Right. So either she witnessed others being similarly abused and did nothing (she is an accomplice), or she was "abused" and kept coming back for more, or more likely, this is all just a big old lie.


A paid participant?

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

She says she has a "public trust" active clearance

Confidential Access
Information considered confidential refers to names, addresses, birth dates and personal identification numbers, such as Social Security numbers

Public trust clearance is all that's necessary for what the federal government considers confidential information. Some use "public trust" and "confidential" interchangeably. Public trust clearance is the lowest level of security clearance.

Employees of the Internal Revenue Service or the Social Security Administration generally have public trust security clearance due to the nature of their duties in handling taxpayers' personally identifiable information.

Of course she will say her indebtedness has nothing to do with her credibility....

But, she's probably being paid and the indebtedness and associated problems will go away...

You would think that with all these allegations that have only come out in the past couple of weeks, the 6 FBI background checks on Kavanaugh would've found something nefarious.

Another thought occurred to me (and naturally I ran to tell you all first):

If you had a an explosive criminal allegation that could tank a SCOTUS nominee, would you go to someone like Avenatti to help you present it? Seems like the most certain way to cast doubt on your claims as a partisan stunt.

If I believed what I was saying and wanted the Senate and country to take me seriously, I think I would pursue it differently. I wouldn't run to hire the most controversial, bombastic, anti-Trump, liberal, progressive presidential contending ambulance chaser I could find. To me that is the first of many indications that this is nonsense.

There are hundreds of fine lawyers in DC who are connected in the political scene, but she decided that Avenatti was the right guy. Questionable for sure.

This new way of doing things sure portends an exciting future!

Why, just think about the 2020 election. Whomever the Democrats nominate - I will have been victimized by him/her. I won't be able to remember where, when, or even how - but, nonetheless, I will have been a victim of him/her.

I don't like to travel, so everyone will have to come to my location to prove their candidate is innocent. (Because now, with this new paradigm, the candidate will be guilty until he/she can prove his/her innocence.)

The candidate will have to testify first, so I will be afforded the opportunity to create a rebuttal against whatever he/she says.

I will have friends who will claim they were victimized, too - I mean, why the Hell not?

Yes, indeed - an exciting future is at hand!



I found what you said riveting.

Of course it is nonsense. But the left DOES NOT CARE. Period. IF there were ANYTHING like this in Kavanaugh's history it would have come out at some point in his public life.

The left HATES this country. Hates it. And they WILL NOT STOP. History proves that. We need to stop judging the left by our moral code and stop being surprised by what they are capable of. They are capable of ANYTHING necessary to achieve their goals.

At this point I am pretty sure it will not. Democrats demanded halting proceeding any further with Brett Kavanaugh after second accuser with her baseless claims and that was ignored by calling it what is was. Some may not like Grassley and McDonnell but they are not stupid people and are actually shrewd politicians. They darn well know that this will not stop and the longer they wait to have a confirmation vote on Brett Kavanaugh the worse the chances are that he will get confirmed. Also time is quickly running out for the opportunity to try to get another nominee through the confirmation process by the end of the year just in case Brett Kavanaugh is not confirmed.

DEMs are pushing hard for an FBI investigation.

The instant that would start, they would be screaming they couldn't nominate someone under FBI investigation.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The committee (someone ?) stupidly released Kavanuagh's calendar. It showed a week at Beach Week.

Swetnick's affadivit says she witnessed "such conduct" during "Beach Week".

(same game that Glenn Simpson plays)

Another thing that really bothers me is how much are we going to see of this tactic during the mid term elections? Let's say similar smears are done against key republican senators in close races, like Texas, where an accuser comes out a week before election day and alleges sexual misconduct?

^^^^ This. The Republicans need to say enough with the kangaroo court tactics and vote. Tell the Dems that they will have plenty of time later to pursue impeachment if any of their bullshit warrants it. Which it won't. Time for hardball. Fuck em.

Sure, the first two accusers have no details and now the crazy carnival lawyer is claiming to have a third accuser with details... Sure. What a coincidence since the first two accusers stories are a laughable and falling apart. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.

They went too far with this new allegation. It's beyond made up. There's no way someone remembers anything so well from parties in the 80's.

More importantly, it's now blatantly obvious to everyone how ridiculous this all is. They jumped the shark.

Yep, just vote. I for one am completely tired of this BS. Vote Kavanaugh onto SCOTUS and start prepping for RBG to keel over.

Exactly.
If they can't confirm Brett Kavanaugh the Democrats will essentially have a veto on any Trump nominee. Even moreso if they win seats in the midterms. Trump will then have to "negotiate" a nominee with them before hand and that means another liberal like Anthony Kennedy will be nominated after they sunk Bork.
It's crucial that Republicans confirm Brett Kavanaugh.

This is all devolving into a Kafkaesque like escapade.

As Kavanaugh recently said in reply to the third outrageous accusation, this is the twilight zone.

I would not be surprised if this was all very well orchestrated and set up to fire in sequence, 1,2,3

there may be a 4,5,6...

That's why it is vital to shoot some of these stories down.
