At the Afternoon Café...

... I couldn't get to everything I'd wanted this morning. I'd meant to work my way through "'The trauma for a man': Male fury and fear rises in GOP in defense of Kavanaugh" (WaPo), and I've got a lot more to say about stoking the fear of masculine anger and the fear of fear. I mean "Male fury and fear"... aren't half the books about Trump called either "Fear" or "Fury"? What is really going on? But that will have to wait a bit. How can it wait, when everything is an eeeemergenceeeee these days? Courage! And pick your own topics, including bland and ordinary things that don't inspire the slightest quiver of trepitude. Trepitude???

Former Democratic candidate for Congress and weatherman for WJLA Channel 7 in Washington D.C. Dennis Ketterer has sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee about Julie Swetnik. Swetnik has accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.

In the letter, which was submitted as a statement to the Committee under penalty of perjury, Ketterer says Swetnik told him in the 1990s that she enjoyed sex with multiple men at the same time. Ketterer, who doesn't drink alcohol, says he met Swetnik at a bar on Wisconsin Circle. He was there to buy a soda after a goodbye party for a co-worker in 1993 and was having marital issues at the time. Swetnik approached him, they developed a conversation and ultimately a relationship.

“During a conversation about our sexual preferences, things got derailed when Julie told me that she liked to have sex with more than one guy at a time. In fact sometimes with several at one time. She wanted to know if that would be ok in our relationship," the letter states. “I asked her if this was just a fantasy of hers. She responded that she first tried sex with multiple guys while in high school and still liked it from time-to-time. She brought it up because she wanted to know if I would be interested in that.”

“Julie never said anything about being sexually assaulted, raped, gang-raped or having sex against her will. She never mentioned Brett Kavanaugh in any capacity,” he continued.

Ketterer said he is coming forward now due to the accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, which based on his experience with Swetnik, he believes are false.

"On Wednesday, Seprtember 26th, I heard that Mr. Kavanaugh had a third accuser. When Julie's name was mentioned as the accuser. When Julie's name was mentioned as the accuser, and due to the type of accusation, I was deeply troubled and felt a moral dilemma," Ketterer said. "As I watched part of the afternoon confirmation hearing the next day, and saw Mrs. Kavanaugh looking so sad I felt that she needed to know that in this instance, her husband was being mischaracterized...based on my direct experience with Julie, I do not beleive her allegations against Mr. Kavanaugh."

Ketterer also revealed he was a victim of sexual abuse as a child.

"I know what it's like to be sexually assaulted and not be believed. I was nine years old when it happened at the hands of my grandfather's best friend. I also know what it's like to be accused of something significant that I didn't do and not be believed," he wrote.

Sane, normal anyone would want to get on the record interviews with a questioner who is probing. Regardless of man, woman, father, mother, etc.

The Rs are acting like they've got something to hide. If there was no worry, there'd be no fuss re looking for facts/data/info. So, it is logical to ask what must be hidden w/ this haste? Presumably: bad stuff. So. It is logical to ask, is it good to have a lifetime appointment for someone who can only succeed by hiding bad stuff?

Turns out logic doesn't always prevail. Tribalism.

I'll help you understand yourself since you are pretending to be unable to do so.

Your assertion above is A therefore B. The formulation A therefore B is only valid when B is the only possible outcome of A. So when you assert the desire to avoid an investigation "must be" caused by worry about the outcome you are asserting it is the only possible reason.

You're welcome.

So it would appear, but will the risotto press notice.

Mr. Majestyk said...

Late to the party here, but this is what Ford said in her opening statement:

"I convinced myself that because Brett did not rape me, I should just move on and just pretend that it didn’t happen.

"Over the years, I told very, very few friends that I had this traumatic experience. I told my husband before we were married that I had experienced a sexual assault. I had never told the details to anyone — the specific details — until May 2012, during a couples counseling session.

"The reason this came up in counseling is that my husband and I had completed a very extensive, very long remodel of our home and I insisted on a second front door, an idea that he and others disagreed with and could not understand.

"In explaining why I wanted a second front door, I began to describe the assault in detail. I recall saying that the boy who assaulted me could someday be on the U.S. Supreme Court, and spoke a bit about his background at an elitist all-boys school in Bethesda, Maryland. My husband recalls that I named my attacker as Brett Kavanaugh."

My first reading of this was that they entered couples counseling because of a disagreement of whether to add a second front door. But, on rereading it, I guess it could be that they just discussed the door issue during counseling.

See, e.g., Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

"But it’s another example of Trump’s miraculous ability to take once-respected institutions and reveal them as the festering, wormy pustules of partisan corruption they’ve become."

