Nope. There are more false accusers than can be proven by the FBI. A lot of people get away with making false accusations.
On a related note Pelosi is filling a request for the FBI investigation into Ford's accusation under the FOIA. Good. Let's see it. All the Senators say that it shows that there is no corroboration for her accusation. It also shows that Ford's allies tried to get someone to change their story.

When it comes to rape, almost no one is falsely accused of that.
You are kidiot of course. You have no clue what you are talking about.

Originally posted by BBCNikki Haley: US ambassador to UN resigns
US President Donald Trump has accepted the resignation of UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.
He told reporters in the Oval Office that she would be leaving the post at the end of the year after doing "an incredible job".
Joined by the former South Carolina governor in the Oval Office, he invited her to come back in a different role. "You can have your pick," he said.
Mrs Haley was confirmed as US envoy to the UN in January 2017.
Mr Trump said Mrs Haley had told him six months ago she wanted to take some time off.
Her exit comes after she served as the temporary president of the UN Security Council for one month.
Mrs Haley's Twitter bio has already removed all references to her role as UN ambassador.Last edited by Broken_Erika; October 9, 2018, 13:45.I am not delusional! Now if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go dance with the purple wombat who's playing show-tunes in my coffee cup!

It's the final call, say scientists, the most extensive warning yet on the risks of rising global temperatures.
Their dramatic report on keeping that rise under 1.5 degrees C states that the world is now completely off track, heading instead towards 3C.
Staying below 1.5C will require "rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society".
It will be hugely expensive, the report says, but the window of opportunity is not yet closed.
After three years of research and a week of haggling between scientists and government officials at a meeting in South Korea, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued a special report on the the impacts of global warming of 1.5C.
The critical 33-page Summary for Policymakers certainly bears the hallmarks of difficult negotiations between climate researchers determined to stick to what their studies have shown and political representatives more concerned with economies and living standards.
Originally posted by BBCThe Australian government has backed coal-fired power, despite the recommendations of a major report on climate change.
Phasing out coal is considered crucial to limiting global warming to within 1.5C, as set out in the UN report released yesterday.
Australia's deputy prime minister has said the country should "absolutely" continue to use and exploit its coal.
But China remains the world's biggest coal consumer.
In addition, China has restarted work at hundreds of coal-fired power stations, according to an analysis of satellite imagery.
The Guardian reports that Michael McCormack, Australia's Deputy PM, said his government would not change policy "just because somebody might suggest that some sort of report is the way we need to follow and everything that we should do".
He added that coal provided 60% of Australia's electricity, 50,000 jobs and was the country's biggest export.I am not delusional! Now if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go dance with the purple wombat who's playing show-tunes in my coffee cup!

Time for Turnbull to go. This latest position won't help him with younger voters. His government holds a one seat majority and is in big trouble in opinion polling. That same sex marriage postal ballot initiative registered many young people.
I hear Liberal-National has trailed in opinion polling. Time for Labor to take back government and pursue more progressive policy.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

The UK has a law designed to take away the wealth of criminals who manage to launder their money through the UK. We could definitely use a law like that in the US.Zamira Hajiyeva, a 55-year-old from Azerbaijan, has been ordered to explain how she got all her money.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.
