Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a complaint to the Board of Professional Responsibility of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals of Debra S. Katz, Lisa J. Banks, and Michael R. Bromwich for violating the rules of professional responsibility in their representation of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford

According to the Judicial Watch complaint, by not informing their client Dr. Ford that Sen. Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee offered in a letter to “fly female staff investigators to meet Dr. Ford… in California, or anywhere else, to obtain (her) testimony,” Katz, Banks, and Bromwich violated the following District of Columbia Rules of Professional Conduct:

Rule l.4(a) – A lawyer shall keep a client reasonably informed about the status of a matter and promptly comply with reasonable requests for information.

Rule 1.4(b) – A lawyer shall explain a matter to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the client to make informed decisions regarding the representation.

When the hearing finally took place on September 27, 2018, however, the following exchange took place between Dr. Ford, under oath, and counsel for the Committee, Rachel Mitchell:

“MITCHELL: May I ask, Dr. Ford, how did you get to Washington?

FORD: In an airplane.

MITCHELL: OK. It’s – I ask that, because it’s been reported by the press that you would not submit to an interview with the committee because of your fear of flying. Is – is that true?

FORD: Well, I was willing – I was hoping that they would come to me, but then I realized that was an unrealistic request.

MITCHELL: It would’ve been a quicker trip for me.

FORD: Yes. So that was certainly what I was hoping, was to avoid having to get on an airplane, but I eventually was able to get up the gumption with the help of some friends, and get on the plane.”



Mitchell’s questioning at the hearing continued:

“MITCHELL: Was it communicated to you by your counsel or someone else, that the committee had asked to interview you and that – that they offered to come out to California to do so?

BROMWICH: We’re going to object, Mr. Chairman, to any call for privileged conversations between counsel and Dr. Ford. It’s a privileged conversation …

(CROSSTALK)

GRASSLEY: Would – could – could we – could you validate the fact that the offer was made without her saying a word?

BROMWICH: (OFF-MIKE)

GRASSLEY: Is it possible for that question to be answered without violating any counsel relationships?

FORD: Can I say something to you – do you mind if I say something to you directly?

GRASSLEY: Yes.

FORD: I just appreciate that you did offer that. I wasn’t clear on what the offer was. If you were going to come out to see me, I would have happily hosted you and had you – had been happy to speak with you out there. I just did not – it wasn’t clear to me that that was the case.

Swetnick, Avenatti Referred for Criminal Investigation - Providing False Statements, Obstructing Congressional Investigations, and Conspiracy All Violate Federal Law

WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley today referred Julie Swetnick and her attorney Michael Avenatti to the Justice Department for criminal investigation relating to a potential conspiracy to provide materially false statements to Congress and obstruct a congressional committee investigation, three separate crimes, in the course of considering Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States.

While the Committee was in the middle of its extensive investigation of the late-breaking sexual-assault allegations made by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Avenatti publicized his client’s allegations of drug- and alcohol-fueled gang rapes in the 1980s. The obvious, subsequent contradictions along with the suspicious timing of the allegations necessitate a criminal investigation by the Justice Department.

“When a well-meaning citizen comes forward with information relevant to the committee’s work, I take it seriously. It takes courage to come forward, especially with allegations of sexual misconduct or personal trauma. I’m grateful for those who find that courage,” Grassley said. “But in the heat of partisan moments, some do try to knowingly mislead the committee. That’s unfair to my colleagues, the nominees and others providing information who are seeking the truth. It stifles our ability to work on legitimate lines of inquiry. It also wastes time and resources for destructive reasons. Thankfully, the law prohibits such false statements to Congress and obstruction of congressional committee investigations. For the law to work, we can’t just brush aside potential violations. I don’t take lightly making a referral of this nature, but ignoring this behavior will just invite more of it in the future.”

Grassley referred Swetnick and Avenatti for investigation in a letter sent today to the Attorney General of the United States and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The letter notes potential violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 1001 and 1505, which respectively define the federal criminal offenses of conspiracy, false statements and obstruction of Congress. The referral seeks further investigation only, and is not intended to be an allegation of a crime.

The referral methodically details the issues with Swetnick’s allegations as relayed by Avenatti, the immediate diversion of committee resources to investigate those allegations, the subsequent contradictions by both Swetnick and Avenatti, the lack of substantiating or corroborating evidence, and the overarching and serious credibility problems pervading the presentation of these allegations.

Swetnick made her allegations in a sworn statement to the committee on September 26. In an October 1 interview with NBC News, however, Swetnick specifically and explicitly back-tracked or contradicted key parts of her sworn statement on these and other allegations. In subsequent interviews, Avenatti likewise cast serious doubt on or contradicted the allegations while insisting that he had thoroughly vetted his client.

Last month, Grassley referred for criminal investigation an individual who made false sexual-assault allegations against Justice Kavanaugh, which were then investigated by committee staff before the individual recanted the claims on social media.

I'm proud of Chuck Grassley!

Excellent letter on the chairman's part and a great read. I skimmed through it pretty quickly as sdy noted. Lots of this has been issued piecemeal before, but if you want to see it all in one easy to follow compilation, this is highly recommended.

