    The NBC story refers to the fact that K texted with his friend, Yarasavage, and received a pic from her wedding that he attended and Ramirez attended. So clearly K was aware of the wedding before being asked about it by SJC staff. The transcript of that is available.

    Here's the first quote in the story designed to undermine Kavanaugh:

    Complete BS. Kavanaugh absolutely never said he was "probably" at the wedding. In fact when asked about when he'd last seen Ramirez' he responded he was "sure, we were at a wedding together."

    You know who said "probably"? The questioner, ten minutes later in the interview: "You mentioned that you believed you were probably at a wedding with her"

    Him being "sure" doesn't fit the headline though, so they didn't use it. It continues, but I'm not going to recount chapter and verse on every quote there. They continue to be wrong though.
    Nice spin but they never said what he allegedly they did. Even Judge didn't. A lie is still a lie.

      Graham calling for Klobuchar to apologize to Kavanaugh and his family.
      Also said Kavanaugh apologizing to her was what bothered him most.

            As I imagine most Senators read this thread, I think you make an excellent point. I wonder how much K's lawyers charge?

            For myself, I don't much care whether K get's through or not, if not him, someone similar likely will. I am interested in facts though. Mostly I just became interested in this case, am a natural contrarian, (i.e. if everyone here was a righty, I'd argue with them at approximately the same rate as I do with most of you now) and lastly I have the kind of memory that can mostly reproduce something I've read recently. (Don't know how that works, it just does.) Since I've read all the transcripts, it stands out to me when something doesn't match, or when it's very far afield from the original.

                I believe they asked for the charts and any video or audio on the polygraph. The polygrapher's report on the two questions has been in evidence for some time. The committee released a letter and 3 emails to Ford's lawyers, and also note Grassely's tweets and statements in reference to the offer made to go to CA to interview Ford.

                So I looked into the thing with Berchem and these texts a bit. The SJC received Berchem's statement and summary last Friday, and the FBI also received it last Friday, before the NBC News story was released on this last Monday.

                The NBC story spawned many other stories that are in the headlines still. I'd note that NBC misquotes Kavanaugh, mis-attributes other's quotes to him, uses inaccurate quotes and switches their context, and then based on these things, implies Kavanaugh committed a crime. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but I know the quotes are ****ed, because I looked up every quote in the original source material. Reporters used to do that for you. Regardless if K is the biggest criminal in DC or not, the inaccuracies in that story are just depressing.
                So Grassley, the senile old coot who lied repeatedly during the committee hearing? Forgive me if I don't take his tweets and statements as gospel.


                And, some examples of the Kavanaugh misquotes would be nice.

                  Asked by staff. As in, private interviews, not the committee hearing. See, news reporters can read transcripts too.

                  And during later parts of his testimony, he said those four witnesses, quote, "refuted, REFUTED!!" Blasey Ford's testimony. Not just once, but several times.


                  Got any other Kavanaugh "misquotes" you'd care to share?

                    The article literally says." In now-public transcripts from an interview with Republican Judiciary Committee staff on September 25" which is exactly the transcript I quote from correctly and they do so incorrectly.


                    Sure, there's more in the same article but I'll start with yours as it's so handy. I'm too short on time at the moment to look it up, but I'm really very certain Kavanaugh, never said quote, "refuted, REFUTED!!" during his testimony. The transcripts are online, if you care to find it. Otherwise I'll double check later. I'm also not sure that Kavanaugh isn't using the word refuted, in the legal sense, correctly when he does.

                        So apparently, there have been issues with either alcohol or sexual assault contained in Kavanaugh's previous background checks.

                            Hearing the same thing. Not sure which as the Senator saying so cannot give any details. This would never have came out if the Senate Judiciary Twitter account hadn't lied about it and said there wasn't. Interesting story.

                              Jesus arent some of these Republicans lawyers? (I know Graham is) What the heck are they doing? Once again dont make any statements you cant back up or can be impeached. The mere appearance of impropriety casts a shadow of doubt on everything. You just caught a deep pass and are about to score the game winning TD how about you not spike the ball until you cross the goal line.

                              I swear to god, if i didnt know better I would swear they are trying to tank this.

                                Perhaps they are. Maybe they don't want Kavanaugh and are just trying to make it look like the Dems are doing it to fire up the base for the midterms...

                                Nothing out of the capital surprises me anymore.
