The one-degree of separation between Jeffrey Epstein and Brett Kavanaugh

Among the documents being slowly sorted from Jeffrey Epstein's investigation are email and text exchanges in which the trafficker expresses his heartfelt sympathies for now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh as he was forced to reckon with allegations of assault, The Guardian reported. It also showed a close relationship between Epstein and one of Kavanaugh's mentors.

On Sept. 22, 2018, Epstein told one person with a redacted name, “Ive sat in Kavanaugh chair. Im thinking of November.”

It isn't clear what the reference to November was, but it could be about the midterm elections. While Epstein appeared to be photographed with some Democratic officials, it's growing increasingly clear that he had long-standing policy agreements with MAGA. While coordinating with former Trump campaign manager and advisor Steve Bannon, the two men plotted the overthrow of several European countries and dreamed about the "take down" of the late Pope Francis.

While the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony from one of Kavanaugh's accusers, who alleged he assaulted her in high school while visibly drunk, Epstein called it "a trap!"

“Iye [sic] been through many of these. MANY!! She will cry, make sordid allegations. Say she feels bullied, fearful, traumatized. Every thing bad in her life was s result of the rape attempt. Suffered anxiety! Her relationships with men etc. this is a very special skill set needed," Epstein said.

Epstein has been accused of trafficking many underage girls to the rich and powerful.

At one point after watching the hearing, Epstein attacked the GOP's choice of a female prosecutor, rather than the all-male Judiciary Committee questioning Kavanaugh's accuser.

In a message to another redacted name, Epstein wrote on Sept. 27, 2018: “horrible choice of prosecutor woman. critical and maybe lethal mistake. . prosecutors don’t cross examine. they prosecute.. power on their side . she should have been a criminal defense attorney.”

He had his own questions that he thought the Kavanaugh accuser should have been asked. He wanted to know if there was a history of anxiety in her family or whether the lights were on in the bedroom. He wanted to know if she'd seen Kavanaugh again and wanted to know more about how she got away, The Guardian summarized.

"In another message, Epstein said she should have been asked about how 'therapist notes' allegedly differed from her account," the report said.

Lisa Graves, who previously served as chief counsel for nominations in the Senate Judiciary Committee, called Epstein's messages disgraceful.

She told The Guardian it was “appalling to see a sexual predator weighing in this way against a woman who courageously testified about a man at the precipice of one of the most powerful posts in the country."

“It is shocking in part because you have this person who was at the center of efforts to abuse young women and girls and you have an adult woman testifying how she was allegedly treated by Kavanaugh and his friend, at an age when she was still a girl,” Graves added.

The report said that they haven't uncovered any evidence that Kavanaugh had a relationship with Epstein. Former special counsel and U.S. solicitor general Ken Starr, however, knew him quite well.

Starr was the independent investigator appointed by Republicans to probe into former President Bill Clinton's relationship with then-intern Monica Lewinsky. Kavanaugh was a key part of Starr's investigation team. Starr was a "close personal friend and professional contact of Epstein," the Guardian said, up until his death in prison in 2019.

"On 23 August 2018, Epstein appeared to ask Starr about a report that was to be released about Kavanaugh and the Starr investigation," said The Guardian. However, Starr told Epstein, “No writing for now. The release should be a non-event for Brett. I get criticized in one portion of the report, but no finding of illegality.”

Epstein gushed to his friend a few days later over the "disclosure" document, saying that it reminded him of "what a genius" Starr was as a lawyer.

The National Archives and Records Administration released documents showing details about Kavanaugh's role in the Clinton probe. Kavanaugh's aim was to “make [Clinton’s] pattern of revolting behavior clear." There was a list of graphic and explicit questions that he wanted Clinton to be asked.

The Guardian reported, "Earlier emails seem to also indicate that Kavanaugh was Epstein’s favorite to be nominated by Donald Trump. Epstein and Starr traded messages about it on 4 July 2018, days before the news was official, and Epstein called Kavanaugh his 'first choice.'"
