Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) on Thursday referred lawyer Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnick — one of the women who accused now-Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh of misconduct during his confirmation proceedings — to the Department of Justice for a criminal probe, alleging that they made “materially false” statements to Grassley’s committee as it investigated the allegations.

Swetnick said in a September affidavit that Kavanaugh attended a 1982 house party during which she says she was gang raped — an accusation Kavanaugh vehemently denied and said was from the “Twilight Zone.” Grassley said he is asking the Justice Department to look into whether Swetnick and Avenatti potentially conspired to give materially false statements to Congress and obstruct a congressional investigation.

“Heard Katz and Bromwich are available.....”

I heard they are next for a criminal referral. Obstruction of justice and enabling perjury of their client.

He can't seriously believe that DOJ will do ANYTHING, can he?

Sessions will probably recuse himself again.

If Sessions can’t understand the importance of prosecuting Swetnick and Avenatti to the fullest, then he needs to get out now

***************
Sessions isn’t going to lift a finger to do a damn thing. He recused himself from his job!

And what about baby girl voice Ballsy-Fraud? She needs to be both sued for defamation and tried for lying to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

First the $4.85 million dollar judgement against him, then he’s evicted from his law offices, and now this.

CPL is having a bad week.

He’s going to need a good lawyer so he’d better not hire himself LMAO.
