Kavanaugh: New accusations are “ridiculous and from the Twilight Zone” (Updates)
“I don’t know who this is and this never happened.”
Yet another accuser has stepped forward. But this one isn’t even accusing Kavanaugh of doing anything to her. Julie Swetnick claims Kavanaugh was part of a group of boys who sexually assaulted girls at high school parties.
Swetnick’s claims, as reported by NBC:
During the years of 1981 and 1982 she said she learned of efforts by Kavanaugh, his friend Mark Judge and others “to spike the drinks of girls at house parties I attended with grain alcohol and/or drugs so as to cause girls to lose inhibitions and their ability to say ‘No.’ ”
Certain girls were targeted by those boys, and “it was usually a girl that was especially vulnerable because she was alone at the party or shy.”
Swetnick said these efforts by Kavanaugh and his buddy Judge were done so the girls “could then be ‘gang raped’ in a side room or bedroom by a ‘train’ of numerous boys.”
“I have a firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting for their ‘turn’ with a girl inside the room. These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh,” Swetnick said.
She also said in her affidavit sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee that in approximately 1982 “I became the victim of one of these ‘gang’ or ‘train’ rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present.”
Swetnick has retained the services of fame-lusting porn lawyer, Michael Avenatti, who is demanding an FBI investigation.
Below is my correspondence to Mr. Davis of moments ago, together with a sworn declaration from my client. We demand an immediate FBI investigation into the allegations. Under no circumstances should Brett Kavanaugh be confirmed absent a full and complete investigation. pic.twitter.com/QHbHBbbfbE

Swetnick has not accused Kavanaugh of assaulting her, though Avenatti won’t admit to that exactly.

Avenatti is on The View right now and was asked if his client is accusing Kavanaugh of sexual assault on her.
Avenatti dodges and doesn’t answer the question.

What Swetnick doesn’t say begs more questions:
From Law and Crime:
What Swetnick does not say, however, is also important. She doesn’t say how she knows about Kavanaugh and Judge allegedly spiking the punch. She does not say that Kavanaugh was the one who spiked her drink. She does not say when her alleged rape took place, simply saying that it was “In approximately 1982,” the same year that Kavanaugh is alleged to have assaulted Christine Blasey Ford. She also does not say that Kavanaugh himself raped her or did anything to her, or did anything to anyone else.
Another good question:
if Swetnick witnessed all of these horrible things taking place at these beach parties, why the hell did she continue going to them? over 10 parties?

The NYT couldn’t corroborate her claims and it doesn’t help that Avenatti won’t make her available for an interview.
NEW YORK TIMES: "None of Ms. Swetnick’s claims could be independently corroborated by The New York Times, and her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, declined to make her available for an interview."https://t.co/x3kUrCOMdH

Kavanaugh responds:
Report from The Daily Wire:
This is ridiculous and from the twilight zone,” Kavanaugh said in a statement. “I don’t know who this is and this never happened.
Trump tweets:
Avenatti is a third rate lawyer who is good at making false accusations, like he did on me and like he is now doing on Judge Brett Kavanaugh. He is just looking for attention and doesn’t want people to look at his past record and relationships – a total low-life!

Are we done yet?
BREAKING: Congressional sources say new Kavanaugh accuser Swetnick can offer no eyewitness or other evidence to show the SCOTUS nominee participated in any alleged “gang rape” or forced himself on girls, and that she only personally witnessed him drinking “excessively” at parties
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) September 26, 2018
Do we have a timeline issue?
So to summarize claims:
Swetnick graduated High School in 1980.
In 1982, as a college student, she was attending high-school parties where druggings & gang rapes occurred with regularity.
She went back to those parties 10 times.
She is just now reporting this, 37 years later.

60, yes 6-0, classmates and classmates of sister schools are signing a letter saying they don’t remember these parties nor do they have any memory of Swetnick
60 (!) men & women who attended Georgetown Prep or sister schools who knew Brett Kavanaugh well sign letter calling the Swetnick claims "nonsense."
Say they don't know Swetnick, never met Swetnick, never say parties like this.

I’m not sure Democrats appreciate the damage they’re doing by pretending hearsay amounts to a credible accusation. It’s a dangerous path they’ve chosen.
But if there’s any consolation here, Democrat desperation level is currently sitting at “trot out skeezy porn lawyer.” So there’s that.
