Federal rules of evidence don’t apply in Congress AFAIK (just a litigator). But even if there were parallels, Judge’s statement isn’t even a sworn declaration, while Swetnick’s is, under penalty of perjury. This whole thing is, to borrow a phrase from yesterday, a farce.

Also note that Kavanaugh was internally inconsistent about Judge, suggesting his old classmate's memoir is unreliable because of his alcoholism, but in the next breath that he's made definitive statements by email and that's all there is to it.

Yeah, probably too harsh to say "because of his alcoholism," though he connects the "untruthfulness" to Judge's path toward sobriety. Larger point is it's marketed as a memoir and Kavanaugh flat out contradicts that, which is weird.pic.twitter.com/0ErGzyJJ6s

But it's not fiction, is the point. It's always been understood to be a memoir.https://books.google.com/books/about/Wasted.html?id=u3wMAAAACAAJ …

He might say Judge is wrong about stuff in it, but it's not a fictionalized story; it's Judge's memories.

He changed names, a common practice in memoirs. Although that's a poorly disguised one.

Judges's wasn't a sworn statement?

Judge doesn’t have a career to lose if it’s found he lied?

Swetnick says she attended ten parties where girls were gang-raped. No one with a brain in his head believes this.

Good point. No, the GOP has Majority so their words, their proof means everything. Nothing else matters.
