He might do it, remember he has financial issues
In Washington?
What's the matter with him, is he honest?

Unclear. 200k in credit card debt and 92k in country club dues managed to get paid off in 2017 …. somehow.

Did we have this information during his confirmation hearing?

Yes it was on disclosure forms when he was a circuit court judge. To be fair, 200k was the upper bound, the lower bound of the debt was 90k. So somewhere between the two.

I heard he made a profitable bet on cattle futures.

That's a substantial steak in a new venture.

Sounds like a load of bull to me.

In 2017 his salary as a circuit court judge was $217,600. The credit cards mentioned could have been as low as $52K in total according to his disclosure forms.
His wife was town manager of Chevy Chase, bringing in a low 6 figure salary. She's a financial manager.
Both of them are of an age where inheritances would not be unusual. If the FBI didn't find anything, Mother Jones is unlikely to.

Wasn't he also moonlighting as a prof at that time?

Yep, spokesman said he spent scores of thousands on Nats tickets, carried the debt at credit card interest rates, and then one year his friends all paid him back!
That’s pretty normal, right? That’s how my buddies and I do these things.

You brought up his ‘honesty’, you tell us.

It was a response to a comment.
Gee, who made that comment?

You thought his “honesty” was relevant when it could be assumed, but when the evidence is a bit ambiguous suddenly your attitude is “why does this matter?”
That’s on you, man.

Nope.
I figure that somebody paid his debt off, as they aligned him for bigger things. It's Washington, it's politics and it's money. That kind of stuff is ubiquitous.
Now, is it dishonest or unethical?
