Kavanaugh hires attorney amid sexual assault allegations: report
The Hill ^ | September 17, 2018 | MICHAEL BURKE

Posted on 09/17/2018 9:23:15 AM PDT by maggief

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has hired an attorney amid fresh allegations of sexual misconduct while he was in high school, according to CNN.

Citing multiple sources, CNN reported that Kavanaugh has hired Beth Wilkinson, a founding partner of Wilkinson Walsh + Eskovitz, a trial and litigation law firm in Washington, D.C.

Wilkinson represents clients before the Department of Justice, Congress and other government agencies, according to her bio page. Kavanaugh said Monday that he is willing to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee against Christine Blasey Ford, the woman bringing the allegation forward.

Wilkinson did not immediately return a phone call from The Hill requesting comment.

In addition to her career as a defense lawyer, Wilkinson is also known for successfully prosecuting Oklahoma City bombers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols for their roles in the April 1995 bombing that left 168 people dead.

Oh good, now we’re gonna find out about the real Christine Blasey Ford and what she’s been up to for the last 35 years. She’s starting to sound like Chrissie Christina, ol’ E Buzz Millers sidekick.

You are so correct. A reputation is like an egg: very easy to break and impossible to repair. I am observing this whole fiasco with a really heavy heart.

Heavy heart...exactly how I am feeling, gloryblaze. I have a heavy heart, am so saddened, dismayed, angry, upset, feel hurt, feel demoralized, feel extremely sad and hurt for Judge Kavanaugh and his family.

The lows humanity will go to serve their selfish ambition and all that they are after in this life.

Basic human instinct can go so awry that it’s past the line of decency and into an area of satanic servitude. How else can one explain where a group of people (how many dems are there in congress), will all vote in solid unanimous pact, against the good and for what is bad/wrong. when that solid pact want power bad enough to destroy a man..not just one man, but everyone that is near this man...when they have lost their minds on doing anything lawful, anything for our country and for the people.. when they are only working for themselves.. by ANY means they can think up to take out those who are in their way...it’s not normal.. it’s not honest and trustworthy..it’s hellish..it’s satanic!

This is a war..many have named it..it’s a war between the dark side and the United States of America, which was Blessed by God .. we have gone away from what made us great..and it is destruction, if continued.
Obama opened that pit!! he was the one who, in the end, showed what has been going on!

This side can bring up all that she has in her craw.. not the Judge... but conservatives .. and Judge’s mother who was the judge against her mother some years ago... plus she hates Trump and is a liberal baby killer via abortions.. she does not want Judge Kavanaugh on the SC bench... so she is doing this...it doesn’t even matter if anything happened that many years ago among youth...she never complained until the man TRUMP nominated, is a conservative and they believe they will lose their baby death machine.

Surely they will bring up her bias and her anger ... and to me, that disqualifies her for any kind of truth.

Only if he is not confirmed and thus can demonstrate damages, significant damages.

Kavanaugh is a brilliant attorney and scholar, I would not want to be on the receiving end of one of his lawsuits.

Couldn’t it be argued that the false, public accusation itself is damage? It will affect his family and there is no doubt about that.

Prior connection with military intelligence? Hmmm- perhaps they already had an interest in Di-Fi and monitored?

George Soros, The DNC, and a myriad other Communist organizations that will do anything to tear our country down and make it a third-world hellhole.
