Tom Cotton Proves Brett Kavanaugh Lied Under Oath

I’d like to thank Tom Cotton for unequivocally establishing that Brett Kavanaugh committed perjury during testimony for his nomination to the United States Supreme Court.

If you recall, During his second hearing, after the accusations of sexual assault came to light, Brett came out swinging with his “Clarence Thomas high-tech lynching gambit.” He claimed it was a big left-wing conspiracy run by the Clintons, saying:

“This whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit fueled with apparent pent-up anger about President Trump and the 2016 election, fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record, revenge on behalf of the Clintons and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups.”

So, note he testifies under oath it’s all about the Clinton’s seeking revenge.

Enter the ever so brilliant Senator Tom Harken (R-Ark). According to an article on MSNBC, Cotton appears on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show yesterday playing a little “six-degrees-of-separation” game and blamed it all on Chuck Schumer and a bunch of people not connected to the Clinton’s:

“Hugh, I believe the Schumer political operation was behind this from the very beginning. We learned last week that a woman named Monica McLean was Ms. Ford’s roommate, and she was one of the so-called beach friends who encouraged Ms. Ford to go to Dianne Feinstein and the partisan Democrats on the Judiciary Committee.

“Well, it just turns out, it just so happens that Monica McLean worked for a Preet Bharara, the former U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, now a virulent anti-Trump critic on television and former counsel to Chuck Schumer. So I strongly suspect that Chuck Schumer’s political operation knew about Ms. Ford’s allegations as far back as July and manipulated the process all along….”

Let’s start with how, right out of the gate those are some pretty tenuous connections, but as you might expect, most of his claims simply aren’t true. The Washington Post decided a little fact-checking was in order, and they came up with this:

“Not a whiff of evidence shows that McLean conspired with Bharara or Schumer or both to leak details about Ford’s letter. Contrary to what Cotton said, McLean never worked for Bharara. McLean left the FBI’s New York field office in 2009; Bharara was U.S. attorney from 2009 to 2017. Bharara and McLean both say they don’t know each other.”

“A few minutes of simple research would have set things straight for Cotton. Bharara had tweeted four days before Cotton’s interview that McLean “never worked for me,” and it’s an elementary fact that U.S. attorneys don’t supervise FBI agents. (Senators should know that kind of stuff.)”

But, since you know that Senator Cotton would never tell a lie, that means it was a Schumer operation and not a Clinton operation. So thank you, Tom, for proving that Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath in his testimony before the Senate.
