He's the Atlanta schoolteacher who hung out with Kavanaugh and Judge in high school. Whelan had a meeting with Grassley's staff and came up with this story. Instead of denying it, Garret has gone into hiding. Rumor is he was paid generously and he has signed a letter of endorsement for Kavanaugh. Whelan has had to step down from his PR firm over it.

Good job all. I will never vote Republican again.

I read that as he put it up. Perhaps some people here had not? So BSC.

Want to know why we think Kavanaugh is guilty? Because that whole thing was a cluster of bull.

Who cooks up a huge defense like that if they are innocent? No one, that is who.

Brett Kavanaugh has steadily risen through the ranks of the judiciary over years of hard work. He's had six FBI investigations, none of which turned up anything. If these women had something to bring forward concerning him, why didn't they do so years ago? It's been asked before and none of you have an answer, just more B.S. All of a sudden, when it looks like he will be confirmed, these women come out of the woodwork. Very, very suspicious.

I mean yeah. No one would bring up anything before because he wasn’t going for SCOTUS.

And reminder: Gorusch had nothing like this because he was clean. This guy isn’t. So it’s not suspicious if you take that into consideration.

Also: FBI doesn’t investigate sex crimes unless someone reports them. Any schmuck would know that.

The point is, why didn't any of these women report their allegations as soon as Kavanaugh was nominated? And Ford's anonymous letter doesn't count. She could have come forward but chose not to. And the other women, dredging up their fuzzy, unclear memories NOW, of all times? Give us all a break. If they had true allegations against him, they could easily have reported them and had them investigated over the summer. They chose not to. Moving on...

Because they suspected they would be treated abusively if they came forward.

And they were right.

+1 A trained prosecutor will be doing her best to discredit Ford tomorrow. People have dragged a fine tooth comb through her past. What woman would WANT to do that? It's victimizing her twice.

What do you call what has been done to Kavanaugh's life?? Good grief.

Right...but his reward if he passes is that he gets a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. She gets nothing close to that. There is no equivalency.

If they'd cut ties last week they'd already have a new nom and they'd have ACB or Hardiman well on their way to confirmation.

Instead they will crash and burn on this over the next week only to have trump stew and wallow before making another selection... who knows it could be mid October before they even have a new nominee! Senators will have to be in DC voting on a SCJ instead of campaigning against the betos of the country giving up key time.

It just seems incredibly stupid and shortsighted for people given the gift of an unexpected second court nominee.

Perhaps, but why would they let an innocent man (because we *are* innocent until proven guilty, right?) take the fall? That's more important right now. He should have a chance to be heard, and not just withdraw with his tail between his legs. I think this is an important precedent for anyone accused - with no evidence to support the accusation. There must be a fair hearing. Otherwise, I could point my finger at anyone I wanted and claim they assaulted me.

Go for it. Point your fingers and accuse.

The truth is that supreme court nominees have been rejected for far less. ALL OF THEM WHO HAVE BEEN REJECTED IN THE PAST WERE REJECTED FOR LESS!

Gang rape? Seriously. Supreme court nominees MUST BE without question, without doubts. Do we expect they have the same politics as the president who nominates them? YES. Do we expect them to have open and honest financial records (K. does not)? YES. He was a crappy nominee before this, honestly. No one DESERVES a seat on the supreme court. NO ONE DESERVES IT.

Wow, simmer down. He has not been alleged to have taken part in any rapes, gang or otherwise, so you can shut that down right now. These are all allegations against him - with no corroborating witnesses. You can't simply expect people to make claims like that, 30+ years later, and be taken seriously. If you do, then you need your head examined.

He absolutely has been alleged to have taken part in a gang rape. Don't you read the news?

You may have read this in the news, but silly you -- you still take the news seriously? The allegations promoted by Avenetti do NOT allege that Kavanaugh engaged in rape, only that he was present at parties where it happened. The accuser, a college student, claims that she went to ten high school parties where gang rape was happening, but she didn't say a word. Until now.

+1
Conveniently, many posters have just jumped right ahead to "he's a rapist." Honestly, these people are frightening.

The three women all are much more credible than he is. He has lied about everything, very badly and unconvincingly.

There is no valid reason to support such an unimpressive lying asshole for the Supreme Court except blind partisanship at this point.

And much like Clarence Thomas, he will become one mean and vindictive MF'er once he is seated.

Chris Garrett apparently is the guy referred to as "Squi" on Kavanaugh's calendar, giving him rides to/from the beach and meeting with Judge and others for for "skis" (brewskis)

What's happening tomorrow is a farce. No witnesses allowed, even Mark Judge who has the potential to be an exculpatory witness. The GOP has no interest in the truth. This is a CYA exercise.

