Brett Kavanaugh

The Intimidation of Patrick Knowlton

“ As a last resort, Knowlton prepared a "Report of Witness Tampering" and took it personally to the Office of the Independent Counsel. "It was their responsibility, at the very least, to find out who leaked word of his subpoena," notes Evans-Pritchard. According to Evans-Pritchard, John Bates responded by calling security and having Knowlton removed from the building.

Perhaps the most telling indication of Starr's attitude toward Knowlton is the humiliating cross-examination to which this brave man was subjected before the grand jury. Knowlton says that he was "treated like a suspect." Prosecutor Brett Kavanaugh appeared to be trying to imply that Knowlton was a homosexual who was cruising Fort Marcy Park for sex. Regarding the suspicious Hispanic-looking man he had seen guarding the park entrance, Kavanaugh asked, Did he "pass you a note?" Did he "touch your genitals?"

Knowlton flew into a rage at Kavanaugh's insinuations. Evans-Pritchard writes that several African American jurors burst into laughter at the spectacle, rocking "back and forth as if they were at a Baptist revival meeting. Kavanaugh was unable to reassert his authority. The grand jury was laughing at him. The proceedings were out of control."

It was at that point, reports Evans-Pritchard, that Patrick Knowlton was finally compelled to confront the obvious: "the Office of the Independent Counsel was itself corrupt." (pp. 106-107)”

For those not familiar- Knowlton was the man who found Vince Foster’s body.

He says there were other people there, the car was not there (yet) and the body had NO GUN in its hand.

[i am close on the facts, not exact- but now you have the context of who Knowlton is, and his treatment by Kavanaugh- I am liking this guy not at all]

I am hoping one of the weirder theories I heard was true- that he was picked so as to FAIL in the confirmation hearings and then expose HilLIARy and the Vince Foster death all over.

Perhaps the most telling indication of Starr's attitude toward Knowlton is the humiliating cross-examination to which this brave man was subjected before the grand jury. . . . Prosecutor Brett Kavanaugh appeared to be trying to imply that Knowlton was a homosexual who was cruising Fort Marcy Park for sex. Regarding the suspicious Hispanic-looking man he had seen guarding the park entrance, Kavanaugh asked, Did he "pass you a note?" Did he "touch your genitals?"

That kind of detail must have come directly from the transcript of the Grand Jury testimony (?!).

Or else perhaps it was "invented" or paraphrased and embellished by someone with an agenda other than strict factual reporting.

Which possibility is more likely?

And if the reported direction of the questioning was largely as reported here, how much of that insinuation was factual?

We have one take on it, but we likely don't have "the truth".
