While Democrats and the public holler to each other about who's lying in the 11th-hour sexual abuse charges seeking to shoot down the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, and the Drudge Report headlines it as a he-said, she-said case, what stands out is that the two sides in this aren't equal. It's amazing how much careful hedging against perjury charges Kavanaugh's accusers have taken, in contrast with Kavanaugh's defenders.
Christine Blasey Ford set off a few red flags from the get-go, not only because of first her insistence on anonymity in making the charges, then her vague recall of critical details such as when the incident was and how she got there, and finally her lawyer's crazy conditions for her client to testify before the Senate, insisting that only male Senate members ask questions, Kavanaugh speak first, and lots of time to set up the Senate hearings due to the Hawaii-commuting professor's suddenly disclosed fear of flying, alongside her false claim that the Senate insisted she sit at the same table as Kavanaugh as she made her charges.
All of those could be called small perjury hedges. Her defenders might argue that those aren't hedges at all. But there is a big one: the fact that she sent her letter accusing Kavanaugh to Rep. Anna Eshoo, who sits in a House seat of no importance to the Senate confirmation – and didn't send it to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who sits in a Senate seat of significant importance.
Why could she have done that? Well, because sending a letter to Eshoo (and hoping it stays anonymous) means it's not under oath, because Eshoo is of no importance to the matter. Sending it to Feinstein means that it is under oath, because it's sent as evidence for the case.

All of the three people named as witnesses in the incident, including the female, Leland Keyser, sent letters to the Senate, under oath, as did Kavanaugh.
None of Kavanaugh's accusers are willing to testify or provide any information under oath.

They can hedge perjury all they want but they are dead to rights on defamation, both civil and criminal sides.
Hasn't this been debunked? The July 30th letter that I've seen posted in unredacted form clearly lists Dianne Feinstein as the intended recipient.
We may be at the point where a compelling case can be made that Ford and Feinstein are effectively engaging in blackmail.
If we assume a political gain qualifies, it meets the definition of blackmail perfectly.
If the can get Ford under oath, then they should ask her what her mode of conveyance was when she travelled from Delaware to California in August.
Surely these Senators have the pull to get TSA and the airlines to pull travel records?!
bkmk
Your find. You post a thread. This is gold.
Neither of these incidents would have seen the inside of a courtroom had we been dealing with an effective legal system - since we’re looking at lying thug ‘rats desperate to hang on the last assured seat of power they have, the Supreme Court, we’re seeing a kangaroo court a la Josef Stalin.....
At this point l don’t trust any of the letters we ar see. Who knows what the original one said.
Was it addressed to DiFi by Ford or Eshoo? The font at the top of the letter was a different size than the rest of the letter. That is what I read on another thread.
I would really like Judge Kavanaugh to make the clear and loud announcement, that he intends to file criminal and civil charges for defamation and slander against his accusers.
Doesn’t matter if it’s sworn or not. Doesn’t matter if appearance before the committee is sworn it not. The same part of the US code applies to making false statements to Congress as it does to the FBI.
AND-—IF Feinstein passed on a ‘letter’ to Grassley that had been tampered with—a different FONT in one paragraph—that would be TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE.
Feinstein has to face charges for doing such.
None of Kavanaugh’s accusers are willing to testify or provide any information under oath.
As if any of Kavanaugh’s “accusers” have anything to fear from the doormat beltway GOP.

It would be nice to see a few Democrats be in trouble over this.
Well, I can dream.
