Recognizing that his 10,000-word essay was potentially “a lot” for some consumers, Nathan J. Robinson, editor-in-chief of Current Affairs magazine, has created a video version with the same title – “How We Know Kavanaugh Is Lying” – for those who might find it easier to digest.
Robinson first published his essay on Saturday, after the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, but the video version was posted online Monday evening.
If you have 15 minutes and want to hear a good explanation of why Kavanaugh proved himself a liar whereas Ford came out of her testimony more credible than even before she went in, watch this:
As numerous observers and lawmakers have now pointed out, if it’s shown definitively that Kavanaugh lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee while under oath, that would be a clear case of perjury and “disqualifying” for a nominee seeking a lifetime seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. Indeed, as Sen. Bernie Sanders declared Monday night, if Kavanaugh lied about anything that would be a federal crime.

I write about wrongful convictions. I try to be very cautious about drawing conclusions about people’s guilt or innocence based on demeanor. So forget his blubbering: That man really sat there and said “Renate Alumnus” was meant to “show affection” and that “she was one of us.”

And Kavanaugh signed the letter “FFFFF, Bart.” In Judge’s memoir, there’s a story about a “Bart O’Kavanaugh” vomiting and passing out. Asked under oath if he’s the Bart in the memoir, Kavanaugh said, “You’d have to ask him.”

He signed his Beach Week letter “Bart.”

Asked whether his yearbook entry discusses drinking and sexual exploits, Kavanaugh responds that he was number one in his class, played basketball, football, did service projects, and helped disabled kids. Leahy tells him, “You don’t have to filibuster.”

Would you want Mark Judge to be here as a witness?
He’s already provided statement, Kavanaugh answers.
— MJ Lee (@mj_lee) September 27, 2018
Judge has since reportedly been interviewed by the FBI – now that he knows from Kavanaugh’s testimony what the corroborating answers are.

Asked if these are his words on his yearbook page, Kavanaugh says they submitted things to the editors, and “I don’t know if they changed things or not,” but he won’t contest it.

Media is missing the main point here. He signed this letter “FFFFF, Bart.” Shows he lied about what “FFFFFourth of July” meant. Not a reference to a stuttering friend. It means “find em French em finger em f_ck em forget em.” The signature shows it is an acronym.

This is true, this is what FFFFF means.
