Bill Cassidy Calls for Criminal Investigation into Kavanaugh Accuser

Senator Bill Cassidy has called for an investigation by the FBI/Justice Department into the "false affidavit" given by Judge Brett Kavanaugh's third accuser, Julie Swetnick.

Sen. Cassidy has suggested a criminal referral for the case saying that the statement signed by Swetnick that was submitted to the Senate by sleazy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti was "false."

Swetnick accused the judge of sexual misconduct, claiming to have witnessed him running a "gang-rape ring" when he was 15 and that she saw him drug and rape girls with his friends at parties during the early 1980s.

Since coming forward, major plot holes have emerged in her story, with it becoming clear to everyone, bar a few unhinged liberals, that she has fabricated the claims.

A criminal referral should be sent to the FBI/DOJ regarding the apparently false affidavit signed by Julie Swetnick that was submitted to the Senate by @MichaelAvenatti.

Now as the allegations are falling apart, Senator Cassidy is calling for action to be taken for the devastation caused to Brett Kavanaugh and the integrity of the Supreme Court.

According to the Epoch Times, Swetnick initially alleged that she saw Kavanaugh conducting sexual misconduct in the 1980s in a sworn statement sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

However, NBC News’s Kate Snow noticed that Swetnick changed her story during an interview with MSNBC.

“There are things that she told us on camera that differ from her written statement [to the Senate Judiciary Committee] last week,” Snow said.

Kavanaugh denied Swetnick’s accusation strongly.

On Sept. 30, Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz also called on the FBI to investigate Swetnick’s affidavit “thoroughly.”

“Swetnick affidavit should be thoroughly investigated by the FBI and her alleged witnesses named and questioned,” Dershowitz said in a Twitter post, “If perjured, there should be consequences.”

Dershowitz also renounces the attacks on Kavanaugh, labeling the “possibly false accusations” as being injudicious.

He worries that this will “encourage false accusations as a tactic against controversial nominees of both parties.”

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has already referred a Rhode Island man for criminal investigation for allegedly making false statements to the committee regarding Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh on Sept. 29.

“Such acts are not only unfair; they are potentially illegal,” Grassley wrote in a letter (pdf) to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Chris Wray.

FBI Investigation not Expanded

During an interview with Fox News, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who is also a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, clarified that the FBI investigation with Kavanaugh was not expanded.

Senate Judiciary Committee has requested the FBI to interview three named witness in Christine Ford’s accusation against Kavanaugh, including Patrick James ‘PJ’ Smyth, Leland Keyser, and Mark Judge.

The FBI was also requested to interview Deborah Ramirez, another accuser.

The committee required the FBI to finish the interviews in a week.

“A week, once the FBI has done their interviews, they will send it back to the Senate. They won’t further interview,” Graham told Fox News.

“That’s it. Do within a week, report back to the Senate and we will move forward.”

The Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said the full Senate vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation will happen by Oct. 6, the Epoch Times reported.

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted on Sept. 25 to advance Kavanaugh out of the committee and toward a full Senate vote, but Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) asked for a one-week FBI investigation into the allegation, a request agreed to by McConnell and other Republican leaders.

The confirmation process has taken months, starting with most senators meeting privately with President Donald Trump’s nominee, followed by a week of public hearings.
