New Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick details parties where she says girls were drugged and raped
Source: CNBC
The lawyer Michael Avenatti on Wednesday identified another accuser of Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh, Washington resident Julie Swetnick.
Swetnick, in an affidavit posted online by Avenatti, claims that Kavanaugh, as a high school student in the early 1980s, with others spiked the drinks of girls at house parties with grain alcohol and/or drugs to "cause girls to lose inhibitions and their ability to say 'No.' "
Swetnick said these efforts by Kavanaugh and his buddy Mark 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.

(13,041 posts)it was so appalling that this was a woman saying this. She apparently doesn't see this applicable to herself or her sister, her mother, her female friends, OR her consistuents.
All i can say is KUDOS & 'Addaboy' to Avenatti. I'm glad he injected himself into this situation. We need him as an attack dog for Dems and all people who don't condone this horrific administration.

(11,885 posts)And kavanaugh's past will all be exposed , and trump and the gop knew about it all. This will make it likely the gop will lose both the House and the Senate with them helping by doing this, and trump tweeting and talking every day. Kavanaugh is a liar and very corrupt , and it'll come out he's not such a nice guy too , just like trump said about him and putin, and neither one is. No one should ever listen to The Lying King trump for his part in this. He's a serial liar and treasonous and very corrupt. Under no circumstances should any Senator vote for his becoming a Supreme Court justice, and those that still vote for him, knowing any of this has no place in OUR government. Vote these criminals out of office.

The Democratic Al Franken attackers need to step up to plate and show their faces on TV. I saw Gillibrand on msnbc yesterday.
Watch for the reich wing narrative that this is just a leftist smear campaign, and this narrative will be pushed on cable news. We shall see which narrative wins out;
1. It is a Leftist smear campaign.
2. Kavanaugh is a monster.

Sickening. She is brave coming forward, knowing the shaming she's going to get. It's so damn predictable: "What was she doing at that party?" "She was drunk" etc. As if either of those things mean it was okay to rape her.

Kavanaugh's -recent- history should be sufficient to keep him off SCOTUS.
