An alleged victim seems to have filed criminal charges against Kavanaugh with Montgomery County prosecutors. Doesn’t look like she’s the #3 @MichaelAvenatti has been tweeting about. Advice to both sides: Don’t count the cygnets till the swan eggs hatch.

Investigators in Montgomery County (Md.) confirmed Monday they’re aware of a potential second sexual assault complaint in the county against former Georgetown Prep student and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

While investigators weren’t specific and spoke on background, they said they are looking at allegations against Kavanaugh during his senior year in high school after an anonymous witness came forward this weekend.

This would potentially bring the number to four women accusing Kavanaugh of wrongdoing and comes after Deborah Ramirez, a former Yale college student, stepped forward this weekend to accuse Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her in college, and after attorney Michael Avenatti tweeted out a message saying he represents a woman with “credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh and Mark Judge.”

In an email to Mike Davis, the chief counsel for nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee, Avenatti said he had evidence that at house parties in the early 1980s, Kavanaugh and his friend Judge and others plied women with alcohol and drugs, “In order to allow a ‘train’ of men to subsequently gang rape them.”

[Montgomery Co. Sentinel Article, 9/24,

EXCERPT: President Trump refused to direct the FBI to investigate the allegations, but Montgomery County’s Prosecuting Attorney John McCarthy confirmed this weekend he would direct the Montgomery County Police Department to investigate any complaint brought against Kavanaugh but only if a complaint were filed against Kavanaugh. “No complaint has been filed or forwarded to this office,” he explained. >No complaints have been filed by anyone at either the federal, state or local level.

Montgomery County Police Chief Tom Manger said, “We are prepared to investigate if the victim wants to report to us, and we can determine it occurred in the county.” One issue police will have to determine is whether the alleged assault described by Ford occurred in Chevy Chase, Maryland or in Washington D.C. “If it is in D.C. we would not have jurisdiction,” Manger said.

Police said Ford’s accusations – occurring approximately 36 years ago presented other difficulties to investigators. “There is no forensic evidence, there is a question of where it occurred and when and who was around. But we will do what we can if we are called upon to do it.” Manger said that any investigation would have to respect the victim. “Some sexual assault victims do not want police involvement. We respect that. Typically, if we are aware of a case and the victim does not want to involve us, the hospital will collect the physical evidence and turn it over to us for safekeeping in case the victim ever changes their mind about prosecution.”...**Read More at Link Above.]

Tribe, I’m not surprised. That’s why I was tentative and wrote cautiously. As I said, best not count the cygnets till the swan eggs hatch.

Tribe, Interesting. So when does her mask of anonymity fall away? Far be it from me to advise you on dramaturgy, but inquiring people deserve to know.

Michael Avenatti ✔ @MichaelAvenatti
Warning: My client re Kavanaugh has previously done work within the State Dept, U.S. Mint, & DOJ. She has been granted multiple security clearances in the past including Public Trust & Secret. The GOP and others better be very careful in trying to suggest that she is not credible. 10:45 AM 24 Sept.

Analysis: As Republicans wrestle with the increasingly complicated politics of Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination, it’s getting even harder to envision him winning confirmation. https://on.msnbc.com/2xzbRNk
