Except the Democrats will have sense enough to prevent such a thing. Something the Republicans failed to do, while they were bending over backwards to accommodate the Democrats, thinking it would make them look fair and be reciprocated.
JULY 6: Christine Ford sends a letter to Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) alleging that she was sexually assaulted in high school by Brett Kavanaugh, a leading contender to fill the Supreme Court seat vacated by Justice Anthony Kennedy. Ford also sends a text about the incident to the Washington Post. The assault allegedly took place in the early 1980s, when Ford was 15 and Kavanaugh was 17.

JULY 10: Ford contacts the Washington Post for the second time, and gets a response. She starts having conversations with a reporter at the paper off the record via WhatsApp. The app is encrypted, meaning its contents cannot be access by a third party. To use it, Ford's phone number would be known to the Washington Post.
JULY 18: Ford meets with Rep. Eshoo's staff.
JULY 20: Ford meets with Rep. Eshoo and discusses her fears about going public with the allegations. Ford is assured that the issue will be kept confidential. Rep.

JULY 30: Rep. Eshoo hand-delivers Ford's letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein's office, including a request from Ford that the letter be kept confidential.
JULY 30-AUG 7: Ford interviews a number of attorneys and hires a lawyer during this period of time. Feinstein's office recommends some potential attorneys to Ford. The one she hires - Debra Katz, of Katz, Marshall & Banks - was one of Feinstein's recommendations.
EARLY AUGUST: Kavanaugh has private meetings with Republican Senators to discuss his nomination.
AUG. 7: Ford and Sen. Feinstein discuss her allegations over the phone. Ford also takes and passes a privately-administered polygraph test that was arranged by her lawyer.

SEPT. 12: Feinstein turns over a redacted version of the letter to the FBI. The FBI adds the letter to Kavanaugh's background check file, making it accessible to all Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
SEPT. 13: Feinstein releases a statement saying: 'I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision. I have, however, referred the matter to federal investigative authorities.'
SEPT. 14: CNN reports that the letter describes a sexual assault allegation against Kavanaugh.
SEPT. 16: Ford gives an on-the-record interview to the Washington Post. She says she was pressured to go public after 'multiple reporters' showed up at her home and workplace. She did not say when they were there or what outlets they were from.

Hirono won’t deny that Democrats leaked Ford’s letter
RNC Research
As you watch the video below, just remember that, contrary to her little-girl voice and demeanor, Christine Blasey Ford:
Is a 52-year-old (she’ll be 53 in November), middle-aged professional woman.
Has not one, but three, degrees in psychology, which means she is knowledgeable about polygraph tests and emotional manipulation:
B.A., Psychology, U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1988.
M.A., Clinical Psychology, Pepperdine University, 1991.
Ph.D., Educational Psychology & Research Design, U. of Southern California, 1996.
Is a professor of both teaching and research, which means she is experienced in public speaking and public appearances.
This is the most obscene moment in American societal history, when the entire Democrat controlled MSM and Democrat party has purposely subverted the foundation of America: the rule of law, and replaced it with mob rule where any target can be politically assassinated on a false accusation.

BREA KING: Sex Crimes Prosecutor Rachel Mitchell COMPLETELY EXONERATES Judge Kavanaugh in NEW REPORT!
After a careful review of all of the evidence put fourth by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford in her accusations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell has released a report which completely exonerates the judge.
Sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell, a non-partisan third-party with more than 25 years’ experience prosecuting sex crimes in the state of Arizona, carefully reviewed the allegations made by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, including hours of testimony, and has released a report on the matter. In the report, Mitchell points out more than a dozen glaring inconsistencies in Dr. Ford’s account and paints the accusations as potentially fraudulent.
Mitchell’s points out several points, including:
click link for entire article...
Well she was thorough in her review of the situation. Frankly Ford and Democrats need to be investigated for this bs stunt.
Larger images for those who use the braille system.
The most damning part according to the report / article -
In perhaps her most damning finding, Rachel Mitchell writes that “The activities of congressional Democrats and Dr. Ford’s attorney’s likely affected her account”. Mitchell ostensibly alleges that the maneuvering of congressional Democrats, and the actions of her attorneys, who acted more like handlers, influenced her account of events, and perhaps even her truthfulness. This may have come out as Mitchell’s lines of questioning were repeatedly interrupted by her attorneys, namely Michael Bromwich, who also represents Andrew McCabe.
Touching on the Yale accuser. During his background investigations over the years it was disclosed the FBI did speak to people who were at Yale with him. The 2nd accusers claims could not be corroborated either. Nothing popped at Yale from the previous FBI background investigations relating to Kavanaugh.
Now, as for Ford and her situation / testimony and influence by Democrats. That is actually a crime to tamper with a victim / witness. Even though state charges wont apply Federal charges for the same thing can occur because she was a sworn witness in an official congressional hearing. The other possibility that was raised is she was manipulated by Democrats. During her testimony she was asked several questions, like for instance if she knew the committee had offered to travel to California to interview her. She stated she was not aware of that offer. If she is telling the truth it is possible she was walled off from society to ensure Democrats could control the narrative. I dont think Democrats thought this would go as far as it did and were caught unprepared, again blowing up in their faces.
She needs to undergo a mental health examination to see if she was manipulated.
Secondly the 5 gofundme pages need to be investigated to determine who donated. This looks like a way to pay off people who come forward to make false allegations. Her house is worth about 3.2 million dollars and the 2 lawyers said they were representing her pro bono. She doesnt know who paid for the polygraph test either.
Grassley has already sent a criminal referral to the DOJ regarding the 3rd accuser regarding the boat in Rhode Island. That referral will ensnare Sen. Whitehouse who was caught trying to peddle the story to the media. When the reporter called him out one of his aides contacted the reporter to essentially beg him not to disclose the incident. He expressed concern it would look like Democrats were behind a coordinated effort.
The irony...
Now, the good news is Democrats have dug the hole so deep they are close to breaking thru into China. A country whose policies and government actions are more in line with Democrats plan.

ETA - 1 final note regarding statute of limitations in Maryland and the law in general
When a crime occurs the laws on the books at that time are whats required to be used. In this case the 2 laws on the books (36 years ago) at the time that would apply were misdemeanors and not felony. That means there was a 1 year statute of limitations for prosecution. There is absolutely no possibility to criminal charges. The police agency and prosecutor for the county in Maryland received a criminal investigation request from Democrats. They received a letter back declining, specifically citing statute of limitations.
In addition to crimes the statute of limitations at the time are whats used and not current law. In addition court sentencing / punishments are required to follow the law at the time. This is why some murder cases today that occurred decades ago are not eligible for the death penalty. At the time the homicide occurred is when the Supreme Court struck down all death penalty convictions.

You'll see just how long this 'but we must believe her!' act of the Democrats will last when they start calling Mitchell a partisan hack. You know its coming, I know its coming.
