New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly claim that they have seven sources who “more fully [corroborate]” Deborah Ramirez’s allegation that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a party.

Yet of those seven, only one even claims to have heard that Kavanaugh was the person in the story at the time, as they admit in their book, The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation. And even he is only a third-hand source of information, not having actually been there himself, and having heard it from a source whose identity he does not disclose.
