Lisa Murkowski’s Brother Went To Brett Kavanaugh’s High School

The senator may have more insight into the culture that Christine Blasey Ford has described.
By Amanda Terkel and Ashley Feinberg

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) has a brother who went to the same high school as Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in the 1980s, giving her a deeper insight into the atmosphere and culture of the elite private school world in Washington, D.C., as Kavanaugh faces an allegation of sexual assault from his teenage years.

Brian Murkowski, the senator’s younger brother, was three years behind Kavanaugh at Georgetown Prep. A person who was in Brian’s class described him as a “big-time partier” and noted that the school seemed to really get serious and crack down on partying in 1986. It’s not clear if Murkowski was there for all of high school, but he attended at least in his sophomore year.

It’s not clear how much Lisa Murkowski has talked to her brother, who stays out of the public eye. But she’s evidently consulted him at least briefly, because Karina Borger, Murkowski’s spokeswoman, said that “Senator Murkowski’s brother didn’t know Kavanaugh.”

Forget HuffPo's slant, that's an interesting factoid.

A lot of prominent people sure went to these schools. Despite all we are hearing about these places, I guess, the schools must be rated top notch and prestigious, not your average High School.

She went to Georgetown U as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Murkowski

Georgetown Prep has 500 boys enrolled at a time but when the media is done with this angle Murkowski's kid brother will have been joined to Kavanaugh at the hip.

Yep.  It's a HuffPo piece.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Do they mean Kavanaugh or Brian Murkowski was the big partier. The paragraph leaves it open to me.  It sounds like they mean Brian.

So, it could have been Murkowski at Ford's party?   :pondering:

Yep.  It's a HuffPo piece.

But it's vital information all the same. She's a possible "no" vote for Pete's sake. Sorry if it is offensive to some.  I saw a comment that an extensive FBI background check should have caught something like this and probably did.
