The credibility of Julie Swetnick, the woman who accuses embattled U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of gang rape, has taken two more hits.
Swetnick, whose attorney is porn lawyer Michael Avenatti, has altered her claims about what she saw at gang-rape parties that she claims Kavanaugh and his friends organized.
And now, her ex-boyfriend has explained in detail that Swetnick might be a tad unstable: She threatened to kill his unborn child, he says.
As The New American has reported in the last week, Swetnick, who has a pile of tax troubles and suspect lawsuits in her past, is not the credible witness that Avenatti claimed.
Now She’s Not So Sure
Swetnick signed a declaration that contained some fantastic claims about Kavanaugh.
“I attended well over ten house parties in the Washington, D.C. area during the years 1981-1983 where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present,” she wrote. “These parties were a common occurrence in the area and occurred nearly every weekend during the school year.”
Swetnick continued:
I also witnessed efforts by Mark Judge, Brett Kavanaugh and others to cause girls to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be “gang raped” in a side room or bedroom by a “train” of numerous boys…. 11 boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting for their ‘turn’ with a girl inside the room. These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh.
But Swetnick admitted to NBC’s Kate Snow that she saw something else entirely. Asked whether she saw Kavanaugh spike the punch, Swetnick reversed her sworn statement. The footage aired last night.
“I saw him giving red solo cups to quite a few girls during that time frame, and there was grain punch at those parties. And I would not take one of those glasses from Brett Kavanaugh. I saw him around the punch — I won’t say bowls, the punch containers. I don’t know what he did, but I saw him by them.”
So Swetnick did not, as she claimed in her sworn statement, see Kavanaugh try to incapacitate a girl. She assumed it.
As for “boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting for their ‘turn’ with a girl inside the room,” that didn’t happen, either.
“I would see boys standing outside rooms, congregated together, sort of like a gauntlet,” she told Snow. “And I didn’t know what was occurring. But I would see them laughing, a lot of laughing.”
“Standing in line outside a room?” asked Snow
“Not ‘line,’ but definitely huddled by doors.”
Swetnick then repeated the accusation that Judge and Kavanaugh are likely gang rapists because she saw them standing outside doors, too. “It’s just too coincidental.”
Swetnick did not allege that Kavanaugh participated with the boys she claims raped her, adding that “I cannot specifically say that he was one of the ones who assaulted me.”
But “they were hanging about the area where I started to feel disoriented … and laughing. I could hear them laughing and laughing.”
Swetnick claims to have told the police and her mother about her own gang rape. NBC has not verified that she told police.
Upshot: Swetnick did not see Kavanaugh spike the punch or drug a girl, did not see lines outside doors, did not see Kavanaugh gang rape a girl and does not say Kavanaugh joined in her gang rape.
Vinneccy: Swetnick Exaggerated Everything
Meanwhile, an old flame explained that Swetnick’s elevator might be stuck on the ground floor, calling his talking about the woman his “civic duty.”
“Right after I broke up with her, she basically called me many times and at one point she basically said, ‘You will never, ever see your unborn child alive,’” Richard Vinneccy told Fox talker Laura Ingraham.
She threatened to kill Vinneccy and his family as well, Vinneccy told Ingraham: “I’m just going to go over there and kill you guys,” Swetnick said.
Vinneccy, who dated Swetnick from 1994 to 2001, told Ingraham that Swetnick’s tale of drug- and alcohol-fueled rape dens was a new one on him:
“Never, never once [did] she mention that to me,” he said. “We used to talk about everything. She never once mentioned that at all…. If you ask me personally if I believe her, I don’t believe her. I really don’t believe her. Nobody knows Julie Swetnick better than me.”
Added Vinneccy: “She always wanted to be the center of attention…. She was exaggerating everything. Everything that came out of her mouth was just exaggerations.”
