This report is REVEALING:

NBC News notes that Kavanaugh told the Judiciary Committee under oath that the 1st time he heard about Deborah Ramirez's allegation was in the New Yorker article. These text messages would seem to refute that timeline, if accurate.

An amazing part of the NBC Kavanaugh/Ramirez report:
Kavanaugh tried to obtain a photograph at a 1997 wedding "in order to show himself smiling alongside Ramirez 10 years after they graduated."Text messages between those Yale classmates reveal Ramirez was desperate to avoid Kav at the wedding👇

The texts between Berchem and Karen Yarasavage, both friends of Kavanaugh, suggest that the nominee was personally talking with former classmates about Ramirezs story in advance of the New Yorker article that made her allegation public. In one message, Yarasavage said Kavanaugh asked her to go on the record in his defense. Two other messages show communication between Kavanaugh's team and former classmates in advance of the story.
The texts also demonstrate that Kavanaugh and Ramirez were more socially connected than previously understood and that Ramirez was uncomfortable around Kavanaugh when they saw each other at a wedding 10 years after they graduated. Berchem's efforts also show that some potential witnesses have been unable to get important information to the FBI.

Is this a recorded Kavanaugh blackout hiding in plain sight?
