So, we now have four separate
allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh with claims of various types of
sexual abuse. These claims are all, thus far, unsubstantiated; nonetheless,
Democrats have been disingenuously claiming that they spell doom for Kavanaugh,
and that Kavanaugh should remove himself from convention. That’s absurd.
Let’s look at each allegation
in turn.
1. Christine Blasey Ford.
The first allegation came
courtesy of Christine Blasey Ford, a professor from California, who alleges
that when she was 15 and Kavanaugh was 17, she attended a party: date unknown,
location unknown, how she got there unknown. At this party, she said, were
either four boys and two girls (according to her polygraph note), or four boys
and her (according to her note to Senator Dianne Feinstein). She says that at
this party, Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge forced her into a room and
turned up the music, and that Kavanaugh forced her onto a bed, where he
attempted to take off her clothes and then placed his hand over her mouth when
she tried to scream. No other witness has verified her account. The first time
she told anyone is when she told her husband that she was abused in high school
– in 2002. The first time she mentioned Kavanaugh’s name was 2012, to her
psychiatrist. There is no corroborative evidence of any sort to back her
allegation. Both she and Democrats have been remarkably unforthcoming in
turning over materials (she won’t turn over her medical records or therapist
notes) or facilitating her testimony at a hearing. She has hired Democratic
hacks as her lawyers. Kavanaugh fully denies the charges.
2. Deborah Martinez.
The New Yorker reported Martinez’s allegations on Sunday – but the
allegations were full of holes. According to Martinez, Kavanaugh thrust his
penis in her face at a frat party at which he was drinking. But The New
Yorker piece is extraordinarily weak: according to the publication,
she was hesitant to speak publicly because “her memories contained gaps because
she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident,” and she was
“reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh’s role in the alleged incident with
certainty.” Only after “six days of carefully assessing her memories and
consulting with her attorneys” did she decide to come forward. No corroborating
witnesses have come forward. According to The New Yorker, “The
New Yorker has not confirmed with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh
was present at the party. The magazine contacted several dozen classmates of
Ramirez and Kavanaugh regarding the incident. Many did not respond to interview
requests; others declined to comment, or said they did not attend or remember
the party.” Kavanaugh, again, fully denies the charges, stating, “This is a
smear, plain and simple. I look forward to testifying on Thursday about the
truth, and defending my good name—and the reputation for character and
integrity I have spent a lifetime building—against these last-minute
allegations.”
3. Julie Swetnick.
Stormy Daniels’ lawyer and
2020 Democratic candidate Michael Avenatti brought forward Swetnick on
Wednesday. According to her sworn declaration, she saw Kavanaugh get drunk in
high school and then grope girls against their will, as well as spiking punch
with qualuudes and alcohol, and participating in a “gang rape” line at multiple
parties. Swetnick says that she went to approximately 10 parties at which such
activities took place – without saying anything, and returning to multiple
parties, apparently. She says she was victim of such a gang rape, but is
unclear as to whether Kavanaugh participated (it seems he didn’t, but she says
he was present at such parties). Avenatti refuses to answer simple questions on
her behalf, and has not made her available to testify. She says there are other
witnesses – none have come forward. Swetnick graduated high school three years
before Kavanaugh, as well – yet she was still supposedly attending high school
parties as an adult. This is the wildest allegation of the bunch, and should be
the most easily provable – and yet no proof has been offered whatsoever. The
New York Times kindly put it this way: “None of Ms. Swetnick’s claims
could be independently corroborated by The New York Times, and her lawyer,
Michael Avenatti, declined to make her available for an interview.” Some sixty
women who went to high school at the same time as Kavanaugh said they have
never heard of Swetnick. Kavanaugh stated, “That’s totally false and outrageous.
I’ve never done any such thing, known about any such thing.”
4. Anonymous.
Late on Wednesday afternoon,
NBC News reported that the Senate Judiciary Committee was inquiring about
another allegation of misconduct. They report, an anonymous woman says her
daughter’s friend was physically assaulted by Kavanaugh in the Washington, D.C.
area in 1998 while he was drunk. She states, “When they left the bar (under the
influence of alcohol) they were all shocked when Brett Kavanaugh, shoved her
friend up against the wall very aggressively and sexually. There were at least
four witnesses including my daughter.” The daughter has not come forward;
neither has the mother; neither has the friend. The media ran with the story
anyway.
Now, maybe Kavanaugh did some
of this or all of it. But we can't destroy his life based on uncorroborated
allegations without any verifiable details. In sum, we have four incidents –
all allegedly in public areas, without a single corroborating witness on the
record. No names. No dates. Nothing. No wonder Democrats want Kavanaugh to
simply step down. The last thing they want is Republicans questioning these
allegations with any level of seriousness.

Quando chegar à Suprema Corte ele farejará a grande distância o que será uma demanda legítima e legal ou uma demanda circense, politiqueira. A esquerdalha sai derrotada, não adianta arrancar as plumas e paetês!
