Lawfare Boss Benjamin Wittes quit Twitter after his Kavanaugh lies backfired

Wittes, the consigliere of the "Lawfare Blog" at the Brookings Zerg Hive, is mostly known for wearing a tuxedo on his Twitter avatar, and being old friends with James "Lockheed Cash Money" Comey.

With buds like that, it's no surprise he is also tight with DC Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh, yet another patsy of the malevolent Federalist Society foisted upon our sad nation.

In one of his tedious tweetstorms Wittes assured everyone that A) Kavanaugh would never lie; B) his emails with Kavanaugh are basically meaningless. Not so fast Mr Tux, "pretending to believe it's absurd to think [Kav] would ever lie."

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) poked holes in the titanic concealment of Kavanaugh's disgusting email records. Thus surfaced proof of Wittes conspiring with Kavanaugh, enabling everyone to turn him into an online corncob for obviously shilling for his buddy. Booker pointed out amid the files the GOP tried to hide:

The documents released today also pertain to Kavanaugh’s involvement with the nomination of Judge William Pryor to the Eleventh Circuit; Kavanaugh denied any involvement in the controversial judge’s nomination during his 2004 Senate confirmation hearing for the DC Circuit Court but today’s emails contradict that claim by showing Kavnaugh’s involvement in the Judge’s nomination.

Kavanaugh used materials stolen from Democratic Party-controlled computer systems by Republican Senate Judiciary Committee staffer Manny Miranda about Judge William H. "Bill" Pryor, another far right hellbat from Alabama, notorious for his shitty views on Black people and The Gays (he even filed an amicus brief in Lawrence v. Texas to support criminalizing gaystuff).

Terrible people like Wittes and David Frum have crafted big followings pitching a pompous #Resistance mythos but once in a while, like here, the mask drops and you can see their love for corrupt lawyers and especially in Frum's case a murderous hatred of Palestinians.

To summarize, as an old friend put it, America is run by "bent lawyers." If you buy into the Wittes fantasy that Kavanaugh would never lie, you are so far down the rabbit hole of deception that you'll never climb out.
