And I think we all know why.
And if he's squeaky clean, will you be ok with him? I have a feeling I already know the answer.

She lives in a $3M house!
What does her current house's value, profession, and race have to do with what occurred when she was fifteen years old?

You sound resentful that a woman has achieved so much and lives very comfortably, while holding a professional position of respect.

Do successful women trigger you?

Defamation of character and threats against the Kavanaugh family should also be pursued. Threats against Christine Ford were likely produced by her own team to lend credibility to her portrayal of "victimhood" in the media. If there were awards for this spectacle, Ford would win for "least convincing performance."

Her alma mater must be proud to have a person so.....prominently scrutinized.

According to the highly esteemed Joe Biden, the FBI does not make conclusions in regards to sexual misconduct. He said so in 1991, during the Anita Hill panel.
did you not see the envelope of cash sheila jackson gave 'her' attorney? nothing will be traced. these people have been doing this for a long time and know how to cover their tracks.

Before all this started (the upcoming SCOTUS nomination) she had not discussed the matter. Remember, this happened when Ford was a 15 yo girl.

No argument that this is cloaked in desperate politicking by both parties. But as for the facts of the matter, Kavanaugh strikes me as another disastrous Trump pick. The man does have a genius for being drawn to characters who are less than savory - even if Trump himself does not have prior knowledge.

Again, my money's on the college professor from Stanford with the 2 kids. That anyone thinks she's pulling a stunt for go fund me money - well, again, that's far less credible than the over-sexed bully of a teenager story.

This whole thing is not a comparison of Ford to who Kavanaugh is today (or how he behaved in the intervening years with the coaching etc.) but who he was back then. That - and he lied about it in the present.

This mess is another Trump fail. It was his nomination.

Not a single person has said that. The money is only secondary, we all know this was politically motivated. Pretty much everyone on this side agrees that something happened to her, it just wasn't BK.

And if new allegations come out and FBI wants more time for investigation, will that change your mind?

The other one is that she has a gofundme account and has received a crap-ton of donations already.

Again-I have no reason to think any of these are true-looking for someone that can provide proof-either way.
OMG. Here we go again with the conspiracy theories.

1) He wasn't talking about women in general, he was talking about Dr. Ford specifically.
2) It's hard to have respect for a person who lashes out against someone else with baseless allegations that effectively turn that person's life upside down.

This is what the FBI's "investigation" is going to conclude as well. Not enough even for a search warrant.

How many with PhDs had to look it up?

Who's house was this alleged attack supposedly at? PJ's?
