And, we don’t like this good man’s family being a target of mocking. And, we don’t like mobs of people accosting elected officials because THEY think they have a larger 1st Amendment right to do so.

His what name? He cut his teeth dogging the Clintons, harassing the Foster family. Did you mind all that mocking he helped subject the families to? His background check for his first judgeship took 30 months and he only got pushed through at W’s personal request. He perjured himself in 2006, to say nothing of his hearing this summer. He has no good name, and it is all his own doing.

Also, there are three accusations against him. I wonder how many you’d need to begin to suspect that maybe, perhaps, possibly Brett isn’t quite so well behaved as you’d like to suspect.

One credible one would suffice. We have not seen that.

You haven’t seen Dr. Christine Blasey Ford? I envy you the tropical island you found to hide on these last few weeks.

Emotional testimony does not equal credible. A 36-year old allegation with no corroborating evidence presented is not credible. The people she claims were present all having no knowledge of the event is not credible. Her best friend stating she doesn’t know Kavanaugh is not credible. Not knowing where, when, how she got there and how she got home is not credible.

Several memory/trauma experts have weighed in on this and said that this is actually plausible. Kavanaugh supporters have chosen to ignore or dismiss the opinion of subject matter experts.

Plausible? Maybe. Tell me why nobody has come forward to say they drove her home. Tell me why none of those in attendance have any memory of the event. Tell me why Leland, her best friend at the time, doesn’t know Kavanaugh. Tell me why she could leave Leland alone with 4 boys, two of which allegedly just tried to rape/accidentally kill her. Tell me why she can remember running to the street and thinking how happy she was that she got away but was not bothered enough with thinking about how in the hell she was going to get home. Tell me why Leland and she never discussed this event after she left so abruptly.
There are just way too many holes in her story to make it credible.

Well, it is on Kavanaugh’s calendar. Besides, no one else was almost raped, why would they remember a party three decades ago? You seem not that logical.

You are blatantly lying now.

No one forgets where they were raped.

A party at Timmy's was on his calendar for a particular date. But if you go way back to the initial account, Ford did not know the date, the month, or even the year. During summer was exact as she got. Therapist notes said 80's and late teens. On the written note for the polygrapher she initially wrote early 80s and then scratched out early.

No, the calendar is not corroborating evidence.

Have we ever gotten an answer as to how Kavanaugh knew which summer's calendar to provide as "evidence"?

Good. I hope those survivors can convince him that Kavanaugh should pay for the sins of their attackers.

Perhaps he's wondering if any actual rape victim forgot where it happened.

Neither did Ford - it was in an upstairs bedroom in a Bethesda house she could draw the floor plan of.

I repeat: not remembering these details is entirely consistent with traumatic events, in which some aspects are remembered and even reexperienced (smells, sensations, etc.) in full detail, and others are forgotten or blocked out. Please read the accounts of experts if you're interested (although I know you won't).

And, some of us are a bit tired of this excuse as a way to rationalize her total lack of evidence and corroboration.
Convenient that she herself has some background about trauma and how the memory fails sometimes, wouldn’t you say?

Testimony is evidence, have you ever been to a trial? Or perhaps the FBI could contact the 8 people she identified.

Yep, near the country club.

It is NOT on his calendar. The July 1 party at Timmy’s was in Rockville—11 miles from CCC. This has been established. Her boyfriend at the time was also there. How does that fly??

I also have to wonder how many of the women are from the Center for Popular Democracy.

Anyone know of any legal protests scheduled/taking place in DC tomorrow? I cannot participate in any that are not legal (my own security clearance at stake), but I’d love to take part in one that is appropriately permitted.

Just a coincidence that she knew exactly who he was partying with that summer? Only to closed minds.

And yet you STILL have not provided a rationale for why and how she decided to target a man named Brett Kavanaugh and knew he had a best friend named Mike Judge and started the ruse up more than 6 years ago.
