[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is getting worse and worse. The NYT will never recover from this abomination.
Apparently the authors of the article never even talked to the not victim.
What a own goal from the “worlds greatest newspaper”[/quote]

Evidently, they never talked to Max Stier either - the former Clinton attorney  who made the original accusation (but was not actually present when the alleged incident occurred).

And, one of the authors was a classmate of Kavanaugh and Stier.  Go figure.  [/quote]

1. Do we know that Stiers was never interviewed?
2. If not, do we know what he said in his letter?  Did he name the "victim?"  
3. Do you think that when you report something to the FBI that they come back to you and give you a "follow up" report?  
Do you think they tell you who they interviewed and what they said?

Remember, the authors did not talk to Stiers.  They talked to two "officials."  We don't even know who they were or if they were FBI.  It could have been Coons and Feinstein for all we know.

They did talk to Keyser who did not tell them what they wished to hear.[/quote]

1.  [quote]Reporters Kate Kelly and Robin Pogrebin had written a weekend essay for the Times about their new book, “The Education of Brett Kavanaugh,’’ that revealed the accusation. The writers relied on allegations leveled by a man who was at a drunken Yale University dorm party where the incident supposedly happened about 30 years ago. [b] Neither the man, politically connected Democrat Max Stier, nor the alleged victim spoke to the reporters, but the writers said they communicated with people who had.[/b][/quote]

2.  As far as I know, Chris Coons is the only person who has seen the letter. 
[quote]Four days before the U.S. Senate voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court last year, Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., tipped off the FBI to a new claim of sexual assault levied against the federal judge.

Revealed to the public in multiple reports on Monday, the claim was at least the third such allegation known to the Delaware senator during the tumultuous months after President Donald Trump nominated Kavanaugh, a conservative, to replace the reliably moderate Anthony Kennedy.

The allegation came from Max Stier, CEO of an influential Washington, D.C., nonprofit, who told Coons he witnessed Kavanaugh expose his penis to a woman during a party at a Yale University dorm in the 1980s.

Through a spokesperson, Stier declined to comment for this story.

Coons, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, found the story to be credible, said Sean Coit, a spokesman for the senator. Asked whether Coons considered publicizing the claim at the time, the spokesman said Stier had "requested confidentiality, which Sen. Coons respected." [/quote]

3.  That depends.  On lots of factors.  Usually, no.  [/quote]
