‘He Should Clearly Be Impeached’: Victim in Stolen Memos Case Tied to Brett Kavanaugh Says the Nominee Perjured Himself

“But he lied. Under oath. And he did so repeatedly.”

In a tightly argued and powerful article for Slate, a Democrat who was one of the victims of a document theft related to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s time in the White House argued Friday that the judge should be impeached.

Kavanaugh, Lisa Graves argued, repeatedly lied to Congress under oath about his involvement with the stolen materials.

She noted that just receiving the documents, which she says were taken by GOP Senate aide Manuel Miranda ,isn’t an impeachable offense. Graves said that Miranda stole the “confidential memos, letters, and talking points,” some of which she personally wrote, which were part of the Democrats’ private communications about blocking President George W. Bush’s controversial judicial nominees. Some of this material was passed on to Kavanaugh, though he says he wasn’t aware that the documents were stolen.
