On 21 January 2024
the Washington Post published a dishonest "hit piece" article entitled;
Takeaways
from Sundance’s secret Brett Kavanaugh documentary
The article is about the Amy
Herdy produced documentary “Justice” that she recently premiered at the
Sundance Film Festival. The film is about the sexual assault allegations
against Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.
This
Washington Post (WaPo) article was extremely dishonest and just accepted
everything Ms. Herdy put in her “hit piece” as if they were hearing it from a Burning
Bush even though most of it had been thoroughly debunked previously by many
credible news sources including their own Washington Post as well as the New
York Times and Politico. The author of this piece of crap is Jada
Yuan who at least honestly identifies
herself as a “writer,” Most WaPo hacks go around masquerading as “journalists” or
“reporters.”
Read this WaPo story for
yourself at this link and then read the truth at the below links and see for
yourself how dishonest this documentary is but so is the WaPo person reviewing
it.

When I put the below well
documented comment in the WaPo Comments section for the article, the WaPo
censors removed it claiming: “This commenter has been removed by a
moderator for violating our community guidelines.”
Here is EXACTLY what I posted that was so “offensive”
to the WaPo censors:
====================
Beginning of WaPo Comment ===================
“Justice” has all the historical accuracy of Oliver Stone’s “JFK” with none of the box office
appeal.
The WaPo thoroughly discredited both Ford’s
and Ramirez’s stories.

While Politico destroyed everything Ramirez
said and the New York Times wouldn’t even publish it.

Suggest
you read “The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation” by New York Times
reporters Kate Kelly and Robin Pogrebin. These two ultra-Liberal NYT reporters
thoroughly discredit every unfounded allegation against Justice Kavanaugh. Here
was their bottom line according to the NYT:
“Pogrebin
and Kelly spend significant time digging into Blasey Ford’s accusations and
also those of Deborah Ramirez, a woman who says Kavanaugh put his penis in her
face at a Yale college party. They tracked down any witnesses and friends
willing to talk, combed through legal documents, and did their best to find the
house where Blasey Ford says the assault took place. They pointed out critical
witnesses that the F.B.I., in its very limited investigation, did not have time
to interview. In the end they turned up no smoking gun, no secret confession,
no friend who came forth to say Kavanaugh was lying all this time.”

