Judge Brett Kavanaugh reportedly still has his social calendar from the summer of 1982, and according to the New York Times, he’s bringing it with him when he testifies next week.
Peter Baker, of the New York Times, revealed the information in a series of tweets on Sunday afternoon.
Kavanaugh has calendars from summer 1982 that he plans to give the Senate that don’t show a party that matches Blasey Ford’s description, according to someone working for his confirmation. Calendars can’t prove it didn’t happen but his team will argue there is no corroboration.

The calendars show he was out of town much of the summer at the beach or with his parents and they detail basketball games, movie outings, football workouts and so forth. A few parties are mentioned but include names of people other than those identified by Blasey Ford.

At first, most people just thought it was weird that Kavanaugh still had a calendar from 36 years ago.
He has calendars, plural, from 36 years ago, when he was in high school, in the summertime? This is a weird development.

Idea that teenager kept detailed calendar of daily events, including small, spontaneous, house parties during the summer, is absurd. Fact that Team Kavanaugh is even introducing this is insulting to everyone.

This is really strange. Kavanaugh claims that he kept detailed calendars of his leisure activities when he was 17 years old? And he still has them? https://t.co/NRbnUaVvvC

I had calendar books where I wrote down band concert dates, work schedules and when papers were due. But there’s no chance they still exist. https://t.co/onw9mVSCwi

Even detailed calendars won’t necessarily exonerate Kavanaugh, but his team’s intent is to show that there is no mention of any party like the one described by Christine Blasey Ford.
