    I guess this makes clear why Judge's lawyer sent him to hide out at the beach.https://twitter.com/MichaelAvenatti/status/1044960428730843136 …

        i guess Kavanaugh's mention of "BEACH WEEK" on his calendar isn't exactly helpful now

        Yup. The calendar really really really doesn't help him at all. I wonder whether that was Ed Whelan's idea.

        A lot of people are commenting on Mr. Avenatti's involvement, but they aren't as credible as you. What do you think of his involvement in all of this?

        I think there is a victim who has made a statement at great personal risk and that's where the emphasis should be.

        Also of note, the sworn affidavit was made yesterday, prior to the release of the calendars. This is pretty open and shut.

        Saw an important legal comment, that a sworn affidavit will lead to criminal liability if you perjure yourself. Hence the likelihood that this accuser, who would stand to lose her entire career, is unlikely to lie.

        I cannot imagine anyone attaching their name to such a thing on a whim or a fancy. Even Monica Lewinsky wanted her name kept out of it, until Starr’s team busted her in Linda Tripp’s hotel room.

        I bet it was more than his lawyer. No one can convince me this nothing short of a MASSIVE COVER-UP by the Republicans.

        Yes, Avennati is not reliable, also not so sure if teenagers had ready access to, or knowledge of, date rape drugs back then - Quaaludes were all that I think might have been around then... admittedly Judge...is the type for them https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_rape_drug …

        Bad argument when you consider Bill Cosby in the 70s and 80s was also using date rape drugs then. It was a known thing.

        I agree it was a thing, but they were I think more difficult to get I could of course be wrong there, and as we well know - current quality data on sex crimes, including date rape drugs , is very hard to find Not least as, so many women are scared to come forward
