发帖数: 61690 | 1 The onetime girlfriend of Mark Judge, who is alleged by Christine Blasey
Ford to have been present while Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in
the 1980s, has emerged as a pivotal if hidden figure in this whole affair —
and now she’s prepared to speak to the FBI and the Judiciary Committee
about what she knows, according to a letter from her lawyer that I’ve
obtained.
Judge’s college girlfriend, Elizabeth Rasor, is represented by lawyer
Roberta Kaplan, who sent a letter to the Judiciary Committee today. The
letter, which was provided to me by a senior Senate Democratic aide on the
committee, says that Rasor “would welcome the opportunity” to speak to “
agents of the FBI as part of a reopened background investigation” into
Kavanaugh’s conduct.
After Ford alleged to The Post that Kavanaugh and Judge had assaulted her —
something Kavanaugh and Judge have both denied — Rasor and what she knows
became a subject of interest in this whole affair when she spoke to the New
Yorker. In that piece — which was primarily about the second Kavanaugh
accuser, Deborah Ramirez, who claimed Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at
Yale in the 1980s — Rasor did not make any allegations about Kavanuagh.
But Rasor did say that Judge had confided in her about a group sex incident
at the time. As the New Yorker piece put it:
Rasor recalled that Judge had told her ashamedly of an incident that
involved him and other boys taking turns having sex with a drunk woman.
Rasor said that Judge seemed to regard it as fully consensual. She said that
Judge did not name others involved in the incident, and she has no
knowledge that Kavanaugh participated in it.
The letter from Rasor’s attorney confirms that this account faithfully
reflects what she recalls — and, now, what she is prepared to tell the FBI.
The letter says:
Ms. Rasor’s recollection of what occurred is stated accurately in the New
Yorker piece and she would welcome the opportunity to share this information
with agents of the FBI as part of a re-opened background investigation.
In recounting this particular episode to the New Yorker, Rasor did not name
Kavanaugh.
But Judge’s role — and whatever Rasor is prepared to say about it — has
suddenly taken on a lot more potential significance, now that lawyer Michael
Avenatti has produced a sworn statement from a third woman, which claims
that Judge did conspire with Kavanaugh to get women drunk so they could be
assaulted by numerous young men.
As the statement from Avenatti’s client, Julia Swetnick, put it, recounting
incidents that sound like the one Rasor recounted in the New Yorker:
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. I have a
firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms and many of these
parties waiting for their ‘turn’ with a girl inside the room. These boys
included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh. …
In approximately 1982, I became the victim of one of these ‘gang’ or ‘
train’ rapes where Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh were present. … I
believe I was drugged using Quaaludes or something similar placed in what I
was drinking.
The New Yorker piece quotes Rasor saying Judge confessed to such a group sex
episode, but without implicating Kavanaugh in it.
The letter from Rasor’s lawyer does not address this separate set of
allegations from this third woman, and it’s unclear whether she’d be
willing to address them. So it’s possible, if this additional woman’s
account is false, that Rasor might end up failing to confirm it or saying
that she knows nothing of these particular episodes which are alleged to
have also involved Kavanaugh.
Still, Democrats are likely to cite Rasor’s willingness to share what she
knows to increase the pressure on Judiciary Committee Republicans to call
for a re-opened FBI investigation or, barring that, to allow her to speak to
the Committee.
“Ms. Rasor’s statement that Mark Judge told her about his participation in
a gang rape when he was in high school is powerful corroborating evidence,
” the senior Democratic aide to the Judiciary Committee told me. “She is
wiling to cooperate with the Judiciary Committee and the FBI.” The aide
added that this raises further question sabout why “Mark Judge is hiding
out in Bethany Beach and Republicans refuse to call him as a witness.”
It is not clear whether Kavanaugh would ultimately be implicated even if
Rasor did testify, but her willingness to do so does highlight just how
limited the hearing — at which only Ford and Kavanaugh are expected to
testify — is shaping up to be.
Rasor is also willing to speak to the hearing, if Republicans don’t call
for a reopened FBI background check, her lawyer’s letter says. “Although
Ms. Rasor does not welcome the unwanted attention that would inevitably
result if she were to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee,” it
says, “she believes that it is her duty as a citizen to tell the truth
about what happened.”
Rasor’s willingness to speak would also seem to increase pressure on
Republicans to subpoena Judge to testify, though there’s no indication that
they will give ground on that point. | r*********t
