WaPo’s Leonnig: DC Circuit Has Sent Complaints About Kavanaugh’s Testimony to Chief Justice Roberts

‘Chief Justice John Roberts has not referred them for investigation’

RUSH EXCERPT:

LEONNIG: "Yeah, it was interesting they’ve been working on the story for the last 72 and finally confirmed key pieces of it. One, that a federal judge who is a peer of Judge Kavanaugh’s and is a Republican referred 15 different misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh to the chief justice in the last three weeks. She decided that these were not frivolous cases although she rejected a few as frivolous. This set of 15 she said they are warranting additional investigation. But in that time, Chief Justice John Roberts has not referred them for investigation. It’s causing a lot of heartburn in the court community about why justice Roberts would not move with some speed as he encourages others to do on these kinds of ethical misconduct cases. Why would he not move forward. Well, it happened to be during the fairly tense confirmation hearing."
