so if journalists can shield themselves from wrongdoing and blatantly and deliberately trying to destroy someone by using the First Amendment, why cannot we do the same using the Second?

what makes them so special?

NYT later added that the "victim" has said she didn't recall anything about such an incident.

That was only after Mollie Hemingway wrote her article yesterday

Kavanaugh worked for Ken Starr in the 1990s.

Democrat attorney Max Stier is a Yale classmate of Kavanaugh


they were “pitted” against each other during the Whitewater investigation in the 1990s when Kavanaugh worked for Independent Counsel Ken Starr. Stier defended President Bill Clinton


https://thefederalist.com/2019...t-remember-incident/

New York Times reporters Robin Pogebrin and Kate Kelly are out with a new book that attempts to buttress the unsubstantiated claims deployed last year against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

“The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation” is neither a look at the education of Brett Kavanaugh nor an investigation. They admit they found no evidence to support the claims made by Christine Blasey Ford or Debbie Ramirez, although they say their “gut reaction” to the allegations is that they are true. They generously concede that their “gut” tells them that Michael Avenatti client Julie Swetnick’s claims are not true, citing the lack of corroboration.

The “lack of corroboration” standard was unevenly held to by the authors. Blasey Ford’s four witnesses all denied knowledge of the party at which her alleged assault took place. Ramirez went from telling Ronan Farrow “I don’t have any stories about Brett Kavanaugh and sexual misconduct,” to telling friends of an incident for which she “couldn’t be sure” Kavanaugh was involved, to now being the centerpiece of the Pogebrin and Kelly book. Ramirez also had no eyewitness support for her story that allegedly took place at a well-attended party, even after friendly media outlets contacted some 75 classmates trying to find corroboration. Both women had the support of many friends and activists, however.

The only supposedly new claim made in the book isn’t new and comes from Democrat attorney Max Stier, a Yale classmate of Kavanaugh’s with whom he has a long and contentious history. In the words of the Yale Daily News, they were “pitted” against each other during the Whitewater investigation in the 1990s when Kavanaugh worked for Independent Counsel Ken Starr. Stier defended President Bill Clinton, whose legal troubles began when a woman accused him of exposing himself to her in hotel room she had been brought to. Clinton later settled with the woman for $850,000 and, due to a contempt of court citation for misleading testimony, ended up losing his law license for five years. Stier worked closely with David Kendall, who went on to defend Hillary Clinton against allegations of illegally handling classified information. Kavanaugh’s reference to his opponents being motivated by “revenge on behalf of the Clintons” met with befuddlement by liberal media, despite the surprisingly large number of Clinton-affiliated attorneys who kept popping up during his confirmation hearings.

In any case, Stier’s claim, which even two Democratic senators’ offices didn’t find particularly worthwhile, was that he had seen an inebriated Kavanaugh, pants-down, at a freshman-year party. Stier’s claim to the staffers, we’re told, was that other people at the party put Kavanaugh’s genitalia into the hands of a classmate. Another unnamed person alleged said that he or she might have remembered hearing that the female student had transferred out of her college because of Kavanaugh, “though exactly why was unclear.”

The reporters, who describe Democrats in glowing terms and Republicans otherwise, say that Stier is a “respected thought leader” in the defense of the federal bureaucracy. They don’t mention his history of working for the Clintons. As for the victim? They say she “has refused to discuss the incident, though several of her friends said she does not recall it.”

So to summarize, the only new claim in the new book is that a Democratic attorney told two senators that he saw an incident where a third party allegedly did something to Kavanaugh and the young woman. In their book, the authors are upset that this claim didn’t lead to a massive FBI investigation, although they don’t explain why they think it should have.

Pogebrin and Kelly left the victim’s denial out of their New York Times story. It is unclear why the reporters and editors allowed the story to be published without this salient fact that they conceded, albeit briefly, in their own book.

They are just providing cover for the idiots from that democrat president debate, especially Beto's were gonna come take your guns. They want that out of the news. They have nothing. They want our guns, they want a recession, they want unemployment up, they want to raise taxes, they want to increase regulations, they want endless open borders, they want to eliminate ICE, they want to give out "free" Medicaid to all, they want to hand out money to people who don't work, they want trillions to save the world from climate, they want to be dictators...I could go with their on with all their crazy ideas. Unfortunately, as stupid as they all are - these people are dangerous.