No one, not one person, has ever asked why men who were molested by Catholic priests waited so long to come forward. Just saying.

Mark Judge is drugged and being held in a safe room in Bethany Beach, Delaware by GOP jack-booted thugs from Blackwater Security.

Exactly. The day before Whelan's tweet, one of Grassley's staffers tweeted to pay attention to Whelan's feed. I already followed him and saw the whole insane thread unroll. He's an attorney and he would not have slandered Mr. Garret so boldly. It was immediately obvious he has Mr. Garret's consent. There needs to be an investigation on how much involvement Grassley and Kavanaugh had in cooking up the story. Who paid Garret? Kavanaugh spent 9 hours the day before at the White House scheming up an explanation. It's obvious he wasn't practicing his interview skills. Kavanaugh seems to be like Trump. He can't take responsibility for any mistake. IMO if he had given a heartfelt apology while admitting he sometimes drank until he blacked out in high school he wouldn't be where we are now. The small lies are going to be what sinks him. This is where K. lived in high school. His family doesn't live there any more. The incident could have happened here just as easily as Whelan's proposed house. https://www.trulia.com/p/md/bethesda/4915-jamestown-ct-bethesda-md-20816--2018884025

I can't sit by and let this go anymore. Done!!!

This whole situation is not okay. NOT OKAY.

Fully agree with you. It's madness.

I called my son and warned him to be careful spending time with women who could turn out to be unstable.
I cannot imagine having a false allegation thrown at him.

One of the small ‘s’ sad things that happens every time there is a public accusation of sexual assault is that we have to listen to women who have so fully internalized the misogyny they were taught at the knee that their instinct is to blame the women. It’s just sad.

Yeah. Or you could just tell your son to be polite, respectful, always ask for consent, and never approach a woman who is intoxicated except to help.

Sure. And then that intoxicated woman will claim he raped her the next day because he helped her back to her dorm room or gave her a ride home. There is no winning.

Serious question - Why don't parents advice their daughters to not drink? For one, it's the law - no drinking under 21 (just in case someone didn't know that) and a drunk woman attracts pervs and monsters. Is it because, parents drink at home a lot and kids try to emulate them later in life? We are non-drinkers so trying to understand..

Serious question - why don’t parents advise their sons not to drink and explain how being drunk can lead them to assault women?

Serious question - why don’t parents advise their sons that they should never have sex with a woman who has been drinking because drunk girls can’t legally consent?

Serious question - why don’t parents tell their daughters that no matter what the circumstances, if their daughter is sexually assaulted they will support her even if she was drinking or doing drugs or at a party or with boys or unsupervised?

Serious question - how can it be 2018 and people are still blaming girls for causing their own rape by drinking? This is the equivalent of saying girls who dress sexy are asking for it.

Serious question - Do you think women should have any responsibility or just men?

Men are 100% at fault when they sexually assault women. I cannot believe this needs to be stated. Disgusting.

I wonder. I read the WaPo article and he sounds really pathetic. His life fell apart because he has a conscience while a sociopath became successful.

Mark Judge will be found dead from "suicide" with two bullets in the back of his head.

Other journalists say he has left Bethany Beach and his location is not known.

[Anonymous]

Could it be...a Republican senator wth a conscience?

Sen. Susan Collins, who could determine whether Brett Kavanaugh gets a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court, raised serious concerns at a private meeting about the newest allegations of inappropriate behavior against the nominee -- and questioned why the Senate Judiciary Committee had not subpoenaed a close friend of the federal judge.

Multiple sources familiar with the private Wednesday meeting told CNN that Collins appeared unnerved by the latest allegation, citing in particular that it was a sworn statement sent to the panel, which carries with it the possibility of perjury for lying to Congress.

I agree, they had to have Garret's consent because otherwise it would fall apart as soon as anyone found him and he denied it. I am tired of being manipulated. I am tired of being lied to.

Did you see Dan Rather's thoughts? He is so eloquent.

I agree, the small lies of Kavanaugh will do him in. Again, thinking the rest of the country is stupid. Just read this and it is in a similar vein to your thoughts, although more about what kind of person he is if he lies so easily... https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2018/09/26/brett-kavanaugh-and-the-moral-ugliness-of-casual-lying/?utm_term=.7a8fed97b397

I agree with both this writer and you. The lies show he is not a decent person, and the lies will also bring him down since he has strewn them EVERYWHERE.
