I haven't played Phoenix wright but this would be like the tutorial level right?
I would be surprised if he suffers any professional consequences to be honest. Hell, there's still a good chance he may get the nomination.I am not disputing that Ford has 100% received much worst. Completely agreed. But I don't think Kavanaugh is going back to a "cushy lifestyle" after this, and I don't think there is any harm in admitting that.
If anything, at this point, he should welcome a criminal investigation to exonerate him, because if he is truly "innocent" no chance many people in public life will think of him as so at this point.
