Let’s hijack the Wayback Machine from Mr. Peabody and travel back to 1998. Impeachment was in the air. Congressional Republicans seized on the report by Kenneth Starr’s team and impeached President Bill Clinton for lying under oath about an extramarital affair. The trial failed to convict Clinton, but there was collateral damage. Three Republicans who were the most zealous about prosecuting the case wound up resigning their posts, including two Speakers of the House of Representatives. Their sins? Adultery. And the latest member of the pro-impeachment group to find himself ensnared by allegations of sexual misconduct? Brett Kavanaugh, who worked on the Starr investigation. Karma works in interesting ways.

In his recent statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Brett Kavanaugh described the proceedings as a “grotesque and coordinated character assassination.” He went on to threaten that “What goes around, comes around.”
How ironic. Kavanaugh was one of the authors behind the Starr report, which could easily be described as a grotesque and coordinated character assassination, a GOP attempt to impeach Bill Clinton. His alleged crime? Lying about a consensual sex act.
Kavanaugh is accused of lying about an attempted rape. The FBI is now investigating.
What goes around, comes around.
