Official Brett Kavanaugh Thread, Part 3

[Anonymous]

That memo changes no one's mind.

Reinforces those that think he is wrongly accused. Adds nothing new to those that believe Dr. Ford.

To the person who asked if the memo has hit the media... yes, the media that chooses to report on it.
I saw it on Twitter. Do a search for “Mitchell memo.”

Solid job. Of course, she still is most likely telling the truth.

Why? In her therapy notes she claimed she was assaulted in her late teens, not 15. In her investigation she claims she doesn't remember how she got to the party or inexplicably how she got home. How in an era before cell phones did she run out of the house and get back to her home 7 miles away and have no memory of it. If she could give the name of the person who drove her home immediately after the attempted rape, that would help the investigation immensely, but she somehow has no memory of it.

I don’t agree at all.
What I saw was an innocent man who was vehemently defending himself from egregious charges that have forever impacted his life and the lives of his wife and children.
You cannot level these allegations against a person and not expect him to be angry and defensive.
And, the “what about the lies?” trope is false and desperate.

If you want to talk about his demeanor as a judge, let’s look at his 12 years as a judge in the appellate court. Any complaints about his behavior or demeanor? NOT ONE.

Agree with second poster above. He was defending himself in a bizarre public spectacle that has very little precedent. It must have been like a strange nightmare.

If you believe him this is an outrage

So are you telling me that if a Dem wins the presidential election and nominates a liberal justice, all it will take is for someone to say he assaulted her and he's done? There's no proof of this at all. Just a lot of inconsistencies in her story.

I can easily believe that she wouldn't recall how she got to the party, but not remembering how she got back to her home seven miles away after almost being raped? This is not a credible claim.

....a nightmare that he's still in the midst of. Being accused if a near-rape, and having my high school yearbook trotted out 40 years later.

Why don't we just tie bricks to his feet, dunk him in a lake, and see if he floats?

True. Because she knows if she names the person, he or she will testify to her calm demeanor. For all we know, her dad picked her up after that gathering. No wonder how parents didn't want to attend the hearing.

Yes, and here's another thought: Surely the person who drove her home would have remembered an upset, likely crying, traumatized girl. Why hasn't he stepped up? Plus, she would have had to remain in the house, using a landline phone to call for a pickup. The other two people can't remember that she came down the stairs, after being with the two boys, and immediately called to be taken home?

Nope. I believe she was assaulted at some point, but it was in the later 80s when she was an older teen. Why did the polygraph cross out "early" and leave 80s? Why can't we see her therapist notes?

This is an outrage. She has convinced herself that it was Kavanaugh - I've seen in this forum that liberals can convince themselves of anything in reaction to their hatred of the opposite party - and he is understandably enraged by the Democrats' takedown, using Ford as a pawn.

How did she not have a conversation with her lifelong friend Leland about why she abruptly left the party the night before? There were only six people there, so Leland would have obviously realized that Christine left early. Are we really to believe that there was no conversation between these girls as to why she left the gathering early and how she got home?

It’s pretty amazing to me how and why GOP is going on the mat for this heavily tainted nominee. There are so many other conservative justices who could take his place without the baggage. To me, it seems like the GOP has gone full Trump, which means it’s always about “winning” not necessarily what’s best for the country.

Also, having Don McGhan, Kavanaugh’s primary promoter, be directing the FBI investigation seems like a bad idea.
