Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, considered moving to another country following Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement earlier this year, her husband says.
“She was like, ‘I can’t deal with this. If he becomes the nominee, then I’m moving to another country. I cannot live in this country if he’s in the Supreme Court,’” her husband, Russell Ford, told The Washington Post for a story published Saturday. “She wanted out.”
Kavanaugh was long considered a potential future nominee for the high court, being on a list Trump released during his 2016 campaign of people he would consider picking for the Supreme Court should a vacancy arise.
Ford's husband told The Post that she was relieved when Trump picked Neil Gorsuch last year to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. But worries resurfaced after Kennedy announced his retirement, he said.
“Her mind-set was, ‘I’ve got this terrible secret...What am I going to do with this secret?’” he said.
Ford’s lawyers have said that her family has faced threats and been forced to leave their house after she went public last Sunday with allegations that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and tried to remove her clothes during a high school party in the early 1980s when both were teenagers.
The allegations have upended the confirmation process for Kavanaugh and Ford is in negotiations with the Senate Judiciary Committee to arrange her public testimony.
She initially expressed openness to testifying Monday, but reneged, saying she wanted the FBI to investigate her claims first. Her lawyer later proposed a testimony for next Thursday if she could testify after Kavanaugh, he would not be in the same room as her and she would only be questioned by members of the committee.
The Judiciary Committee has rejected several of her requests while accepting others. Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) late Friday gave Ford more time to decide whether she would testify next Wednesday as part of a counter-offer from Republicans that would involve her testifying first.
Ford has until 2:30 Saturday afternoon to respond to the GOP counter-offer.
The article says that her family has much more conservative views.
Also, I have read that a letter was published by some of her relatives, in support of her. Her parents and brother were missing from the list.
But I would not be at all surprised of some “deep state” involvement with this. The exclusive area that she grew up in is filled with people who work in and around the federal government.
I'd be interested in that, too- the PHR group he donated to was involved in the Gitmo and Abu Ghraib detainee abuse/torture claims cases, and psychologists belonging to the group were actually given access to detainees. They were also involved on the ground in Syria. Was she more than just a donor? Was she one of the doctors the group sent to "document" abuse cases, etc... she's a stats person too. It might explain why they scrubbed her record so hard... and why Feinstein is so keen on her. Feinstein's mentioned torture recently too so it is still on her mind in these investigations. And she went first to the kook congress critter Eshoo who thinks Cheney had an assassination team for his personal use.
Professor in liberal indoctrination.
pretty intense, never saw the flick and wont
The husband’s testimony is vital to establishing that Kavanaugh was explicitly named by CBF.
Makes as much sense as what i have seen and read so far.
Really? The old buzzard said that she would flee to NZ?
She will be on a well deserved downward spiral from here on out..Bummer (yea right)
Maybe Di Fi will pay all her mental eval and treatment bills ?
Big fat maybe.
She is being used and now knows it.
Good
Thousands of liberals are working to create new narratives.
This is news? Show me just one commie piglet, Trump hater WHO DIDN’T CONSIDER MOVING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY and I’ll show you a rooster that lays golden eggs.
OMG! Even if something happened GET OVER IT!
Does she need to be dropped into a Taliban lair?
This psychobabble makes me wonder which is the bigger drama queen. The so called “doctor” or her so called “husband”.
she should heed Nike - just do it.
It’s eye opening how truly deluded some people have themselves in their minds and troubling that most are allowed to be on the streets and interacting with the public daily.
That was a Western, not Afghanistan...
“It shouldn’t be that difficult to get her travel history and see how much the ‘good doctor’ has flown in the past.”
Kirstjen Nielsen at Homeland Security could get the info from TSA. There’s a reason everyone needs an official ID to fly. The have the name of every passenger.
Is this a preview to her committing Suicide??? She really is beat crap cray cray!
She is an abortion advocate.
She doesn’t want him on the court because he might be willing to co-sign the overturning of Roe vs. Wade.
That is what this whole charade boils down to.
Ford has become a mythical hero for the rabid Dems. She is Joan of Arc and Wonder Woman all rolled into one. She is ready for her closeup, Mr. DeMille.
The meme that it took great courage to come forward is pure BS. She will be dining out on this the rest of her life. She will be on the hustings supporting Dems during the midterms and in 2020. You can expect to see her on 60 Minutes, The View, CNN, Morning Joe, etc. Ford is a flaming Dem activist who will become intoxicated with her new found celebrity.
Well I say you and your wife both are prostitutes and I do not know you or a thing about you other that what I read but I suppose my words are as good as your’s. I am judging you buy your actions in the media only.
