Check out what Patrick Leahy's been tweeting today about Kavanaugh's lying

https://twitter.com/SenatorLeahy


I'm just posting the link to his twitter account -- there's more than one thread about Kavanaugh's "veracity problem" there, too much to copy all the links.

Leahy is setting out a very solid case against Kavanaugh.


On second thought, I'll quote one tweet providing a good summary:





BOTTOM LINE: It’s not just “Bart O’Kavanaugh,” or minimizing his contemporaneous drinking or misogyny in his yearbook. On issues big and small, anytime Judge Kavanaugh is faced with an incriminating or difficult question under oath, he cannot be trusted to tell the truth.

I mean. If that is not a threat what is? I am an attorney and if I spoke like that in court I would be brought up on ethics charges. This man is a total disgrace.

I don't know how this low life git as far as he did with his history, but it's finally come back to haunt him. Of course, he's still alive. Can you imagine if he was black and did all the things he's accused of?

Well yeah since ONE LIE under oath already disqualifies him immediately.
Why are we even talking about this? The guy is toast. Stick a fork in him, he's done.

Little jokey joke about Leahy drinking. Insidious little jokey joke. You know how Trump does it. Shit-eating grin and all.

The whole, "I know them too well. And you know what? They are not angels.” He was alluding to Senator Leahy. He is the biggest 2nd grader I have ever met in my life! When presented with a grab bag of facts, he will either say, "Fake news", or "But this person over here does it too". I would also hazard a guess that his examples have been proven wrong, time after time as well.

There must be more recent things we don't know. He is probably someone who can be easily blackmailed. I haven't heard this said.

BUT IT'S FUCKING PERJURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS. A. FUCKING. CRIME.

Please, please please grow a fucking spine and call "not trusted to tell the truth"....what it actually is..:

PERJURY. A FUCKING CRIME.

Jeebus fucking Koresch I hate politics. This motherfucking lowlife is going to be on the SC for the next 40 years and we're dancing around "untruths".

HE. COMMITTED. A. FUCKING. CRIME. Its called "perjury", Look it up, Leahy. Maybe you were absent that day in law school....

So sorry to the community. I apologize for my rant. But the Nazification of my country has me torn to shreads inside. I cannot stomach the blatant hypocrisy and fascism any longer.
