Today, Avenatti <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MichaelAvenatti\/status\/1044960428730843136\" target=\"_blank\">released an affidavit<\/a> from his client, a woman named Julie Swetnick, who says she attended parties with Kavanaugh as a high school student. The behavior Swetnick describes Kavanaugh, his friend Mark Judge and other boys engaging in ranges from the distasteful to the horrific\u2026\\<\/p>\n<p>\u2026Swetnick alleges that she attended \u201cwell over ten house parties \u2026 where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present,\u201d and that she witnessed Kavanaugh both \u201c\u2018grinding\u2019 against girls, and attempting to remove or shift girls\u2019 clothing to expose private body parts\u201d and being verbally abusive toward them. She describes him as a \u201cmean drunk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is consistent with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PeterKauffmann\/status\/1044384650767020033\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\">the account<\/a> of Kavanaugh\u2019s freshman roommate at Yale University, who said in a statement, \u201calthough Brett was normally reserved, he was a notably heavy drinker, even by the standards of the time, and that he became aggressive and belligerent when he was very drunk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then comes the most explosive part of Swetnick\u2019s affidavit. She says it was known that Judge, Kavanaugh and others would spike the punch at these parties with grain alcohol or drugs to make girls inebriated, and that the boys, including Kavanaugh, would \u201c\u2018target\u2019 particular girls so they could be taken advantage of; it was usually a girl that was especially vulnerable because she was alone at the party or shy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This echoes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/news\/news-desk\/senate-democrats-investigate-a-new-allegation-of-sexual-misconduct-from-the-supreme-court-nominee-brett-kavanaughs-college-years-deborah-ramirez\" target=\"_blank\">the New Yorker\u2019s account<\/a> of Deborah Ramirez, a college classmate of Kavanaugh\u2019s who was described by others as similarly vulnerable when she got to Yale, someone who felt a little out of place among the sons and daughters of the elite.<\/p>\n<p>Swetnick goes on:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be \u2018gang raped\u2019 in a side room or bedroom by a \u2018train\u2019 of numerous boys. I have a firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms and many of these parties waiting for their \u2018turn\u2019 with a girl inside the room. These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n<p>In approximately 1982, I became the victim of one of these \u2018gang\u2019 or \u2018train\u2019 rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present. Shortly after the incident, I shared what had transpired with at least two other people. During the incident, I was incapacitated without my consent and unable to fight off the boys raping me. I believe I was drugged using Quaaludes or something similar placed in what I was drinking.\u201d&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Inserted from &lt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/plum-line\/wp\/2018\/09\/26\/explosive-new-allegations-against-kavanaugh-demand-a-full-investigation-now\/\" target=\"_blank\">Washington Post<\/a>&gt;<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Here&#8217;s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BDLlYvhs2bo\" target=\"_blank\">initial report<\/a> from MSNBC.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/BDLlYvhs2bo?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">And here <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hPfLj_QVyzY\" target=\"_blank\">Avenatti&#8217;s explanation of the timing<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/hPfLj_QVyzY?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Republicans caused the delay.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Republicans want to cram a vote through the Judiciary Committee on Friday.&#160; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/politics\/index.ssf\/2018\/09\/merkley_to_seek_court_injuncti.html\" target=\"_blank\">Jeff Merkley [D-OR] is asking a federal judge for an injunction to stop the process<\/a>, because the Republican Reich is preventing advice and consent.&#160; Oregon leads the way.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">If I can get a live video feed for tomorrow&#8217;s hearing, I will.<\/font><\/p>\n<h1 align=\"center\"><font color=\"#0000ff\"><font style=\"font-weight: bold\">RESIST!!<\/font><\/font><\/h1>\n<h1 align=\"center\"><font color=\"#0000ff\"><font style=\"font-weight: bold\">VOTE BLUE!!<\/font><\/font><\/h1>\n<h1 align=\"center\"><font color=\"#0000ff\"><font style=\"font-weight: bold\">41 DAYS!!<\/font><\/font><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First it was just Christine Blasey Ford, and Republicans said that the could not hold up the confirmation of Pervert Kavanookie, based on one lone accuser.&#160; Then came Deborah Ramirez, and she did not deserve to heard, over the choir boy who was a virgin for years afterward, and who never took a drink.&#160; Now <a href='https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/2018\/09\/26\/worst-yet\/' class='excerpt-more'>[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","category-5-id","post-seq-1","post-parity-odd","meta-position-corners","fix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33826\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
