Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has privately informed senators that he believes the appointment of a special counsel by the Justice Department is appropriate, CNN reported.
But, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to CNN, he has held onto his questioning of whether a sitting President can be indicted and has indicated that it’s up to Congress to impeach a president. Kavanaugh reportedly has been careful to not weigh in on the constitutionality of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe nor share his views on a presidential subpoena.
After conversations with the nominee, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) told CNN that he is not concerned that Kavanaugh is doubtful about the legality of Mueller’s probe.

Yup. I am definitely going to trust Flake & Co on this.
Me too. For a second there I was worried, but if someone as principled as Flake thinks he’s OK he must be alright after all.

He will say whatever it takes to get this job. This ‘interview ‘ is a farce.
Appropriate as long as Mueller remembers he has no power to compel testimony or indict Prez Crime Boss.
If he won’t say it in public, then what’s the point? Kavanaugh seems to be the worst nominee in many decades. Opposing him should be a no-brainer.
