It took a last-minute Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the National Archives, but the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has uncovered that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh may have played an important role in some of the Bush administration’s most questionable surveillance programs just after the 9/11 attacks.
EPIC learned from the archives that Kavanaugh, while working as a top White House aide, sent 227 emails to other staffers concerning “surveillance” and the “Patriot Act.” EPIC Senior Counsel Alan Butler told me it’s unusual that the word “surveillance” would be used in email communications among lawyers in the executive branch under normal circumstances. The word is more likely to appear in the context of discussions about the legality and constitutionality of specific programs or practices.
The existence of the emails raise serious questions about Kavanaugh’s involvement in–and judgement over–the administration’s warrantless wiretapping programs, the Patriot Act, the “CAPPS II” passenger profiling program, and the “Fusion centers” that databased large amounts of personal data on U.S. citizens gathered from a variety of public and private sources.
Kavanaugh also sent 11 emails to John Yoo, the lead attorney on the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program, which was later curtailed by the U.S. Congress. Butler told me Kavanaugh exchanged at least one email with Yoo concerning “surveillance” and the Fourth Amendment. Yoo is also known for writing the early legal opinions that seemed to provide the legal cover for the administration’s most notorious interrogation practices, like waterboarding. Both those opinions, known as the “torture memos,” were later rescinded by the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel.
After taking office, President Obama used an executive order to repudiate and rescind all of Yoo’s legal opinions concerning interrogation. Based on the preliminary data from the archives, EPIC sent a letter to the ranking members of the Senate and ranking members of the Judiciary Committee Wednesday night asking that Kavanaugh’s nomination process and final vote be delayed another week. The proposed delay is intended to give the archives enough time to release the full content of the Kavanaugh emails. The Judiciary Committee acknowledged receipt of the letter, but has not responded to its substance.

I actually agree that there aint no such thing as former KGB. But I don't think that makes Putin automatically evil. Pretty much everything Russia is being accused of has been done by "The West" too. Election meddling, assassinations, coup d'états, invading countries, killing civilians, torture. The West hass been there, done that.
I think when Putin came into power he was willing to give us the benefit of doubt while of course hedging his bets. Well, we cornered the bear and keep poking instead of offering partnerships where everyone sees eye to eye.

People need to remember that Putin is "former" hard-line KGB.
The Cold War never ended. It just got colder.
He will never tip his hand and he is ruthless.
Remember all the people who criticize him are poisoned with polonium, die in plane crashes, or disappear.
