The Brett Kavanaugh story just keeps getting weirder. It turns out that Kavanaugh has hired as his attorney the former of David Gregory, former host of Meet the Press.

According to Heavy:

"Beth Wilkinson and David Gregory were married in 2000, in a ceremony on Nantucket Island.

David Gregory formerly served as anchor on Meet the Press and is now an analyst for CNN. Gregory came under fire while he was a reporter covering the Bush White House, since he was often accused of having a "liberal bias.”

End excerpt.

Think that's bad?  It gets worse:

"In 2016, as the FBI was investigating Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State, four top Clinton staffers hired Beth Wilkinson to represent them.

Wilkinson represented Cheryl Mills, who served as legal and political adviser to Clinton. She also represented Mill’s deputy, Heather Samuelson. Samuelson was the person who sorted Clinton’s emails into work and personal, so that the "personal” messages could be deleted.

And Wilkinson represented Clinton’s former deputy chief of staff Jake Sullivan, and Phillippe Reines, who served as Clinton’s spokesman and also used personal email for work purposes at State."

End excerpt.

This is the person representing Brett Kavanaugh. Didn't he learn a thing from Michael Cohen, who was largely thrown to the wolves by his lawyer, the Democrat operative Lanny Davis?  Davis cared more about scoring political points than his client, and I wonder if Wilkinson will do the same.

She has already told CNN that it was possible Kavanaugh knew Mrs. Ford, his accuser. You don't do that when representing a client.

Are Republicans really that stupid?

Wilkinson also prosecuted Manuel Noriega and Timothy McViegh, arguing for the death penalty for the latter. She also represented the NFL when they were sued by players for concussions. She also represented Jake Sullivan, Phillippe Reines, as well as Heather Mills for Clinton. See Politico for more.

Is this the lawyer for the job?  Somehow I think not.
