Seven Questions About the Avenatti/Swetnick Story
National Review ^ | September 26, 2018 | Charles C. W. Cooke

Posted on 09/26/2018 12:01:31 PM PDT by reaganaut1

Some questions raised by the charges brought by Michael Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnick:

1. Given the seriousness of these allegations, why did Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnick decline to go directly to the police?

2. Likewise, why did Avenatti and Swetnick bypass the press? Did anyone in the press look into this story? What did they find? The New York Times confirms that “none of Ms. Swetnick’s claims could be independently corroborated by The New York Times, and her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, declined to make her available for an interview.” Why?

3. Where are the witnesses? The charge is of gang rape. Leave aside the question of whether Brett Kavanaugh was involved — and forget for a moment that we’re debating whether he should be on the Supreme Court — surely there are a whole host of victims, perpetrators, and witnesses to this monstrous crime. Where are they?

4. Is is not a little strange that there are only two details provided, and that they are happen to be public knowledge already? The two names given are Mark Judge’s and Brett Kavanaugh’s. The time given is “BEACH WEEK,” which is listed on the calendar that Brett Kavanaugh released this morning. Why is there nothing new?

5. According to the New York Times, Swetnick left school in 1980, and then went on to college. Swetnick claims that she “attended at least 10 house parties in the Washington area from 1981 to 1983 where the two were present.” That means that, at the time of the alleged incident(s), she was between 18 and 20-years-old at the least, and that Kavanaugh and Judge were between 16 and 18 at the most. Why was she, an adult, attending high-school parties with minors?

6. Kavanaugh says that he’s never heard of the accuser. Is there anyone who can testify to the contrary? If so, how did they meet? What relationship did Kavanaugh have with her school, Gaithersburg High? Swetnick claims that she “met Judge Kavanaugh and Mr. Judge in 1980 or 1981.” Why did she, an 18- or 19-year-old, start hanging out with Kavanaugh and Judge, who were 15 or 16, depending on the year?

7. Why would an adult go repeatedly to parties at which minors were being gang raped, and, having figured out what was going on, resolve only to “avoid the punch”? Did Ms. Swetnick tell anybody what she had seen? Why did she keep going back?

They used the BEACH WEEK on Kavanaugh’s calendar to make up this BS..that is why he should have held onto the calendar til tomorrow, an element of surprise..Also, has ANYONE asked how come a 20 year old ADULT would attend parties with TEENAGERS..what’s the deal, she couldn’t find people her own age to party with she had to party with KIDS

Sounds like a case can be made against her for statutory rape or at least contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

You know, I’m just sitting here and I get the thought that perhaps Avenatti is actually “controlled opposition” and that tweet exchange makes Avenatti out front and visible as the face of the Democrat Party. Trump is pretty smart.

This is the get out of jail free card. She's nuts and a liar to boot.

Would be funny if Kavanaugh could prove Beach Week was a vacation with his family in South Carolina or Florida

Absolutely, the man is a disgrace to the legal profession. Is there no attorney discipline commission in California?

This narcissistic lawyer and his firm have been sued by numerous plaintiffs and have unpaid judgments, plus bankruptcy filings. How is he credible in the least and who is paying his bills?

Go to red state watcher. There is a video of a man calling Jeff Kuhner’s radio program who knows this woman’s family. He says his sisters went to school with her and she is a complete whacko.

Someone should point out to this woman that she needs competent legal representation, because she’s being advised to admit to various felonies for which there is no statute of limitations in the state of Maryland.

Its VERY common over summer vacation to have beach week..at least at my school they did..I didn’t go but it was a very common thing..during summer break you go to the beach, out of town, etc etc..just because it says BEACH WEEK doesn’t mean he actually went, it just means that was the week they were having beach fun..heck he also states when he had a haircut, who doesn’t think that’s adorable!

Probably, but it is true that everyone and their brother referred to an annual run to OC as “beach week” back then. Probably still do.

Nevertheless, this loon is obviously delusional.

**********
I recall that Nixon had to burn through two nominees before the Democrats confirmed Justce Rhenquist in the early 1970s. Nixon didn’t quit — each nominee was more conservative than the next one.
