-He lied about the drinking age in Maryland.

Actually, it was true for most of the time he was in high school, it only changed when he himself became a senior.  He may have simply forgotten that.  But he never said that he didn't drink until he turned 18 (which would have only been a few months before his graduation).  Only that the seniors could do it legally because of the low drinking age.

-He claimed that Ford's witnesses said the event didn't happen.  That's false.

Ford's friend said that she doesn't remember any event like that and doesn't know Kavanaugh at all.  This is a distinction without a difference, not a lie.

-He claimed that an event like the one described by Ford never happened, even though his calendar lists such an event.

The July 1 date that you're describing happened miles away in a building unlike the one Ford described.  It is basically an internet rumor.  And just to completely spike it, her legal team admitted that that it couldn't be the date because it would have included people she would remember.

-He claimed that boofing referred to flatulence.

And people have confirmed that it was slang for flatulence at his school.

-He claimed that the devil's triangle refers to a drinking game.  

And people have confirmed that it is a drinking game, including people at Yale who say he taught it to them.

Slang is ever-changing, so trying to pin down a precise meaning for something to within a specific school is impossible.

I was about to come in a debunk this but you got it covered Poe. Pretty much everything you just said.
