Avenatti releases affidavit from woman who says Kavanaugh was 'present' as she was drugged, raped
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A woman has alleged via high-profile lawyer Michael Avenatti that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was "present" while she was gang-raped by a number of boys. The allegation, from Julie Swetnick, a former student at Gaithersburg High School in Maryland, was that she was drugged by what she thought was Quaaludes and unable to fight off boys raping her in 1982. She alleges in a written declaration that Kavanaugh and Mark Judge would spike the punch at house parties in 1981 and 1982 to get girls to lose their inhibitions and ability to say no. She also alleges that Kavanaugh and Judge would line up with other boys waiting for their "turn" with a girl inside the room. Christine Blasey Ford alleges that Kavanaugh tried to sexually assault her at a high-school party with Judge in the room; Judge says he has no recollection and Kavanaugh has denied that. Ford is scheduled to testify on Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Avenatti is pissed.
I am glad we have someone on the other side who fights .
In a sworn declaration, Swetnick — a Washington, D.C., resident — said she was a “victim of one of these ‘gang’ or ‘train’ rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present” at a party in Washington D.C., in approximately 1982.
“During the incident, I was incapacitated without my consent and unable to fight off the boys raping me,” she wrote, noting that she shared what happened with “at least two other people” shortly after the incident. “I believe I was drugged using Quaaludes or something similar placed in what I was drinking.”
Swetnick said she first met Kavanaugh and Judge, a classmate of Kavanaugh’s who came to the nominee’s defense, around 1980-1981. She described the two as “extremely close friends” who were “joined at the hip.”
She said she attended “well over ten house parties” from 1981-1983. Between 1981-1982, she said at these parties she began to notice Judge, Kavanaugh and others would attempt to “‘spike’ the ‘punch’ at house parties I attended with drugs and/or grain alcohol so as to cause girls to lose their inhibitions and their ability to say ‘No.’”
Kavanaugh and Judge, she said, would “‘target’ particular girls … it was usually a girl that was especially vulnerable because she was alone at the party or shy.” She said she has a “firm recollection” of seeing boys ― including Judge and Kavanaugh ― “lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting for their ‘turn’ with a girl inside the room.”
HuffPost has not independently corroborated these claims.
Everything Avanatti has predicted has happened... Just sayin...
The guy who recklessly sticks his dick into any woman who he can incapacitate, is the guy who pro-lifers are pinning their hopes on. Oh, the irony.
Avenatti says the woman is ready to take a lie detector test about her allegations.
I'm not sure Kavanaugh's nomination will survive today, let alone tomorrow.
Really, these delaying tactics are getting ridiculous. With the me too movement out in full force a very long time it would have come out long before now. It is not like Kavanaugh hasn't held prominent positions before this. They just don't want him to have a seat on the SC.
I don't want Kavanaugh on the bench for legitimate reasons; his defense of enhanced interrogation techniques is more than enough. If Democrats argued simply for that I would support them; but this side show is complete and utter BS.
He is going to be confirmed. All the left, and their more than willing political dupes, will accomplish is dividing the country even further. Putin must be laughing his ass off at the US. He doesn't have to do anything- we are our own worst enemy.
As for Avenatti, glad to see the left is willing to back someone based only on being Anti Trump. No other qualifications needed. In fact, qualifications are a detriment these days. If Avenatti is the Dems offering next POTUS election I will have no problem going 3rd party again.
It all started with the death of Scalia. Someone else was president then.
No, he won't. The stink is too big now, and too many female voters are watching this.
The Republicans know they have a huge problem.
Are you a Trump supporter?
Do you believe Trump tells the truth?
Do you believe Trump is a good representative of the American people?
Avenatti has been effective in ridiculing and diminishing the asshole we have leading this country. It's a dirty and even sometimes ludicrous job but someone's gotta do it.
Kavanaugh was not going to be voted down on the basis of "enhanced interrogation" allegations. Not in a million years.
Gullible , stupid and sometimes racist people voted trump into office and now we have a full blown political war going on. Let him resign tomorrow morning and then we can begin to work our way back toward something more calm and normal.
Along with just about every other country after Trump did his comedy routine in front of the U.N. members.
I suspect there will never be a vote on Kavanaugh. He will withdraw his name sometime in the next few days. McConnell may be scum but he's not stupid.
He's screwed.
"No soupreme for you!"
