THREAD: #KavanaughLied
The following is an ongoing thread of the multiple lies Kavanaugh told to Congress under oath. Which is enough to disqualify him for SCOTUS. #WithdrawKavanaugh
Never attended gathering like Ford describes.
Thursday 7/1/82 on Kavanaugh's Calendar he states he's going to Timmy's for beer with 2 people Ford claims that were at the gathering
He claims drinking was done on the weekends however calendar shows a Thursday brewski gathering.
Ford's witnesses say it didn't happen.
Leland says she believes Ford but doesn't remember being at a party with him. Judge & PJ don't deny the gathering happened, they just don't remember that specific gathering. Refuted can mean denied OR disproven. Cleaver way to muddy water.
On 7/1/82 Kavanaugh was 17, not of legal drinking age. Coincidentally that same day, Maryland raised the drinking age to 21.
No connections to Yale.
His grandfather attended Yale.
Renate Alumni: to clumsily show affection.
Another Alumni included a slut shaming poem which horrified Renate who said it was horrible, hurtful & untrue.
Devils Triangle is not a quarters drinking game with three shot glasses. It's the exact scenario that Ford describes.
Beach Weak Ralphing: vomiting due to weak stomach & spicy foods
Boofing: anally ingesting alcohol
"he pretended he was ralphing during Beach Week from too many jalapeños, as he feigned ignorance about sex slang, as he misread his own meticulously-kept 1982 summer calendar, as he replied to questions about his drinking habits by talking about church,"
"as he suggested there are no alcoholics at Yale, as he denied knowing who “Bart O’Kavanaugh” could possibly be based on, as he declared things refuted that weren’t actually refuted, as he claimed witnesses said things they didn’t say,"
"as he failed to explain why nearly a dozen Yale classmates said he drank heavily, as he invented an imaginary drinking game to avoid admitting he had the mind of a sports jock in high school, as he said Ford had only accused him last week,"
"as he responded to his roommate’s eyewitness statement with an incoherent story about furniture, as he pretended Bethesda wasn’t five miles wide, as he insisted Renate should be flattered by the ditty about how easy she was,"
as he declared that distinguished federal judges don’t commit sexual misconduct even though he had clerked for exactly such a judge.
Lied about knowing anything about warrantless wiretapping.
In initial discussions of widespread surveillance, as Justice Dept lawyer, Kavanaugh in a 9/17/01 email asked about Fourth Amendment implications.
He “was not involved” in legal questions related to the detention of so-called enemy combatants.
Records show that there are at least three recorded examples of Kavanaugh participating in discussions of Bush administration detainee policy.
Nomination of Judge William Pryor.
That was not one that I worked on personally.” Newly released documents suggest otherwise. Emails from the Bush White House show that Kavanaugh was involved in selecting Pryor, interviewing him, and shepherding his nomination through the Senate
By directing officials to speak to reporters during the investigation of President Bill Clinton, Kavanaugh may have violated grand jury secrecy laws — even though Sen. Fienstein and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse he never broke those rules. politico.com/amp/story/2018…
THREAD: Timeline proves #TrumpColluded
April 26, 2016: George Papadopoulos, whom Trump named as one of his “top five” foreign policy advisers, learns that the Russians had possession of the DNC emails. He passes word of this to others in the campaign. No one calls the FBI.
Mid-May: PapaD tells an Australian diplomat in London that the Russians have compromising emails on Clinton. The diplomat properly informs his superiors, who--unlike Trump campaign officials--recognizes his legal responsibilities under American law to notify U.S. authorities.
June 9: At a meeting at Trump Tower previewed for the campaign as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump,” Donald Trump Jr. listens as well-connected Russians offer damaging information about Clinton.
