Seven Questions About the Avenatti/Swetnick Story
National Review ^ | September 26, 2018 | Charles C. W. Cooke

Posted on 09/26/2018 12:01:31 PM PDT by reaganaut1

Some questions raised by the charges brought by Michael Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnick:

1. Given the seriousness of these allegations, why did Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnick decline to go directly to the police?

2. Likewise, why did Avenatti and Swetnick bypass the press? Did anyone in the press look into this story? What did they find? The New York Times confirms that “none of Ms. Swetnick’s claims could be independently corroborated by The New York Times, and her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, declined to make her available for an interview.” Why?

3. Where are the witnesses? The charge is of gang rape. Leave aside the question of whether Brett Kavanaugh was involved — and forget for a moment that we’re debating whether he should be on the Supreme Court — surely there are a whole host of victims, perpetrators, and witnesses to this monstrous crime. Where are they?

4. Is is not a little strange that there are only two details provided, and that they are happen to be public knowledge already? The two names given are Mark Judge’s and Brett Kavanaugh’s. The time given is “BEACH WEEK,” which is listed on the calendar that Brett Kavanaugh released this morning. Why is there nothing new?

5. According to the New York Times, Swetnick left school in 1980, and then went on to college. Swetnick claims that she “attended at least 10 house parties in the Washington area from 1981 to 1983 where the two were present.” That means that, at the time of the alleged incident(s), she was between 18 and 20-years-old at the least, and that Kavanaugh and Judge were between 16 and 18 at the most. Why was she, an adult, attending high-school parties with minors?

6. Kavanaugh says that he’s never heard of the accuser. Is there anyone who can testify to the contrary? If so, how did they meet? What relationship did Kavanaugh have with her school, Gaithersburg High? Swetnick claims that she “met Judge Kavanaugh and Mr. Judge in 1980 or 1981.” Why did she, an 18- or 19-year-old, start hanging out with Kavanaugh and Judge, who were 15 or 16, depending on the year?

7. Why would an adult go repeatedly to parties at which minors were being gang raped, and, having figured out what was going on, resolve only to “avoid the punch”? Did Ms. Swetnick tell anybody what she had seen? Why did she keep going back?

Let me get this straight: 10 or so total parties with multiple gang rapes and not one victim (or parent) files a police report? And not 1 reported pregnancy? Are we supposed to believe all these teens are practicing safe sex at the 100% level? No way!

She claims she, as an adult, went to parties where kids were drugging and raping other kids and never reported any of it to anybody. And she kept going back to watch more kids fill up on alcohol and drugs and rape each other.

And Creepy Porn Lawyer says this adult is a hero.

If a woman is gang raped, she tries to get away. At the end, she goes to the hospital. She calls the police. Some victims become pregnant.
Produce hospital records! Produce police records!

None? then explain why after a serial rape there was no injury requiring them to go to the hospital!

All seven questions are excellent rebuttals to this ridiculous accusation. Why didn’t the “brilliant attorney” Avenatti think of them before he went public with this? Is he that stupid not to see how this newest claim only demolishes it and the previous ones as nothing more than political lies and smear jobs??? I guess when you have Schumer and DiFi egging you on, nothing is too outrageous as long as Trump gets stopped and stomped. How I despise these evil people!

It seems that not only did she go back several times, but then became either a victim or participant in the acts herself. None of this makes sense.

As an adult why didn’t she report to police? Unless promiscuous was consensual by party goers?

I don’t know how he ever had time for gang rapes while going to New York with mam and dad, mowing the lawn, going to church camp, getting hair cuts. You are right, he was adorable

Sounds like a case can be made against her for statutory rape or at least contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

If this turns out to not be a prank on Avenatti (and I think it is obvious he was), then perhaps a case can be made that Swetnick was the one who arranged the rape parties and made money off them? She may be the one investigated and prosecuted!

Surely county tax records would have the names of the homeowners from 1981-1983. I would like to know who the parents/home-owners were at the time that were hosting these alleged parties.

"They used the BEACH WEEK on Kavanaugh’s calendar to make up this BS"

My guess, in reality it's, "Bitch Week" and Swetnick was a "Madam" who whored out services to rich kids.

It's at least as believable as anything coming from Avenatti,

They used the BEACH WEEK on Kavanaugh’s calendar to make up this BS..that is why he should have held onto the calendar til tomorrow, an element of surprise...

I don't know. Seems rather disingenuous to use the same wording now. But, perhaps, if she referenced Kavanaugh in the affidavit using this wording before he brought out the calendar, it might seem more plausible. IMO.

I think she may come from money.

Her father appears to still be alive. He has an impressive resume

Her mother has passed away and she also had a very impressive resume. As of 2007 when she passed she didn’t have any grandchildren.

In the meantime Julie lives in a lovely DC apartment building.

Just vote. If K doesn’t make it, nominate someone even more conservative.