Who's hiding stuff? The Senate Judiciary Committee has the most expensive, experienced investigative staff in Washington DC, on par with the FBI, and unlike the FBI have the power to compel testimony. The can actually get further than the FBI, that is limited to do only an inquiry. The committee staff could have done,this investigation. They could still chase down leads uncovered by the FBI.

But now, since DiFi has taken a giant shit in the middle of the committee, and they have pulled off the case, the facts would point to the Democrats hiding and obstructing.

Bay Area Guy said...

The Left is wacky and dangerous. They have no standards. It's all ad hoc.

Bill Clinton allegedly rapes a woman? Well, that's 20 years ago! And she never even filed a police report!

Brett Kavanaugh allegedly gropes a girl at a party 36 years ago? Smash the male patriarchy! He's a sexual predator! He's unfit for the Supreme Court!

I don't see the point in engaging such nut bags.

Mr. Majestyk said...

Clearly, we need to go back and look at the high school yearbooks of Gorsuch, Kagan, Sotomoyor, Alito, Roberts, Ginsburg (did they have high school yearbooks that long ago?), Breyer, and Thomas. We may need to impeach them for excessive drinking and bragging about their sexual exploits.

Sexual exploits, whether real or imagined

narciso said...

Breyer was apparently quite a party animal freshman year,

Sprezzatura said...

Rick,

So,following your A/B thing, you've proved that I've stated that, according to me, Rs are "acting like" they want to avoid an investigation because they'd rather hide some "bad stuff" re BK.

The Rs themselves say exactly this. Until forced to capitulate to Flake and the gal Rs, the R Senators were on the record as opposing any independent review of new revelations re BK. They fully went on the record as being pro-hide, even aggressively so (e.g. that gay guy from South Carolina) re independently investigating any of these new revelations.

If you have a problem w/ the Rs wanting to avoid an independent investigation into these new revelations, you gots ta take that up w/ them. I'm only saying that they're acting like they're hiding some bad stuff because they oppose and independent investigation. That's factual.


Math/logic doesn't get any easier.

Bad news for peanut. DiFi wants to keep the FBI reports secret.

bagoh20 said...

This is going so badly for the Dems and their hired accusers that I now think it might actually be the best possible way of putting a little badly needed skepticism back in our culture about #metoo. This might be the only way to help the Repubs keep the house. Thanks Dems. Loco is good.

Big Mike said...

Alternatively, the problem perceived by the Republicans could be equal parts (1) after the revelations about Comey, Strzok, and McCabe, coupled with the stonewalling by Rosenstein and Wray over requested documents (documents that the House and Senate, in their oversight role, are legally entitled to request and receive) may have them not trusting the FBI, and (2) last Saturday was pretty much the last day the vote could be held in time for Kavanaugh to take his seat on the Court in time for opening day.

Michael K said...

I am coming to the conclusion that this story has a lot of similarity to the Bush TANG story.

CBS and Rather put out the fake story and bloggers and blog commenters quickly recognized the hoax.

That is happening now with the revelations about the building permit, the paper on hypnosis to recover memories, the rental use of the house and the two doors to the house myth, the polygraph and her changes in the written statement.

The shift to the alcohol allegations shows they don't even believe the story themselves.

Now, we have lefty radical demonstrators harassing Senators.

Rick said...

I'm only saying that they're acting like they're hiding some bad stuff because they oppose and independent investigation. That's factual.

I see we can add "factual" to the growing list of words you don't understand. As proven there are other reasons why the Rs might oppose another investigation so your assertion they "must be" hiding "bad stuff" is simply false.

Be sure to let me know should you need more help understanding what you're written.

Big Mike said...

Latest rumor out there is that Feinstein's office has been investigated as part of the FBI's probe. Interesting, if true.

Perhaps I should do as Althouse and the usual collection of trolls do, and assume that it's true because it could be true.

wholelottasplainin said...

What Rick said at 8:51 is what I said, only he put it much, much more succinctly.

Ditto what he said at 9:41.

And what is this "independent review" anti-what-ev wants? Who besides the FBI would conduct such a review, empowered by what legal authority?

Is he so obtuse as to claim, given all we've been through re Strzok et al, that the FBI is PRO-Trump and therefore willing to give his SCOTUS nominee a pass?

Snort.

If brains were C4, anti-what-ev couldn't blow his nose.

Not Sure said...

Oops! Looks like "totally credible" li'l Chrissie has been rebutted once again:

Under questioning from experienced sex-crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell last week, Ford said that she had "never" had "any discussions with anyone ... on how to take a polygraph" or "given any tips or advice to anyone who was looking to take a polygraph test." She repeatedly said the process was stressful and uncomfortable.