End of WaPo Comment ===================
Here is how each accusations was
debunked in detail and each “accuser” exposed as a liar as captured in the Wikipedia
entry on the subject. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_Kavanaugh
Sexual assault allegations
Christine Blasey Ford
In early
July 2018, Kavanaugh's name was on a shortlist of nominees for the Supreme
Court. Christine Blasey Ford, a psychology
professor at Palo Alto University, contacted a Washington Post tipline and her U.S.
Representative, Anna Eshoo, with accusations that Kavanaugh had
sexually assaulted her when they were in high school. On July 30, 2018,
Ford wrote to Senator Dianne
Feinstein to inform her of her accusation against Kavanaugh, requesting
that it be kept confidential. After
a September 12 report in The Intercept,
Feinstein confirmed that a complaint had been made against Kavanaugh by a woman
who had requested not to be identified. Feinstein said that the woman had
claimed that, when they were both in high school, Kavanaugh had tried to force
himself on her while she was being physically restrained. The same day,
Feinstein said she had forwarded the woman's accusation to federal authorities.
On
September 16, Ford publicized her allegations and claimed Kavanaugh had
sexually assaulted her when she was 15 and he was 17. She said that in the
early 1980s, Kavanaugh and Mark Judge, one of Kavanaugh's friends from Georgetown
Prep, corralled her in a bedroom at a house party in Maryland and turned up the
music playing in the room. According to Ford, Kavanaugh pinned her to the bed,
groped her, ground against her, tried to pull off her clothes, and covered her
mouth with his hand when she tried to scream. Ford said she was afraid
that Kavanaugh might inadvertently kill her during the attack, and
believed he was going to rape her. Ford
stated that she escaped when Judge jumped on the bed, knocking them all to the
floor.
Kavanaugh
issued the following statement through the White House: "I categorically
and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school
or at any time." Republicans criticized the decision to withhold
"a vague, anonymous accusation for months" before releasing it on the
"eve of [Kavanaugh's] confirmation" as an attempt to delay his
confirmation hearings. Kavanaugh released a statement on the evening
before his and Ford's scheduled testimony before the Senate Judiciary
Committee. He said that due to the serious nature of the allegations, both he
and Ford deserved to be heard. He also stated, "I am innocent of this
charge."
On
September 19, the Senate Judiciary Committee invited Kavanaugh and Ford to
testify about the allegation. Kavanaugh agreed to testify on September 19. Ford
requested that the FBI investigate the
matter first, but Judiciary Committee chair Chuck
Grassley declined the request, and gave Ford a deadline of
September 21 to inform the committee whether she intended to testify. He added
that Ford was welcome to appear before the committee privately or publicly. On
September 20, Ford's attorney opened negotiations with the committee to
reschedule the hearing under "terms that are fair and which ensure her
safety". A bipartisan Judiciary Committee panel and Ford's
representatives agreed to a hearing after September 24.
Ford
stated that Leland Ingham Keyser, a lifelong friend, was present at the party
where the alleged assault took place. On September 22, Keyser stated through
her attorney that she did not know Kavanaugh and had no memory of the party or
a sexual assault. The attorney did confirm that Keyser was a friend of Ford's, and
Keyser told The Washington Post that she believed Ford's allegation.
On
October 4, 2018, the White House announced that it had found no corroboration
of Ford's allegation after reviewing the FBI's latest probe into Kavanaugh's
past. Her attorneys tweeted, "Those directing the FBI investigation
were not interested in seeking the truth."
In
September 2019, New York Times reporters Kate Kelly and Robin Pogrebin published The
Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation. They reported that Keyser
"thought the whole setup Ford described ... sounded wrong", and that
she "challenged Ford's accuracy", quoting Keyser as saying, "I
don't have any confidence in the story". According
to The Washington Post, the book revealed that "Keyser also said she
spoke with many people who 'wanted me to remember something
different'—suggesting that there was pressure on her to toe the line [against
Kavanaugh]".
Deborah Ramirez
On
September 23, 2018, Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer of The New
Yorker published an article with another sexual assault
allegation against Kavanaugh. Deborah Ramirez, who attended Yale University
with Kavanaugh, alleged he exposed himself to
her and thrust his penis against her face after they had both been drinking at
a college party during the 1983–84 academic year. Kavanaugh said, "This
alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen." The New Yorker spoke
to four classmates, three identified as eyewitnesses but all denied witnessing
the event. The New York Times interviewed several dozen of Ramirez's
classmates in an attempt to corroborate her story, and could find no firsthand
witnesses to the alleged assault, but several classmates recalled that they had
heard about it in the subsequent days and believed Ramirez. According
to The New York Times, "Ramirez herself told the press and friends
that, initially, she was not absolutely certain it was Kavanaugh who assaulted
her, but after corresponding with friends who had secondhand knowledge of the
incident, and taking time to refresh her recollection, stated that she was
certain Kavanaugh was her assailant." The
Washington Post analyzed Ramirez's allegation and concluded,
"Ramirez's accusation has the dual distinction of having more potential
corroboration and less actual corroboration than Ford's".
Julie Swetnick
Michael
Avenatti, the lawyer representing Stormy
Daniels in her suit against Trump,
tweeted on September 23, 2018, that he represented a woman who had
"credible information" about Kavanaugh and Judge. Avenatti said his
client would be willing to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. On
September 26, Avenatti revealed the woman to be Julie Swetnick, a former
government employee. In a sworn statement, Swetnick described attending "well
over ten house parties in the Washington, D.C. area during the years 1981–1983
where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present". She described being
aware of "efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to 'spike' the
'punch' at house parties I attended with drugs and/or grain alcohol so as to
cause girls to lose their inhibitions and their ability to say 'No'". In
an interview with NBC News, Swetnick clarified that she didn't actually witness
Kavanaugh or Judge spike any drinks. Kavanaugh called her allegations
"ridiculous" and Avenatti's allegation as a whole a
"farce". The Wall Street Journal reported that it had
contacted "dozens" of her former classmates and colleagues but failed
to reach anyone with knowledge of her allegations and that none of her friends
had come forward publicly to support her claims. Grassley referred both
Swetnick and Avenatti to the Justice Department for criminal investigation
regarding claims that the two engaged in "conspiracy, false statements and
obstruction of Congress". Avenatti was later convicted of tax
evasion, extortion, fraud, embezzlement, wire fraud, and obstruction of the
Internal Revenue Service in multiple trials unrelated to the Kavanaugh
allegation.
Judy Munro-Leighton
On
September 19, Judy Munro-Leighton accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault in an
anonymous letter signed "Jane Doe", which was addressed to Grassley but mailed to
Senator Kamala Harris. On September 26, the Senate
committee interrogated Kavanaugh about this accusation. Kavanaugh called the
accusation "ridiculous". On
November 1, Munro-Leighton talked to committee staff members. During the
conversation she changed her story, denying that she had penned the anonymous
letter and saying she had contacted Congress as "a ploy" to "get
attention". On November 2, Grassley announced Munro-Leighton's
identity, and described her accusations as fabricated. She was referred to
the Department of Justice and FBI for making false accusations and obstructing justice.
