Ford's Accusation against Kavanaugh Is Not Credible
By J. Marsolo
The Dems and the media said Bill Clinton's sexual misconduct, including the rape of Juanita Broaddrick, was irrelevant to Clinton serving as president. They also said Teddy Kennedy's driving his car into the pond drunk at Chappaquiddick, leaving Mary Jo Kopechne to die, while he swam away and waited twelve hours to report to the police, was irrelevant to him serving as senator and running for the presidency.
Now the Dems and the media say any claim of sexual misconduct, no matter how remote and unreliable, is enough to destroy the life of Brett Kavanaugh because they are afraid he will cast a vote to overrule Roe v. Wade.
Christine Blasey Ford sent a letter dated July 30, 2018 to Dianne Feinstein stating that in the early 1980s, she was at a "gathering" at a home in suburban Maryland with four others. Brett Kavanaugh and Mark Judge, both drunk, forced her into a room and locked the door, and Kavanaugh then got on top of her. Judge also "periodically" jumped on top of both. Kavanaugh put a hand over her mouth and she believed he would "inadvertently" kill her. At one point, Judge jumped on both again, and she took this "opportune" moment to run outside and go home.
Ford reported this incident to her "local government representative" on July 6, 2018.
Ford wrote to Feinstein to provide "relevant information regarding the current nominee" to the Supreme Court.
It is important to read the actual letter to see how unreliable it is:
July 30 2018 CONFIDENTIAL
Senator Dianne Feinstein
Dear Senator Feinstein;
I am writing with information relevant in evaluating the current nominee to the Supreme Court. As a constituent, I expect that you will maintain this as confidential until we have further opportunity to speak. Brett Kavanaugh physically and sexually assaulted me during high school in the early 1980's. He conducted these acts with the assistance of REDACTED. Both were one to two years older than me and students at a local private school.
The assault occurred in a suburban Maryland area home at a gathering that included me and four others. Kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom as I was headed for a bathroom up a short stair well [sic] from the living room. They locked the door and played loud music precluding any successful attempt to yell for help. Kavanaugh was on top of me while laughing with REDACTED, who periodically jumped onto Kavanaugh. They both laughed as Kavanaugh tried to disrobe me in their highly inebriated state. With Kavanaugh's hand over my mouth I feared he may inadvertently kill me. From across the room a very drunken REDACTED said mixed words to Kavanaugh ranging from "go for it" to "stop."
At one point when REDACTED jumped onto the bed the weight on me was substantial. The pile toppled, and the two scrapped with each other. After a few attempts to get away, I was able to take this opportune moment to get up and run across to a hallway bathroom. I locked the bathroom door behind me. Both loudly stumbled down the stair well at which point other persons at the house were talking with them. I exited the bathroom, ran outside of the house and went home. I have not knowingly seen Kavanaugh since the assault. I did see REDACTED once at the REDACTED where he was extremely uncomfortable seeing me.
I have received medical treatment regarding the assault. On July 6 I notified my local government representative to ask them [sic] how to proceed with sharing this information. It is upsetting to discuss sexual assault and its repercussions, yet I felt guilty and compelled as a citizen about the idea of not saying anything.
I am available to speak further should you wish to discuss. I am currently REDACTED and will be in REDACTED.
In confidence, REDACTED.
Ford did not report this until 2012, when she was in couples' therapy, where she reported it to her therapist. The therapist notes do not include Kavanaugh's name, which Ford blames on the therapist. Her husband, Russell Ford, said he remembered his wife specifically using Kavanaugh's name during the 2012 therapy session and that they were concerned that Kavanaugh would be nominated to the Supreme Court.
First, why, if this happened, didn't this 15-year-old girl immediately tell her parents that she was attacked and then report to the police? The police could then have questioned everyone at the "gathering." She says she thought Kavanaugh would inadvertently kill her, yet she does not report this to her parents and the police? This isn't credible. According to the Post, her explanation is as follows:
My biggest fear was, do I look like someone just attacked me? I'm not ever telling anyone this. This is nothing, it didn't happen, and he didn't rape me.
Her parents would not believe her because she didn't look as though someone had attacked her? What parents will not believe their 15-year-old daughter who runs home to tell them drunken boys tried to rape her?
Second, Kavanaugh has been investigated by the FBI for appointments to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, White House counsel, and other federal jobs. Why didn't Ford call the FBI so the FBI could investigate Kavanaugh?
Third, Mark Judge has denied the accusation.
Fourth, according to her husband, the motivation for telling the therapist in 2012 was that Kavanaugh might be appointed to the Supreme Court. This shows political motivation: she does not want Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, although she did not care that he was on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Fifth, why write to a "local government representative" on July 6, 2018 and then Feinstein on July 30, 2018 instead of contacting the FBI? The "local" Democrat and Feinstein should have immediately referred this to the FBI for investigation. Feinstein should have immediately shared the letter with the entire Judiciary Committee so members could question Kavanaugh. Instead, Feinstein played a political game to wait for an ambush.
Sixth, note the odd language in the letter. She was at a "gathering," not a party. She contacted her "local Democratic representative" to find out how to proceed. She is a college professor, yet she acts as though she doesn't know to call the FBI. She says she received "medical treatment" "for the assault," but aside from one couples therapy session in 2012, there is no mention of any other treatment.
Seventh, Ford said there were four boys at the "gathering." Her attorney, Debra Katz, now says there was a girl present.
Ford's letter of July 30 and her therapy notes of 2012 show her motivation and provide much material for a vigorous cross-examination if this were a case handled by real attorneys.
Unfortunately, we have weak Republicans who will be afraid to ask Ford tough questions for fear of backlash and bad press from the swamp. The Dems will give speeches attacking Kavanaugh and Trump. Kavanaugh will testify with candor and credibility that he did not attack Ford. There is no pattern or other accusations, as with Bill Clinton and others.
We do not know if Ford will appear on Monday, September 24 to testify under oath and answer questions on cross-exam. The latest is that Ford wants the FBI to investigate before she testifies. The bottom line is that Ford and the Dems and the media want to delay the vote and hope Kavanaugh withdraws.
Ford and the Dems and the media know that her story will not hold up.

