NextImg:A new anti-Kavanaugh book doesn’t mention me by name. Here’s why

In Nine Black Robes, the new book by CNN Supreme Court reporter Joan Biskupic, I am never mentioned by name. I am referred to only as “another boy.” Biskupic suggests, as many others on the Left have over the past few years, that I was “the boy” in the room when a teenage Brett Kavanaugh allegedly sexually assaulted a girl named Christine Blasey Ford in the summer of 1982.

The Ford accusation exploded in the fall of 2018, when Kavanaugh was a nominee for the Supreme Court. I had no recollection of the alleged assault and describe the nightmare of the accusations against me and my teenage friend in my book The Devil’s Triangle: Mark Judge vs. the New American Stasi , which was published last November.

There’s a reason that Biskupic, the author of several books about the Supreme Court and a reporter known as a great scoop-finder, does not mention me by name. Why? Because to do so would set off a chain of events that Biskupic, CNN, and the rest of the media would rather not unleash.

If Biskupic named me, she would have to describe the contents of my book, The Devil’s Triangle. I reveal extortion attempts, media manipulation, witness tampering, and even a sexual honey trap, all to destroy me and Brett Kavanaugh. I talk about Leland Keyser, Ford’s friend who denied the alleged assault ever happened and went on to say that she was pressured to change her story.

Biskupic doesn’t want to go there because it would collapse her case against Brett. It’s the same reason the Washington Post won’t review my book despite my being a native Washingtonian with deep family roots in the city, and despite the fact that I was at the center of one of the most explosive Washington scandals in decades.

Nine Black Robes covers the six years from the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016 through President Joe Biden’s 2022 nomination of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. It focuses mainly on how former President Donald Trump secured a 6-3 conservative majority, which, for the Left, including Biskupic, was a disaster. Her subtitle is: Inside the Supreme Court's Drive to the Right and Its Historic Consequences.

It’s worth recalling just how far the Left was willing to go to prevent Trump from securing his nominations. To prevent Kavanaugh from taking a seat on the court, the Democratic National Committee went nuclear. Brett and I were accused of multiple felonies. We were offered no real due process. We were accused of drugging and gang-raping girls by Michael Avenatti, a media hero who is now in prison for extortion and stealing money from clients.

Yet it was never clear why Avenatti made such baseless accusations or, rather, who had put him up to the task. Were Ford and her lawyers and the DNC working with Avenatti? It’s possible. After all, as I reveal in my book, Ford was working with opposition researchers, and on Sept. 22, just a few days after Ford’s story was published in the Washington Post, Avenatti was on Twitter claiming there was much more coming. It’s difficult to believe the DNC and its operatives weren’t aware of the creepy porn lawyer.

On Sept. 24, 2018 (my birthday), I got a nasty message on my phone from someone saying, “You like [expletive] with people? I like [expletive] with people, too. Give me a call.” I still don’t know who the call was from but gave the number to the FBI. Later that same day, Avenatti went on TV, where he appeared apoplectic and said my name 13 times in two minutes. He was flustered. Avenatti had figured out that I was too street-smart to hand him the shiv to plant into my back. I was not about to give in to the mob.

Unsurprisingly, Biskupic doesn’t mention Avenatti. She does, however, make a big deal out of Kavanaugh sending a note to another judge saying he respects him despite disagreeing with many of his opinions. Writing in Reason, Josh Blackman had the proper response: “Kavanaugh sent a letter to Judge Furman saying he respected him. Big deal! This may come as a surprise, but judges do privately correspond with each other. And even if a Justice disagrees with a judge's ruling — in sharp terms — he can still express respect for that judge.”

Blackman adds this: “Moreover, Kavanaugh is a nice guy. Believe it or not, he and I actually used to get along quite well. He even volunteered to judge the high school moot court competition I run. From time to time, Kavanaugh would send me gracious notes about this or that. Sending this letter to Furman is entirely in keeping with who Kavanaugh is as a person. Another non-story, spun up to make a broader point.”

I’ve known Brett Kavanaugh since we were 14. He is, in fact, a nice guy. Joan Biskupic had plenty of time to find this out for herself, either by asking me or reading my 200-page book about my friendship with Brett and the political hit that was put out on us.

Yet I am not mentioned by name in Nine Black Robes. To name me is to name my book, and that’s a truth bomb that Biskupic and CNN and the media have no stomach for. As I’ve heard many times said about the media, it ain’t just what they report. It’s what they choose to leave out.
