2 In the legal context, here is my bottom line: A “he said, she said” case is incredibly difficult to prove. But this case is even weaker than that. Dr. Ford identified other witnesses to the event, and those witnesses either refuted her allegations or failed to corroborate them. For the reasons discussed below, I do not think that a reasonable prosecutor would bring this case based on the evidence before the Committee. Nor do I believe that this evidence is sufficient to satisfy the preponderance-of-the-evidence standard.

If you get attacked or mugged one night by yourself and pick the perp out of a lineup, do the police say "it only counts if somebody else can corroborate your story" and let them go? No. No, because that is stupid, and only stupid people would think that.

They have shown the allegations to be credible.
That, and his testimony that showed he is utterly incapable of being unbiased, should be more than enough to disqualify. (And that's before we even get to the fact that most of the evidence implies that he did indeed commit sexual assault)

I know you uninformed clowns keep parroting this inaccurate nonsense, but it doesnt matter if anybody corroborates her story.

You people legitimately disgust me.
Her story doesn't need to be corroborated, you twits. That's not how these things work. Corroboration of a story isn't a necessity in proving its credibility, even in a criminal case with a much higher burden of proof.
