Kavanaugh Accuser Admits To Lying, Faces Criminal Charges
2023-02-21
[ZH & Headline USA] Judy Monro-Leighton, one of three women who accused now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, was found to have lied during a congressional investigation and is now being charged with making materially false statements and obstruction.

According to The Beltway Report, a letter written by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, made a criminal referral against Monro-Leighton, who admitted that she "just wanted to get attention."

She also admitted that an anonymous letter she sent to then-Sen. Kamala Harris describing a graphic sexual assault by Kavanaugh and a friend was not written by her, despite her original claim of being "Jane Doe from Oceanside, California."

"No, no, no. I did that as a way to grab attention," Munro-Leighton explained when questioned by investigators of the Committee on the Judiciary. "I am not Jane Doe... but I did read Jane Doe’s letter. I read the transcript of the call to your committee... I saw it online. It was news."

In her statements, she also clarified that she never met Judge Kavanaugh.

"In short, during the Committee’s time-sensitive investigation of allegations against Judge Kavanaugh, Ms. Munro-Leighton submitted a fabricated allegation, which diverted Committee resources," Grassley’s letter reads. "When questioned by Committee investigators she admitted it was false, a ’ploy’ and a ’tactic.'"

Harris, who was acting as a senator at the time, went on to become the vice president without any discipline for bringing the false letter forward without conducting a proper investigation into the matter.

None of the senators on the committee took the time to investigate the anonymous letter, which Grassley claims was due to their haste to close out the hearings.

Continuously throughout the letter, Grassley attempts to push the blame off of the committee, minimizing their part in the political hit job.

None of the politicians on the committee commented on the charges being brought against Munro-Leighton.

#13  Nobody is suggesting that she be treated with kid gloves...especially if she has nothing to offer a prosecutor. But if it can be proven that this woman received money for her testimony from the likes of Kamala Harris or Diane Feinstein, some kind of a deal might be appropriate.

#12  Oh, wait, we are in "feewings" land. She is traumatized. A victim of her imagined victimhood and also of other people trying to use her for their own political purposes.

Of course there are people saying she needs to be left alone. Can't have her going all state's evidence on well-meaning democrat operatives now, can we?

#11  ^^ No doubt. ALL involved need to pay. But to treat this Judy Monro-Leighton with kids gloves is absurd.

#10  Suborning perjury is a crime too, so whoever "put her up to it" deserves a trip thru the wringer as well.

#9  18 USC 1001 - It's quite clear she made the statements. Who gives a rat's a$$ someone made her do it? So fooking what? She did it "to get attention". If she wants to hope for leniency by ratting out somebody else, fine. She knew it was wrong but did it anyway. Maybe I should post this twice.

I wish/hope she could get whacked in civil court, too. Imagine the hell the Kavanaugh family went though.

#8  @ #1 and #2, it's worth saying twice. Somebody engineered that whole episode. The smart thing would be to get Ms. Monro-Leighton to rat out the perpetrators. Fat chance that'll ever happen with the likes of Merrick Garland at DoJ.

#7  ^^ Thx. Indeed, and the talk at the time of him possibly running for president was absolutely fooking pathetic.

#2  I could care less about her. I need to know who pushed her to this. WHo was behind this, she is too stupid and too passive to do it on her own.
