I think that's true. The fact that Garrett and Kavanaugh looked alike back then is curious, though I'm sure the kids all knew who was who.

Agree.

I think they have the girlfriend ready to rebut.

I believe this could be true. There is nobody left to hear from except the people who lived in the house.

Even if she avoids testifying under oath the four witnesses at the party can say it was Garrett and not Kavanaugh. Garrett can say it was “heavy petting” that got out of hand and he’s sorry.

If she lied about one thing or got a key fact wrong, her case collapses. She’s been super vague. They boxed her in.

Senate would not prosecute her anyway. She’s mixed up and some groping perhaps took place. Discrediting her is enough.

Ed apologized but didn’t renounce his theory:

“I made an appalling and inexcusable mistake of judgment in posting the tweet thread in a way that identified Kavanaugh’s Georgetown Prep classmate,” said Whelan, a former clerk of Antonin Scalia and president of the think tank Ethics and Public Policy Center.

“I take full responsibility for that mistake, and I deeply apologize for it. I realize that does not undo the mistake.” His did not address the substance of his

“...OUTED GARRETT...”

My theory is that Garret agreed to be outed because he knows Ford’s accusations never did occur (although the gathering may have occurred - probably Kavanaugh was not there at all) or he knows it was him, but had done nothing criminal.

Kavanaugh’s friends must be very are angry, smart, and ready to prove it wasn’t him.

Sworn statements:

Kavanough - check

Judge - check

Third person - check Garrett? Or other female?

She hasn’t named a place or a date has she?

What’s to stop her from just saying that it was a different party?

Geez, I just wish this was over. We can’t count on the media to call the rats on their lies.

That would imply some specific knowledge about THIS party that she claims she doesn't have. She would have no reason to say it wasn't this party when she says she can't recall anything about it except it was near the country club and Kavanaugh was there.

Smyth was named by her and denies it happened.

The female classmate is the one not yet public.

I'll revise my "dram scenario" idiocy I presented last night:

1. Ford and her lawyers discuss these fast-breaking revelations over the next several days. Ford gets a grand total of about two hours of heavily-medicated sleep between now and Monday morning.

2. Ford's lawyers claim that she can't testify on Monday because she has a fear of flying ... then she can't testify on Tuesday because she has a fear of days that begin with the letter "T" ... then she can't testify on any day that ends with "day" ... then she can't testify at all because she'll be under close medical supervision indefinitely to treat her unusual medical condition (she's allergic to oxygen).

3. Brett Kavanaugh shows up and testifies alone next week, recognizes Ford's plight, and forgives her as any decent Christian would.

4. Public support for Kavanaugh goes off the charts, and he is quickly confirmed.

5. Dianne Feinstein is thrown off the Judiciary Committee, which becomes a moot point in November when she loses to the Mexican communist Ponce de Leon in her re-election bid.

6. Cory Booker proclaims: "I am Spartacus!" ... then announces he intends to crucify himself in front of the Capitol. Nobody follows him because nobody believes him anyway. He is later caught engaged in an erotic homosexual act in the men's bathroom with his imaginary friend "T-Bone."

7. Ruth Bader Ginsburg announces her retirement in a barely-audible whisper. She croaks: "Only the Great Orange Donkey-Kong is worthy to pick my successor." ... and promptly checks herself into the B'nai B'rith Homecrest House retirement home in Silver Spring.

8. Rod Rosenstein declares: "Those goyim prep-school boys had more fun in one weekend than I've had in my whole life." ... and announces his resignation as Deputy U.S. Attorney General.

9. Ed Whelan is nominated by President Trump to succeed him.

10. Jeff Sessions announces his resignation as U.S. Attorney General, gently citing a discomfort with all these "northern Catholic boys and their rowdy, carousing lifestyles."

11. Whelan succeeds Sessions and immediately fires Special Counsel Robert Mueller as his first act in office, them promptly declares: "This matter is too important to be terminated."

12. Whelan then announces that Sessions has more integrity than anyone he's ever met and appoints him to replace Mueller. He tells Sessions to produce a report on the findings of the Office of the Special Counsel by December 31, 2038.

13. Sessions promptly recuses himself from his position as Special Counsel, and retires to Mobile, Alabama where he plays golf and teaches Sunday school for the rest of his days. No deputy Special Counsel is ever named to replace him.

THE END

She said it was near the club.

She named the other folks there. That was her big error.

Had she said it was just the two of them (Kav and her) in a car or something it’d be purely he said / she said.

She’s given too many details and all of the witnesses will rebut her allegations.

I have no idea how anybody can remember anything about parties 35 years ago. It kind of seems, that Kavanaugh was there and knows what party she is talking about. This could be harder for him to look innocent.

Obviously, something did happen (not necessarily Kavanaugh) for people to remember a particular house and people for 1 party.

It seems like there were plenty of drunken parties they all attended.

She gave all those details because she wanted to establish credibility by basing her fabricated story on an actual event that she could remember in detail.

I wouldn't be shocked if the "assault" actually occurred, but it involved SOMEONE ELSE -- who may not even characterize the incident as an "assault" at all.

The truth is, I think in this case, the term "party" is being loosely thrown around.

I think this was a case of a few people getting together one evening when parents were away. It wasn't a "keg party," it wasn't 20 people who came and went. It sounds like the boy who lived at the house had a "best friend" come over, and two "couples" or a couple and a "third wheel."

Maybe they were going to drink, maybe do something else, maybe go swimming at the clubhouse down the street, maybe break out and make out.

But it wasn't a party in the common sense of the word, unless they were using the word "party" as a verb for doing something else.

It kind of seems that Kavanaugh wasn't there AT ALL - but everyone knows who was there, including the kid who lived there.

And the unknown female who is getting furious phone calls from DNC operatives on the "down low" as we type...

modified canary trap..

I posted this last night:


Are you familiar with the old TV series Remington Steele?

The premise is that a woman starts up a detective agency, but she creates the character of Remington Steele because she fears that nobody would hire her if they knew the agency detective was a woman. All goes well until one day when a con man shows up claiming to be Remington Steele, and he inserts himself as the namesake head of the agency and claims the owner is his secretary.

If the Democrats are knowingly staging a false claim, then it is a bit of turnabout as fair play to have Kavanaugh's side send in their Remington Steele, aka Garrett, to fit all the admitted facts to-date and make the Democrats either deny it on their simple say-so, to accept it, or to let slip that it was a hoax all along.

And, of course, Garrett could also surprise everyone and say that it really was him all along.


We need a Remington Steele, who fits all the known facts, to step up and take over the narrative.
