Assertions are neither evidence nor testimony. Christine Blasey Ford ASSERTED she in “100% sure” that Brett Kavanaugh was the inebriated adolescent who was groping her.
Imposed images introduced during “recalled” memories can be more convincing to the person undergoing the recall than reality itself. The incident may really have happened, but with so many of the other details so hazy, suddenly she is absolutely, positively, unshakably CERTAIN of the perpetrator’s identity?
She does not believe herself to be lying, having convinced herself over time that it really WAS a person different from the actual perpetrator. Somebody, somewhere, is laughing up their sleeve at having put one over on that poor simpleton of a girl.
Assertions can be false testimony. She’s testifying that she asserts certain things “100 percent” after being coached for a week thanks to the absurd delay. Perhaps the professor always wanted to be an actress?
