NBC News Sat On Information That Would Have Discredited Kavanaugh Accusers

This is why Trump keeps calling them "fake news."

After NBC aired in an interview with Julie Swetnick that undermined her testimony in a sworn affidavit (something that recently earned the pair a criminal referral to the DOJ), Avenatti presented ANOTHER sworn statement from a fourth anonymous accuser who allegedly knew Swetnick and had witnessed some of the same boorish behavior exhibited by Kavanaugh.

Or at least that's what Avenatti apparently convinced her to swear to in his affidavit. Because, as NBC has revealed, during an interview with the woman arranged by Avenatti on Sept. 30, she largely denied making many of the claims in he affidavit, and effectively told NBC that she had never witnessed Kavanaugh engage in any of the questionable behavior alleged by his accusers.

And when the network again spoke to this anonymous accuser after the publication of the affidavit, Avenatti she said that it incorrectly represented her claims, and that she had barely "skimmed" it prior to its release. Overall, NBC determined that her story "wasn't credible" - though it never shared this judgment with the public. What's more, the woman's retractions also created more reason to question Swetnick's claims.

So, NBC knew that Avenatti's clients were sketchy as hell, but still tried their best to stand behind the claims. At least until a couple of days ago when Avenatti & Swetnick got referred to the DOJ for perjury, and NBC went into full ass-covering mode.

Good job, NBC. Journalists everywhere are proud of you

NBC dude. Clear up your OP.

On topic. NBC are clearly slime but their fans will probably never read this "news". It will be buried with all the other retractions...

Argh! Thanks for pointing that out. I've edited the OP to correct the network name.

Excellent. When does the Trump supporter go to jail?

Really ? There was a shooting not long ago and one could say the shooter belonged to the left. I think crazy is crazy and we all own crazies.

This is why Trump was right that they are fake news and the enemy of the American public.

After trial and conviction. Or are you still stuck on guilty until proven innocent?

Whoever did this should face the full consequences.

When the news media lies to you for decades...
When the political class lies to you for decades...
When corporate class lies to you for decades...

... its surprising more people aren't sending bombs.

But yes let's concentrate our energy toward a nut job grocery store manager from Florida instead of the people who actually affect our lives.

Couldn't NBC be charged with withholding evidence of Avanatte's crime? I know it is not pertinent to the law, but it could be pertinent to them retaining their license. That should also be evidence that our legal system could use to get Avanatte disbarred. MSM wants to create chaos, they are not interested in telling the truth.

They are not news, they are Liberal progressive propaganda.
