Title: The Education of Brett Kavanaugh Pdf An Investigation
"[The authors'] real work is to smooth out the main story, create a fuller picture of Kavanaugh himself...so that the confirmation showdown has a kind of cinematic inevitability." (The New York Times)
From New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, a deeper look at the formative years of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and his confirmation.
In September 2018, the FBI was given only a week to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct against Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump's Supreme Court nominee. But even as Kavanaugh was sworn in to his lifetime position, many questions remained unanswered, leaving millions of Americans unsettled.
During the Senate confirmation hearings that preceded the bureau's brief probe, New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly broke critical stories about Kavanaugh's past, including the "Renate Alumni" yearbook story. They were inundated with tips from former classmates, friends, and associates that couldn't be fully investigated before the confirmation process closed. Now, their book fills in the blanks and explores the essential question: Who is Brett Kavanaugh?
The Education of Brett Kavanaugh paints a picture of the prep-school and Ivy-League worlds that formed our newest Supreme Court Justice. By offering commentary from key players from his confirmation process who haven't yet spoken publicly and pursuing lines of inquiry that were left hanging, it will be essential listening for anyone who wants to understand our political system and Kavanaugh's unexpectedly emblematic role in it.

Rating is based on NYT coverage I have not read the book. I did read the excerpt or article based on the book that appeared in The New York Times; an excerpt which bizarrely omitted the fact that the alleged victim of the new incident hasn't discussed it with the reporters or in public, and her friends say that she doesn't recall the incident; it also bizarrely omitted the fact that the person making the complaint was one of Bill Clinton's lawyers in his defense against the Paula Jones lawsuit. It's low-grade gossip that would possibly not be published by even a gossip Web site like TMZ. For the NYT to publish it in that format was simply astounding, and speaks poorly of everyone involved.Poor losers Democrats just can't lose gracefully. The lies and smears never end.Opinion book with glaring factual omissions that draws conclusions on “gut” feeling I did not vote for Trump in 2016, and I am far more interested in factual truth than which party “wins.” A friend gave me this to me to compare to Justice on Trial, which I finished last week.From what I’ve read, this book is nothing more than an attempt to have a one-sided debate to justify “I believe” mattering more than facts. This book basically argues that the “gut” feelings of people who don’t know Kavanaugh matter more than facts or the opinions of those that do.To take one example that is well publicized, the author’s acknowledge that Leland Keyser was threatened by Dr. Ford’s friends with a smear campaign for not backing Dr. Ford’s “story.” The authors acknowledge that Ms. Keyser does not think Dr. Ford’s story is even plausible. Yet, the authors believe their “gut” feeling about Justice Kavanaugh’s guilt is more reliable than those Dr. Ford identified as supposed witnesses, including Ms. Keyser. It’s just weird.The weirdness is made worse by frequent mischaracterizations of the true identity of the players in the saga and glaring factual omissions are evident throughout. Max Stier, for example, was part of Bill Clinton’s defense team while Kavanaugh worked with Kenneth Starr. That important fact was omitted.The conclusions the author’s draw about their personal “gut” feelings on guilt are either a transparent attempt to avoid a libel suit, or the authors really are so arrogant as to believe themselves clairvoyant. Maybe both.If you are looking for biased reinforcement that Kavanuagh is “bad” with little concern for actual truth and facts, this book is for you. If you want a well sourced factual account that provides context and provides all the facts, read Justice on Trial.
