The Avenatti and Swetnick circus show and open thread
With Swetnick risibly claiming that, while in college, she attended years of gang rape parties, even after she was raped, it’s time to confirm Kavanaugh.
My legal work was dormant for a while, but suddenly I’m getting calls from several clients with various projects. They’re deadline work — and I get paid for them — so they take precedence over blogging.
I therefore can only offer you an open thread forum on subjects of your choice, although I’d love to hear from you regarding the excruciatingly sleazy, fame-seeking Avenatti and his latest client, Ms. Swetnick, the adult who liked hanging out at “rape parties” with young high school drunken kids, something she allegedly did for two to three years, even after she claims she was raped too.
To get you started, here are some of my favorite tweets on the subject:
So to summarize claims:
Swetnick graduated High School in 1980.
In 1982, as a college student, she was attending high-school parties where druggings & gang rapes occurred with regularity.
She went back to those parties 10 times.
She is just now reporting this, 37 years later.

The Democrats now want you to believe that Judge Kavanaugh is a gang rapist who managed to pass a half dozen FBI background checks.

This would be the same FBI that (a) Democrats want to have investigate 35 year old claims and (b) that faked evidence to spy on Trump, both before and after the election. From the Democrat point of view, the FBI clearly incapable of routine investigations into people’s pasts for important government positions. From the Republican point of view, it’s an utterly corrupt organization — and may also be incompetent. I’m thinking it’s time to take a seriously look at the FBI.
Assuming the allegations are true, Kavanaugh only seems to rape Democrats. How weird is that!?!?! “Julie Swetnick”

Wait…
Julie Swetnick alleges that she KEPT GOING to parties hosted by Kav and his bros for another year after she alleges they raped her.
That’s not even slightly dubious, worth scrutiny, or concern… pic.twitter.com/H6LXm8Z6yr

Somewhere along the line, Lindsay Graham developed a backbone. I’m really proud of him and hope that he remembers to keep it:
From my view, just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it just did.
The lawyer to porn stars has just taken this debacle to an even lower level.
I hope people will be highly suspicious of this allegation presented by Michael Avenatti.

I have a difficult time believing any person would continue to go to – according to the affidavit – ten parties over a two-year period where women were routinely gang raped and not report it.
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) September 26, 2018
Why would any reasonable person continue to hang around people like this?
Why would any person continue to put their friends and themselves in danger?
Isn’t there some duty to warn others?
— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) September 26, 2018
I very much believe in allowing people to be heard.
But I am not going to be played, and I’m not going to have my intelligence insulted by the Michael Avenattis of the world.
I will not be a participant in wholesale character assassination that defies credibility.

Avenatti is going to be disbarred.
She said she had two contemporaneous witnesses. https://t.co/m56x1trgLl

Finally, Charles C.W. Cooke summarizes some of the worst problems with the Swetnick declaration.
Okay, guys and gals! Have some fun, while I’m off to do some indescribably boring legal work. (And really, because of client confidentiality, I can’t describe it, but it sure is boring.)
