When did the New Yorker contact Kavanaugh for comment on the Ramirez story? If these text messages came after that contact, then Kavanaugh’s answer could be essentially true. In that scenario, he really would’ve heard about it first from the New Yorker, just prior to publication.

In the paragraph above the highlighted text, it says the text messages are from “as early as July” - long before the New Yorker had the story.

do we know when farrow first got on the story?
-
He said ‘in the period...’ and stopped, I think it’s pretty clear he meant ‘in the period between the first time I was before this committee and now’ as he changes his tact and says ‘in The New Yorker.’ Implying this is all new to him. It’s a lie. Perjury.

you got that spot in the transcript handy? I don't remember the "in the period" line.
-
‘In the period since.’ Implying since the last time he was in front of the committee.pic.twitter.com/VWyolxFu0y

If I’m reading that wrongly, or misinterpreting it, some one, please correct me. But, that seems pretty obvious to me. And if these messages go back to July, the only card he’ll have is ‘people acting on my behalf without my knowledge,’ and that’s not very convincing.

I can't believe I'm posting an NR article, but it's what I have handy. I would seem that he corrected himself on this point later in his testimony.https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/another-shoddy-perjury-claim/ …

wasn’t that one of the questions where he hesitated/stumbled at first? i feel like i remember that.

yeah, here's him stumbling to answerhttps://twitter.com/MikeDelMoro/status/1046883824624386048 …

exactly, there we go.

This is cool and all but you’ve seen no texts. So the video of him saying this proves nothing?
-
unlike Rachel Mitchell, I don’t purport to have enough evidence when I clearly don’t in order to make any conclusions or “prove” anything. it’s just a video.

You know what’s been depressing to me about this whole thing? That his ego and hubris cloud his judgement so completely that he doesn’t see how this is going to destroy his family.
-
He is so filled with white elite male entitlement that he just never thought he'd be caught, betrayed, or made to account for himself. That's why he cried. Life is so unfair. This type thinks accountability = injustice.

JULY? As in, virtually as soon as he was nominated???
-
One wonders what Kavanaugh is thinking… How much of the sexual assaults does he actually remember clearly, versus just have some vague queasy sense of? If it’s the former, then he’s a sociopath. For the sake of his kids, I hope it’s the latter.

I concede that it’s quite possible that he has never committed assault at all on any level.
