When I wrote \u201cTouchdown\u201d on September 26, 2018, there was concern about celebrating victory before the game was over.<\/p>\n

But since Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed, it is difficult to suppress a pretty wide grin. The backlash against Michael Avanetti is already building. When Susan Collins sited his ridiculous accusation as reason to suspect all the allegations, she was making my point.<\/p>\n

This is so bad, even CNN noticed:<\/p>\n

Some of the allegations levied against Judge Kavanaugh illustrate why the presumption of innocence is so important<\/em><\/strong>. I am thinking in particular not of the allegations raised by Professor Ford, but of the allegation that, when he was a teenager, Judge Kavanaugh drugged multiple girls and used their weakened state to facilitate gang rape.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This outlandish allegation was put forth<\/em><\/strong> without any credible supporting evidence and simply parroted public statements of others. That such an allegation can find its way into the Supreme Court confirmation process is a stark reminder about why the presumption of innocence is so ingrained in our American consciousness. -Sen. Susan Collins<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

CNN breaking news editor Kyle Feldscher:<\/p>\n

Hard to state how much Avenatti\u2019s entrance into this process hurt the Democratic effort to bring down Kavanaugh\u2019s nomination.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A host of Democratic senators and senior aides told CNN that the allegations from Avenatti’s client gave the GOP an opening to conflate — and dismiss — all the allegations in one broad brush.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Well you know at some point there were a lot of folks coming forward making all sorts of accusations,” said Sen. Gary Peters, a Michigan Democrat, when asked about the allegations raised by Avenatti and his client. “It turns it into a circus atmosphere and certainly that’s not where we should be.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Asked if Avenatti was helpful, Peters said: “I think we should have focused on the serious allegations that certainly appeared very credible to me that would be our best course of action.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Privately, the assessment was far more scathing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Democrats and the country would have been better off if Mr. Avenatti spent his time on his Iowa vanity project rather than meddling in Supreme Court fights,” a senior Senate Democratic aide fumed, referring to Avenatti toying with the idea of seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. “His involvement set us back, absolutely.” –CNN<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is so bad that Greg Gutfeld wondered if Avenatti wasn\u2019t a secret Republican operative. Michael Avenatti is finally getting the recognition he deserves and I, for one, am grateful for his efforts.<\/p>\n
