Impressive.

Attorney Michael Avenatti added to the storm of sexual misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh on Sunday, claiming he has “significant evidence” that the Supreme Court nominee participated in sexual misconduct in high school.

In an email to Mike Davis, the chief counsel for nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee, Avenatti said he had evidence that at house parties in the early 1980s, Kavanaugh, his friend Mark Judge, and others plied women with alcohol and drugs “in order to allow a ‘train’ of men to subsequently gang rape them.”

Avenatti did not identify any witnesses or disclose more details about the alleged incidents. He tweeted a screenshot of the email Sunday evening after announcing he represented a woman with “credible information” about Kavanaugh and Judge.

Avenatti elaborated to Politico later on Sunday that he represents a group of people, including one victim and multiple witnesses, who can corroborate allegations involving Kavanaugh and Judge.

Also on Sunday, The New Yorker published an allegation from Deborah Ramirez, a former Yale University classmate of Kavanaugh’s, who claimed Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a dorm-room party during the 1983-84 school year. Avenatti clarified that his client was not Ramirez.

The two allegations come less than a week before Christine Blasey Ford is set to testify in open court about her claim that Kavanaugh attempted to rape her while they were in high school. Ford said Judge was a witness to the incident.

Kavanaugh has denied both Ramirez and Ford’s allegations.

Avenatti, who also represents adult film actress Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Donald Trump, said he “will be demanding the opportunity to present testimony” to the Senate Judicial Committee, which is overseeing Kavanaugh’s nomination proceedings.

quote:

In a statement to the New Yorker, Kavanaugh wrote, "This alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen. The people who knew me then know that this did not happen, and have said so.

quote:

Kavanaugh's former roommate said he found the allegation believable.

“Is it believable that she was alone with a wolfy group of guys who thought it was funny to sexually torment a girl like Debbie?" James Roche, the former roommate, said. "Yeah, definitely. Is it believable that Kavanaugh was one of them? Yes.”

Dit wordt met de dag erger. Ik snap echt niet waarom ze Kavanaugh niet gewoon intrekken. Op deze manier is er straks ook geen tijd meer over voor een alternatief voor de verkiezingen.

Dit en dit...even door de GOP bril bekeken: je wil een aartsconservatief benoemen in het SC, het moet toch niet zoveel uitmaken wie? Hij is toch vast niet de enige op de shortlist? Bij Kavanaugh begint de Rio de Caca nu goed te stromen, dus inderdaad; waarom trekken ze die nominatie niet in?

Is er uberhaupt nog tijd voor een nieuwe nominatie en stemming voor de midterms? Kavanaugh werd op 9 juli genomineerd.

Avenatti's getuige is niet deze Ramirez, er is dus nog een derde (MSNBC)

En Kavanaugh ontkent alles. Als ik hem was zou ik een grondig FBI-onderzoek eisen!

Misschien niet voor de verkiezingen maar je hebt ook nog de lame duck periode van begin november tot begin januari. Maar hoe langer dit door ettert, hoe kleiner de kans is dat er nog genoeg tijd is voor een andere nominatie. Er zijn al wel kandidaten die al helemaal doorgelicht zijn omdat ze tot de laatste fase kwamen, o.a. Barrett. Dat scheelt een hoop tijd. En vergeet niet dat de Republikeinen het proces controleren.

A Timeline for the SCOTUS Confirmation Crisis

SPOILER

Mid-October is also about the time when Republicans will have to decide whether the Senate will have enough time to consider an alternative to Kavanaugh before the end of this Congress. And that’s a big, big decision given the possibility that Democrats could take control of the Senate and thus the judicial confirmation process in the next Congress that will be sworn in on January 20. So if Kavanaugh’s confirmation is still hanging fire two or three weeks from now, there could be a move to dump him and move on quickly with someone else from Trump’s pre-vetted SCOTUS list (a good bet at that point would be a woman like Amy Coney Barrett).

4) November 6: The midterms arrive: One thing the new allegations against Kavanaugh might possibly mean is that his confirmation — or alternatively, the confirmation of someone else if his nomination is withdrawn — could become a campaign issue in close Senate races, or at least a factor stimulating turnout among each party’s more ideological “base.” But whether or not that happens, the Senate results on November 6 will determine if Donald Trump’s party still controls the judicial nominating process during the last half of his presidential term. Thanks to a wildly pro-Republican Senate landscape this year, the odds remain better than average that the GOP will maintain its grip on the upper chamber, even if a Democratic “wave” takes over the House. But with a current margin of 51/49 in the Senate, Republicans are justifiably nervous. And the House results could indirectly affect the SCOTUS process as well, if only because a big Democratic wave might make Senate Republicans even more nervous about 2020, while threatening Trump’s grip on power.

5) November 2018 to January: A likely lame-duck session of Congress. If, as appears almost certain, Democrats make significant gains in the House, then Republicans are likely to convene a so-called “lame-duck session” of the current Congress to get as much done as they can with their current margins of control. If Kavanaugh is not confirmed by November 6 and Democrats win back the Senate, then there will most definitely be a frenzied Republican effort to confirm him or some other Trump SCOTUS during the lame-duck session.

Would there be enough time for that to happen? Yes, if we are talking about Kavanaugh, who was nominated in July. But if the whole process is starting over — say, with Amy Coney Barrett — just before or immediately after the midterms, it could be very tight.

Wat moet de FBI er eigenlijk precies mee? Alles is verjaard en meer dan he said she said zal het ook niet worden (tenzij iemand brieven heeft bewaard ofzo). Of is het onderdeel van het vetting proces van een justice?
