As the team prepared to interview Clinton, Kavanaugh advises it to put the president through the wringer “piece by painful piece” when questioning him. With caution in mind, here’s a look at key parts of what will probably be known as “that Kavanaugh memo on Clinton” and the deep offense he took at a president behaving badly. Kavanaugh essentially calls Clinton a self-centered liar who used taxpayer-funded political and legal resources to carry out and help cover up an affair in the Oval Office. Maybe Kavanaugh viewed Clinton so critically because Clinton was a Democrat and Kavanaugh is conservative. But at least in 1998, Kavanaugh was deeply offended by a president accused of behaving badly and thought he should be impeached.