But in his declaration, the ex-boyfriend wrote that, "I witnessed Dr. Ford help [Monica L.] McLean prepare for a potential polygraph exam" and that Ford had "explained in detail what to expect, how polygraphs worked and helped [her] become familiar and less nervous about the exam," using her background in psychology.

The bottom is falling out of Christine Ford's story. We now have the "fear of flying" (or maybe she told her lawyers she didn't want to go to Washington because of fear of lying and they misheard her), her response to why she didn't accept the committee offer to fly to her, her second door story, and now the "never" helped anyone prep for a polygraph and didn't know anything about polygraphs.

Grassley is hammering the lawyers for the polygraph and therapy notes but I think she is already toast.

What was that phase? Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus - how about Falsus in quattuor, falsus in omnibus?

My sinister battle with Brett Kavanaugh over the truth

Yahoo thought enough of this to put it on their feed, but I got there from Drudge. What is surprising is that I don't think people are seeing this for what it really is.

What Evans-Pritchard is doing (in a very stealthy way) is using the "hot meme" of Kavanaugh to bring up the murder of Vince Foster again. You can hear the question he wants to ask: "Judge Kavanaugh, isn't it true you help cover-up the Clintons murder of Vince Foster?".

If Menendez can't do better than 50% in Jersey, this bodes very ill for Democrat prospects. He should face a lock since that state is pretty corrupt.


But Menendez, who would love to meet Howard's kids and grandkids, is totally fine and Kavanaugh who has only had one partisan flake throw an accusation at him, is horrible.

Nice moral myopia going on.

This stuff about Ford is irrelevant, and I say this not as a Howard Clone.

The Althouses in the world won't care. It will be a 'yes but', statement. "Yes, Ford might have lied about that polygraph stuff BUT she is sure HE did it."

Instead, by pointing out the multiple lies and distortions by Ford, the Althouses of America will hate you for making them blatantly foolish.

It would be nice if this tactic (which Althouse still refuses to discuss in any but the most bland of terms) caused a major shift in the polls. That 'blue wave' suddenly turning into a 'red tide'...and all the fingers point Fienward for that shift.

That is if there is Karma. She will still be a millionaire. Still have K Street at her beck and call. But having caused the loss of MULTIPLE Dem senators.

I am reminded of that Old Lady cut totally from the Nursing Home 'Society' in her twilight years in 'Better Call Saul'. All the pussy hat wearing idiots singing her praises, but Schumer lost her number. She doesn't get invites any longer.

And now Ford is being destroyed (something I heartily approve of. She wasn't a pawn).

Let her taste nothing but ashes and iron for the rest of her days. She can have scotch with Hillary there.

Night Owl said...

Someone here is actually trying to claim that Republicans are hiding something for wanting this shitshow to end this week? Really? Which party sat on the accusation for months? It wasn't the GOP.

Why didn't Feinstein and Ford's lawyers ask for an FBI investigation back in July when this accusation first came up? Why did they hide this story for so long? Maybe because they realized the story was so full of holes that it wouldn't withstand scrutiny and would quickly be dismissed by the FBI. And therefore it would be useless as a delaying tactic unless they waited until the very last minute to reveal it.

Night Owl said...

The left's game is obvious, even to people who don't follow politics closely. This is not at all about wanting to get to "the truth" about whether an emotionally disturbed woman was groped at a party almost 40 years ago. It's a disgusting delay tactic. Feinstein, Flake and other phonies don't really care who suffers from this dirty political game.

But just as the made-up Russia story and calls for an investigation backfired on the Dems by not only failing to prove any Trump collusion with Russia, but instead revealing shocking deep state corruption, I hope this sleazy scheme backfires and we see an enthusiastic Republican turnout on election day. And it would be poetic justice if the left ends up with a SC judge who thoroughly hates their guts.

Night Owl said...

Oh, one more thing: If this latest FBI investigation, that the Dems demanded, ends up making Feinstein's office look corrupt and the accusers and their lawyers look like big fat liars, that would be ... well, I'd call it karma but I don't want the Crack MC to yell at me. ;)

PBJ, how do you know that Graham is gay? Did his dick taste like shit? For all you know that's just how your mom's cunt is. Smells like it from a mile away, so play the odds.

Oh-I'm sorry-Trumpian misdirection - you've never had your mom's cunt-she only lets you in the back hole.

Aha! More misdirection. Your mom doesn't have front hole or back hole, only a cloaca. So are you a bird or reptile? I'm voting reptile all the way.

blessings, take care

Did I get your style right? I tried at least as hard as your girl Hillary did with the reset button.

Also known as "Keeping it real."

"Keeping it real" is just a way of saying..."I get to act like an asshole and you're not allowed to call me on it".
