Letter: Kavanaugh nomination shows Trump's corruption

Evansville

I was right with my last Sunday's letter to the editor about Trump naming Brett Kavanaugh to sit on the Supreme Court.

This whole thing reeks of corruption: Trump had met Justice Kennedy months before his announced retirement and assured Kennedy that he would name his former law clerk and now federal judge in D.C. as his replacement if he stepped down during his term in office.

Then to sweeten the deal, Kennedy's son who works for Deutsche Bank, aided Trump in securing one billion dollars in loans from the bank with a long history of suspected money laundering. Brett Kavanaugh's stance on presidential protection against any all all investigations, indictments, testimony and likely his views on Trump pardoning himself made Kavanaugh Trump's selected nominee months ago.

The whole charade of his the president interviewing other candidates just shows how corrupt this man truly is. Kavanaugh has replaced Cohen as his "fixer". And, what is amazing is that Trump continues to characterize Hillary Clinton as being "Crooked Hillary".

Once Trump and those in Congress who aid and abet his continued corrupt way of governing are gone, America needs to take a hot soapy shower. In the meantime, it may be a mean time and that is why we all need to get out and vote Democratic on November 6th.
