Senate Panel Issues Report That Exonerates Kavanaugh of All Allegations

 

The Senate Judiciary Committee issued a report on Nov. 3 summarizing its investigation of allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The report concludes that there is no evidence to support the claims made by Kavanaugh’s accusers.

 

The committee instead found evidence that one accuser fabricated her accusation, while another accuser conspired with her attorney to make false claims. Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) referred those involved for criminal investigation.

 

Investigators also found evidence of potential witness tampering and violations of Senate rules. The committee’s review of these issues is ongoing, according to the report.

 

The 414-page report (pdf) on Nov. 3 summarizes the investigative findings based on interviews with 45 people and a review of 25 written statements. The investigators found no evidence to corroborate the allegations against Kavanaugh. The FBI reached the same conclusion shortly before the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in early October.

 

“The revelation of last minute allegations tested the committee in many ways. But these investigative efforts rose to the occasion and were critical to helping us obtain the truth. This was a serious and thorough investigation that left no stone unturned in our pursuit of the facts,” Grassley said in a statement. “In the end, there was no credible evidence to support the allegations against the nominee.”

 

The report lifts the lid on the scale of the investigative effort that was triggered by 11th-hour accusations against Kavanaugh. A team of 40 attorneys, law clerks, and other professionals investigated all of the claims against Kavanaugh. Teams of 2-3 investigators conducted phone interviews and followed up on leads. The committee also monitored social media and news reports.

 

In addition to the allegations made by Christine Ford, the committee investigated claims made by Deborah Ramirez, Julie Swetnick, and three anonymous accusers.

 

The investigators concluded that there is no verifiable evidence to support the allegations lodged by Ford and Ramirez.

Marine Le Pen moves ahead of Macron in European Elections – Poll

 

The left continue to label anyone conservative as ‘far-right’ in their attempt to smear and discredit conservatives. It hasn’t slowed the rise of the right, one jot.

 

Polls in France now reveal that Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National (RN) moves ahead of Emmanuel Macron’s La République En Marche (LREM). The right-wing parties gained a 30 per cent share of voting intentions in the Ifop poll.

 

The poll of voting intentions for the May 2019 European Parliament elections shows Le Pen’s RN rising from 17 per cent in August’s to 21 per cent currently, a move putting RN ahead of the LREM for the first time.

 

This is a five percentage increase from 25 per cent of voting intentions at the end of August and Sunday’s poll reveals quite succinctly that France has shifted towards the right since the election where Macron beat Le Pen.

 

The rise in populism is clearly playing a role in Le Pen’s popularity, though there is no denying Macron’s plunging popularity has been his own doing. He has even slunk below his predecessor, socialist François Hollande. That took some doing.

Italians First! Massive growth makes Salvini’s anti-migration party largest in Italy

 

Italian’s are happy to share their opinions and a poll published on Saturday shows the deepening divide between support for the right-wing League and its coalition partner the 5Star Movement.

 

The Ipsos poll published the telling results. The League, headed by the internationally popular Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, has jumped to 34.7 per cent of Italians saying they would vote for the League.

 

In March, they received 17.4 per cent of the votes. Since the election, polls have shown Matteo to be rising in popularity as he has publicly stood against mass migration and has stood up for the Italian people in the row between Brussels and Rome, having recently been polled as the most popular politician in Italy’s history.

 

The 5Stars only received 28.7 per cent of support, which is down from the 32.7 per cent that voted for them in March’s election.

 

This new poll also shows the League is, to an increasing extent, enticing voters away from its coalition partner. With 16 per cent of those who said they would now back the anti-migration League having voted in the March election for the 5Stars.

 

The coalition government as a whole received 57 per cent of Italians approval of the government, the highest level of support of any of the previous six Italian governments during similar periods.
