It’s not a criminal proceeding. It involves alleged criminal ACTS, but the matter is not being heard in a criminal PROCEEDING. Thus, the 6th is not directly on point.

Correct. It is not directly a criminal proceeding, but it is under oath before a legal body that can pursue as it determines.
So, Kavenaugh is under legal jeopardy.

I would think that 6th Amendment principles should apply.
