Yeah, but with Trump flat out lying about the 'limited' investigation (he said it isn't--investigators say otherwise). He is going to get caught in this lie.

So they start following a thread, such as the friend who says that Kavanaugh became belligerent when drunk, threw a beer in a guy's face, starting a fight where one person ended up in jail. This should be very easy to verify.

But are they allowed to verify it? What happens when questions are asked, such as what did you find out about this? And they will say - nothing as we were not allowed to investigate outside the limits set by the WH. So what then? Leave it up in the air because they cannot go any further?

I thought the constant gasping for breath was a bit overdone. She must not cry much - the way you attempt to suppress tears is Head Back deep breaths. I have experience with this.

Somebody forgot to coach her properly -
"if you can't force out a few tears, then sniff a lot and rub your nose".

I think we saw the real Chrissy only a few times - a few giggles and when she threw up her head, jerked her glasses of and smoothly slid them up her head. She was angry about something somebody said on the Senate panel and I think it was Feinstein. She sure gave somebody the beady eye.
THAT was Professor Ford.

Except that Trump didn't restrict the FBI investigation.

The liberals (including Flake) who demanded the investigation, specified that it be "limited in time and scope".

They are now trying as hard as they can to pretend they didn't say it.

This is the problem with the MeToo movement. It brings the fringe out because now all woman are empowered. I am NOT diminishing the way woman are treated and condone any unwanted sexual advances. But pulling a 30+ year old accusation out of a hat with such perfect timing to destroy is suspect.

I must have missed the part where she said she was an alcoholic at age 15.

Different people remember things different ways. My own family can discuss an event or incident and all have differing recollections about what actually occurred,

If you want to discredit her, you may want to take a different route. At least educate yourself on the subject as much as she did.
Sorry this happened to you. Traumatic events are processed differently and stored in the brain differently so this makes perfect sense. This is a really interesting article about trauma and memory.

First, the accuser has to prove her case and she cannot do so. Second, there is far more evidence on his side than on hers. He's produced a calendar/journal. He's passed six deep FBI background checks. He has never been accused of anything untoward in all the years of his career, towards his staff or anyone else for that matter. The man is innocent. She can't even prove she ever met him, where the supposed party took place, when it took place, how she got there, or how she got home. There are conflicting accounts of how many people were there or who was there. There are so many holes in her story.

That was NOT a legit test. It asked only 2 questions and nothing about the assault.

This is the most suspicious thing about her story.

Nothing she provides proves her story or disproves it...…….even the witnesses.

And, no detail she provides allows for Kavanaugh to defend himself with an alibi or some other way.

Perfect crime scenario in reverse.

Add to that a victim with an elite private high school education, degrees up to a PhD from some of the most prestigious universities in the country who testified in front of the entire country that she doesn't know the word "exculpatory".

Right...…….she obliterated every piece of exculpatory evidence from her ficticious crime scene and we are supposed to be stupid enough to believe she doesn't know what the word means.

She's crazy like a fox imo.

Congrats. I think you are the first person who successfully found ANYTHING on her.

Exactly. Most abusers don't solicit witnesses to their acts. And, there is only a 6 % conviction rate in rapes, let alone attempted rapes, which are probably not even statistically significant as far as convictions.
