(4th Accuser) Senate probing new allegation of misconduct against Kavanaugh
NBC ^

Posted on 09/26/2018 4:07:10 PM PDT by springwater13

The Senate Judiciary Committee is inquiring about at least one additional allegation of misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, according to a letter obtained by NBC News and multiple people familiar with the process.

Republican Senate investigators asked Kavanaugh about the new complaint, NBC News has learned, during a phone call on Tuesday between Kavanaugh and committee staff. Sources told NBC News that Kavanaugh denied the allegation in the letter during the call and a spokesman for the committee declined to comment.

A Republican aide on the committee said the conversation took place shortly after noon. While Republican staff posed questions to Kavanaugh, their Democratic counterparts were also on the call but did not ask any questions.

According to an anonymous complaint sent to Republican Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, Kavanaugh physically assaulted a woman he socialized with in the Washington, D.C., area in 1998 while he was inebriated.

The sender of the complaint described an evening involving her own daughter, Kavanaugh and several friends in 1998.

“When they left the bar (under the influence of alcohol) they were all shocked when Brett Kavanaugh, shoved her friend up against the wall very aggressively and sexually.”

“There were at least four witnesses including my daughter.” The writer of the letter provided no names but said the alleged victim was still traumatized and had decided to remain anonymous herself.

Guilt by accusation, guilt by association, guilt by quantity of accusations. What's next?

If the rats 🐀 had their way, he would stand in front of a firing squad, but I am sure that’s what they wish for all of us.

This kind of Cr*p will just get worse if we allow any democrats to get elected this fall. Texans, don't fall for “Beto,” he is just a smooth talking slime ball who will try to take us back to the Obama era.

Anybody can write a letter alleging sexual misconduct and the media and libs will run with it because the goal is to defeat him at all cost. A good portion of the public take these allegations as face value and assume it to be true without a critical eye because the media said it or their Senator they voted for said it

Yup.

A lot of posters blame me for telling the truth.

How do decent people like us stop something like this? As things stand now, only a miracle can save Kavanaugh.

You need to become a DEM ( if you aren’t one now ) and get lost!

I think he’s finished. All of the weight of this... a leak is turning into a flood and however it turns out, Kavanaugh is damaged goods.

Finished? Damaged goods? Are you believing the accusers who have been organized and orchestrated by the Dems to prevent Kavanaugh's confirmation? Does this mean he loses his current federal judge job as well.

Sorry, but the Reps need to rally around Kavanaugh or they will be destroyed in the midterms. Let the vote be taken and then we will see who is friend or foe. Unsubstantiated allegations are just that. Kavanaugh is not damaged goods. He has undergone 6 FBI background checks. The hearing is over. These phony, last minute allegations should not be allowed to destroy a good man and his family.

People are thinking, “why does trouble follow him around?”

People are thinking, there is no level too low for the Democrats to stoop. I myself am now furious. Am I voting in the Fall? You’re damn right I’m voting.

I’ve had it with these motherf*ng snakes. They didn’t accept the result of the election in 2016. They have accepted it for 2 years. They need a refresher on voter anger in 2018. And their actions show they cannot be allowed to gain power. Ever.

hey get lost

we don’t need your damn nonsense on top of the loons on the left.

the only pattern is the left trying to smear people with allegations and no evidence. It won’t go away with people like you around or the GOP caving.

It goes away when you don’t allow BULLIES to run the show.

I hope everyone realizes there is a nearly infinite train of potential accusers waiting in the wings.

Why? Not because their allegations are true, it is just because they can. This may be a new drinking game.

Four FAKE accusations that even liberals know can’t be true. It’s truly insane at this point.

Senators say they’ve gotten multiple alleged incidents, ranging in credibility, brought to their staffs attention since Ford went public with her allegation.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), recalling how his staff found out about Deborah Ramirez’s allegation, told reporters that “people call with rumors.”

“Some of these are completely incredible and the staff dismisses it,” he said. “I asked the same thing [about the Ramirez allegation], ‘Why did you tell me this?’ They said, ‘Do you know how many calls we get?’”

“You’ve got to be careful because it is it not above someone to plant some stupid idea, then have us say it, and have it blow up in our face,” Durbin continued
.

Durbin FOR ONCE is actually making some sense.

I’m sure Kavanaugh is factually and legally innocent but that doesn’t matter.

Doesn't matter to whom? Are you f'ing nuts. We must just accept that an innocent man is destroyed by false allegations? What country are we living in if it is populated by people like you. Kavanaugh is willing to fight and will not withdraw his name. The President fully supports him. Let the process finish and we will see how many senators belong in the sewer.

Perception matters more than the facts.

No one cares about the facts. Kavanaugh is in the fight of his life and its not about the facts.

I do wish him all the best.
