[Breaking News] Kavanaugh Classmate Named in Letter Strongly Denies Allegations of Misconduct
Weekly Standard ^ | September 14, 2018 | John McCormick

Posted on 09/14/2018 2:15:40 PM PDT by sitetest

On Friday morning, The New Yorker's Jane Mayer and Ronan Farrow reported on a letter alleging possible sexual misconduct by Brett Kavanaugh while he was a high-school student. According to the New Yorker:

"The woman, who has asked not to be identified, first approached Democratic lawmakers in July, shortly after Trump nominated Kavanaugh. The allegation dates back to the early nineteen-eighties, when Kavanaugh was a high-school student at Georgetown Preparatory School, in Bethesda, Maryland, and the woman attended a nearby high school. In the letter, the woman alleged that, during an encounter at a party, Kavanaugh held her down, and that he attempted to force himself on her. She claimed in the letter that Kavanaugh and a classmate of his, both of whom had been drinking, turned up music that was playing in the room to conceal the sound of her protests, and that Kavanaugh covered her mouth with his hand. She was able to free herself. [...] In a statement, Kavanaugh said, “I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time.”

Kavanaugh’s classmate said of the woman’s allegation, “I have no recollection of that.”

The Kavanaugh classmate quoted in the New Yorker is Mark Judge, a writer in Washington, D.C. Judge spoke to THE WEEKLY STANDARD Friday afternoon, strongly denying that any such incident ever occurred. "It's just absolutely nuts. I never saw Brett act that way," Judge told TWS.

Not a single guy back then asked my permission to make his move. Wanted or unwanted, guys did try. Usually in appropriate situations like dates or parties etc. like Kavenaugh.

I could testify with very good detail of interiors of buildings etc to things I experienced as a child. Statutes have run out but I’d be pretty believable in court even now. And I’d speak up should he be nominated to the Supreme Court, with my name etc.

A good threshold for any of these accusations would be that the accuser either files a police report, or submits a declaration under oath. A lot of accusations go away when the accuser puts themselves at risk for prosecution.

“The RINOs, pressured by chief RINO McConnell, have agreed with the ‘rats to postpone the vote until next Thursday to give them more time to destroy the judge.”

Actually, it is automatic that the minority party gets a one-week continuance upon request, but they only get that once.

But that was pre Trump

Still, no claims of continued support from Senate R's or D's
on either the committee or from the full Senate.
The ball is in President Trump's court, to ask or not ask for a report from the FBI on the veracity of the charge.
Chairman Grassley is still calling for a vote on the 20th.
The Judiciary Committee is 11R-10D, and Sens. Sasse and Flake are very wobbly.
If there are not loud, clear endorsements for Kavanaugh, on or before Sunday, Kavanaugh may not have the votes.

Yes, they have been teaching us this for quite some time now.

Just seems like a wise policy to adhere to.

Do not give them the opportunity.

I was expecting something like this, after the hearings, which were loud and offensive, and they did not lay a glove om Kavanaugh.
And I knew they would do something. It was too easy.
The Dems had the accusation for several months before passing it to Sen Feinstein. Manifestly, they did not ‘sit’ on it. no way.
The DNC apparatchiks vetted, confirmed, fine-tuned the story better, in my opinion than the inept FBI leadership.
After the hearings, when it became apparent that Kavanaugh would pass out of committee and be confirmed, they could play this well-crafted card.
So what will Trump do...ask for an FBI report or not ask?
Time now is very short, and a Presidential decision is imperative.
Voting Senators would like to know, basically because, Screw this Kavanaugh guy, what about My political future?
Sen Hatch has given some tepid remarks that could be interpreted as supporting Kavanaugh.
I expected stronger support.
‘tepid’ does not cut it this week.

They don’t have to be facts to try him in their courts. Innuendo will do just fine for them. After all, it is character assassination they are after. All that is needed for that is a lie told by someone without character.

There are better ways for a cheerleader to get the QB's attention, rather than hectoring him.

Don't you have cats to feed?

Imma just leave this here.

I've seen 50-year-old, overweight women, playfully batting the arm of a tall, chiseled 30-year-old guy. And 30-year-old mothers-of-three practically drape themselves over a 45-year-old, fit, two-day-growth-of-beard project manager.

"Not only vote, but bring two or three friends and neighbors with you!"

YES! the sensible reaction to these games by the libtard left.

What I am concerned about is that in the future, and it is probably already occurring, highly qualified jurists will simply pass on any opportunity to be put through the DemonRat meat grinder otherwise known as the confirmation hearing? This could be a signal to some that they simply won't put their families and friends through the Federal judicial confirmation quagmire? Is that the long term goal perhaps of these America hating socialists?

I’m sorry I was spending the evening with my husband, so I did not see this cartoon.
how does this prove that women like to be held down??? It does not. It proves women can be shallow- sure, but so are men.
You and the Lord of the Rings have a great weekend. Bye.
