Josh missed this bit of news, wonder why?
Friday US Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley referred Judy Munro-Leighton to the Justice Department and the FBI for potential prosecution for making false statements to the Committee.

Ms. Munro-Leighton was one of the women who piled on with claims of sexual assault by Brett Kavanaugh iSupreme Court confirmation hearing. She claimed in an Oct. 3 email to the committee that Mr. Kavanaugh and a friend “sexually assaulted and raped me in his car.” Justice Kavanaugh denied it and Ms. Munro-Leighton conceded on Nov. 1 that she made it all up.

In a letter to the FBI and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Mr. Grassley says that, under questioning from Judiciary staff, Ms. Munro-Leighton conceded she made the false accusations because she “just wanted to get attention.” She said, “I was angry, and I sent it out.” This follows Mr. Grassley’s earlier referral to Justice concerning false statements by Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick and attorney Michael Avenatti.



Who would not want Ms. Munro-Leighton  prosecuted for the damage she has done—and to deter other attention-getters who think they can make false accusations to stoke a political mob in the media and U.S. Senate.?

Damn. That woman should be prosecuted for preventing poor Justice Kavanaugh from ascending to the Supreme Court... oh, wait.

Y’all motherfuckers won! Why y’all still bitching and moaning?

Shut the fuck up about Brett Kavanaugh and just take the fucking win.

I certainly would like her tried. If she is found guilty, I hope they throw the book at her. (But given the lies told in this process by the GOP, I doubt the truth is their goal.)

That only leaves three credible women with witnesses that were not interviewed by the FBI.

Speaking of things not being mentioned here by certain posters.

I did miss it - I don't read the WSJ, except on (relevant) class days, and mostly not then because of the paywall.

But that wasn't the news story, anyway. It was OPINION. I did read and even post the related news story!

[kiidcarter8]

You really should be using more well rounded sources

Fox had it

Just using the CNN/NBC  sites, are ya?

[kiidcarter8]

This is what makes Fox better ("we report, you decide")

They carried just about the entire Oprah speech - and have used air time on Obama's campaigning

CNN meanwhile uses just clips of Trump when they want to make a negative point about it.

The American Civil War didn't end and Trump is a Confederate President

Rebecca Solnit? LOL!
....
Rebecca Solnit is a bigot.
If she is a role model for you then your idiotic postings have to be understood in that context.
Which the room long ago figured out.
I think you are best understood under the umbrella of fremdschämen

What you mean by "the room, " Kemo Sabe?

I can tell you badly want to get ahold of Ms Solnit and do some MANSPLAINING.

WHILE you're at it,  who is the NCAAP?  And what are the precise numbers on that soaring approval rating?

It might seem far-fetched that over a third of African Americans would now approve of a president with a very long history of racial insensitivity — especially because fewer than 10 percent of black voters supported him in 2016.

That’s because it is far-fetched.  Trump’s black approval rating is nowhere near 36 percent.

Polling firms that have interviewed far more African Americans, and that are much more transparent than Rasmussen, all show that Trump’s black approval rating is much lower than 36 percent.

For example, Gallup has interviewed thousands of African American respondents in 2018. Its polling suggests that Trump’s black approval rating has consistently been around 10 to 15 percent through 2018.

 

Similarly, the polling firm Civiqs, which has interviewed more than 140,000 respondents in 2017 and 2018 suggests that Trump’s black approval rating has consistently been in the single-digits throughout his presidency...   

Stop drinking all that orange kool-aid, Redward.

Don't read well, do you?

Fox didn't have the opinion piece from WSJ. They had the news story that preceded it, as did I.
