When it comes to evidence against Brett Kavanaugh, new accuser Julie Swetnick has come up short. But the evidence that her lawyer Michael Avenatti is full of sh*t is overwhelming:
.@jaketapper to AVENATTI: Is your client claiming that Kavanaugh raped her?
AVENATTI: I'm not going to have any further comment on that specific allegation

Because of course.

And then there’s this:
Avenatti just refused to say when he first spoke to his new client. "Within the last month."
Jake Tapper asks, "Was it before or after Ford's allegation?"
Avenatti: "I honestly don't know."

CNN @jaketapper asks Avenatti: Did client Swetnick contact you before or after the Christine Ford allegation came out? Avenatti: 'It was in the last month.' But before or after Ford allegation? Avenatti: 'I don't know.'

What lawyer doesn’t know that?

Uh…. after maybe. What a sleaze bucket

"I can't remember if something happened in the last two weeks but please believe this uncorroborated story from 35 years ago" is….a big ask. https://t.co/jHYEDk0isA

Oh well. If Swetnick’s case crumbles, at least Avenatti got his TV time, right? And that’s what really matters.

Avenatti is a two bit hustler …. nothing more

Some parting food for thought:
Observation from the entire Kavanaugh thing – media-hungry lawyers do immense damage to the credibility of accusers. A lot of the anger at these women is the result of stuff their lawyers said and/or did.

Update:
Tapper went off on Avenatti for the "egregious lack of specificity" in the sworn declaration in saying Kavanaugh was "present"
— Peter J. Hasson (@peterjhasson) September 26, 2018
Good for Jake Tapper.
Watch below:
Video: @JakeTapper calls out @MichaelAvenatti for his "really egregious lack of specificity" and refusing to to say under firm questioning whether Swetnick thinks Kavanaugh raped her -> "I'm not going to have any further comment on that specific allegation." Unreal. pic.twitter.com/UGNYreQ2LV
