2. Judge is the key.

He said he wants to completely cooperate with the FBI. Hopefully he'll flip on his "friend" to get FBI cover. I think a deal may be in the works.

11. Maybe, but not entirely. He's not the only alum.

The veracity of Kavanaugh's statements do not take Mark Judge to impugn them. There are hundreds of other men who went to the prep school at the same time as Kavanaugh and Judge. Not all of them are going to be willing to lie to the FBI about the culture and the activities.

The atmosphere of privilege and abuse can be fully established without Mark Judge. Kavanaugh's testimony as to this will be found to be misleading at best - lies at worst.

3. He and his client

May need to go on every show they can and announce what all she is accusing him of doing, and why aren't the FBI investigating this claim?

4. Didn't Kavanaugh dismiss her claim as a lie?

Can't Avenatti bring suit against him for libel.

I thought Tribe said be could even before the hearing went he commented on her.

15. I'm not sure about a senate hearing, but....

You can't sue someone for something they say in a court of law. They can quite literally say anything about you, untrue or not, and it can't be the basis of a libel or defamation charge. the key is it has to be said in court, and can't be repeated out of the court room by the person who said it.

There is a reason for it, but as odd as it sounds, you can legally say anything in court as long as you don't commit perjury. You can be charged with perjury, but not defamation.

5. FBI could easily go through his year book

and ask every boy on his sports team about his drinking and his boasts about sex parties. Surely someone saw him blackout.

6. I wonder if Georgetown Prep will be investigated for its culture? nt

[democratic friend]

7. They were in 1990. Hopefully they cleaned up their act for women's sake.

How gross that this stuff went on. Rape trains????? Really? What the heck was wrong with all of them?????

8. "Gentleman's Code," there is nothing gentleman about that code. nt

[elmac]

9. and multiply this by hundreds of prep schools around the country

for the rich elite, there are 2 different justice systems, one for the rich and one for the rest of us. Guess which is worse.

12. "What happens at Georgetown Prep... "

[FakeNoose]

13. Kavanaugh's parents sat there in the hearing room

They know what happened, or they should at least have an idea. There are plenty of Georgetown Prep parents who don't go by any "gentlemen's code" and some of them must be liberals. They can't all be Right Wing Nut Jobs, can they?

This shit has to end!

14. Bet MAGA voters never expected their sesspool culture to get caught up in this way.

Oh, the humanity!

16. I thought Avenatti's client went with him to Yale?
