What bothers you more: that you know being involved in a bar fight is clearly problematic for someone hoping to uphold the law, or that he was a complete wimp and only threw some ice in said bar fight? He looks bad on multiple levels. |
It's the latter. Kavanaugh is a puss. |
I've only seen the NBC reports and people talking about the NBC report. The critical part is that Kavanaugh swore that he hadn't heard about the Ramirez allegations until September 23 and, yet, the texts seem to show that he was preparing a defense to those allegations in July. "The texts between Berchem and Karen Yarasavage, both friends of Kavanaugh, suggest that the nominee was personally talking with former classmates about Ramirez’s story in advance of the New Yorker article that made her allegation public. In one message, Yarasavage said Kavanaugh asked her to go on the record in his defense. Two other messages show communication between Kavanaugh's team and former classmates in advance of the story. . . . In a series of texts before the publication of the New Yorker story, Yarasavage wrote that she had been in contact with “Brett's guy,” and also with “Brett,” who wanted her to go on the record to refute Ramirez. According to Berchem, Yarasavage also told her friend that she turned over a copy of the wedding party photo to Kavanaugh, writing in a text: “I had to send it to Brett’s team too.” . . . Further, the texts show Kavanaugh may need to be questioned about how far back he anticipated that Ramirez would air allegations against him. Berchem says in her memo that Kavanaugh “and/or” his friends “may have initiated an anticipatory narrative” as early as July to “conceal or discredit” Ramirez. Kavanaugh told the Senate Judiciary Committee under oath that the first time he heard of Ramirez’s allegation was in the Sept. 23 article in The New Yorker." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/mutual-friend-ramirez-kavanaugh-anxious-come-forward-evidence-n915566 |

https://slate.com/technology/2018/10/brett-kavanaugh-problematic-drinking-hearing.html "The defiance, the casual references to “liking beer,” the mentioning of a friend who has a real problem, the insistence that he was the “Ralph King” because he has a “delicate stomach,” the turning the question on the questioner—all are tactics of the person with alcoholism who has been cornered." |
As of 1pm FBI still hadn't gotten back to her. She's tried to talk to both headquarters and a field office. This report from today says FBI investigation is STILL limited despite what Trump has said. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-02/broader-fbi-probe-into-kavanaugh-said-to-still-face-some-limits?utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_medium=social&utm_content=politics&utm_source=twitter&cmpid%3D=socialflow-twitter-politics |
Plus the anger he showed when it was suggested that maybe he had a drinking problem - ie: his responses to Whitehouse and Klobuchar. As someone with an alcoholic father, that was VERY familiar to me (and probably to Amy Klobuchar also). |
There’s a difference beteeen her precise allegations and what he might have heard about rumours. I’ve read both transcripts. |
Kavanaugh can lie under oath. No one will stop him. No one cares about the truth any more. Case in point: Trump. White men can lie all they want with no consequences. There is no one to do anything. |
The problem is not that he threw ice. The problem is the growing evidence that he was not forthright and downright lied in his UNDER OATH testimony. He tried to sell us a virginal choir boy act who "just" likes beer. On the weekends. Not to the point of excess. HE IS LYING. |
Therapist notes? |
There is no one to call him on it. Lying under oath these days is as common as anything. Nothing will happen! |
Can you demonstrate your claims by citing specific testimony? |
Yes, he was one of the major Kavanaugh character witness WH tried to promote yesterday. One Yale classmate of Kavanaugh told last week that Chris and Brett had barged in to someone's room to embarrass a woman. So they are co-harasser. |
Yes. Was listening to CSPAN radio in my car and several Republican Senators were reiterating this. That the investigation is "almost over" and the vote will be "soon." They sounded audibly angry and rattled. |
