Moments after Senator Cory Booker dropped his bombshell emails on Kavanaugh’s (HORRIFYING) beliefs about racial profiling, Senator Kamala Harris told reporters that she had good reason for questioning Kavanaugh about a conversation he might have had with a Kasowitz lawyer regarding the Mueller Trump Russia probe.

Manu Raju reported:

As she entered the hearing room, Sen. Kamala Harris didn’t provide more details about why she questioned Kavanaugh about a conversation he may have had with a Kasowitz lawyer on Mueller probe. “I have a good reason to believe there was a conversation,” Harris said to us.

Asked what she was basing it off of, she said: “Information that I’ve received that’s pretty reliable and I asked him a clear question and he couldn’t give a clear answer.” Has she seen any documentation of this? “I can’t give you more than that.”

During Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary confirmation hearing, Harris pressed Kavanaugh on potential conversations he might have had regarding special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

Harris asked whether or not Judge Kavanaugh had ever discussed Mueller or his investigation with anyone at the law firm founded by Trump’s personal lawyer Marc Kasowitz, Kasowitz Benson & Torres.

“Have you discussed Mueller or his investigation with anyone at Kasowitz Benson and Torres, the law firm founded by Marc Kasowitz, President Trump’s personal lawyer? Be sure about your answer, sir,” said Harris.

Kavanaugh would not give a definitive answer.

Thursday, moments after a document dump of sunlight by Senator Booker as Republicans seek to hide unprecedented levels of documents about Kavanaugh – a man nominated by a president under investigation for possibly colluding with a hostile foreign government against the United States – Harris suggests she asked this specific question for a reason.
