new kavanaugh sexual assault allegations

[Anonymous]

The WAPO article said that the authors had talked to a "veteran FBI" agent about this. Does this mean a retired FBI agent?

Also, it says that the "intermediaries" for Stier went to the FBI? Were these lawyers? Neighbors? Employees? Classmates? Kind of vague. And, for someone as well-wired into the DC establishment, why would he need intermediaries? Makes no sense.

It really isn't an "omission" as Mollie would suggest, but rather an incomplete investigation.

Would this be the 2nd witness who heard about the incident from a friend?
Please - this piece was so poorly sourced that it should have never been printed. Same with the book coming out.

What makes no sense is that this article, and the book itself, was even published to begin with.
The authors did not talk to the subjects whom they write about. They have no statements from them. Pitiful sourcing.

+1.

This is not journalism.

This is a parody of journalism.

You will never know what the other justices think. They, like the woman from the party who refused to be interviewed or comment, know that discretion is more powerful than gossip.

And a brilliant strategy to sell the book. First, everyone was slavering to see what was in the book, now they want to see what is not in the book. A savvy strategy from a marketing person who probably attended many a drunken dorm party.

Yup.

The NYT is little but a marketing and advertising machine.

The NYT has updated the piece tonight to say that the earlier version omitted something from the book. That "something" was that the female student who was the alleged victim declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall the incident.

In other words, she doesn’t want her life to be ruined by relentless harpies like you people. I can’t blame her.

Really. Show us an example of a ruined life? All the liars thus far have lived their lives just fine. Making up things and coming forward hasn’t hurt anybody except the accused.

That’s ok. The ruined lives along the way are all fine. Means justifies the end to the liberal mind. A mind that manages to lie itself in some weird loop. Liberalism is a mental disease devoid of logic and facts. This board shows that in spades.

Christine Blasey Ford, Kavenaugh’s first accuser (attempted rape, if you recall). Her life will never be the same because of crazies like you. Meanwhile, her attempted rapist sits on the Supreme Court. I would’t say that his life is in ruins. But you know that - and you enjoy that she will punished forever for being a victim of entitled male aggression, misogynism, and sheer stupidity from right wingers who refuse to even consider that the deeply flawed people that they admire could be sexual predators, conmen, and traitors. If you people weren’t so loathsome, I’d almost feel sorry for you.

Thank G-d, you aren't on the Supreme Court. You have found Kavanaugh guilty of attempted rape based on the non-recall of a troubled woman who was used by the Democratic Party to advance an agenda.

Another little tidbit omitted from this horrible NYTImes hit piece......

Placed at the *very* end of the book is a stunning detail, per
@MZHemingway
: "’It just didn't make any sense,’ lifelong friend Leland Keyser told NYT reporters about Ford's allegations, adding ‘I don't have any confidence in the story.’”

Do you know how many times Christie Blasey Ford had to move because of death threats from crazed right wingers? The Republican smear machine is a terrible thing.

No, do you?

such a teeny weeny omission...by such esteemed journalists...we're all SHOCKED at the oversight!

The thing is when I read this story, I thought, "give it 24 hours before they reverse". I can honestly say my heart rate didn't even fluctuate when I read this since the humiliation of the once venerable institution of journalism is complete. I wish the President would find such grace, be less publicly reactive and trust more.

+1 PP here. I agree.

You're a despicable person. Both you and the PP.

DP. What is despicable about wanting a free press that reports accurately?

That's fine. But, that says a lot about you. None of it good.

You do recognize your narrative has been undermined resembling the separation of the San Andreas fault, right? That says a lot about you. None of it good. This is the point where you say, "Well, that was embarrassing."

Does the first PP actually care about swinging dicks now?

With all due respect, I'll leave that for you to firm up.

PP should bring this question to the head.

What a cocky response, PP!!!

She had been given an advance copy of the upcoming book by the NYTimes reporters to review. That is how she knew about the omission.

But, some posters here questioned Hemmingway's credibility and journalistic integrity.
Glad to know she was vindicated.

Her book on the confirmation process is a must read.

Agreed. It was excellent. And, concerning at the same time. I feel sorry for the next SCOTUS nominated by a Republican. Hope that person has very thick skin and an extremely supportive family and cadre of friends.

Or...the next nominee isn't shady. Like Gorsuch (or Garland).

A real investigation - as we deserved- would have been a key part of assuring Americans, especially women, that we should trust he did not; or if he did shove his penis into multiple women's bodies while they were all drunk, that he'd taken steps to reduce the chances he would continue that behavior now that he is on the highest court in the land.

The Republicans have degraded and undermined every institution we have in this country.

Your one-sided desperation in hoping to unseat him is duly noted.

Those who don't want to see a conservative-leaning justice on the Supreme Court will make up shady accusations, if they think needed to prevent that person being seated.
