“Corroborating Evidence” Against Brett Kavanaugh Comes Forward

This piece was published today in USA Today by William E. Scheuerman, a Yale classmate of Brett Kavanaugh. In his piece, William called the FBI investigation “a joke,” saying he tried contacting the FBI to tell his story but was ignored.

“I went to Yale with Kavanaugh, lived in the same residential halls, and graduated with him in 1987. The alleged incident between Kavanaugh and Ramirez, another classmate, occurred during 1983-1984 in a first floor “common room” in entryway “B” of Lawrance Hall. I lived on the first floor of an adjacent entryway (“A”). Kavanaugh lived in entryway “D.”

“Many of us who lived in Lawrance Hall during 1983-1984 approached the FBI last week offering help with its inquiries. I promised a list of names of people who may have attended the party at which Ramirez claims to have been assaulted. The FBI never returned my call. Based on what has now been revealed about the FBI report, I do not believe that the FBI contacted people on that list.

“Other classmates had far more valuable information to provide. One can corroborate that he heard about the incident with Ramirez right after it occurred from a classmate.  The FBI never returned his calls, either. A theologian at one of our nation’s leading universities, he did not “search and destroy.” He just wanted a proper look at the allegations so that we all could reach our own conclusions on the basis of facts, not hearsay and partisan mudslinging.

“The FBI seems to have interviewed only 11 possible witnesses relevant to both Ford’s and Ramirez’s allegations. Who made the decision to limit the inquiry’s scope? The White House and Senate Republicans. Not surprisingly, the FBI was kept from following up on a long list of possible witnesses provided by Ramirez.

“Despite Young’s claims, this was not a “thorough” FBI investigation. It was a political con job.”

Trump Finally Apologizes – To Brett Kavanaugh – Video

No longer can anyone say Donald Trump does not apologize.

Of course he does. He just did. Donald Trump – flanked by Brett Kavanaugh and retiring Justice John Roberts and in front of an adorning gathering in the East Room – apologized to Kavanaugh for the “pain and suffering” he and his family went through during the nomination process.

No mention by the way was the pain and suffering Brett’s accuser is going through. She, Christine Blasey Ford, cannot go home and is currently separated from her family because of death threats. And she, Christine Blasey Ford, was forced to relive the nightmare she encountered at the hands of Kavanaugh in front of the entire nation. And although everyone, including Trump, agreed her story was “compelling and credible,” they still voted Kavanaugh into the Supreme Court. Trump did not apologies to Christine Blasey Ford, in fact, he just implied that her testimony was “based on lies and destruction.”

I’m counting the days to the midterms, and I’m counting the days to 2020!

Republican Orrin Hatch Laughs at Women – Tells Them to “Grow UP” – Video

This Brett Kavanaugh nomination process is really allowing Americans and the world to see the true color of Republicans. 

In a recent encounter between Republican Senator Orin Hatch and women protesters who were demanding their voice against Kavanaugh be heard, the senator, an elected official, laughed in their face, waved them off and told them to “grow up!”

Kavanaugh’s nomination and the multiple sexual allegations and sexual misconduct charges against him have given victims of sexual abuse a new voice to share their stories. But Republicans have turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to these victims in their unending support of Kavanaugh.

And this disgusting display from Orin Hatch exemplifies the very low place this nation is in, thanks in part to Donald Trump and his Republican party.

Jeff Flake Acting ‘flakey’ on Kavanaugh’s Vote

Just when you start having some hope that Jeff Flake would do the right thing and objectively look at the FBI report before making his decision, he smacks you in the face with the realization that he is a Republican and as such, will do exactly what his party demands – get in line and vote to confirm accused sexual molester, Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

CNN’s Manu Raju confronted Flake today and asked a few pointed questions. One question was to state his thoughts on Trump’s recent mocking of Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christie Blasey Ford. Flake courageously stepped to the plate and called Trump’s statements “appalling.”

But it was Flake’s answer to the question about whether Brett Kavanaugh was totally honest during his sworn testimony that took the wind out of the #Metoo sails. Flake’s answer clearly showed that his mind is already made up and barring any unforeseen circumstance in the FBI report, Flake will vote ‘yes’ on Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

Raju asked, “You said that if there are demonstrable falsehoods and lies, that would be disqualifying. There have been instances where it appears he was not fully forthcoming with the Senate Judiciary Committee about his past and his antics in college. Does that bother you?”

Flake replied, “I don’t know specifically what you are talking about.”

Flake then goes on in a desperate attempt to down-play Kavanaugh’s drinking problem. He settled on this answer:

“The drinking think, I don’t know how to gauge that, I really don’t.”

He continued. “I’ve said all along, you know if anybody lies under oath, that not something we can deal with.” Flake then concluded “exaggerating or diminishing your successes or failures is something a lot of people are used to.”

Kavanaugh just got a pass from Flake. Next stop, The Supreme Court… despite what the FBI report says.
