The New York Times has uncovered a new allegation of sexual assault against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly wrote in a Saturday op-ed that in the midst of their research for their forthcoming book about Kavanaugh, they had discovered a previously unreported allegation of sexual misconduct against the Supreme Court justice.

According to the reporters, Yale student Max Stier had witnessed Kavanaugh, a freshman at the time, pull down his pants at a dorm party. Kavanaugh’s friends then pushed his penis into an unnamed female classmate’s hand, Stier said.

Stier reportedly told senators and the FBI about the incident during the investigation into the then-Supreme Court justice nominee last year after Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford and Deborah Ramirez accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.

The FBI did not investigate Stier’s account, according to Pogrebin and Kelly.

  1. This should qualify him to be Chief Justice of SCOTUS.

    It should disqualify him from being on any court. Impeach the MFer

  3. Is this the same FBI that Trump has run down?

  4. Let me take this moment to say that Chris Coons was a dunce to have given Jeff Flake and the GOP cover when they called for a delay in the vote to have this sham FBI investigation which bought them time to get aligned. Mitch did not have the votes on the floor and called the vote prematurely because he was pissed off at the pressure the Dems had put on them.

    Just as time was running out, Flake offered the FBI probe idea and got Coons’ backing which gave them cover. Rod Rosenstein, an alum of the Starr chamber days w/Kavanaugh, brokered and arranged the whole sham investigation. He landed the plane. That’s the reason Barr gave Rosenstein that send off when he left the DOJ.

    Had the Dems not gone along with any bad faith GOP games, Mitch would’ve either let the vote go forward, which he would have lost. Or, he would’ve pulled the vote and would’ve had to admit that he didn’t have the votes on the floor (perhaps a worse result). The FBI investigation cooled the political temperature and allowed the WH/Mitch to get to wavering Senators.

    I said this at the time, and I’m (sadly) vindicated a year later.

  5. You can yell and cry, Brett. You can stomp your feet and you can run upstairs and slam the door to your room, if you want. But you knew this would happen, you arrogant bastard. You did this to your family by having no shame, you privileged rich fuck. Don’t whine to the whole country like the crybaby you are, and don’t talk to the vast majority of men who wouldn’t dream of doing that kind of thing, who treated women like human beings and friends when they were growing up and when they actually attained adulthood. We’re looking at you silently right now and our looks are not friendly. We all know women who’ve been abused. But you didn’t get away with it, did you? Not if your reputation matters, buddy. Not if you care about that look of shame and doubt we saw on your wife’s face. What you do comes back. I’ve seen it over and over. The rotten people, the bullies, the advantage-takers don’t win forever.
