The affidavit is heavy on describing crime at the parties, but it’s all general. Very different from Ford’s accusations.
Avenatti went for guilt by association here. Thats not irrelevant, but it’s also not very strong.

The affidavit says Kavanaugh groped, fondled, and attempted to remove the clothing of girls against their will, that he engaged in efforts to drug and/or spike punch with grain alcohol in order to target women, and that he was present when she was gang raped. But I am guessing that the Republican talking point will be exactly what you are saying (weird!) -- that she didn't specifically state that Kavanaugh penetrated her. Which I assume means either that he didn't or that she became too drugged to remember who all gang raped her. But if you think the affidavit contains only weak allegations against him and only contains guilt by association, then it seems your moral standard for SCOTUS is "not a rapist." Which again appears to line up exactly with the Republicans' position on Kavanaugh (weird!).
