That’s what SHE says. This “evidence” was never presented to the SJC nor presented with her testimony. I wonder why?

Meanwhile, the evidence she DID present exonerated Kavanaugh. Not one person she said was there had any knowledge of such a party. Not one. Not even her dear friend, who also said that she does not know Kavanaugh.

You are smoking crack. Nothing exonerated him. NOt his demeanor, not his calendar, not his yearbook, not the conversations she had way before he was a SC nominee.

And all we know about the FBI investigation is that it DID NOT EXONERATE HIM. Warren told us this. She said it was incomplete, uncovered things that he had told the committee at the hearing that were FALSE, and it DID NOT EXONERATE HIM.

All of that doesn't even matter. His own speech disqualified him. And he lied under oath about drinking.What a prize, you got there, republicans

It's impossible to exonerate him when you don't have a specific date and time for the allegation. The most that can be said is that there was no corroborating evidence for CBF's allegations and at best there was very weak circumstantial evidence. In addition, there were significant weaknesses to her allegation and circumstantial evidence that undermined her and the entire process.

All of that doesn't even matter. His own speech disqualified him. And he lied under oath about drinking.What a prize, you got there, republicans

His speech no more disqualified him than RBG's pre-2016 election comments about Trump disqualified her from hearing Trump-related issues at SCOTUS. Had law school professors spoken up then, perhaps the temperament and impartiality argument would mean something now....

Excellent point. Every single SCOTUS justice is partisan, and RBG certainly made her views known about Trump. That didn't seem to illicit any outrage from the left re: impartiality. Hmm, I wonder why?

In one day on the bench, Justice Kavanaugh has now hired as many African-American Supreme Court clerks as Justice Ginsburg has in her entire SCOTUS tenure (and her 13-years on the DC Circuit, too).

New Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh has made good on his pledge to hire women to serve as his law clerks, becoming the first justice to have an all-female staff.

Kavanaugh said during his Senate confirmation hearings that he has made a special effort to hire women after reading a story years ago about the unequal balance between men and woman hired for prestigious clerkships at the Supreme Court and for other federal judges.

During his 12 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, a majority of the clerks he hired were women, which he said should be an indicator of his views about women in the workplace.

The group was working at the Supreme Court on Sunday to help prepare Kavanaugh for his debut on this Supreme Court bench this week.

Jackson is black and, like Kavanaugh, went to Yale Law School. Kavanaugh supporters noted that two of the three African Americans clerking at the Supreme Court this term previously worked for Kavanaugh.

Grammel is a former president of the Stanford Law Review, who had just started working at the Justice Department. Lacy was part of the White House team that worked on Kavanaugh’s nomination, and is a former counsel to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa). She went to law school at the University of Virginia.

Besides her clerkships, Nommensen worked at the Justice Department’s office of legal counsel. She was a student of Kavanaugh’s in the class he taught at Harvard Law School.

The story she gave on her sworn statement changed quite considerably during her interview.
None of her “witnesses” could corroborate her claims and you know damn well NBC tried to find any corroboration.

I hope that the SJC seeks an investigation for false testimony and includes Avenatti in their complaint.

It is ludicrous to think her claims are true.

That is never happening. She had witnesses who were willing to come forward to the FBI. Kavanaugh can't afford a real investigation.

DP

PP, you are in La La Land. Swetnick had witnesses?

Even Ford didn't have witnesses to the alleged assault. Were there any corroborations that dated before 2010?

She alleges she has corroborating witnesses. For the hundredth goddamned time.

You mean the other people at the gathering? They all said they had no recollection of such a party,

Oh, you mean ACTUAL collaborating witnesses! Then why didn't she mention them before? Did it take longer for her liberal friends to pressure people to change their story, like MaClean attempted with Keyser?

Brett is a s ct justice with a nearly 600 k go fund me

Dr Ford is a national hero with a million dollar go fund me, I think. Plus,the speaker circuit awaits. I hope she completes the healing process.

During Trumps weird “I DUNNO” attack on Dr Ford, I think he said downstairs, upstairs? I thought she clearly testified the incident she alleges occurred upstairs.

Aren't there rules about him accepting the GoFundMe money? It's not like he was out of pocket during his hearings for attorneys. The Federalist Society paid for everything.

I suspect she will disappear into obscurity. The Democrats no longer have any use for her. The women's groups no longer have any use for her. So she will be dropped like a hot potato. She was never used to try to find justice or to stop something terrible from happening, but purely as a political ploy by people who did not care about finding the truth.

Further, the risk of trying to stay public is that it increases the likelihood her story will unravel under closer inspection, the way it was starting to in the last few days before the confirmation. I'm of the opinion that something did happen to her, but not in the way she remembered and probably actually happened when she was in college. It would explain many of the gaps and inconsistencies ranging from her unusual failure to remember things like how she got home from the party, the failure of her good friend and classmate to remember the party, the differences between what she told her therapist and what she said to the Senate committee, and the strange refusal of her parents and siblings to publicly support her, all which strongly implies that this party did not happen, at least the way she described it. Nonetheless, the best thing is for people to move on.

I think Kavanaugh and Ford should both donate their gofundme funds to charity.

If that's the case, then her lawyers never should have dropped pursuit of the truth. But they did.

This exactly. Plus, her polygraph crossed out "early" 80s and just left the more general "80s."

What I wonder is if she knows she lied and switched the date to 1982 knowingly or in her fervor to stop a conservative SCOTUS, she convinced herself that this really happened the way she testified.
