Schumer pushes George W. Bush to release Kavanaugh documents
By Jordain Carney - 07/27/18 01:25 PM EDT

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is appealing to former President George W. Bush in an escalating fight over documents tied to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Schumer, in a letter to be released on Friday, is asking for Bush's help with a "time-sensitive request" — to publicly release all paperwork from Kavanaugh's service in the Bush White House, where he worked as a legal counsel and staff secretary.

"My purpose ... is to ask you to authorize that the complete record of Judge Kavanaugh's service in the White House be made public so all Americans can be informed about this nomination and the Senate can fulfill its constitutional advice and consent obligations," Schumer wrote.

The letter, first reported by The Washington Post, comes as senators are locked in negotiations about what documents to request as part of the Senate's vetting of Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination.

What is it the Chuckie things is going to be revealed about Kavanaugh that may prevent him from getting the nomination, or is he simply just making a dog and pony show and wasting time?

President Bush should tell Schumer to stuff it.  I suspect the papers couldn't be released anyway since there iwould likely be securityp and privilege issues.

He’s providing grist for the Democrats’ news media arm. He opens his hole and reporters run with it.

Pretty much what I thought.
