Thank you for the update. Glad to learn she is not so ill to issue a denial. My BS meter goes off when I hear an attorney say a claim is "outrages" and I wonder when attorneys claim something is 100% false. Sure seemed to me elements behind this story were credible.

But perhaps in this case pure partisan politics drove the story.

But in this case with Blah-zee, what were her damages? What kind of therapy did she obtain for the last 35 years due to this supposed event? Did she file a police report back then? Did she talk to her friends about this? Why did she just recently come forward? Did they use a rape test kit to find his semen back then?


My gut says she is being coached by "someone" because they don't want Judge K... It all reared it's ugly head at an odd time...full force now and these delays and stalls are all part of this circus.
Imo, this is about stopping Kav. from reaching the USSC before the next election and nothing more. I`m sure Dr. Ford doesn't feel particularly proud of trying to destroy Kav. with false allegations.

However in her eyes and others that are like minded the end justifies the means.

Get under your skin.

ONLY A LIAR needs "PRACTICE GRILLING"! And he's been "PRACTICING" for days and days, hasn't he?

Nope. Kav. lawyers know full well the other side will be going after him with anything they think will stick.

This is especially true now that the others alleged to be at the party by Dr. Ford have denied any knowledge of the events.

Have you really been following this saga or are you just picking and choosing what you would like to believe? This info that you think came from FOX was on CNN: you refer to his drinking problem? Where did that come from and you have referred to the letter she wrote to a congressman, but in reality it was a senator. You have every right to your opinion but please learn as much as you can about the entire story. You might be a little more credible.

‘Incredibly frustrated’: Inside the GOP effort to save Kavanaugh amid assault allegation


But Kavanaugh grew frustrated when it came to questions that dug into his private life, particularly his drinking habits and his sexual proclivities, according to three people familiar with the preparations, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. He declined to answer some questions altogether, saying they were too personal, these people said.

Kavanaugh is not a "known perjurer." He has NOT "lied under oath." That may be your opinion, but that's all it is, and you have no proof.

The liar in this case is Ms. Ford, who has yet to find ONE witness to her claim. All four supposed 'witnesses' have said they have no knowledge of such an incident or party, and the latest says she doesn't even know Kavanaugh, and has never been to a party where Ford was in attendance "with or without Kavanaugh."

The woman's story is falling apart, which may be why she does not want to testify.

and so far Ford has no credibility......her story stinks and the way she came out on the 13th hour and surrounded herself with democrat political people brings more doubt to her story and motivation.
I am surprised the left hasn't decided this is all a Trump set up of some kind or have said, Trump was at the party dressed up to look like Kavanaugh.

You see it happen over and over.


This is going to hurt women that are really harmed, as it will be harder for people to take them seriously.


Yes, let her talk to the FBI... and then let Kavanaugh show he and he family were not even in the USA that summer.

It very possible they once had a coverasation where it was discussed that it would be awesome to take him down with an accusation of rape. I could see that being a what-if conversation between like minded friends. Maybe she was uncomfortable with the possibility of having to lie herself to Congress. Once you get there lying has serious consequences.
I don't think the witnesses want any part of this lest they receive death threats from one side or the other. Best to just claim they didnt know anything and being a lightning rod.
