Hillary Clinton's own private grudge matchAssuming for the sake of argument that Hillary! is the person behind the return, it seems a more likely reason is that Kavanaugh failed to complete his mission, which appears to be reasonable coverup of Foster evidentiary disputes and the stifling of other evidence from Starr report. That is, not that Kavanaugh is an enemy of Clinton, rather, he is a failed soldier.
Saturday, January 07, 2006Why is Sen. Clinton so particularly vindictive toward Brett Kavanaugh? Apparently, for simple revenge. Mr. Kavanaugh was an important mid-level attorney on the staff of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, whose investigation of course is famous for leading to the impeachment of her husband.
But the senator's vendetta against Mr. Kavanaugh is misplaced. No less an authority than famed Watergate journalist Bob Woodward reported in his book on the Starr investigation that Mr. Kavanaugh, then only in his early 30s, was the voice of wisdom on the Starr team. Mr. Kavanaugh was one of two key lawyers who urged Mr. Starr not to include all the prurient details of the Lewinsky affair into the counsel's main report to Congress.
Again and again, Mr. Woodward portrayed Mr. Kavanaugh as being a fact-based straight shooter with little personal interest in going for the proverbial jugular against the Clintons.
Not only that, but it was Mr. Kavanaugh whose main handiwork for the counsel's office was the report that exonerated the Clintons from allegations by conspiracists concerning the sad death of Clinton associate Vince Foster.
