NYT Forced To Issue Major Correction To Kavanaugh Hit-Piece; Trump Says 'They Should Be Sued!'

While digging into an unsupported allegation by a woman named Deborah Ramirez that Kavanaugh waved his penis in her face during the 1983-1984 academic year at Yale, the Times's Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly claimed to have uncovered another alleged incident in which Kavanaugh's penis was thrust into a female student's hand.
A classmate, Max Stier, saw Mr. Kavanaugh with his pants down at a different drunken dorm party, where friends pushed his penis into the hand of a female student. Mr. Stier, who runs a nonprofit organization in Washington, notified senators and the F.B.I. about this account, but the F.B.I. did not investigate and Mr. Stier has declined to discuss it publicly. (We corroborated the story with two officials who have communicated with Mr. Stier.) -New York Times
The only problem - which Pogrebin and Kelly omitted from their NYT article, yet is contained in their new book "The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation."- is that the woman has no memory of the incident.
After The Federalist's Mollie Hemmingway and others pointed this out, the Times issued a major correction to what the National Review's John McCormack called "one of the worst cases of journalistic malpractice in recent memory." 
An earlier version of this article, which was adapted from a forthcoming book, did not include one element of the book's account regarding an assertion by a Yale classmate that friends of Brett Kavanaugh pushed his penis into the hand of a female student at a drunken dorm party. The book reports that the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say that she does not recall the incident. That information has been added to the article. -NYT
President Trump on Monday had Kavanaugh's back in a series of tweets: 
Trump has also suggested that Kavanaugh should sue the times. 
Meanwhile, the office of Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) - who was mentioned in the article, tweeted several items of note to address the original claims by Ramirez:
1. Senate Judiciary staff "proactively contacted Ms. Ramirez' lawyers soon after the New Yorker story broke."
2. "Despite 7 attempts by staff, Ms. Ramirez' lawyers declined to provide documentary evidence referenced in the article/witness accounts to support the claims. They also declined invitations for Ms. Ramirez to speak with committee investigators or to provide a written statement"
3. Nonetheless, our investigators spoke to and reviewed material from several Yale classmates of Ms. Ramirez and Justice Kavanaugh in order to assess the claim. You can read the committee’s 414-page investigative summary here: http://bit.ly/30nwLKG
4. The committee's review found no verifiable evidence to support the claims. The @nytimes' own reporting at the time noted that it couldn't find anyone with firsthand knowledge & that Ms. Ramirez told friends she couldn’t be sure Kavanaugh was involved:
5. Ultimately, Ms. Ramirez’ team agreed only to contact the FBI with the claims. She was reportedly interviewed by the FBI during its supplemental background investigation. More on those background investigations here:



This is the sort of stuff that defamation lawsuits are born of … and I  hope that Justice Kavanaugh sues the living hell out of these women and  the NYT.

Democrats haven't got a chance in HELL in 2020 lol
