The latest salvo in the Left’s and the media’s endless assault on Justice Brett Kavanaugh comes from Max Stier, a Beltway-based attorney who represented President Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. According to the New York Times’ relaying of the controversial new book, The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation, the Yale graduate claims to have seen Kavanaugh at a dorm party “where friends pushed his penis into the hand of a female student.”

The story is thinly sourced and the alleged victim denied the allegation through multiple friends (a fact the Times omitted in its original story). Given that the poorly sourced charge is so explosive, it’s hard to imagine the Times would run this allegation against almost any other target. To justify publishing an uncorroborated, largely debunked, 30-year-old accusation by a political operative, the Times tries to make it a story about how Stier’s accusation was handled by authorities.
