    You aren't a sex crimes prosecutor or defense attorney. You don't know what you're talking about. You think you can explain what you call problems with Mitchell's analysis. Let's see it. Or is it like those therapist notes, we never see it?

    It's the whole thing. Already told you that.

    Based on your logic Bill Cosby, Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein didn't sexually abuse women until they were charged
    Let's parse these out. Cosby's accusers (plural), took him to court and won. Weinstein's did the same. Why didn't Christine take Kavanaugh to court?

    The answer is that the prosecutors themselves have stated that the evidence that she submitted would be insufficient to pursue a search warrant let alone file a civil case, let alone file a criminal case. The preponderance of evidence is massively in Kavanaugh's favor.

    Now, Clinton is a different matter. His reckoning may come. We shall see.

    We have plenty of character witnesses showing Kavanaugh was a drunken scumbag
    Who?

    We have fourteen women who testified that Kavanaugh was a gentleman. All have known him for many years. All of the people that Ford brought stated that they believed Kavanaugh's account over Ford..

    , even a book by his buddy Mike Judge. In that book Judge calls him Bart. What did Kavanaugh say when he was asked if he was the same Bart? You'd have to ask him (Judge). Really? We know his nickname was Bart, he even signed a letter as Bart Kavanaugh and now he's playing dumb. There's your liar.
    So, we have Judge who can't even spell his name correctly. Does it sound like he was a particularly close friend or a reliable witness on Kavanaugh?
    My speculation based on her testimony, she didn't even want to come forward now.
    That doesn't answer the question as her testimony never dealt with the question as to why she didn't bring this up in 2003 when he was nominated for the Appellate court.


    Her husband's affadavit claims she told him Kavanaugh's name several years ago
    Where? Do you have a source for that?


    Who can remember dates?
    Kavanaugh.

    She's spent decades trying to forget about this. She said it happened the summer of '82... Do we have any evidence of a party then? Yes, Kavanaugh's own calendar.
    We have evidence supplied by Kavanaugh himself that he had parties that summer, yes.

    But do we have evidence that Christine was there for any of those parties?


    Feinstein said she released Ford's letter to the FBI when reporters showed up at Ford's home asking about her accusation and that someone else leaked her identity.
    So why didn't Feinstein bring the accusation before the Senate back in July when she knew about it?

    Ford did contact the Washington Post and Congresswoman Eshoo before a letter was sent to Feinstein, so its possible Feinstein wasn't the leaker.
    Doubtful. We have evidence that Feinstein knew about it and she has a motivation to leak the story.


    She named 3 boys - Kavanaugh, Judge and PJ - at the party.
    Still doesn't answer my question. Is there a picture showing Kavanaugh with Christine in 1982?

    The same 3 boys appear on Kavanaugh's July 1st '82 calendar entry at a party.
    They also appear in Judge's book, which Christine read prior to ever making accusations against Kavanaugh.

    She said this happened before she got her license at age 16 - she turned 16 about 4 months after July 1st. So we know the time frame. She also said she saw Mike Judge a few weeks after the incident, he was working at a local store. This stuff can be tracked down if the GOP was looking for the truth.
    Then why didn't Judge and PJ corroborate her account of being at a party with Kavanaugh? They all stated that she wasn't there at that party. Nobody saw her, not her best friend who came with her, none of the boys. All we know is that Christine knew that these boys were friends. Given what I have heard from others it seems likely that they knew of each other, especially that Christine was dating one of Kavanaugh's friends. However,

    the date wasn't asserted until AFTER Kavanaugh submitted his calendar. Christine never stated a date prior to Kavanaugh submitting her evidence. Which renders her claim suspect.

    Three pages of problems, and no there were no explanations.

    The prosecutor didn't refute her story, she called attention to discrepancies that have explanations

    Based on your logic Bill Cosby, Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein didn't sexually abuse women until they were charged - and Clinton wasn't charged, so do you think Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick lied? I dont...and I dont think Ford is lying either. We have plenty of character witnesses showing Kavanaugh was a drunken scumbag, even a book by his buddy Mike Judge. In that book Judge calls him Bart. What did Kavanaugh say when he was asked if he was the same Bart? You'd have to ask him (Judge). Really? We know his nickname was Bart, he even signed a letter as Bart Kavanaugh and now he's playing dumb. There's your liar.

