Avenatti names third Kavanaugh accuser - and dispels 4chan rumor (Says QAnon is a hoax)
Greenwich Time ^ | September 26, 2018 | Avi Selk, The Washington Post

A lot of stupid rumors have bubbled up from 4chan's anonymous internet forums over the years, percolating through the public consciousness and wafting into national news headlines before they inevitably evaporate back into obscurity, leaving reality just a little more polluted.

Remember the one about the CIA supposedly mistaking 4chan fan-fiction for a dossier of Russian intelligence? Or the one where a 4chan regular, "QAnon," was supposed to be secretly allied with President Trump in a war against global evil?

All were nonsense. All made the news, regardless.

Remember the one - just Tuesday, actually - where a 4chan user claimed his "stripper" girlfriend had tricked attorney Michael Avenatti into believing she was a 51-year-old woman with a sexual-assault accusation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh?

That rumor burned particularly bright and brief. By the end of the day, CNN, Fox News, CBS News and Politico had all reported on the claims of a single, anonymous 4chan poster who offered no evidence, misspelled "Kavanaugh" and "Avenatti," and used the avatar Pepe the Frog in a blond wig.

Headlines such as Newsweek's "MICHAEL AVENATTI DENIES BEING DUPED BY 4CHAN USER OVER KAVANAUGH ACCUSER" continued to appear through Wednesday morning - until the attorney finally revealed his client to be Julie Swetnick, not a fictional stripper running a grift with Pepe the Frog....

It's not true unless it has the DNC seal of approval next to it.

I have no idea how true Q is.

But if anyone has a sealed indictment with his name on it, its this creep. (Avenatti).

One problem with this explanation is that his client is pretty much the best you could get if you did get tricked and needed to come up with something in a day or less.

Not only that, but somewhere in Idaho a little old lady is knitting his blindfold, a retired union steward in Michigan is buying extra .30 06 and a Hispanic college student in Brooklyn just bought an extra carton of cigarettes. Some assembly required.

A lot of stupid rumors have bubbled up from the Washington ComPost and the rest of the Partisan Media Shills. That's because the PMS are liars. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet .

Every article I read about the 4chan Hoax made it clear that it could be a hoax. Why? Because there was no recorded audio.
Anyone with any knowledge knows that such hoaxes can take on multiple forms. The target can be anyone. Even the people on 4chan were hopeful, but skeptical. I was skeptical enough that I never even posted any of the articles.
And none of this has any relation to Q for which there is proof of being real. And BTW Q left 4chan long ago.

Drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you’ll find.

He needs to prove he wasn’t hoaxed.