This.^^^^^^^^^ If you aren't committed to the rule of law and due process, and simply use these foundations of our country as a tool (just like hiding behind the First Amendment to libel someone, knowing your allegations are BS) for personal (political) advancement, you are NOT an American.

Rush said this morning that for the NYT it’s mission accomplished. They got the story out there, the later retraction doesn’t weaken the story among the Leftists, and I believe, only Klobucher among the Dem candidates has counseled to wait-and-see before calling for impeachment; the others are looking for a rope.

Rush also made reference to this POS who lied about Romney not paying his taxes. “Romney lost, didn’t he.” He may be more responsible than anyone for the anything goes tactics of the Leftists in this country.

Harry Reid. “Romney didn’t win, did he”

You are nothing but trash. Go ahead, look in the mirror. Admire yourself. Listen to the accolades from others. Go ahead. None of it matters, because you are nothing but human trash- the lowest of the low.
Reminds me of Gunnery Sgt. Hartman:

"You are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on earth. You are not even human fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized pieces of amphibian SHIT!"

This is EXACTLY how I feel about these media assholes and that's giving these sumbitches a lot of credit...apologies to amphibians! All these low-lifes do is stand around in groups and circle-jerk each other, showering themselves with praise, accolades, and awards, spouting off how great they are. FOAD, you "woke" MF'ers!!!

I'm right there with you, Para. The problem, as binky pointed out, is that the LEFT has been allowed to go on unchecked and unabashedly like this with ZERO consequence. Until heads are freaking cracked and split open with hickory shampoo, it will go on and on and on. Our "JustUs" Department is about as useful as tits on a boar hog right now. But if I...EYEEEEE...should do something, they'd be on me like stank on shit. Yup...so angry some days that I could eat nails and spit rivets... Mad Mad

I know Kavaaugh wants to take the high road... but he needs to sue these liars for everything they have. It'll never stop until there's serious pushback.

In addition, every time they push these lies, they minimize and harm those people who are actually real survivors of abuse. Who should also have standing to sue.

Claire Wolfe once said, “America is at that awkward stage; it's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.” However I feel that we are quickly approaching the political “point of no return”, and that Election 2020 will be it.

I'm angry and many of you are angry and it is entirely justified and frankly, overdue. I've tried to hold my temper with these maggots and their incessant law-breaking and tantrums but this is the final straw. Utterly shameless, after the microscopic scrutiny to which Justice Kavanaugh was subjected, to try the very same slimy shit AGAIN!! Beyond the pale. Unforgivable, now and for all time. Unforgivable and I'll tell you- someday, there will be a reckoning. Mad

The NYT is taking a licking. Piers Morgan:

“… WHAT???

Let me get this absolutely straight: the supposedly most prestigious newspaper in America published an unbelievably damaging allegation against a Supreme Court justice and neglected to mention that the supposed victim of this ‘sexual assault’ doesn’t remember it ever happening?

And the New York Times KNEW this fact but decided not to include it in their report?

So they deliberately withheld from their readers a staggeringly important piece of information that would have led the vast majority of those readers to have a very different perception as to the veracity of this story?

This is the very worst kind of indefensible guttersnipe journalism; a trumped-up smear with no credible basis of evidence to support it, designed to destroy the reputation of one of America’s highest ranking lawmakers, and possibly cost him his job…”

Much more.

I could not agree more, and in lesser countries, the good people, the law-abiding people would be marching in the streets. Marching in the streets! The maggots perpetrating this hoax should be grateful that they live in a nation that doesn't have citizens who pull political frauds and their abettors from their chambers and offices and immolate them in a public square when their crimes become too much for the people to bear.

Isn't impeachment for some sort of crime or wrongdoing WHILE IN OFFICE?

Even if he did whip his dick out 30+ years ago at a drunken party, they can't impeach a person for it, right?

These people are BEYOND desperate. They are becoming dangerous.

Barr was not AG during the hearings, but Sen. Grassley needs to send him a letter reminding him of the criminal referrals and asking about their status. No consequences = no changes.

Yes the left is desperate, and eventually it will get violent. Of that I have NO doubt. All you need to do is crack a history book. Tyrants do not abide by elections, never have. Now in a civilized society with a functioning "rule of law" these things are taken care of through due process. Unfortunately we do not have a functioning rule of law, not at that level. 2016 proved that the left does not accept elections. In fact all the elections in this country are doing is prolonging the inevitable. No, if history has taught us one thing is that elections and laws do not stop tyranny. And when those two options are completely played out there is only one option left. That's exactly where we are headed.
