McCarrick, Wuerl, and … just… wow… So at least the Catholic church in DC has decided that one of its university’s deans shouldn’t get a pass when he writes this:
[Julie] Swetnick is 55 y/o. Kavanaugh is 52 y/o. Since when do senior girls hang with freshmen boys? If it happened when Kavanaugh was a senior, Swetnick was an adult drinking with&by her admission, having sex with underage boys. In another universe, he would be victim & she the perp!
In another universe, Chilean priests and monks wouldn’t “[create] their own sick sign language to command the deaf and mute boys to perform oral sex and be sodomized.” Maybe CU’s social justice dean should direct his attention to that.

Honestly, UD, for the sake of your own mental well-being, climb off the Swetnick–McMartin Preschool Crazy Train.

tp: Just saw an extended interview with Swetnick and found her not credible.

Swetnick is a throw-away, and despite the connection to Katz, simply a pawn of Avenatti’s dog-and-pony show, not Dirty Di’s scheme. Given Swetnick’s difficulties with paying taxes and apparent financial troubles, it would be pointless for anyone to sue her for defamation. Her actual accusations against BK and MJ are so vague and she has changed her story so much that even if she lies to the FBI, prosecution would be a waste of time.
The credible thing. I am confronted all the time by “credible” students with tales of woe who are in fact lying through their teeth. I had an especially good one last spring. How could I accuse her of plagiarism? She had never cheated on anything in her whole life. She swore, tearfully, on the grave of her grandfather! On the soul of her little sister!–this was an international student, BTW–that she would never plagiarize anything. Why, if I had not had on my computer screen a copy of her assignment side-by-side with the one she cut and pasted an entire page verbatim from, written four years earlier, I might have believed her. She agreed that yes, the passage was the same as the other one, and yes, it did not quite fit the assignment. You see, she wasn’t sure how to structure her answer (in real life, the structure of the answer was implicit in the topic itself), so she had borrowed the work of a now graduated student, (the assignment forbade looking at anyone else’s work). She must have had that open in one window while working on her paper and then the computer crashed or something and the whole passage then jumped from his assignment to her assignment as a result of a malfunction or something. Although she carefully proofread the 4-page paper she turned in, she did not notice that a whole extra page of material had been inserted.
