Avenatti Demands to Know When Republicans Knew About New Kavanaugh Allegations

.


In his letter to the Chief Council of Nominations for the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee:



Avenatti demanded:

1. A “fair” FBI investigation into his clients claims (excellent use of qualifying adjectives, necessary given that we do not know why the FBI didn’t turn up this evidence during their vetting process; either they didn’t look hard, the ignored it, or the White House directed them to only use what was on file already.)

2. He offered that his client would take a polygraph *provided Kavanaugh does too.*

That’s right. It’s not just the alleged victims who have to prove their character here. In fact, Kavanaugh actually has the burden of proof here since this is not a criminal trial. It is supposed to be a vetting process to determine if he is worthy of this lifelong appointment. Republicans, of course, are not treating it that way. They are making it about the victims, as if they have a burden to prove these things happened.

3. Kavanaugh demands that Mark Judge testify and if he is not being called to testify as a witness to these assaults alleged by Christine Ford and now his own client, why not.

4. He demanded to know if the committee posed his questions to Mark Kavanaugh. This is how one has to play with entitled people who think they can change the rules to suit them one their own whims. It’s not pretty, but it’s real.

5. Avenatti demanded that Kavanaugh explain the “FFFFFFFourthofJuly” and “Devils Triangle” references in his yearbook signatures (allegedly this refers to “Find them, French them, Feel them, Finger them, F*ck them, and Forget them– brought to you by the party of “family values” and evangelicals who are pushing for this guy).

6. Avenatti demanded to know if the reports were true that members of the committee knew of allegations similar to these prior them coming out, and if so, why they were not investigated.

pertinent documents to be released while the corporate media looked the other way (corporate masters told them not to mention it).

The corporate media is not our friends.

....but good trial attorneys know that asking a question you know isn't going to be answered is powerful in its own right.
