a colleague approached him with documents that had been clearly stolen off of Democratic senators' computers.
He should have reported the theft to the FBI.
Instead he not only kept the theft secret but gave the stolen info to his friends.
And he has never admitted his role nor apologized.
Read the same story back and change the name Kavanaugh to Kagan, Bush to Clinton, and Democratic to Republican.
Think about how you would feel.
Kavanaugh should never have been given the opportunity to work as a federal judge.

He never saw the memos, just the information.

The suspicion is that he should've known it was stolen due to the extensive detail of the provided information. He claimed that he believed it was gathered from people on the opposing side that offered it to the person showing him. There was nothing "clearly stolen" about the information. It's only "clearly stolen" to persons wanting it to be "clearly stolen". Trump's staff should be evidence enough that inside information is leaked by supposedly trusted employees, and this was Kavanaugh's impression from the beginning.

The person that actually showed Kavanaugh said that he never told him it was stolen. Besides, Kavanaugh didn't even review all of the documents but only portions of it.

You're definitely jumping to conclusions here.

The material would have been the property of a Democratic party Senator, even if it was just a draft from a low level staff member.  A leak would have been prosecutable both civilly and criminally.
Leaks out of the Trump administration are also prosecutable but they are a bit different.  They are generally spoken words, not written, and they generally are talking about the President's words behind closed doors, not his political plans.
