Kavanaugh might have just lied under oath about whether or not he watched his accuser's testimony.
During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the sexual assault allegation by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford against President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) closed out her line of questioning with a simple query: "Did you watch Dr. Ford's testimony?"
"I did not," replied Kavanaugh. "I plan to, but I did not. I was preparing mine."
Brett Kavanaugh: "I did not. I plan to but I did not -- I was preparing mine" Full coverage: Kavanaugh and Ford hearing
It would not have been surprising if Kavanaugh had decided not to watch Ford's testimony. When Clarence Thomas was accused of sexual harassment by Anita Hill, he did not bother to watch her hearing either.
But in fact, it turns out Kavanaugh might be lying.
At least, he is lying if you believe a Senate Judiciary staffer who told the Wall Street Journal earlier today that Kavanaugh had been among a group of people watching Ford's testimony from a monitor in the Dirksen Senate Office Building:
=================================================
Oh, oh. Kavanaugh of Loose Morals caught in a perjury trap, a little fib under oath. Of course he watched Dr. Ford's testimony, if only to prepare his own. So why lie about it under oath when asked a few hours later?