    Did she say that? Or is this speculation on your part? Ford had multiple chances to disclose this information prior to now. You're right that it's being done now, and you're right that a SCOTUS nomination is the purpose. She wanted to block his nomination and smear him. She failed on both counts.
    My speculation based on her testimony, she didn't even want to come forward now.

    He also testified that she never claimed that whomever assaulted her was Kavanaugh. I don't see any evidence on Ford's side that she claimed it was Kavanaugh before 2018.
    Her husband's affadavit claims she told him Kavanaugh's name several years ago

    Ford’s husband, Russell Ford, said in his affidavit<....>

    Ford wrote that his wife named Kavanaugh
    This is why you file back in 1982 and not 35 years later. She can't remember a date and all the people who she claims were there do not corroborate her statement that there was such a party or that Kavanaugh was even in the same room as her. There's no evidence Berz. Accusing someone of attempted rape is serious business. False accusations are extremely damaging, which is why Ford needed to have substantial evidence in her favor. Is there any physical evidence that Kavanaugh was there? No. Do any of the people who were there corroborate her statement? Also no. Is there a picture showing Kavanaugh and Ford together at a party? Nope.

    We have someone who doesn't have a date, doesn't know when the alleged party occurred, doesn't remember who was there, doesn't remember where it was, and yet is 100 percent certain that she was groped, that whomever groped her 'had the intent to rape her', and that the man who did this was Kavanaugh.

    If she provided a date and place, it could be refuted easily by Kavanaugh. Which is why she hasn't provided those details. I see no evidence that they even met back then. Open an dshut.
    Did Juanita Broaddrick smear Clinton? She accused him more than 2 decades later after denying it even happened.

    Who can remember dates? She's spent decades trying to forget about this. She said it happened the summer of '82... Do we have any evidence of a party then? Yes, Kavanaugh's own calendar.

    Which raises the question why Feinstein didn't respect Christine's explicit wishes, and why she released her statement contrary to her wishes after the Kavanaugh hearings?

    Doesn't sound like someone who gives a damn about Christine. Sounds like someone using Christine for political purposes.
    Feinstein said she released Ford's letter to the FBI when reporters showed up at Ford's home asking about her accusation and that someone else leaked her identity. Ford did contact the Washington Post and Congresswoman Eshoo before a letter was sent to Feinstein, so its possible Feinstein wasn't the leaker.

    I would love to see a photo of her and Kavanaugh from the 80s, because that would show me that they actually knew each other even if they were acquaintances, but there is nothing.
    Did Kavanaugh deny knowing her? She named 3 boys - Kavanaugh, Judge and PJ - at the party. The same 3 boys appear on Kavanaugh's July 1st '82 calendar entry at a party. She said this happened before she got her license at age 16 - she turned 16 about 4 months after July 1st. So we know the time frame.

    He said just the opposite, that she never claimed it was Kavanaugh, all the time they were together.

    Not only does she not have evidence, which makes it a he said/she said case, but she has a possible ulterior motive (political) and she does not have a credible story (per Mitchell). And on to that, she said that she had evidence, but didn't produce it.

    Nope, not kidding... But if you will pick out the parts you consider impeachable I will address them.

    Feinstein was asked to keep her identity confidential

    that's basically what Brett said in his opening. And that we would pay. Which normally would have disqualified him for a non-partisan position on the highest court in that land.

    That's an expert opinion on her testimony. It's her questions, which she asked for a reason. She put her professional reputation on the line. Frankly I don't give a **** what you think, but I think you are full of ****.

    You are kidding me. I'm not going to bother with you. You are with them. You know damn well that it's a false accusation. All of you do. You are all false accusers.

    None of that has anything to do with her possibly not being aware of his confirmation in 2003.

    And yeah 35 years is a long time for things to get cloudy. But in the end, her testimony was believable and his was not.

    And for me, how he responded demonstrated to me that he doesn't have the demeanor I consider necessary to sit on the highest court of the land. Yes, that's just my opinion.
    If he had just said that he sometimes drank in excess like most younger people did at one time, then all of his other claims would have been more believable. It was obvious he was lying about that and it colored the rest of his testimony.


    Why was he so elaborate in his lie . Granted he was being accused of something grave and and I might have responded with equal animosity, but then I don't think I have the demeanor to sit on the highest court either.

    He was going to be confirmed regardless of what he said so why did he have to look so incompetent doing it? He came off as an entitled rich kid.
