That letter seemed almost content-free, and I'm surprised that they didn't try to make a stronger argument.
I would be interested in knowing what his specific lie under oath was. (Apparently his accusers have been caught in several.)
- Latteland 8y agoI don't want to get political, but I think the thing they think he lied about was his description of his college years wasn't honest, it was apparently very dishonest. According to many reports but not from him, including from his roommate, he was drinking a lot, got into fight drunk, didn't remember things afterwards, and was kind of rude and ugly when drunk. He wasn't just lifting weights and doing service work to help people. It's hard to know what to think of the accusations of terrible behavior toward women when he was probably drunk, because he might not remember the details when he blacked out. But it's the other things, lying about his lifestyle. It's not the lifestyle itself (I used to drink a lot in college like a lot of people that age), it's lying about it under oath.
