This affidavit strikes me a little strange. Perhaps it's because of the source (Avenatti is just so sleazy), but it's worded to paint a lurid picture, but never asserts any claim she's seen Kavanaugh do anything specific.
He's at the parties, bad things happen at the parties, and a horrible crime was committed against her at a party. But there's no line stating, "And I saw Kavanaugh doing _____." It's insinuation -- that he was involved because his friends were involved. And then she's guessing these guys were targeting girls who were alone or shy?
I think this woman's story is true. But I think Avenatti did her a disservice by trying to make it more salacious, and emphasizing the acts of others to get around the fact that she has no recollection of Kavanaugh himself committing a crime.
Avenatti's a creep. He should have referred this client to a credible lawyer. The GOP will dismiss this on the basis he's behind it and assisted with its preparation. But then again... Avenatti tries everything in the media, and probably didn't expect much respect from Rs or Ds. And this affidavit, particularly as written - to elicit maximum disgust not only at Kavanaugh but at his social scene - will be all the media talks about for days.
