U.S.
A Classmate Has Told the FBI That Kavanaugh Lied Under Oath About Knowledge of Yale Assault, Report Says
Glenn Fleishman Glenn Fleishman 15 hours ago

A Yale classmate and friend of Brett Kavanaugh............................has reportedly delivered text messages to the FBI that were exchanged among Kavanaugh’s friends related to an accusation of assault before the details became public.

If the texts were found to be accurate, they contradict sworn testimony by Kavanaugh.

The classmate, Kerry Berchem, prepared a memo about the text messages and attempted to submit them to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 27 following Kavanaugh’s testimony and that of Christine Blasey Ford, according to NBC News, which obtained a copy of the memo.

The Republican staff of the committee didn’t forward the memo to the FBI and a spokesperson for Charles Grassley, who chairs the committee, said the texts weren’t relevant. A Democratic senator on the committee, Richard Blumenthal, said he worked with Berchem to submit them to the FBI directly.

1. Paging Jeff Flake.

[Cracklin Charlie]

2. Kavanaugh nomination seems to have turned on the exposure lights.

Cockroaches be scatterin’.

Ugh.

[mythology]

3. The longer this drags on, the worse they look

You'd think self-preservation would have them tossing Kavanaugh off the boat.

[pangaia]

4. They're too invested in it.

He's their highly visible Trojan Horse.

[lunatica]

5. They can't admit defeat yet

Because anything can happen. God could intercede any second now!

[LiberalLovinLug]

20. They are too pig-headed to pull him now

They are bathing in the luxury of their unmitigated power they have now. No way they give in now. Because to them its all partisan, always has been, always will be. It was never about Kavanaugh's qualifications, it was about doing what they want, when they want, and not losing any face.

In fact it works out well for them if they weren't so stupid. If they'd not have to have all this hubris and if they simply withdrew K and quickly nominated some other loyal soldier who had a boring uneventful college life, but underneath was a Trump supporting asshole willing to protect Trump and every GOP law enacted, they'd be in a great position. Because even the MSM like CNN would be critical of Dems for opposing the new nominee, (and some wouldn't). It would then really look like it was the Democrats that were playing partisan games. And he'd be sworn in easily, and in time.

21. Too much money invested in this guy

6. Grassley isn't fit to decide what is relevant

A PARTISAN HACK, he is!

[Fred Sanders]

12. The Judicial Committee investigation team seems to be have suppressed everything they could.

They are not interested in the truth, so of course they attack on Democrats that it is not us, us who want a full investigstion, that do not want the truth!...even the brain dead cult Trump can cut through that turd.

[SunSeeker]

13. They should be calling for an investigation of Grassley, not Feinstein.

[triron]

7. So has the FBI contacted him??

[pangaia]

8. No idea...

[honest.abe]

9. I think this is the one that is going to take him down.

It gives Flake and others cover to vote no. Clear intent to deceive the committee.

[pangaia]

10. I sure hope so.

I ALSO hope that in case he IS stopped, Dems are already working on stopping whomever the next one may be.

[GoCubsGo]

17. One would hope they use Mitch McLipless' words against him.

"It's too close to an election to make such a decision" needs to be repeated on an endless loop.

[rainy]

18. Yes, let the people decide!!!!

[jcgoldie]

11. Hope thats right

But I've said "think this is the one thats going to take him down" about Donald Trump virtually on a weekly basis for 2 years now and this republican congress never ceases to dissappoint...

[-Steph-]

15. I can relate to your post SO much! There have been an infinite amount of times that something

so incredibly damning comes out in regard to Trump, his administration, a Republican, or Kavanaugh, etc. that I think to myself this is it.. this is the one that's going to finally sink the ship, there's just no way they'll be able to sweep this one under the rug and get away with it.. and then they do, every single time.

[OhNo-Really]

14. Elite Preppies are Perjury Exempt - Lies are their GOP "acceptable alternative versions of Truth"

Don't post much out of fear of reprisal. This is the America we live in today.

Christine Blasey Ford knowingly risked the safety and well-being of herself and her CHILDREN.

Why are Kav and Ford NOT being interviewed by the FBI, which has the resources to interview 100s of people simultaneously?

[krkaufman]

16. Not just lying

In another time I’d have dared to hope that the efforts to influence witnesses would have an effect on the nomination of a person for any position, let alone a Supreme Court seat.

19. May not be what it seems.

I read that a list of potential accusers was on the New Yorker reporter's list and as per usual practices, they asked for his version---so he knew in advance of the article so not because he's guilty. I know he's guilty---but the lie to the committee was only that he said after the article and he "meant" after the New Yorker contacted me. That's how I understand the sequence.

Which, if true, changes the meaning.
