Was there "sexual license" at the huge Georgetown Prep parties Kavanaugh attended in the 1980s, as Julie Swetnick alleged? Well, here's what the headmasters at GP and other area prep schools wrote, per The Washington Post, at the end of the 1980s. (h/t DM) washingtonpost.com/archive/local/…
2/ Kavanaugh was a blackout drunk football bro who partied every weekend in high school and was a weekday drinker over (at least) the summers. He was *exactly* the sort of guy who created a culture so dangerous it raised alarms across *seven school populations*. Think about that.
3/ Read the above, then re-read Swetnick's allegations and remember she's been trusted with multiple security clearances. The strength of her claims explains Republicans' decision to ignore her claims of sexual assault because they don't like her attorney. google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc…
4/ Here's Julie Swetnick's full *sworn* statement, which precisely describes the partying culture implied by concerned DC-area headmasters at the end of the 80s, but which Kavanaugh *under oath* denied and has called "the Twilight Zone" (bizarre fantasy). cnbc.com/2018/09/26/rea…
5/ The "rare joint effort" those headmasters launched in the 80s and "the fact that 7 schools decided it was enough of a problem to address it is significant" confirms a pattern spoken to by even Kavanaugh's friends: he lied under oath about the party cultures he was a part of.
6/ The number of perjuries that disqualify a prospective SCOTUS Justice is *one*—and we should all be clear in saying it doesn't make it *better* if it's a wanton, needless lie on an ancillary subject, it makes it *worse*. Kavanaugh's reckless perjuries should end his candidacy.
7/ How *bad* did 1980s Georgetown Prep (&c) parties have to get in terms of "fights" and "sexual license" for The Washington Post to be publishing claims of the very real "potential for tragedy"? Answer: likely bad enough tragedies were already happening, as kids there well knew.
8/ Kavanaugh could've told a story of personal growth—such that by the 90s he was only engaged in political dirty tricks, by the 00s only receiving stolen Congressional docs, and by the 10s only picking clerks based on their looks—but instead he perjured himself across the board.
9/ Kavanaugh says he didn't have sex at GP parties; GP and other headmasters say sex was happening; Kavanaugh was an irresponsible drunk; Swetnick says she didn't see Kavanaugh have sex but knows he *spiked drinks at GP parties* with alcohol. All those stories are *in alignment*.
10/ If you believe Julie Swetnick's sworn statement about Brett Kavanaugh, made after years of receiving security clearances and with no evident benefit to her whatsoever, please retweet my pinned tweet (the first tweet in this thread). Swetnick's story deserves to be heard. /end
PS/ I also hope everyone reading this thread will call out people on Twitter when they attack or try to discredit a sexual assault survivor like Julie Swetnick because they happen not to like her lawyer. That's not how our system of justice works, and people need to be told that.
