Avenatti: New Kavanaugh accuser '100 percent' prepared to testify before Senate Judiciary Committee

Attorney Michael Avenatti said Wednesday that a woman he represents, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of enabling sexual assault, is "100 percent" prepared to testify about her claims before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

"She wants an FBI investigation to be launched immediately. She is prepared to meet with the FBI, disclose everything she knows, disclose additional witnesses," Avenatti said on MSNBC, referring to his client, Julie Swetnick.

Swetnick alleged in a signed declaration made public Wednesday that Kavanaugh and others attempted to intoxicate girls at parties in the 1980s so they could be "gang raped," and that Kavanaugh was present during a "gang rape" in which she was the victim.

"The allegations in this declaration are shocking, they are also detailed, and my client stands behind them 100 percent," Avenatti said on MSNBC.

"My client has been issued a number of security clearances, fully vetted and she is an honest and courageous woman," he added.

The Senate Judiciary Committee said in a statement that lawyers for the panel are reviewing Swetnick's claims.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Swetnick wrote in her declaration that she has held a number of government jobs, including with the Department of Defense and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). She is the third woman to accuse Kavanaugh of some form of sexual misconduct.

Christine Blasey Ford alleged earlier this month that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and groped her during a high school party in the 1980s. She and Kavanaugh are set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday about her claims. Kavanaugh said Monday on Fox that he wants the opportunity to be heard.

Deborah Ramirez went public on Sunday with her allegation that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party during his freshman year at Yale, also in the 1980s.

Kavanaugh has denied the claims from Ford and Ramirez, calling them "smears" and vowing he will not withdraw his nomination.

President Trump and some Republicans have attacked the credibility of the women accusing Kavanaugh, suggesting they are part of an organized effort by Democrats to undermine Kavanaugh's nomination and questioning why the women waited to come forward.

Trump said Tuesday that Ramirez in particular "has nothing," noting that she has admitted she was drunk during the alleged incident.

Avenatti, who has expressed aspirations to run for president in 2020, on Wednesday warned Trump and Republicans against trying similar tactics on Swetnick.

"I’m going to caution Donald Trump, Brett Kavanaugh, [Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck] Grassley (R-Iowa) and others: If they try to come after my client or engage in some smear campaign, they better pack a lunch, because we’re going to respond two-fold," Avenatti said.

"We’re going to respond double as it relates to force," he continued. "So they better be very careful before they start spewing nonsense and trying to call my client a liar."

Supposedly a grad from 1980 Gaithersburg High. No senior named Julie in the yearbook.

how do you know?

What is her maiden name?

[Blood of Tyrants]

So SHE had direct knowledge of criminal behavior while it was occurring and did nothing? Doesn’t that make her an accessory to the crime?

[Stentor]

She will now get a go-fund-me account to pay that off and then some.

If the judge ever decides to ask for financial help in suing Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa for defamation, the numbers will be epic.

[Stentor]

Something tells me that Mr. Judge was badly behaved and Kavanagh was his friend.

Does Something live in a corner in your closet?

[pgkdan]

WHERE did you see that shes balck, single and has 10 kids!! I KNOW THOSE ARE LIES!

Avenatti posted her picture on Twitter. She's not black.

she is an honest and courageous woman

If she really was honest and courageous, she would have called the police 36 years ago after she witnessed the first rape.

Elaine: Brett Kavanaugh molested me on February 14th, in the year two thousand and sixteen.

Peter Venkman: Valentine's Day. Bummer. And you're sure of this, Elaine?

Elaine: As I told my husband, it was in the Paramus Holiday Inn, I was having a drink at the bar, alone, and Brett Kavanaugh approached me. He started talking to me. He bought me a drink, and then I think he must have used some kind of a ray or a mind control device because he forced me to follow him to his room and that's where he molested me.

Peter Venkman: So Brett Kavanaugh had a room at the Holiday Inn, Paramus?

Elaine: It could have been a room on his spaceship made to look like the hotel. I can't be sure about that, Peter.

Dear Penthouse Forum,
I never thought I would be writing to you but I have to confess when I was a 22 year old I used to go to high school parties with my Mom and watch other girls get gang banged. At one party I even saw Elvis, Jim Morrison and Brett Kavanaugh telling jokes around the punch bowl. I thought it was a lot of laughs but now I joined #MeToo and am woke How can I get the FBI to investigate Brett Kavanaugh again?

How many and specifically which RATs in Congress have passed six detailed FBI investigations?

Avenatti: My client is as genuine as Stormy Daniels’ boobs.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The sad thing about this whole Avenatti spectacle is that it owes its genesis to the way President Trump's client-attorney privilege with Cohen was violated by the Star Chamber. After that it unleashed a literal traveling circus as Avenatti and Daniels trouped around the country for roadshows and one-night stands.

I've never seen a human dripping with so much moral sewage as Avenatti. He is bubbling font of turbid effluent.

Would a respected Yale grad think I need to contact Creepy Porn Lawyer Avenatti to present my case before the US Senate?

I am having a hard time beliving that one.

[OldeGoat]

The statement was that no one named “Julie” is to be found in the 1980 yearbook. Her maiden name and her (if) married given name would still be “Julie”. Her surname might have changed, but her given (first) name would be the same. This really is not rocket science!

[snarkytart]

Well she exists.

[SunkenCiv]

Great! Hope she’s got her toothbrush, and likes her cellmate, Sweaty Betty, because she’ll be committing perjury.
