WestVirginiaRebel Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 NBC News When Sen. Chuck Grassley referred attorney Michael Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnick to the Justice Department for criminal investigationThursday, he cited Swetnick's interview with NBC News as evidence the two were trying to mislead the Senate Judiciary Committee. In the NBC News interview that aired on Oct. 1, Swetnick back-tracked on or contradicted parts of her sworn statement where she alleged she witnessed then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh "cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be 'gang raped' in a side room or bedroom by a 'train' of boys." NBC News also found other apparent inconsistencies in a second sworn statement from another woman whose statement Avenatti provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee in a bid to bolster Swetnick's claims. In the second statement, the unidentified woman said she witnessed Kavanaugh "spike" the punch at high school parties in order to sexually take advantage of girls. But less than 48 hours before Avenatti released her sworn statement on Twitter, the same woman told NBC News a different story. Referring to Kavanaugh spiking the punch, "I didn't ever think it was Brett," the woman said to reporters in a phone interview arranged by Avenatti on Sept. 30 after repeated requests to speak with other witnesses who might corroborate Swetnick's claims. As soon as the call began, the woman said she never met Swetnick in high school and never saw her at parties and had only become friends with her when they were both in their 30s. When asked in the phone interview if she ever witnessed Kavanaugh act inappropriately towards girls, the woman replied, "no." She did describe a culture of heavy drinking in high school that she took part in, and said Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge were part of that group. ________ Spiking her own story?

Valin Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Oct 26, 2018 Kavanaugh Accusers Lied, Referred To FBI For Investigation. While we don't know the full details we can now say according to NBC News that Julie Swetnick and another unnamed witness provided statements under penalty of felony but later recanted some of those statements. One woman claimed that Michael Avenatti twisted her words and she recanted some of the statements she made in her sworn declaration. The two possible scenarios both involved the accusers having lied. Either they lied in their sworn statements or they lied to NBC news. Lying to the press is not a crime so the FBI will likely go off of the sworn statements but with one woman claiming Avenatti twisted her words he might be on the hook for some of the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh.
