(George Priest is also the YLS professor who picked Brett Kavanaugh for the Kozinski clerkship that set Kavanaugh up for the SCOTUS clerkship with Justice Kennedy that set him up for … his current job.)

THAT IS A FORM OF INFLUENCE. YOU’RE A FUCKING LAW PROFESSOR.

George Priest, a Yale Law School professor who has vacationed with Thomas and Crow, told ProPublica he believes Crow’s generosity was not intended to influence Thomas’ views but rather to make his life more comfortable. “He views Thomas as a Supreme Court justice as having a limited salary,” Priest said. “So he provides benefits for him.”

Perhaps he viewed Kavaaugh’s abilities as limited. So he provided him benefits?
