The Senate Democrats put together a nice list of Brett Kavanaugh’s top lies under oath at yesterday’s Judiciary Committee Supreme Court nomination hearing. Here it is:

Kavanaugh’s claim: Kavanaugh claimed that the FBI has already investigated his background, pointing to the fact that he has had six background investigations for prior jobs.

What Kavanaugh actually said: “For the last 26 years, since 1992, I have served in many high profile and sensitive government positions for which the FBI has investigated my background six separate times. Six separate FBI background investigations over 26 years. All of them after the event alleged here. I have been in the public arena and under extreme public scrutiny for decades.”

The reality: The fact that the FBI conducted standard background investigations on Kavanaugh does not mean that the FBI has adequately investigated Dr. Ford’s allegations and other allegations against him.

In fact, despite repeated requests from Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee, the FBI refused to reopen Kavanaugh’s background investigation file or conduct any subsequent interviews with Dr. Ford or others.
urther, it is standard practice for the FBI to reopen files, and the FBI has done so more than a dozen times in the last three months alone. FBI background checks also do not typically cover the time before the subject is less than 18 years old, unless there is reason to do so, as there is now.

Kavanaugh’s claim: Judge Kavanaugh’s central defense is that all four witnesses Dr. Ford identified as being present at the party have said that the sexual assault “did not happen.”

What Kavanaugh actually said: “Just on one thing, Mr. Chairman – the evidence is not corroborated at the time. The witnesses who were there say that it didn’t happen.”

The reality: This is not true. Only one person has said that the sexual assault did not happen—Brett Kavanaugh. The other three party attendees that Dr. Ford identified simply did not say that.

Mark Judge said “I have no memory of this alleged incident.” In a letter yesterday, Judge said “I do not recall the events described by Dr. Ford.”
P.J. Smyth said “I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct.”
Leyland Keyser said that she has “no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without Dr. Ford” but that she believes Dr. Ford.

Kavanaugh also claimed that Mark Judge had made his statement under threat of perjury. In fact, at the time, Mark Judge’s statement was signed by his lawyer, and thus not sworn under oath.

Hoist by his own lies?
