Rumors about his resignation circulated for over a year.

But even turtleman didn't want Kavanaugh.

(12,319 posts)6. Yes he is. His son is/was a principal at Deutche bank who loaned trump tons of money
when no American banks would. The corruption is stunningly disgusting with these people. Rumour is Kennedy would only step down if Trump nominated Cavanaugh.

(6,831 posts)5. I seem to recall something about his son
Being in hot water with the Feds and about to be indicted. I think it was financial fraud or some other shenanigans. And he did seem to step down rather quickly. Lots of people talk about retiring, but it's just that - talk. But Kennedy seemed to move fast once the information about his son went public.
A trade-off ?
