Schumer: Share 'confidential' Kavanaugh documents with entire Senate
The Hill ^ | 08/20/18 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 08/20/2018 6:43:51 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Monday that he is requesting that documents from Brett Kavanaugh's White House tenure currently marked "committee confidential" be shared with the entire Senate.

"I will ... be submitting a request to the chairman and the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee for access for all senators to all of the Kavanaugh documents in the possession of the committee," Schumer said on Monday.

He added that "withholding documents from the Senate and the American people under the bogus label of committee confidential is a dark development for the Senate."

As the legal team for former President George W. Bush hands over documents on Kavanaugh's work as a White House counsel to the Judiciary Committee, the paperwork is initially marked "committee confidential." The documents are then reviewed to determine which can be released publicly.

Democrats estimate that roughly one-third of the documents handed over by the Bush legal team to Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) are still marked "committee confidential," preventing them being released publicly.

"It's outrageous. Now, Chairman Grassley is usually a fair minded man. ...But when it comes to this area, Chairman Grassley's actions are manifestly unfair, not typical of his character. I understand the pressure he is under, but that doesn't forgive the result," Schumer added.

Republicans have dismissed the attacks, arguing that Democrats have focused on Kavanaugh's paperwork because they've struggled to find a policy issue that could sink his nomination.

Grassley called out Schumer in a tweet saying any senator was able to stop by the Judiciary Committee to review the documents.

I suggest that Chuck Shumers entire FBI file be shared with the public, along with an audit of his financial gains over the tenure of his time in Congress.

How about a CNN colonoscopy thrown in for free.

After all if it’s good for the President for two years , surely it’s good for Fat Cat Schumer.

Or is the fear of life in prison too hard on the sleazy cheerleader of the Sedition movement?

Tell Shumer to pound sand. They don’t really want the documents they want to stall hoping they regain control of the Senate and take over the house so they can impeach him and have a chance at Senate conviction but at least if not that break the two vote GOP majority so SCOTUS nominations can not squeak thru

Too bad NO ONE in the spineless, gutless, nutless, feckless GOP will not tell Schumer to Go. Pound. Sand.

Is that something they'd have done for comrade dictator obama?

Right.

Whenever Schumer looks over his stupid half glasses and tries to say we should trust him, walk quickly the other way and slam the door.

Chuckie - read the 250K pages you already have and prove it by taking a 10 question quiz...then you can have access to more. I know what you have is 12+ times the size of the ObamaCare Bill and you couldn’t read that even though it affected millions of the people in a bad way, but you can turn over a new leaf at any time....
