These are questions any investigator or lawyer would ask Julie Swetnick that will just break her allegations:
1) If Kavanaugh was a member of a violent rape gang, why didn't that fact turn up during any of the several FBI background investigations he has already been subjected to? And why didn't Swetnik ever contact the FBI or any other law enforcement agency about the criminal behavior of a federal judge?
2) Swetnik says she witnessed Kavanaugh "grabbing," fondling," and "grinding against girls," all "without their consent." Certainly, fondling and grinding are common occurrences at alcohol-fueled high school parties. But she says this was done against the wishes of the girls. How does she know that? If she saw Kavanaugh engaged in intimate physical activity with girls at a party, did she assume that there was no consent, or did she have some solid reason for coming to that conclusion? She never clarifies this point in her testimony.
3) Swetnik makes a point of saying that this kind of behavior happened during Beach Week in Ocean City, Maryland. This is interesting because Kavanaugh, hours before Swetnik's testimony was published, released his 1982 calendars which show that he was at Beach Week. Is it just a coincidence that the calendar was released and then a few hours later these accusations surface which specifically mentions something on the calendar?
4) Swetnick says she "became aware" of efforts by Kavanaugh to "spike the punch" at parties in order to drug women. How did she become aware of this? Did she see it? Was she told about it? "Became aware" is an oddly vague way to phrase such a startling accusation.
5) Swetnick alleges that she was "gang raped" at one of these parties. She says Kavanaugh was "present." Did he commit the assault? Was he in the room? Or just in the house? And if he was in the house, how did she know he was in the house? And if he was in the house, did he know about the gang rape? How does she know he knew? What does "present" mean, and, again, why was it phrased so vaguely? If he committed an assault, she would probably say "Kavanaugh assaulted me." If he was in the room and involved in any way, she would probably stipulate that. But "present" seems to leave itself open to many interpretations. Why?
6) Swetnick says she witnessed boys standing in a line by doors waiting to rape women. How does she know that this is why they were waiting in line? I have been to plenty of parties in my day and never once in my life seen a line of men waiting patiently to rape a woman. Yet Swetnick alleges that this was some sort of common occurrence. Is it possible that she misinterpreted what she saw? What is more likely -- that Swetnick is misinterpreting or exaggerating, or that gang rape was an utterly commonplace, and even organized, event among high school students in 1980's Maryland?
instead of going to a porn political lawyer, why didn't she go to the Maryland police? oohh the timing!!....LOL
Sorry couldn't rep you again....very well stated though.
I wonder if any Democrats in the House or Senate will change parties over this surreally despicable conduct by their Democrat party leaders. Do they really want to be personally associated and identified with this blatantly dishonest smear mongering?
Joe Manchin perhaps? It will be a complete disgrace for any of them that don't.
Just curious. How come all of you liberals who are so concerned about him attending some frat parties weren't bothered when Ted Kennedy left a woman to DIE in a car that went over a bridge?

Judge Kavanaugh tried to portray himself as a choir boy that goes to church and a honorable family. Kavanaugh is like the average Republican, he is a hypocrite trying to portray a wholesome squeaky clean image. Kavanaugh probably will be confirmed, but why the rush during his conformation hearings?
Ahhhhh yes, the left has their new buzz word out there....they all must have gotten the memo all at once...
I remember quite a few college kids attending high school parties when I was in high school. They were usually the younger college students. A lot of them still had friends that were a year or two behind them. It is definitely not unusual to see.
I agree. It was not usual during the summer or xmas break to see college kids at HS parties. However, it was usually the college boys that attended, the girls usually hung out with older crowds and used fake ID's to get into bars.
Folks need to ask themselves, why is Trump so hard pressed to appoint Kavanaugh. Let's see
1. Kavanaugh is the only judge on the record stating a president should not be indicted, given Trump is in bed with Putin.
2. Get rid of Rosenstein so the investigation of Russian collusion can "paused".
3. Ready to fire Sessions since he recused himself so he can hire another attorney general.
4. Reverse Roe vs Wade and gay marriage
Trump is compromised! This isn't new with Kavanaugh. It's a paper trail of evidence since all of the people that are willing to turn including Cohen and Manafort and give Mueller evidence. It's obvious what Trump is trying to accomplish here. Yet, Trump continues to scream witch hunt! No, Mr. President, you are compromised and Mueller is coming for you!
Those same reasons are why folks need to ask themselves why never Trumpers would lie to keep him from being appointed. Goes both ways.
If this is true Kavanaugh deserves a public apology from aventti.
BREAKING: Congressional sources say new Kavanaugh accuser Swetnick can offer no eyewitness or other evidence to show the SCOTUS nominee participated in any alleged "gang rape" or forced himself on girls, and that she only personally witnessed him drinking "excessively" at parties

OK then. Surely she is not going to be invited to testify before the US Senate about that. So then, the show must go on. Thursday or bust.
