Kavanaugh accused of more unwanted sexual contact by former classmate: report
By John Bowden - 09/14/19 08:10 PM EDT

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was hit with another accusation of unwanted sexual contact by a male classmate who said he witnessed Kavanaugh expose himself and press his genitals against a woman without her consent.

The New York Times reported Saturday that the latest allegation, which has until not been public, was reported to the FBI during Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation process last year but was not investigated by the FBI.


In the Times report, two FBI officials told the newspaper that a Yale classmate of Kavanaugh's, D.C.-based nonprofit owner Max Stier, said that he had witnessed Kavanaugh expose himself at a party before other students pushed Kavanaugh's genitals into the hand of a female student, apparently without her consent.

The Hill has reached out to the Supreme Court for comment.

Brett Kavanaugh Fit In With the Privileged Kids. She Did Not.

Deborah Ramirez’s Yale experience says much about the college’s efforts to diversify its student body in the 1980s.

FWIW:  A bio of Max Stier.

https://ourpublicservice.org/staff/max-stier-3/

It appears Stier told his story to the FBI and senators report y tat the time the confirmation proceedings were going on, but the alleged incident was not investigated.  He's not even talking about it now apparently.    Two "officials" apparently reported this to the New York Times, which has decided this is "juicy" enough to bring up now. 

There is no actual evidence this incident took place.  No mention that the woman involved complained to authorities at the time the alleged incident took place.  She has not even come forward publicly.  All we have is a report by two "officials" that this guy, Stier, said something about witnessing the alleged incident to the FBI.  Has the Times talked to Stier or the woman involved in the alleged incident?  What does the Times hope to gain by reporting this story?

This is a big nothingburger.

Exactly. Apparently, NYT and all repeating this fraud harbor the notion that Kavanaugh will be removed from the court for this vile (non)deed.

And I just shake my head at the thought that someone would spend the time, money and effort to find and pay for this woman to come forward with no evidence to corroborate the story.  This will end up being the same as that Ford chick.

Harris bashes Kavanaugh's 'sham' nomination process, calls for his impeachment after sexual misconduct allegation

By Aris Folley - 09/15/19 01:09 PM EDT
 

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), a 2020 presidential contender, on Sunday called for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to be impeached following the latest allegations of sexual misconduct against him, blasting his confirmation process as a “sham.”

“I sat through those hearings,” she tweeted, referring to the Senate hearings after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct.

“Brett Kavanaugh lied to the U.S. Senate and most importantly to the American people," she added. "He was put on the Court through a sham process and his place on the Court is an insult to the pursuit of truth and justice. He must be impeached."

The Center for Popular Democracy (CPD) is an American advocacy group that promotes progressive politics.CPD is a federation of groups that includes some of the old chapters of ACORN. The group's stated goal is to "envision and win an innovative pro-worker, pro-immigrant, racial and economic justice agenda."The organization is allied with teachers’ unions and has published studies criticizing charter schools.
Anti-American

Women March is a bigoted bunch of anti-Semites .  Mostly made up of tranny's and other rabid alphbet people.

Demand Justice. Beginning in July 2018, Demand Justice has been one of a number of left-wing judicial advocacy groups organizing opposition to the confirmation of judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

No date (other than supposedly during Kavanaugh's years at Yale), no victim named, no location, not witnesses, no contemporaneous reports ... there was nothing for the FBI to investigate.

OTOH, all those factors evidence an accusation designed to be not subject to fact-checking.
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Cruz is so right.  As he points out, the Dem candidates predictably are wailing and gnashing their teeth over this latest "bombshell" just to whip up their base.  Thing is, they can cry all they want.  This is going nowhere.  The senate would have to convict, no?  Well, the Republicans still hold the majority, and I doubt they will want to beat this dead horse. 

No complaining victim, no proof, a third hand report that someone saw someone else allegedly being assaulted by Justice Kavanaugh -- this has even less credibility than that Ford chick's story, if that's possible.

So predictable.
What also seems predictable, is a weak GOP, that thus far, isn't threatening to pursude charges against Obama, Lynch, Comey etc. for bogus interference with the election process.

You have to consider Holder's remarks, about going after Trump aftter he leaves office, as a preemptive defense for Obama.

The Dems really are engaging in something like Bolshevik-ism, it's just reprehensible, good for nada...

Racial Tensions rose when Obama was president from Bush's term.

The Dems are agitators, forget what JFK said, "ask not what your country can do for you...", hopefully, they are put in their place, it's kind of scary if they aren't.

If McConnell had any balls, he would nip this in the bud right now by saying something like, enough is enough. We are not going to put Justice Kavanaugh through another witch hunt.   And if anyone doesn't like it, they can go pound sand.

Of course, if the Dems take the senate, you know they will bring this up again.
