Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. New York Times are guilty as Hell.
What in the world is going on here? What ever happened to modesty and decency?
The left tried to put Kavanaugh in the gutter during his initial hearing and the 2020 candidates are now chiming in with the New York Times (NYT). The liberal candidates are left holding the bag while the NYT is backing down on their story since the main characters have no recollection of the fake story.
After the final Kavanaugh hearing, my recollection was that Senator Grassley stated, “the people who LIED to the Committee will be brought to justice.” Since then he has moved on and Senator Lindsey Graham is the NEW CHAIR.
The Senate should do something to keep this lying to the Committee from happening in these hearings like jail time and a stiff fine to any person who has lied (small or large lie).
That is why this is continuing because people get by with smearing people over and over and nothing happens.
Where do we stand?
Again, lying to congressional staff about an official matter they are investigating and deliberately obstructing a congressional investigation are both felonies, even when the intentionally misleading statements are not made under oath.
So why doesn’t the government charge the NYT with a felony? If nothing else – HEAVILY FINE THEM.

New York Times quietly corrects its outrageous smear of Justice Kavanaugh

Another spurious Kavanaugh smear proves the depravity of the left
By Patricia McCarthy
Each time we think the left can stoop no lower into the gutter of the politics of personal destruction, they prove us wrong and descend further into yet another of Dante’s circles of hell. And who is right there leading the charge? The New York Times, perhaps the most despicable news outlet on the planet, and long ago re-formulated into an arm of the DNC intent upon foisting their particular agenda upon the masses. Keep in mind that they have nothing but contempt for said masses whom they believe to be dumber than rocks and so easily led down the destructive path of socialism. So how stupid do they think we are with their latest story, a smear on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh? How stupid could we be, really, that we would fall for another fabricated allegation of sexual impropriety by a man they already put through the wringer? This time, they’ve thrown out to us an allegation that even the supposed “victim” does not recall.
There are not words that adequately express the noxious corruption of these craven people: Kavanaugh’s original accuser, during his confirmation hearings, was Christine Blasey-Ford. Her accusations and the subsequent circus of hearings during which three of those people running for the presidency and every other Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee behaved like fourth-grade bullies, were a disgrace of monumental proportions.
The whole thing was entirely false from the outset, conceived and mounted by a sleazy group of leftist activists to prevent a decent man from being confirmed, not because he did anything wrong, but because, as it later came out, they feared the undoing of Roe v. Wade.
They did it earlier to nominee Robert Bork and won; they lost when they did it to Clarence Thomas, to this day a national treasure on the SCOTUS as was Antonin Scalia. The same bunch of retrogrades has again attempted to see Justice Kavanaugh impeached and destroyed in the face of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s imminent retirement and the coming appointment of a new Justice by President Trump.

One of Kavanaugh’s Late Accusers Is Referred for Prosecution for Lying
WASHINGTON, DC – SEPTEMBER 27: Judge Brett Kavanaugh testifies to the Senate Judiciary Committee during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill September 27, 2018 in Washington, DC. Kavanaugh was called back to testify about claims by Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused …

The Senate Judiciary Committee made a criminal referral Saturday for the Rhode Island man who claimed Judge Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted his friend on a boat in 1985, asking that he be prosecuted for lying to Congress.
In a letter, Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) asks Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray that the accuser, whose name was redacted, be investigated for “potential violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001 and 1505, for materially false statements [he] made to the Committee as part of its investigation of allegations against Judge Kavanaugh.”
The accuser’s name has been redacted in all Senate documents since this allegation first became public with the release of a transcript from Kavanaugh’s Monday conference call under penalty of felony, in which he cateogorically denied it. Journalists, however, were quickly able to find the social media account referenced along with the allegation. The account identified itself as “Jeffrey Catalan” and had been used to make calls for President Donald Trump to be overthrown by a military coup and accusations the president had murdered someone in 1983. The account describes its owner as a “Graphic Artist, Artist, photography and writer. Hippie, First Responder, Father and Grandpa” from Tiverton, Rhode Island.
The Jeffrey Catalan account promptly retracted the allegation Wednesday night, claiming he made “a mistake” when he claimed a 20-year-old Judge Kavanuagh sexually assaulted a woman on a boat and that he then severely beat Kavanaugh for it. Grassley’s Saturday letter references this retraction, confirming the identification of the accuser as “Jeffrey Catalan,” although, because of the redaction, it is still not clear if that is the man’s real name.
“Catalan,” referred to as a “Rhode Island constituent,” called Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s (D-RI) office on Monday morning. He claimed that in Newport, Rhode Island, in August of 1985, he and a friend had confronted two other men named “Brett and Mark” and gave them a beating that left Brett and Mark with severe injuries. They, according to the call, had gone down to find Brett and Mark by the pier because an unnamed female friend told them she had been sexually assaulted by the pair on a boat after meeting them at a local bar.
Catalan claimed he knew that “Brett,” the man he severely beat 33 years ago, was Judge Kavanaugh after seeing Kavanaugh’s high school yearbook photo on the news jogged his memory.
Whitehouse’s office considered the allegation credible enough to pass it on to the Judiciary Committee as a whole, leading committee staff to question Kavanaugh over the alleged incident later on Monday. Whitehouse himself, as is clear from a letter to the committee released Saturday, also sent the allegation to the FBI and gave the accuser a contact of his in the media to help break the story.
As with the at least four other accusations of sexual misconduct for which the Judiciary Committee has investigated Kavanaugh, the judge flatly denied it occurred. “I was not in Newport, haven’t been on a boat in Newport. Not with Mark Judge on a boat, nor all those three things combined. This is just completely made up, or at least not me. I don’t know what they’re referring to,” he told committee investigators.
With Catalan’s retraction, it was clear enough to Grassley that the man had likely lied to Senator Whitehouse. Lying to congressional staff about an official matter they are investigating and deliberately obstructing a congressional investigation are both felonies, even when the intentionally misleading statements are not made under oath.
“The Committee is grateful to citizens who come forward with relevant information in good faith, even if they are not one hundred percent sure about what they know,” Grassley wrote in his letter. “But when individuals provide fabricated allegations to the Committee, diverting Committee resources during time-sensitive investigations, it materially impedes our work. Such acts are not only unfair; they are potentially illegal.”
Where do we stand on these people who lied. Can Senator Graham update us since he is now the chair of the Committee?
