ANALYSIS: SAD BUT TRUE. Avenatti the Perfect Standard Bearer for Democrats.

Notably, there are no witnesses to these terrible crimes, even though reporters have been combing through every person who knew Kavanaugh when he was in high school or college. For horrors like these to be perpetrated by groups of drunken young men in plain sight of others, and yet for everyone who attended these parties to keep quiet for decades — men and women, Republicans and Democrats — beggars belief.

But opponents of Kavanaugh don’t need plausibility. They just need yet another allegation. They don’t need proof. They just need delay, to allow time for potential additional accusations and stall whatever momentum the Kavanaugh confirmation has at this point. They don’t need a modicum of decency. They just need a drive to destroy Kavanaugh’s reputation by any means possible.

In other words, they need Michael Avenatti.

2020 is going to be quite a ride.
