— 3rd Kavanaugh accuser has history of legal disputes – AP (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the lawsuits that I have filed and a class action lawsuit that I was an active member of the class in. I would focus on the defendants, the facts that I presented, the charges that I made, the remedies that I sought, the attorneys who represented me, the judges that were assigned, the outcomes of the lawsuits, etc. But most importantly, I would focus on the retaliatory acts that the defendants, their operatives, their dupes, and those who what to curry favor with the defendants have taken against me.)
http://www.fox32chicago.com/news/3rd-kavanaugh-accuser-has-history-of-legal-disputes
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Julie Swetnick, one of the women who has publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, has an extensive history of involvement in legal disputes, including a lawsuit in which an ex-employer accused her of falsifying her college and work history on her job application. Legal documents from Maryland, Oregon and Florida provide a partial picture of a woman who stepped into the media glare amid the battle over Kavanaugh’s nomination for the nation’s highest court. Court records reviewed by The Associated Press show Swetnick has been involved in at least six legal cases over the past 25 years. Along with the lawsuit filed by a former employer in November 2000, the cases include a personal injury suit she filed in 1994 against the Washington, D.C., regional transit authority. Her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, told the AP that court cases involving her have no bearing on the credibility of her claims about Kavanaugh. Avenatti said the suit from her ex-employer – it was dismissed a month after it was filed – was “completely bogus, which is why it was dismissed almost immediately.” He told AP that he “fully vetted” Swetnick before helping her take her claims against Kavanaugh public. . .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. 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. Her lawyer, Avenatti, said that “whether she has a college degree or not does not matter as to whether she is a sexual assault victim.” Helene Moglen, Swetnick’s aunt, told AP this week that her niece went off to college but quickly moved back home. In an interview with The Washington Post, Swetnick’s father was quoted as saying that “she bootstrapped herself and became a computer expert. She’s a sharp woman.” None of the executives named in the lawsuit still works at Webtrends. Calls and emails to the company’s Portland headquarters seeking comment received no response. The lawyer who represented the company in the lawsuit also did not return messages seeking comment on Thursday and Friday. 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.)
— Lawyer, 99, will retire ‘when they carry me out of here’ – AP (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes have always promoted age discrimination a) to get rid of those who were older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination. Democrats run the federal government. Those Democrats promote age discrimination. They get rid of federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they did not to GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40. When the aforesaid employees are eligible to retire, the Democrats pull out all the stops to get those employees to retire. I first became eligible to retire in 1993 when I was 45 years old.)

— Who you gonna call? Inspectors General. – JOHN F. SOPKO
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/408953-who-you-gonna-call-inspectors-general
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Traditionally, Congress has turned to committee staff and legislative support agencies for expertise. But much has changed on Capitol Hill over the last 40 years. The number of committee staff in the House has declined from 2,000 to 1,100, and from 1,400 to 950 in the Senate since 1979. Congressional support agencies suffered similar cuts. Government Accountability Office staff dropped from 5,300 to 3,000; Congressional Research Service staff was reduced by 28 percent; the Office of Technology Assessment was completely abolished. As Congress’ internal expertise has declined, the number of think tanks has more than doubled since 1980. Many do great work but, as New York Times and National Public Radio investigations have found, think tanks may be beholden to foreign, corporate or wealthy private donors that may affect their independence and objectivity. Likewise, as the number of congressional staff has decreased, the number of lobbyists has, unsurprisingly, increased. There are now roughly 12,000 congressional staffers and 11,500 registered lobbyists. Some experts estimate there are as many as 100,000 unregistered lobbyists. Lobbyists are not inherently evil but are, by definition, partial to the causes they are paid to promote.)
