'Powerful senators won't believe me': New violent and explicit accusation surfaces against Brett Kav

Source: Rawstory

The Senate Judiciary Committee posted a letter from an individual. Kavanaugh was asked about the evening prior to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony last week. The individual’s name was censored, but the content is violent and disturbing.
SPONSORED

“Kavanaugh and a friend offered me a ride home,” the person wrote in her letter. “I don’t know the other boy’s name. I was in his car to go home. His friend was behind me in the backseat. Kavanaugh kissed me forcefully. I told him I only wanted a ride home. Kavanaugh continued to grope me over my clothes, forcing his kisses on me and putting his hand under my sweater. ‘No,’ I yelled at him.”

The source said that the boy in the backseat reached around and put his hand over the source’s mouth and held her to keep her in the car.

“I screamed into his hand. Kavanaugh continued his forcing himself on me,” the source continued. “He pulled up my sweater and bra exposing my breasts, and reached into my panties, inserting his fingers into my vagina. My screams were silenced by the boy in the backseat covering my mouth and groping me as well.”

The accuser then said that Kavanaugh slapped her and told her to be quiet before forcing her to perform oral sex on him.

“He climaxed in my mouth. They forced me to go into the backseat and took turns raping me several times each,” the source said. “They dropped me off two blocks from my home. ‘No one will believe if you tell. Be a good girl,’ he told me.”

It's totally understandable that someone making a claim this serious knows their life will be turned completely upside down if they go public or talk to the FBI. It's a very brave thing to do, even anonymously.

Relentless media exposure (public and social), death threats for months (both to family and friends), not to mention the embarrassment of "coming out" after this long to her family. And, when it involves a Republican, the torture will be life-long because they never forgive criticism of another Republican.

Knowing how brutal the internet is for finding anonymous people, I would be reluctant to say anything considering my age and health.

Mon Oct 1, 2018, 11:37 PM
Oct 2018

There's no need within the context of the letter to ascribe "Powerful" as a descriptor for "Senators". We know they're powerful. It's a given. So the use of the adjective begs us to imagine a time when Senators weren't powerful? No. This was a contrived piece of deception. It's a summoning from the rabbit hole.

The allegation is phony, IMO. I wish it weren't.

First, victims usually avoid such explicit descriptions. It just doesn't sound authentic.

Second, I believe BK when he says he was a virgin through high school and into college. He comes across as an insecure bully, desperate to establish his macho creds with his mates, but lacking the animal drive for an all out rape, or the maturity to form a real relationship with a female. He was, and still is, pure bluster. Women are a prop used to convince other men of his manliness. Actual sex with those girls was never part of his game plan.

Lotta arrogance in that statement. I pray you never find out how wrong it is.

Here's a clue, when you are scared you may not live to see the next ten minutes, you do what you have to in order to stay alive. Not everyone has Rambo/Bruce Lee level hand to hand combat skills to fight their way out of a car with two assailants. (I've seen women out there that don't even know how to make a fist--let alone fight off two assailants.) I've been in personal defense classes where I've heard women say that they do not believe in hurting anyone--ever.

As for that cop, he was a first responder in a high profile assault case locally. Imagine what that poor victim must have felt to have been violated by her attackers then violated a second time by some dumbass pig of a patrol cop who thought he was some kind of genius to make a joke like that. I chewed on my own city council member than went to the local city council and threw a fit for the rest of them.

I believe all the accusers who have come out so far. It’s just that this particular account doesn’t ring true. There was no slapping in the Ford testimony, for instance. And “Be a good girl and don’t tell” sounds like something from a TV drama rather than real life.

Also, RawStory has a miserable track record.

A lot of it is his wealthy white-bread entitlement, but steroid use would explain the quantum leap he seems to exhibit. If this is true, he deserves to have his life completely ruined to the point of living under and overpass in a refrigerator box and begging for nickels. Sick fucker!

On the other hand, it's not terribly different from the things he's been accused of that I do believe. So, I don't know. And it's not my job to know--I hope the FBI investigates.

If the person is real she needs to either go to the FBI, the police, or to a reporter who will keep her identify confidential.

But an anonymous complaint vetted by no one shouldn't be taken seriously. (And that's not even getting into the details, some of which are hard to believe, e.g., "They forced me to go into the backseat and took turns raping me several times each.” Several times each?)

With no name attached, it sounds like fan fiction. Anyone can write a letter. It could be RWs baiting us: the libs believe anything! So far, Blasey and Ramirez are enough for me. And I believe Swetnick that Judge Brew-die and his sidekick went to those parties, but her statements about what they did at them are too vague to mean much without more backup. The parties sound not that different than the parties Trump would boast about where there were girls, "some of them very young."

2. Could be bogus...from someone from the left. Someone who believes Dr. Ford ..hoping to bolster the case against him. Yet, if bogus...why make it so horrific.

3. Could be bogus from the right? If yes, they were trying to make it so over the top that no one would believe? Can't see how it could advance the cause. How could anyone prove it wasn't true?
