Earlier this summer, Christine Blasey Ford wrote a confidential letter to a senior Democratic lawmaker alleging that Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her more than three decades ago, when they were high school students in suburban Maryland. Since Wednesday, she has watched as that bare-bones version of her story became public without her name or her consent, drawing a blanket denial from Kavanaugh and roiling a nomination that just days ago seemed all but certain to succeed.
Now, Ford has decided that if her story is going to be told, she wants to be the one to tell it.
Speaking publicly for the first time, Ford said that one summer in the early 1980s, Kavanaugh and a friend — both “stumbling drunk,” Ford alleges — corralled her into a bedroom during a gathering of teenagers at a house in Montgomery County.
While his friend watched, she said, Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed on her back and groped her over her clothes, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it. When she tried to scream, she said, he put his hand over her mouth.
“I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” said Ford, now a 51-year-old research psychologist in northern California. “He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.”

Regarding 15 not being in late teens: EXCELLENT catch!
Yes, “mute”.
Since the Person has been named and has decided to speak up, there is no more argument that Kavanaugh is being accused by an Anonymous Person, which is what everyone on our side has been criticizing Feinstein for.
Jeanine Pirro went one further on her Show last night saying Kavanaugh should be allowed to confront his Accuser. Now that the name is out there, her wish has come true.
I still think this was all planned by the Democrats, knowing the could count on the Accuser to come forward.
This situation will probably end up accomplishing two things for the Democrat side, damaging Kavanaugh (remember, Perception trumps Truth in today’s Politics), torpedoing his Nomination to the SCOTUS and insuring that Feinstein will be Reelected for pulling this off.
As usual, I will hope for the best but expect the worst.
>>>Sod off, swampy.
(Hint: next time you pick a supposedly heroic screen name, live up to it instead of sucking your thumb at people.)<<<
LOL, now that’s funny.
I don’t live in a Bubble. We all know that the Rats play for keeps. Hopefully Kavanaugh’s Nomination survives this, but none of us will have anything to do with it if he does.
My Opinion of what the DNC Media will do is just based on History. This is Red Meat to them and they will be all in.
We have too many weak kneed RINO’s in the Senate to think that this will be easy sailing based on this latest attack.
Hope for the best and expect the worst and you won’t be disappointed.
Yes. Administered by a FORMER FBI agent. Now, who could that be? I'm guessing Strzok!
You guys are really funny. Give an Opinion here based on what is happening, knowing that this is a Liberal Wet Dream come true and I’m the bad guy, got it.
If you think this isn’t going to get traction you are living on another Planet.
I'm working on implementing a more positive attitude. President Trump has a LOT of stuff he's been holding back on. What if he uses his power instead of just Tweeting? I mean, it's not like the Deep State can get any *more* mad at and uncooperative with him. Most Presidents start with a honeymoon period, the Dems went straight to bunny boiling for this one.
Certainly, a thorough inspection of her finances is in order and even an IRS audit would be appropriate.
>>>You applied the absolute worst possible spin imaginable on the facts as they presently exist.
You may want to apply for a regular spot on “Morning Joe”.....You would fit right in.<<<
I Posted what I see is coming from the Rats and their Media Buddies. If you think everyone here should live in a Bubble, so be it. I deal with Reality.
Your Morning Joe comparison was uncalled for. I am not advocating for anything, just sharing my Opinion of what we will be exposed to this week. It’s a low tech Lynching.
Yes, I can believe that the social worker’s notes were wrong. But are any of us the same person we were in our teens? To come out now with these comments has to say as much about the accuser at the accused. Four young men & ONE young woman having a party? Even if it’s true, there’s a lot of youthful stupidity going on.
Another key Republican member of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah complained the accusations were unverified and said the judge had submitted to six FBI background checks over the last 25 years that included interviews with families, friends and acquaintances and never revealed any character issues.
Sorry, I was just pointing out that the word you wanted is “moot” not “mute.”
Has anyone asked her about the friend who was with him? Who was he?
They won't be concerned whether the accusation is credible...They'll be concerned whether it's a good enough excuse to vote against a conservative...

Sorry, but I stand by my assertion. Your “reality” contained a lot of speculative spin and belongs on Morning Joe.
Speculation based on reality. The Rats and their Media Brethren are going to hold on to this like a Pit Bull holds onto a Yorkie.
Comparing me to anything to do with Morning Joe is still a low blow my FRiend.
Yes, you’re right. I forgot the double standard rule...
Says a lot - the loonies always seem to get into psychology so they can convince themselves they ain't loony...should have figured she was a "left wing perfesser"
