Surely someone as prestigious as Ford would have some sort of online presence from past lectures, op-ed's, feed back from students, etc. Not a lot is out there other than current info.

Take this with a grain of salt...
Researcher Uncovers Christine Blasey Ford's 'Hidden' 80's-Era High School Social Life - Tennessee Star


Another interesting thing , if BK had much of his past scrubbed from the web, the leftists would scream he has something to hide....what is their excuse for her ?

Hopefully she never will be. She is clearly unreliable and a known liar. Why would they interview her? They have her statement. So does the committee. Nobody but you seem to really care what this whackjob is alleging. Well sorry, you and Avenetti. He likes the attention. Whats your excuse? Please tell me you think there is a 1% chance this lady is telling the truth and that Kavanaugh gang raped over 10 women and NOBODY knows about it. Well except for Swetnick.

You're forgetting that millions of Americans watched the testimony live and already saw all these holes for themselves.

No need for impartial report, but its nice to have it all summarized in one place.

I'm like a lot of people. I think something happened to Christy Ford but it probably did not involve Brett Kavanaugh.
I also think something happened to Dr. Ford, and I do believe it involved Judge Kavanaugh. Unfortunately, it's just been too long for it to be a prosecutable case, but that's not the point. The Democrats are right that this is not a criminal case; it's a job interview. Senate now has to decide what to do with the information she provided in her testimony.

If I had a dollar for every person I've heard accuse him of being a rapist, I could go on a pretty nice vacation.

And now I'm hearing people actually call Dr. Ford a "rape survivor" or "rape victim." Well, maybe she was raped at some point in her life, who knows, but even she isn't accusing BK of that.

But never let facts stand in the way of emotional rhetoric.

Thinking Ford was credible...yes absolutely, along with anyone else. Her acting was horrible !

The FBI already did multiple background checks doing just that and found nothing. That's a normal part of the process. Where have you been? Did you know that this is for a Supreme Court nomination?

And prior to the hearing, all I was hearing from all sides was (on the left) "Well, they got a woman sex crimes prosecutor - not bad," and (from the right) "Oh my gosh, what are they thinking hiring a sex crimes prosecutor?"

If she'd produced the report the left wanted, she'd be a hero today.
