'Corroboration needed': Kavanaugh opponents scrambled to define 'devil's triangle' before hearing

Source: Washington Examiner | September 29, 2018 | Philip Wegmann

The subject line of the email was “corroboration needed.” It came the day before Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee to address allegations of sexual assault.

Andrea Caputo Rose, executive of a Washington, D.C.,-based legal recruiting firm called Rose Legal Search, was scrambling to find someone to corroborate the meaning of certain entries in Kavanaugh’s high school yearbook. Anyone who could confirm the salacious meaning, Rose wrote in an email obtained by the Washington Examiner, should contact Debra Katz, the lawyer of one of Kavanaugh’s accusers.

“Debra Katz needs to find people who are familiar with what the slang terms used by Brett Kavanaugh in his yearbook page meant – such as FFFF – Devil’s Triangle – and Renate Alumnus,” Rose wrote. “If you can speak to any of these and are willing to sign an affidavit, please contact her at [redacted] and [redacted].”

Rose did not responded to numerous requests for comment. A spokeswoman for Katz told the Washington Examiner that “Debra Katz did not know about this email or its contents before Ms. Rose sent it, and did not ask for it to be sent.”

Ford, who was accompanied by Katz and who testified in the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday, has accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault while the two were in high school. Michael Avenatti, the lawyer of a third woman accusing Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, has asserted that the yearbook entries suggest sexual misconduct untoward a Supreme Court justice.

“In regard to Julie Swetnick, whose allegations of drugging and gang (“train”) rape just came out through Michael Avenatti today, please also let me or Debra Katz know if you can [corroborate] any of her allegations,” Rose wrote. “Time is criticial [sic] if you have information and do not want to see Brett Kavanaugh sit on the Supreme Court for the next 40 years.”
