Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, or add if they find more, but I've found two: One in 1971 for bribery, and one in 1981 for bribery.

I still believe that Republicans will find a way to confirm Kavanaugh.

If so, GOP ---> GORP

I still believe that Republicans will find a way to confirm Kavanaugh.

I think this new affidavit makes the stakes much more serious for Kavanaugh. At this point, losing a SC seat is not his biggest potential loss. His reputation is shredded and his existing court seat and possibly freedom are at risk. He needs to seriously consider getting himself out of the news.

It's that serious?

Have you read the Swetnick affidavit? She signed that under penalty of perjury.

It has now been alleged that he is involved in gang rapes, so yes.

Seems a bit late for that. If he didn't do what is alleged, I certainly would do what he is doing. He has no choice. And if I did, I would have asked that my name be withdrawn at the first indication that any of this was surfacing. In fact, I would have deemed seeking the SCOTUS seat far too risky myself.

I really have trouble believing the gang rape charge myself. Now K is 19, and in college. If he did, he is a true redux of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. And who else was allegedly involved besides Judge and K, or are those the only two perps that the accuser remembers?

[Gustaf]

I mean, I struggle to see why she would lie and risk perjury here. If there is corroboration of her story I can't see him surviving. Even the GOP wouldn't confirm a gang rapist to the Supreme Court (not because they would mind gang rape of course, but even they would recognize the political backlash as not worth it).

He should be in jail.

Based on the wording of the statement (& Avanatii's response when asked about the  specifics in an interview a few minutes ago, etc)...

1) I think when Avanatii &/ or his client are pressed to clarify ... the accusation is that Kavanaugh was "involved in" & "present" during the Train rape.  

2) The "involved in"... is alleging that Kavanaugh was involved in helping get the girls drunk, spiking the "punch" etc.  (had Kavanaugh been involved specifically in the act of raping his client ... it would have been very clearly and specifically stated).

2) "Present" ... meaning Present at the party and Present in the vicinity of the area/ room where the "Train" was happening.

3) The timing would've been his Jr & Sr Years of High School.

4) Also- the implication - via Avanatii interview today- seemed to be that She does know the names other the "guys" very well.  I'm not sure if Judge was one of the guys involved in Train raping her (putting something in her drink so she was to a point not to be able to give consent).

5) She told a couple of people soon after she was raped by the friends... and they are apparently willing to confirm.

6) She also claims that Kav was often beligent when drunk and often a mean drunk.  And that he often was inappropriate in talking trash about girls in a sexual way.  

7) And often would grind up against girls (unwantedly).  And would grab/ pull down girls clothes (ie pull down their shirts to see their breasts).

...BTW- I'm in no what saying getting the girls drunk for some of his other friends to rape... is any better than the rape itself... I'm just clarifying what my understanding of what the specific claim is based on the Avanatii interview a few minutes ago.
