Second Kavanaugh Hoaxer, Deborah Ramirez, Refuses to Tell Her “Story” Under Oath to Senate Judiciary Committee, Where She Could Potentially be Liable for Prosecution for Perjury: “Read the New Yorker” … “Thank you for respecting my privacy”

 

“A sign requesting privacy and stating she has no comment is posted outside the home of Deborah Ramirez in Boulder, Colo., Monday Sept. 24, 2018. Judge Brett Kavanaugh says he will "not be intimidated into withdrawing" his nomination for the Supreme Court after allegations of sexual misconduct. Kavanaugh and his first accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, will testify to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday. A second woman, Deborah Ramirez, has told The New Yorker that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her in college. Kavanaugh denies both allegations.”

“A Yale University classmate of Judge Brett Kavanaugh is refusing to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee about her charges of sexual misconduct against him, a panel member said Tuesday.

“Sen. John Kennedy, Louisiana Republican and a panel member, told a gaggle of reporters that a lawyer for Deborah Ramirez told him that she already has told her story to the press.

“‘Our counsel repeatedly tried to reach him,’ Mr. Kennedy said. ‘They finally did reach him, and he said we are not issuing a statement. He said if you want our statement, read the New Yorker.’”

“Ms. Ramirez accused Judge Kavanaugh, according to a story Sunday night in the New Yorker, that the future Supreme Court nominee, flashed his naked genitals on her face during a booze-sodden party.

“Judge Kavanaugh flatly denies the charge, and the New Yorker story has been heavily criticized as thin on corroboration and for an admission that the magazine could not find any witness to confirm that Judge Kavanaugh was even at the party….” [“Kavanaugh accuser Deborah Ramirez refuses to talk to Congress: 'Read the New Yorker'” by Victor Morton, The Washington Times, Tuesday, September 25, 2018.]
 

As Ramirez’ lawyers well know, a newspaper interview is not acceptable as a substitute for sworn testimony under oath, before the Senate Judiciary Committee. I think she just impeached herself as a witness.

“Thank you for respecting my privacy”: I’ll bet Judge Kavanaugh wishes Ramirez had respected his.
