New Accuser Got Settlement for Past Sex Claim, Used Ford Attorney's Firm To Get It
There is new information that ties two of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers together and further throws the left’s intentions into question.
The two biggest accusations against Kavanaugh have been made by Christine Blasey Ford and Julie Swetnick.
Christine Blasey Ford, represented by attorney Debra Katz, claims that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when she was a high school student over 30 years ago.
Julie Swetnick, represented by attorney Michael Avenatti, claims that Kavanaugh participated in gang rapes at around the same time as Ford’s claims.

Kavanaugh responded to the accusations by denying them and claiming they are from “The Twilight Zone.”
“This is ridiculous and from ‘The Twilight Zone.’ I don’t know who this is and this never happened,” Kavanaugh said, according to Fox News.
It turns out that real life can be just as eerie as ‘The Twilight Zone’ as new information has surfaced that ties Ford and Swetnick together.
In 2008, Swetnick filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against her employer, New York Life Insurance Co., The Wall Street Journal reported.
At that time, Swetnick was represented by the law firm ran by Debra Katz, the attorney who is currently representing Ford. The company eventually reached a financial settlement with Swetnick over the claims.

Swetnick’s current attorney, Avenatti, seemed to immediately recognize what this connection looks like and went on CNN to say there is “no coordination whatsoever” between the two cases.
However, anybody with even a tiny dose of healthy skepticism would suspect that there is some sort of coordination going on.
Clearly, Swetnick would have known Ford was represented by Katz before coming forward.
One cannot help but wonder why Swetnick, Avenatti, or Katz never said anything about this connection before.
Are we expected to believe that two women, who both have ties to Katz, independently decided to come forward with 35-year old allegations at the same time without any coordination?
At this point, it seems more likely that this is a deliberately orchestrated attack on Kavanaugh.
Democrats are throwing these accusations at Kavanaugh, attempting to destroy his reputation and jeopardizing his family because they do not want him on the Supreme Court.
The left’s willingness to use sexual assault as a political weapon only enables this kind of orchestrated attack.
In interview transcripts from Tuesday published by the Senate Judiciary Committee, Kavanaugh describes the situation perfectly.
“This is crazy town. It’s a smear campaign.”
