Trump Apologizes to Kavanaugh: 'Under Historic Scrutiny, Proven Innocent'
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
President Donald Trump offered an apology “on behalf of the nation” to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his White House swearing-in Monday night — and lashed out at “a campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception.”
At the East Room ceremony, Trump said “we have long been told that the most important decision a president can make is the appointment of a Supreme Court justice,” declaring he would “proudly” swear in the newest member of the nation’s high court.
But he wasted no time in denouncing the chaotic nomination process that included an 11th-hour accusation of sexual assault against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford.
“On behalf of the nation, I'd like to apologize to Brett and the entire Kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you've been forced to endure,” Trump said.
“Those who stepped forward to serve our country deserve a fair and dignified evaluation. Not a campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception.
“What happened to the Kavanaugh family violates every notion of fairness, decency and due process. In our country, a man or a woman must always be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. And with that, I must state that you… under historic scrutiny were proven innocent.”
Trump said that "under historic scrutiny," Kavanaugh was "proven innocent."
The bitter partisan fight over Kavanaugh's nomination became a firestorm after sexual misconduct allegations emerged involving Kavanaugh. He emphatically denied the allegations.
The other eight justices were all in attendance for Monday's swearing-in, which is entirely ceremonial. Kavanaugh officially became a member of the high court Saturday. Kavanaugh already has been at the Supreme Court preparing for his first day on the bench Tuesday.
In his own remarks after taking a cermonial oath, Kavanaugh said the Supreme Court "is not a partisan or political institution," and promised to "always be a team player on a team of nine."
Kavanaugh described the confirmation process as "contentious and emotional" but said he has "no bitterness."
All four of the clerks who will work for him at the high court are women, he added.

Trump said that "under historic scrutiny," Kavanaugh was "proven innocent."
Yep He also basically said Dr Ford lied.
No respect.
Sorry but that sucks !
Same was said of Kavanaugh !
If ya think about it, seems Ford had Feinstein approved attorneys that, even in the hearing on National TV, were telling her what to say.
Hmmmmmmmm……. kinda interesting don't ya think ?
Ever wonder why Feinstein's preferred lawyers haven't brought this so-called allegation to an actual court "OF LAW" ?
Reminds me of all of Gloria Allred's Clients. "Where are they now" ?
Yes she did look to the attorneys for advice from time to time. she also ignored those same attorney and answered questions they probably would have not wanted her to answer. Including Who recommended the attorneys. Ironic eh ?
She was coached....period !
She sure didn't claim that she paid for anything. All she said was...…"I don't know".
Same as her testimony. "I don't remember anything, but I'm 100 percent sure it was Brett".
The most stupid question I ever heard was from "Dick Durbin, and the 100% answer. WTF was she going to say, "I am 25% sure what I said was true" ?
Brett was 100% sure too, but was called a liar.
Double Standard ?
I sure didn't see any "Coaches" next to Brett Kavanaugh's....did you ?
I have more respect for someone that "Goes it ALONE".
I'm not going to go thru your post one by one.
I understand many people have many doubts about many aspects of all of this. It's not my job or desire to change minds.
I have my believes and my reasoning for them. We all do.
I do not agree with some of your post or reasoning, but I'm ok with that its not mine.
IMO: None of us will ever know for sure much of the truth. That's too bad but it is reality.
We aren't here to change minds, we are here to let other Like minded folks know they aren't alone.
That's all there is to blogging.
We differ, but I would have a "Beer" with you anytime.
LOL Yep we differ I dont drink alcohol anymore, I was an alcoholic.
I would be happy to "party" with you though in my way. I like a little marijuana from time to time. It relaxes and enhances my world for me a little for a while.
My best friend drinks and I smoke my stuff, then we Jam out on the drums and his guitar. we both enjoy it. And we dont have to share...lol
To each their own !
As long as you don't morph into some kinda "Streaking" ass, No problem. I guarantee you, I won't be an ass in "Real Life".
LOL.. No problem I dont "morph" anymore that someone having their choice of a an alcohol drink. I used to drink like a fish, unfortunately alcoholism runs deep and strong enough to kill in my family so alcohol could not remain my drug of choice or likely I would not be here. I have two younger siblings already dead from it. But, I chose life.
I also like to have something to enhance my senses and that's the kind I get. So, No morphing involved !
And FYI, I've never streaked so no worries there.
These days I dont even like the taste of beer, long after I stopped drinking I sat down to have a beer with my brother after not seeing him for a long time and I couldn't even drink it. The taste wasn't there for me anymore. yuck.. Thankfully.
That makes it so much easier not to want to drink again, maybe ever !!
Party on Garth.
Thanks But, I don’t consider the way I still do “party” to actually be healthy. Healthier for Me than I used to party though for damn sure.
Now days my partying days are much less and I stick with only the natural form, no concentrates or manmade crap. And even then very moderately to boot. Age takes its toll and eventually I do learn as well. LOL
Trump corrupt FBI did the investigation, they didn't even try.
Don't blame me, trump ha said the FBI is corrupt...many times.
The same FBI you leftists demanded do further investigation
Trump said they are corrupt.. Weird that that suddenly aren't when he needs to have them back his BS. Fish on!!!!!!! LOL
When will the stupidity we see daily from some on the right end?
As soon as some on NT quit posting - ya think?
Most likely when some of the left remove the mile wide blinders they routinely wear.
Let he without sin throw the first stone .
How would I know that ?
IMO: Dr Ford did what she believe to be the right thing, I do not agree with how she started it. Wanting to remain anonymous was understandable but not realistic.
Her request or insistence that she remain anonymous created many problems with achieving her goal of revealing her story.
I will say this, whoever leaded Dr Ford's name did the whole country a disservice IMO:
It probably would have died on someones desk if her name had not been leaked because with out any siunbstanication it wouldn't have a life.
Opps.. leaked
I have NO idea and dont even care to speculate. I have no idea how many people were actually involved where and when or to what degree.
Can't argue with you there.
As soon as the left stops their lunatic actions on everything under the sun.
Blatant, flat out, LIE. I would expect no less from trumptard the liar.
Te FBI report is SEALED, no one knows what is in it and you cannot prove someone, "innocent", you can only say they are not guilty and yes, there is a huge difference.
No difference. And yes, people have read the report, obviously. Your post is obtuse.
So what does it say? Do tell.
