The Democratic Coalition, and its chairmen Jon Cooper and Scott Dworkin, have filed a criminal complaint for perjury against Bret Kavanaugh with the Dept. of Justice and will also file with the D.C. Circuit Court Monday for...wait for it... Judge Merrick Garland’s review…

5. You realize that such a thing has no effect, right?

You or I could file such a complaint. Anyone can. It is meaningless. The Justice Department will simply dismiss it out of hand.

The "Democratic Coalition" has no authority to do anything.

This is little more than a publicity stunt, actually. It's more than justified, but useless in accomplishing anything.

13. Not useless to make Kavanaugh's perjury more public

...since the freaking MSM did not give a shit about Sessions as the republican Perjurer General, about Dirty Donny as the republican Liar-in-Chief, and about Kavaugh as the Lying Republican Supremo.

We must do what we can to advance the truth, and call out the lies of the republican party.

9. In an interview he said when they file with DC Circuit Court Monday, that it goes to Merrick Garland

for review.

On Monday, we will submit an identical judicial ethics complaint to the Clerk of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, where Chief Judge Merrick Garland will review Kavanaugh’s Congressional record of lies to the U.S. Senate and determine if a special judicial committee should conduct a formal inquiry


Is that just BS? I do not know how it works.

11. An inquiry could be initiated, but is very unlikely.

As I said, it will be received and then dismissed out of hand. While such documents look very official and legal and all that, they almost never lead to any action by the courts or the justice department.

The most that will happen is that it will be referred to the Justice Department and reviewed. Then it will be dismissed and nothing will happen. Judge Garland will likely never read it.
