Senate Democrats believed they had Brett Kavanaugh on the ropes.
Christine Blasey Ford had just revealed her identity and was prepared to testify in public, detailing her allegations that Kavanaugh had tried to sexual assault her more than three decades ago. On top of that, a New Yorker article had just revealed that a second woman, Deborah Ramirez, was accusing Kavanaugh of exposing his genitals to her while they were college students.
Then came Michael Avenatti.
The combative lawyer, who represents Stormy Daniels and has been a ubiquitous presence on cable television, revealed a stunning new allegation: A woman, Julie Swetnick, said she had witnessed the Supreme Court nominee attending more than 10 house parties between 1981 and 1983 where Kavanaugh and his friend, Mark Judge, were present. At some of those parties, she alleged, Kavanaugh was "fondling and grabbing girls without their consent" and, along with others, spiking drinks to force girls to lose their inhibitions.
She also alleged that at some parties, boys lined up by a bedroom to "gang-rape" incapacitated girls and claimed those in the lineup included Kavanaugh and Judge. But she did not say Kavanaugh or Judge assaulted the girls in the bedroom, nor did she provide the names of corroborating witnesses.
Kavanaugh furiously denied the allegations. But the eye-popping nature of those claims suddenly gave Republicans an opportunity to shift the narrative away from Ford's allegations and make a broader case that the growing accusations of sexual misconduct amounted to an orchestrated Democratic smear campaign, something Sen. Susan Collins, the swing GOP vote, cited herself when announcing she'd be the decisive vote to support Kavanaugh's confirmation.

But if they have to throw someone under the bus, I can't think of a better snake...
Everybody should send him a thank you card.
When you sleep with pigs, you smell like one.

I had no idea Avenetti was a man made of straw?
Send him a used condom.
They eat up their own bs.
All Avenatti did was become the personification of how absurd, stupid, and wrong the whole ordeal was.
Monday would be a good day to hand out Indictments for Ford, Her Lawyers, and EVERY Public Servant that Conspired with them to put forth False Testimony before the US Senate.
I knew they would say that eventually.
Should have posted, but no one here would call me clairvoyant. It’s simply too obvious.
Ford’s allegations were just as vacuous as Avenatti’s… just duller.
Avenatti was a Trump plant. Te-he
He’s in, BK
they didn’t have a flippin case at all. Schmucks.
Please let Avenatti run for president!
...Democrats say Avenatti undercut their case against Kavanaugh...
I guess Avenatti’s democrat Presidential aspirations just went down the toilet.
the blame game begins.. didn’t take long, did it?
awwwwwwwwwwww I guess Creepy Porn Lawyer doesn’t have a good chance in 2020 LOL LOL
