Grassley refers Avenatti and Swetnick to Justice for a criminal probe
washingtonpost.com ^ | October 25, 2018 | Seung Min Kim and Elise Viebeck

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) on Thursday referred lawyer Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnick — one of the women who accused now-Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh of misconduct during his confirmation proceedings — to the Department of Justice for a criminal probe, alleging that they made “materially false” statements to Grassley’s committee as it investigated the allegations.

Swetnick said in a September affidavit that Kavanaugh attended a 1982 house party during which she says she was gang raped — an accusation Kavanaugh vehemently denied and said was from the “Twilight Zone.” Grassley said he is asking the Justice Department to look into whether Swetnick and Avenatti potentially conspired to give materially false statements to Congress and obstruct a congressional investigation.

Going to be fun to watch Avenatti be both bankrupt AND disbarred in a couple of months. You asked for it, tough guy.

Which comes first...do they make a deal, or do they meet with a fatal accident?

That’s good, but I’d rather see McCabe, Comey, Rosenstein and Brennan referred for prosecution

If Sessions can’t understand the importance of prosecuting Swetnick and Avenatti to the fullest, then he needs to get out now

If the Kav were not a SCJ he’d could sue Ballsy, Sweathog and Avanetti into obliteration. And win. An open and shut case of libel.

Hire a good attorney, John!

Oh, that’s right...looks like it’ll be a public defender. Pay attention when the cops cite your Miranda Warning...

“If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish.”

Yeah, CPL has had a bad two weeks.

I haven’t watched Tucker Carlson lately, but I’m sure he’s in schadenfreude mode now.

Heard Katz and Bromwich are available. They like pro bono work.

Where is Jeff Sessions?

Hasn’t Congress already made at least four criminal referrals to the DOJ?

Anybody seen any indictments?

Spit.

They could conditionally go through Avenatti’s files in camera for that, attorney-client privilege notwithstanding.

Sessions is too busy packing up his office.
He will be “retiring” after the mid-terms to
spend more time with his family.

She should be. I hope she is. I hope they kick her off the committee and out of the Senate just for starters. But hope springs eternal.