It's disappointing that no republican senator, at least to my knowledge, has had the courage to say that this incident, even if true, is far too remote and trivial to warrant derailing a Supreme Court nomination.
If, and it's a big IF this happened, it's impossible to know what was actually going on without proper context. Were these just drunk kids falling over each other on a bed. It happens, and it's not always done with ill intentions. I can however see how a young girl pinned on the bottom of the pile could be nervous about things. Does that rise to sexual assault? Not in that context, but what really went on, if anything at all went on? Kavanaugh says it never happened at all, he is a man of outstanding character from what we know other than this allegation, so we must go with that given there is no evidence to prove otherwise.
All that said, it would be political suicide to call this trivial.
Grassley: Judiciary Committee Willing to Make Concession for Blasey Ford
Cortney O'Brien
Posted: Sep 19, 2018 1:21 PM
The Senate Judiciary Committee has reportedly offered to interview Christine Blasey Ford in California, her home state, about her accusation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Chairman Chuck Grassley said they want her to feel "comfortable" telling her story.
But, he noted that the committee is not going to honor her request that the FBI investigate the incident, which reportedly happened over 36 years ago.
Ford's lawyers complained about the setup of Monday's hearing in a letter to Grassley, charging that he was going to make her sit at the same table with Kavanaugh and that many Republican senators had already made up their mind about her. Grassley's team refuted those claims and said Monday's hearing would proceed as planned.
Nearly everyone, including President Trump, has noted that Ford deserves to be heard.

Problem is, she has been heard. There's no there, there. And that's why she and her leftist handlers have decided to play this new stall tactic. It's unwise, IMO, to accommodate them much longer.

Nolte: Kavanaugh Accuser’s Classmate Deletes Claim that Everyone Knew of Alleged Misconduct

Cristina King Miranda, who says she is a former classmate of Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford, has deleted her claim that everyone knew of the alleged misconduct.
Ford is accusing Supreme Court nominee Kavanaugh of groping her at a house party 36 years ago when they were both teenagers in high school. After Ford came forward, she told the far-left Washington Post that Ford “told no one at the time what happened to her.”
Nevertheless, on Tuesday, Miranda tweeted that she knew both Kavanaugh and Ford and that “the incident was spoken of for days afterwards in school.”
If true, this would be a big deal. As of now, Ford says she did not tell anyone about the allegation until 2012, which means there are no contemporaneous witnesses who can come forward to claim Ford told them about this at the time.
Furthermore, even in 2012, Ford did not tell her therapist the name of the man who allegedly assaulted her. She only spoke of the incident and a classmate who is now a big deal in Washington, DC. Basically, Ford did not accuse Kavanaugh by name until he was nominated to the Supreme Court.
After it was pointed out to Miranda that her claim about the incident being “spoken of for days afterwards” directly contradicted a statement from the alleged victim, Miranda deleted her claim.
“Hi all, deleted this because it served its purpose and I am now dealing with a slew of requests for interviews from The Wash Post, CNN, CBS News,” she tweeted. “Organizing how I want to proceed. Was not ready for that, not sure I am interested in pursuing. Thanks for reading.”
The key words there are “not sure I am interested in pursuing.”

Then prepare to have countless careers and lives ruined by decades old unprovable claims, accompanied by tearful women making lurid allegations against their political enemies. Where does it end?
By treating this seriously, the senators have painted themselves into a corner, where they either have to dismiss this woman as a liar or block a superb nominee over some drunken teenage grab ass that resulted in nothing.
So what if he got a bunch of speeding tickets as a teen? Or a DUI? What if someone says he cheated on a test in junior high? Are those disqualifying as well? What if someone says he used the N word?
Eric Holder led the takeover of an administrative building while in college in which a rifle was waved around. Few republicans would have the stones to oppose his nomination though. They voted to confirm him as AG. This is a one-way game, and as usual, republicans are playing to lose.
