Yet another aging Democrat put on a nationally-televised demonstration of the need for Congressional term limits. Watch as 78-year-old Patrick Leahy makes reference to an email that doesn’t actually exist. Senator Leahy attempts to insinuate the email in question was stolen from him SIXTEEN YEARS AGO as nearly everyone in the hearing room, including Leahy’s own staff, look on increasingly confused as to what the senator is talking about. For his part, Judge Kavanaugh shows a remarkable degree of patience while also managing to entrap the senator in his own confused lie. From there a badly beaten Leahy makes a hasty retreat and changes the subject.

No he is up for election in 2020 and know he PDJT to win. Graham if reelected will go back to being a pain in neck. Remember McCain used DJT for votes as well then stab him bach over and over. Graham is no different.
As a perspective Supreme Court Judge I would ask the Senator what action he took when he realized that the e-mail in question was stolen?
I don’t know that Leahy is senile. The betting on him is that he’s a drunk, given his slurred speech on a number of occasions through the years. What I’m more interested in figuring out is/are the gender(s) of that staff person behind him and to his right.
“Watch as 78-year-old Patrick Leahy makes reference to an email that doesn’t actually exist. “
In his spare time he is knitting a quilt that doesn’t actually exist.
Leahy is still obsessing over the so-called "Memogate" incident when Orrin Hatch's aide Manuel Miranda found a Democrat strategy memo written by Jay Rockefeller on the shared-access server for the Senate Select Intelligence Committee.
See these links for details:
In short, this incident was about Democrats on the supposedly non-political Senate Intelligence Committee strategized to use minority powers on the committee to force nuisance investigations into President Bush, until such time as there was no more value to be gotten from working with Republicans, and then the Democrats would "pull the trigger" and issue minority reports.
Republicans had Democrat Jay Rockefeller on the ropes, but Hatch's cowardice let Rockefeller wiggle out of it by accusing Hatch's aide Miranda of "breaking into" the Democrat computer, when it was a shared committee computer that Rockefeller used to store his "pull the trigger" strategy memo against President Bush.
Because of Hatch's weakness back then when he fired Miranda, Democrats changed the narrative from their politicization of the Intelligence Committee to a Republican committee staffer "hacking" their server and "stealing" their memos. Democrats today are still calling it "stealing" documents that were openly available on a committee shared computer.
I personally see this as the turning point in modern Republican-Democrat power relations. Republicans blinked, Hatch chickened out and fired his aide, and Democrats ever since have learned that they can cause a stink and Republicans will back down.
This is the incident that "broke" the Republicans will to use power.

Nothing in his performance would contradict your belief.
” I think after this November....his state folks ought to find some way to convince him to retire.”
Vermont democrats are just as crazy so they don’t see anything wrong.
The Old democrat warhorse needs to be put out to pasture!
Patrick Leahy: “Did you steal my lime green Jello 16 years ago that was being served at the Happy Idiots Nursing Home? Because I really like lime green Jello and this time they had those sliced up carrots, which I really, really like, in it.
“Somebody stole my Jello.”
My father-in-law insisted that Mexicans were going into his shower at night and giving him athletes foot.
“Leaky” Leahy is still alive? I didn’t realize.
I went over to DUmmieland to see what they have been saying about this whole situation.
Here’s the headline for the thread they are all back slapping and high fiving each other over.
*BAM! Sen. Leahy is just now showing that Kavanaugh perjured himself in denying he had received stolen, hacked Democratic emails back in the 2000s.*
The delusion is incredible over there.
“I’ve been here 40 years...”
Says it all.
Is Leaky taking dementia meds? Ask the pharmacist. Or is he showing signs of a brain tumor?
The old guy needs a fresh bowl of Malt-O-Meal.
Sheesh.
Kavanaugh gets a gold star for handling him without laughing.
There are some who oppose term limits and any change in the length of terms because of over 200 years of precedent. The founders made it that way and it’s been part of our heritage.
But, so was slavery, and we managed to change that!
I’m surprise Leahy didn’t ask BK if he thought Guam would tip over with so many troops on it.
He’s the senile senator in that stupid Batman vs Superman movie. No lines, he does get blown up by Lex Luthor so that was pretty cool
Lindsey Graham has a good legal mind and has put on other strong displays like this one.
On the other hand, he’s also a pro-Amnesty cheap-labor advocate.
You take what you can get sometimes.
Very low bar.
