If you tried to sexually assault that kid, then yes, an investigation may be needed.

A 17 year old can be charged as an adult btw. And in many cases, they have, though they are usually young black men.


Young black men who committed crimes. FTFY

No, young men who are accused of crimes. Cf. Central Park 5.

Ridiculous.


Then she can't do math because she does remember she was 15....


Kavanaugh, too? Christine Blasey Ford's account is missing key details

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/1346536002

Ford can’t remember the year the incident happened, she can’t remember how she got to the house party, or how she got home. She told no one about it at the time and the issue came to the forefront during a couples therapy session six years ago. Her therapist’s notes never mention Kavanaugh and actually mention four boys involved, although she says there were only two.


So she remembers she was 15 but doesn’t know the year? SHADY BS


She says the incident occurred during the summer so you think she would be able to determine the year by her age at the time or by recalling if it was the summer after freshman year, Sophomore year, etc. It should not be so hard for her to determine or recall the year. He could have been out of the country the summer in question, etc. She doesn’t seem to want to be tied down by the details of her story.

Unless your birthday is Jan 1, everyone is 15 across two different years.


Yes, but not 2 different summers.

It happened in the summer. Anyone not born in the summer only has one summer they are 15. It’s not that hard.
If I’m born Jan through May, it’s the summer right after I turned 15, if I’m born Sept. through December, it’s the summer right before I turned 16.
Even if you’re born in the summer, it’s either the summer you turned 15 or the summer you turned 16.



DOB BK=2/12/65

DOB CBF=11/28/66

Summer 1982: BK=17, CBF=15 and 1/2

Teens are arrested for this , sometimes serve jail time, and put on sex offender list. Kavanaugh should be on sex offender list!


Thanks for making the PP's point so beautifully.

There you go..........Guilty until proven innocent.
Let me just ask.... if it is discovered, somehow, that Ford is making a false claim, should she be prosecuted?


Seems the UVA accuser was never even outed or punished in any way for making her horrific false claims. I have no idea if Ford's claim is true or not, but if not - what will be the consequences?

Lol, looks like Ed Whalen was onto something--BK is apparently thinking of using the Shaggy defense:

"Kavanaugh and his allies have been privately discussing a defense that would not question whether an incident involving Ford happened, but instead would raise doubts that the attacker was Kavanaugh, according to a person familiar with the discussions."

In other words, they know he's guilty as hell.

PP here. I actually think they're trying to come up with a way to avoid accusing Dr. Ford of being a liar, since they know that won't go over well. So instead, they're going to claim that she's mistaken/confused.

Why is Feinstein refusing to give Grassley the unredacted letter Ford sent to Senate Democrats back in July?

Considering she asked for an FBI investigation - if she gets one and is proven to be lying, she is committing a felony. This isn't that hard to figure out, and I doubt you'll find many people willing to be political operatives where this is the price. If this is a Dem conspiracy, why just one accuser? Everyone knows more = more believable.

Please cite cases where liars asked for the FBI to investigate their claims.

Thank you.

because they were drunk minors, it's OK to assault someone?

No, just no.


Lots of shit is not “OK” and yet not worth marshaling the resources of federal law enforcement authorities, esp. when we all know it’s impossible to figure out the truth. Congress can listen to his darn character witnesses testify under oath and that’s that.


Then why is important to handover a SJC post to someone with that cloud o his head?[/quot

What “cloud”? I can’t explain to you how much I don’t care about this.


There are so many memos that haven’t been shared in the process. The committee needs to be able to access and read so much more. The 1998 memo is very disturbing. The type of questions he recommends asking in the Clinton-Lewinsky matter are quite abnormal and perhaps even a bit deviant.

Also wondering. Haven't heard an explanation for this.
