AS THE ACCUSATIONS PILE ON, THE NOMINATION KEEPS CIRCLING THE DRAIN

New accuser says Brett Kavanaugh was there when she was drugged and gang-raped at a high school party, and claims she saw him 'lined up' to 'take his turn' with drunk girls

Brett Kavanaugh was dramatically accused Wednesday of drugging a high school girl and taking part in a gang rape.

Julie Swetnick, his new accuser, released a sworn statement through her attorney Michael Avenatti saying that Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge were there as she was abused by a 'train' of teenage boys. She said she was drugged 'using Quaaludes or something similar' which had been put in her drink.

Swetnick, who says she has worked for the State Department and other government agencies, accused Kavanaugh of being part of the group of boys abusing her.

“In approximately 1982, I became the victim of one of those ‘gang’ or ‘train’ rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present,” she said in the statement. “During the incident, I was incapacitated without my consent and unable to fight off the boys raping me.”

The testimony is a fresh blow to Kavanaugh, already accused of two sexual assaults by named women.

Trump tore into Michael Avenatti. He mocked Avenatti as a 'total low-life!' and a 'third rate lawyer.’

‘Avenatti is a third rate lawyer who is good at making false accusations, like he did on me and like he is now doing on Judge Brett Kavanaugh,’ Trump said. ‘He is just looking for attention and doesn't want people to look at his past record and relationships - a total low-life!'

Kavanaugh denied the new bombshell charges. 'This is ridiculous and from the Twilight Zone,' he said in a statement released by the White House. 'I don't know who this is and this never happened,' he said.

EDITOR’S NOTE: True or not, this latest accusation looks like a mortal blow to the Kavanaugh nomination. Michael Avenatti is an outspoken Trump-hater, but he has a sworn statement from a woman claiming to have been gang-raped by or in the presence of Kavenough. Even if she is lying, look for some Republican senators to now vote against the confirmation.

In the beginning I said that something that may or not happened 36 years ago when Kavanaugh was a 17-year-old high school teenager should not prevent him from being seated on the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, I can no longer say that.

If the accusations are true, there is a pattern of drunken behavior and sexual abuse by Kavanaugh. If the accusations are an untrue smear, they nevertheless leave a stain on Kavanaugh that brings into serious question his fitness to be a Justice of the Supreme Court.

I hope I’m wrong, but I believe the nomination will soon stop circling the drain … it will be down the drain.

UPDATE: From the Daily Mail.

Swetnick allegedly failed to pay over $100,000 in taxes and fees in Maryland and to the Internal Revenue Service since 2015.

Senate investigators questioned Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh about two new claims of sexual misconduct, including one from an anonymous Colorado tipster who says Kavanaugh shoved an unnamed woman up against a wall 'aggressively and sexually' in 1998. They also asked him about a separate claim from another tipster that he and longtime friend Mark Judge sexually assaulted a woman on a boat near Newport, Rhode Island in 1985.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Both of these tips lack any sort of credibility. The first claim came in a letter anonymously written. The other claim came from an anonymous phone call.

Swetnick’s attorney Michael Avenatti has been demanding an FBI investigation. By all means let’s have one … an investigation of this bottom-feeding sleazeball of a lawyer!

It may be that the opponents of Kavanaugh have overplayed their hands and all this crap may yet play into Kavanaugh’s favor. I sure hope so.