Yeah, and this is no surprise. You barely have to read between the lines on this one:

Planned Parenthood Still Believes Julie Swetnick

It's a puzzler, ain't it?

I tell ya- the more I read about this Swetnick whore, the more pissed off I become. As best as I can tell, she is representative of the worst that the female of the species has to offer, and I mean that. This twat has made a lifetime of trying to use her precious little hole to intimidate and manipulate people, and baby, I hope they throw your lying, shameless ass under the jail. GRRRRRRRRRRR Mad

Planned Parenthood is a non-profit, I believe. If they push a political agenda, would that not violate the rules that a non-profit has to follow?

Planned Parenthood receives hundreds of millions in taxpayer funding each year. I believe it should be zero.

More Avenatti BS revealed

https://dailycaller.com/2018/1...ing-words-kavanaugh/

A woman who Michael Avenatti claimed backed his client Julie Swetnick’s allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has recanted her story and is accusing Avenatti, a potential 2020 presidential hopeful, of “twisting” her words.

In an effort to bolster Swetnick’s allegations, Avenatti put NBC reporters in touch with the second woman for a phone interview on Sept. 30. He published her sworn declaration on Twitter on Oct. 2.

But according to NBC, the woman’s statements during the Sept. 30 interview were inconsistent with the declaration published by Avenatti.

Swetnick and Avenatti claimed that witnesses would back up her allegations. Under pressure to produce those witnesses, Avenatti put NBC in contact with the second woman.

In her Oct. 2 declaration, the woman said: “During the years 1981-82, I witnessed firsthand Brett Kavanaugh, together with others, ‘spike’ the ‘punch’ at house parties I attended with Quaaludes and/or grain alcohol. I understood this was being done for the purpose of making girls more likely to engage in sexual acts and less likely to say ‘No.'”

She also claimed that Kavanaugh was “overly aggressive and verbally abusive to girls. This conduct included inappropriate physical contact with girls of a sexual nature.”

But according to NBC News, the woman said in her Sept. 30 phone interview that she “didn’t ever think it was Brett” who spiked punch at parties.

The woman also told reporters that she did not know Swetnick in high school. They became friends when they were in their 30s, she said. The woman also said that, though she knew who Kavanaugh was in high school, she never saw him behave inappropriate towards girls.

Two days after Avenatti published the woman’s declaration, she told NBC that “it is incorrect that I saw Brett spike the punch. I didn’t see anyone spike the punch…I was very clear with Michael Avenatti from day one.”

Asked about the discrepancy, Avenatti lashed out at NBC’s reporters, saying that he was “disgusted” by their questions.

NBC also reports that Avenatti made inconsistent statements about the second woman after he released her declaration on Oct. 2.

Avenatti initially confirmed to the network that the woman who issued the declaration was the same who spoke to reporters on Sept. 30. But when asked about discrepancies in her stories, Avenatti told the reporters: “How about this, on background, it’s not the same woman. What are you going to do with that?”

But on Oct. 5, the woman told NBC News that she would no longer be communicating with Avenatti.

“I will definitely talk to you again and no longer Avenatti. I do not like that he twisted my words,” she said

It is unclear why NBC News did not report the discrepancies earlier. It is also unclear why Swetnick identified the second woman as a potential witness to Kavanaugh’s behavior.

The rules will not apply to PP because the commies have no morals and the Republicans have no spine.

On the previous page, in a post by feersum, there was a link to a Sen Grassley letter of 25 Oct 2018.

The letter was to Jeff Sessions and Christopher Wray to investigate lawyer Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnick.

Then NBC revealed that Avenatti had another witness who would corrobate Swetnick, except when NBC contacted her, she said Avenatti had twisted her words.

So, Sen Grassley wrote a second letter, dated 26 Oct 2018

and he asked Sessions and Wray to further investigate Avenatti about the "corroborating" witness (who actually denied what Avenatti said about her "sworn" statement)

"Simply put, the sworn statement Mr. Avenatti provided the Committee on October 2 appears to be an outright fraud."

Note: in the above link to the pdf, especially read pdf pages 9 and 10. That is what Avenatti submitted to the Judiciary Comm on 2 Oct. "outright fraud"

It would be interesting to know if the redacted part of pdf page 10 is a signature or typed name.

This unidentified "corroborating" witness may not be so innocent either. When NBC contacted her on 3 Oct, she said she had only "skimmed" the declaration.

I like at the end of this article how Avenatti is taunting Sen. Grassley. Doesn't seem too bright after what we've seen from Sen. Grassley over the past several months.

quote:
In response to the referral, Avenatti lashed out on Twitter. “How ignorant is Grassley? He keeps publicly demanding an investigation knowing full well that it will likely never happen - it is all for show. And if it does, he has placed Kavanaugh at risk of being removed from the SCOTUS. This is what happens when you never attend law school,” he wrote in a tweet.

Creepy Porn Lawyer is an attention whore, plain and simple.

He think's he can copy Trump's style of outlandish speech, but he forgets (1) Trump is successful (2) Trump was very very well known already before he entered the political fray, and (3) he represents whores.

Try as you like, whores / porn / pimps will never be attractive to main stream America (left, center, or right).
