Once again, Michael Avenatti delivers. Julie Swetnick's sworn declaration is reprinted here at NBC News.
Swetnick says she knew Kavanaugh and Judge as "joined at the hip" and that because of that, Judge would have "significant information concerning the conduct of Brett Kavanaugh during the 1980s, especially as it relates to his actions toward women."
She also says she attended "well over" ten house parties from 1981-1983 where both Judge and Kavanaugh were present, and at which she witnessed them both "drink excessively and engage in highly inappropriate conduct, including being overly aggressive with girls and not taking 'No' for an answer," including "fondling and grabbing of girls without their consent." She saw them spiking punch at house parties with drugs and grain alcohol, so she avoided the punch. (I wonder if she didn't warn other girls? Somebody's going to ask her that.)
She says she saw them, and others, getting girls drunk so they could be gang raped. She doesn't say she witnessed the raping, but she remembers boys lined up outside a room waiting for their turn, including Kavanaugh and Judge. And then, she says she was a victim of a "gang" or "train" rape where Kavanaugh and Judge were present. She says she thinks she was drugged with Quaaludes in her drink. She doesn't accuse Kavanaugh and Judge of the actual raping.
Specific to Kavanaugh, she says she observed him at parties, "pressing girls against him without their consent, 'grinding' against girls, and attempting to remove or shift girls' clothing to expose private body parts." She also says she observed him making "crude sexual comments" that were "designed to demean, humiliate and embarrass them." ... "I also witnessed Brett Kavanaugh behave as a 'mean drunk' on many occasions at these parties."
She says other women told her the same behavior occurred in Ocean City, Maryland, "on numerous occasions," and saw that there for herself during "Beach Week."
She says she can name other witnesses that will attest to the truth of her statement.
So that they won't be so quick to call her a liar, she provides her background:
Will Fox interview Julie Swetnick? Or maybe re-interview Brett 'Choir Boy' Kavanaugh?
