Kavanaugh’s Third Accuser Has A Lengthy Legal History

This is awkward (for Michael Avenatti).

As it turns out, Brett Kavanaugh’s third accuser, Julie Swetnick, has a lengthy legal history. The AP dug into this (I know– I was surprised too) and discovered that Swetnick has been involved in “at least six legal cases over the past 25 years.” That’s “including a lawsuit in which an ex-employer accused her of falsifying her college and work history on her job application.”

Some details of the legal disputes she’s been involved in aren’t known, because documents in the cases are incomplete or no longer available. Records in the lawsuit filed in late 2000 by her ex-employer, Oregon-based software company Webtrends, don’t indicate why it was dismissed. Avenatti said there was a settlement in the case but no money changed hands.

In its civil complaint in a state court in Oregon, the company said Swetnick, a software engineer, was an employee for a few weeks before its human resources department received a report that she had engaged in “unwelcome sexual innuendo and inappropriate conduct” toward two male co-workers at a business lunch.

Did you catch that? She was accused.

The lawsuit said that Swetnick in turn accused Webtrends of subjecting her to “physically and emotionally threatening and hostile conditions” and that she claimed that she’d been sexually harassed by four co-workers. The co-workers denied the allegations, the suit said.

Company officials later determined, the suit said, that Swetnick had provided false information on her employment application. The suit alleged that she had misrepresented the length of time she worked at a previous employer and falsely claimed that she’d earned an undergraduate degree in biology and chemistry from Johns Hopkins University.

Of course, Michael Avenatti says this doesn’t damage her credibility at all. He vetted her. TRUST him on this. Julie Swetnick is totes credible! He checked! He said “whether she has a college degree or not does not matter as to whether she is a sexual assault victim.”

But her history of LYING might be of interest, no? Speaking of…

Swetnick was on the other side of a civil case in 1994, as a plaintiff, when she filed a personal injury lawsuit in Maryland against the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. She claimed she lost more than $420,000 in earnings after she hurt her nose in a fall on a train in 1992.

Swetnick, who described herself in court records as a model and actor, claimed she had “numerous modeling commitments” with several companies at the time of the accident but missed out them because of her injuries.

To support her claim for lost wages, Swetnick named “Konam Studios” as one of the companies promising to employ her. A court filing identified Nam Ko, a representative of “Kunam Studios,” as a possible plaintiff’s witness for her case.

But here’s the thing: Ko said he never owned that company and never agreed to pay her for anything before she got a nose injury.

“I didn’t have any money back then. I (was) broke as can be,” Ko said.

Ko said he has a hazy memory of Swetnick asking to use him as a “character reference” but doesn’t recall hearing about her lawsuit.

“I thought it was for a job application,” he said.

Avenatti’s spin? “This is all hearsay. … None of this is relevant, not one bit.”

Nope. Her history of lying is NOT RELEVANT HERE.

The paperwork filed in the suit includes a letter addressed to Swetnick’s attorney from Richard Zamora, who is identified as a marketing executive from a San Jose, California-based company called Fiber Sign Inc. In the letter, dated March 1994, Zamora said the company had been prepared to hire Swetnick as a model and spokeswoman and pay her a $60,000 base salary but offered the job to someone else after learning of her accident.

Zamora later asked a court in Florida for a restraining order against Swetnick. The remaining court records don’t show the reasons he gave for asking for the restraining order, but indicate that the case was dropped less than two weeks later when neither party appeared in court.

OK. So a restraining order, huh? What about that, Avenatti?

He dismissed it as nothing but “nonsense.”

Avenatti actually expects us to view this woman as credible.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
