Avenatti's client Julie Swetnick went public on Wednesday with explosive accusations against Kavanaugh, claiming he was present when she was drugged and raped by a group of men at a high school party in the early 1980s. Swetnick, in a statement released by Avenatti, accused Kavanaugh of engaging in a pattern of "abusive and physically aggressive behavior" towards girls, including grinding and touching them without consent.
Kavanaugh denied Swetnick's accusations, calling them "from the Twilight Zone" and saying he doesn't know her. He has consistently denied sexual misconduct accusations from two other women -- Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez -- regarding incidents that allegedly occurred during the early 1980s. Trump in response to Avenatti publicizing Swetnick's claims blasted the lawyer as a "low-life" and "third rate."...More...

Makes us appreciate our democracy all the more, I hope.

...about sums it up. (only I would not have been so diplomatic in my assessment..)

(11,885 posts)To understand them , and write them at his level , which according to his own staff it may be around the 4th or 5th grade level. Also remember he is the person who hired Rudy Ghouliani, which explains how little he knows about lawyers being good. trumps been having people look into stuff on Avenatti, and only if he had done that to kavanaugh instead. Now he's showing fear or he wouldn't have said anything. Avenatti will eat his lunch and laugh at him like everyone else is. Kavanaugh will lose his seat on the bench where he is at now after found he was involved and charges are filed soon against him and others. Promoting someone like this is closer to being called a low life , i think, then someone representing women who have been screwed over by a ego maniac , and evil person like him. I call him a hero, and trump is the lowlife.
