Ford - Kavanaugh Hearings 9-27-18

Two things stand out so far to me...
Ford ADMITS her motive is to STOP Kav's appointment.
Ford is 100% sure it was Kav...but NOT sure of much else.

She's confirming her own bias.

Now that Ford has confirmed under oath her lifelong
friend Leland was at this party, it seems highly unlikely
that her friend would not recall being at the party
or having ever met Kavanaugh, in fact she "does not know him".

Her lifelong freind's account contradicts her story.

that is a tough one to reconcile and I really hope the prosecutor actually asks her about this......

That prosecutor suddenly gave me the urge to go to the health club. I'll check in and see what's going on when I get back.

I don't see how it isn't over for Kavanaugh.

The right's strategy under this 5 min format is the equivalent of not having asked any questions at all. There are only eight 5 min sessions left. What do you think can be accomplished in that time?

He's done. And the right did it to him.

Gillibrand already out in the break lobbying for votes by telling the press how wonderful Ford is.
What a scumbag.

CNN in bold font “Ford is 100% sure Kavanaugh sexually assaulted me”

You forgot the /sarc tag. This is nothing but political grandstanding!

What has she said that have added any credibility to her statements?

Yes, thank you for finding that.

Her lifelong friend who Ford claims was at this party
has no recollection of going to this party!

This is evidence that is being ignored by those
who desperately want to believe Ms Ford.

would your lifelong friend NOT know you were assaulted?
no discussion of "why you ditched me at that party"? "how did you get home"? "did you score with judge"?

i find that hard to believe
"lifelong" friends talk dont they?

Good observation! I'll start watching for that pattern.

Why can't anyone else here watch this with impartiality?

Because we're sick of partisan hacks delaying this purposely. How can you NOT see it?

There is no evidence.

I know, there hasn't been evidence since the beginning. Just her allegations.

How many people remember every party they went to in high school? Considering Ford never told her what happened it would have just been another party for Keyser with no reason to remember it.

You don't think that Keyser would not remember when a friend just disappeared from a small party and she was then the only girl left there? She would have even asked Ford afterwards which would have added to such a memory of the event.

Kavanaugh should be disqualified even if he associated with her just based on looks. She is one ugly broad. Looks like she did a 100 yd dash in a 90 yd gym and hit the wall face first. Yes, I know, I’m very shallow.

Thats the problem - not one piece of additional information that could help her seem more credible.
But, she HAS slipped up.

Well you are correct.

But what are we supposed to do without any evidence or any corroborating witnesses?

How can you find him guilty, even if ford sounds reasonable?

a reply to: Guyfriday

True! I would not find it unlikely for her to have known a guy she was interested in was upstairs and for her to use the bathroom as an excuse to go up there. She opens the door and he is surprised. Maybe his friend comes in and laughs at his friend with little Chrissy Blasey and she gets her feelings hurt. Maybe that's why the boys "scrapped" because one embarrassed the other. Maybe the boy that came in was the one who actually liked her and he was angry his best friend was found with his crush in a bedroom. I mean there are so many feasible theories that I don't know why her story has to be automatically true without any evidence that this was even assault or that Kavanaugh was even there.

Under what evidence?

Just from watching she is very nervous, brave and I believe in her honesty.

I wonder if she has read Judge’s book.

Here's a nice monkey wrench to throw in this farce.

VANCOUVER — Who is more likely to be victimized by teen dating violence? If you’re quick to think it’s girls, new data shows you’re wrong. In a surprising twist, recently published research indicates boys are more likely to report being victims of dating violence committed by partners who hit, slap or push them.

Yes the format sucks.

And yes she needs to get more agressive in her questions.

But I dont think its over, i think that she is getting facts, and will now use them to ask harder questions

Exactly...doesnt mention it to her friend she left there with supposed sexual assaulters, but walks up to say hello to one of the boys she says was in the room a few weeks later....
