Based on the letter released by the Montgomery County Sheriff stating that Ford could not file a charge there if she wanted to, it would appear to me that Mark Judge has no exposure here and thus, would not be facing any criminal liability by admitting to Ford's accusations. Considering the alternative would be to lie to the FBI and say it didn't happen (playing devil's advocate), thus opening himself up for criminal liability, I think Judge's words to the FBI this week are going to be given quite a bit of weight by any GOP Senators who are on the fence.
Yeah, I think he'd probably opt to take a little heat in the public in order to stay out of jail. Pretty much every alternative to going to jail is a better one.
I haven’t watched it yet, but from Twitter I take it that Swetnick’s NBC interview was something of an unmitigated disaster?
Better than 0.000% chance, which is the chance he has of being indicted for something the statute of limitations has expired on. Which is likely the very first thing his lawyer explained to him on Friday.
Good news, though. Chris Dudley has released statements attesting to Kavanaugh not being an out of control drunk. He can definitely be trusted . . . Rut roh.
Yeah maybe. Not sure which would be the stronger pull here. Also, killing a good friend’s Supreme Court chances would be a tough thing for me to do.
And if you don’t believe me, you can ask this dead guy, or this dead girl, or this person who says they don’t know me, or one of these two people who won’t answer you.
I don't think she helped her case. Everyone she claims to have told is either dead, don't remember it, or would not talk to NBC. The AP and Washington Post did some background checks on her and it is not very flattering. Swetnick was on the other side of a civil case in 1994, as a plaintiff, when she filed a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland against the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. She claimed she lost more than $420,000 in earnings after she hurt her nose in a fall on a train in 1992. Swetnick, who described herself in court records as a model and actor, claimed she had "numerous modeling commitments" with several companies at the time of the accident but missed out them because of her injuries. To support her claim for lost wages, Swetnick named "Konam Studios" as one of the companies promising to employ her. A court filing identified Nam Ko, a representative of "Kunam Studios," as a possible plaintiff's witness for her case. Ko, however, told AP on Friday that he was just a friend of Swetnick's and that he had never owned a company with a name spelled either way and had never agreed to pay her money for any work before she injured her nose. He said he first met Swetnick at a bar more than a year after her alleged accident. "I didn't have any money back then. I (was) broke as can be," Ko said. Ko said he has a hazy memory of Swetnick asking to use him as a "character reference" but doesn't recall hearing about her lawsuit. "I thought it was for a job application," he said. 3rd Brett Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick has history of legal disputes
I'm guessing it was posted before, but it deserves to be posted again. Mitchell's nine-page memo on the allegations. She has nearly 25 years of experience in this field. It's funny how she's totally slipped off the media's radar. Gee, I wonder why. Read prosecutor Rachel Mitchell's memo about the Kavanaugh-Ford hearing
To hell with Swetnick, if the NBC Report is right, there's hard evidence that Kavanaugh perjured himself.
Because her observations are no more valuable than anyone elses at this point. She wasn't privy to observing what the world couldn't already observe.
RIP!!! Weaker than a "he said, she said" case per Mitchell. Prosecutor Details 12 Huge Inconsistencies In Kavanaugh Accuser’s Story
Or that that his team heard that there was a story coming about him from his time at Yale from Ramirez but they did not know what the allegation was.
