      I'm surprised that an appellate judge doesn't know what the word "uncorroborated" means.https://twitter.com/evanmcmurry/status/1044979864296706048 …

      And note that Kavanaugh's statement only denies Ford's claim, not Ramirez or Swetnick's.

          Now Swetnick is offering corroboration, and Ford is, too.

          I would also note that Swetnick's could be viewed as corroboration for Ford.

          He’s ignoring Ramirez just like the committee. Why Address something that the committee is making out doesn’t exist?

          no, he made a blanket denial. It's on record. He did it b/c he knew more allegations could be made and showing any possibility of Blasey's claim, even if only partly true, would hurt his case against new victims with more serious claims, like rape.

          "Stick to the script." I understand what GOP wants this done Ahead of October 1, despicable as it is. What I don't understand is why Kavanaugh doesn't drop out. He's risking his entire career, especially if charges are brought in Maryland. Is he just another useful idiot?

          There are multiple potential witnesses to the Ramirez and Swetnick allegations. He is in more danger of being convicted of perjury from those? For Ford there’s only Judge and he’s hiding out on the beach right now.

          Can someone ask Julie Swetnick why she stood by on multiple occasions and let young girls be drugged and gang raped? And continued attending these events? Becoming "brave" the night before a SC hearing, but not to help them? These supposed multiple victims should be furious.

          Probably because he knows Grassley is not going to allow any other testimony. So no need to deny.

          Interesting. Because he knows there are a lot more potential corroborators for those claims?
