California professor speaks out about her allegation of sexual assault
The Washington Post ^ | September 16, 2018 | Emma Brown

Posted on 09/16/2018 10:46:52 AM PDT by Trump20162020

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.”

Are there other allegations of similar activity such as in the case of “the Lyin” of the Senate or Bill Clinton?

She has written notes from 2012, maybe that qualifies as “years” ago to you, but it was 30 years after the allegation, for which she can’t even keep her lies straight.

Let’s get back to reality.

The Media is 99.9% against Republicans, POTUS Trump and any Judge Nominated to the SCOTUS who supports the Constitution as written.

Whatever we think of this has nothing to do with what will now happen.

This Woman will be the sympathetic Witness that will derail Kavanaugh. Anyone who thinks Fairness and Justice will triumph are fooling themselves.

We do not control the Narrative, our Enemies do and they do it well.

Another thing to consider, every Conservative Pundit went after Feinstein because of the Anonymous nature of the Accuser. That argument is now Mute.

Now the “Victim” has outed (which I think was the Plan all along) and she will do whatever it takes to get Kavanaugh’s Nomination Voted down.

This will be a very bad week for Kavanaugh, POTUS Trump and America. A Liberal Wet Dream come true.

All that investigation should have been done by FBI and the political receipients of her letter.

I think you’re probably right and it’s a disaster in the making. We are looking at a 4-4 SC until next year unless Mitch calls a real recess.

I’m afraid I agree with you. Unless everyone else “present” denies this, Kav is toast. All the libs need is for two Reps to peal off, and this “uncertainty” will be enough of an excuse.

We must keep the Senate at all cost.

And don’t forget, feminist hag Gloria Steinem said “the first grope is free.”

Good one - and remember Whoopi Goldberg's defense of Roman Polanski - that sexually 'doing' a drugged 13 year old child wasn't 'rape-rape'?

I'll bet the thugs who write for the Washington Post didn't think raping a drugged child was 'rape rape' either... cause they usually side with any and all Hollywood liberals. The only reason they covered the 'MeToo' meme was they thought going to snare conservatives. It was too late to dump the meme when it turned out it was almost exclusely liberals doing the abuse... from Charlie Rose on up and down the media and Hollywood ranks.

The child Polanski raped didn't just 'think' he wanted to rape her... the pervert DID rape her... and the 'bigs' in Hollywood didn't give a damn. And their press boys didn't give a damn either.

Just think back to the Manhattan Beach (CA) Preschool scandal of false prosecution on criminal charges of child sex abuse... all based on therapist sessions and notes.

Take the Democrats up on this play and pit the credibility of Kavanaugh against the psycho-babbling and crackpot liars of the psychological therapist “profession.” That “profession” will fare as well as “journalists.”

However, Ford told The Post she did not recall exactly who owned the house, how she came to be at the house, or how the gathering was arranged. She remembered only that the house was in Montgomery County, near a country club, and that parents were not present.

Well I don't remember the house in which I saw Christina Ford torture puppies in forty years ago.

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.

The Democrats have produced their stalling excuse at precisely the right time and according to their plan. First thing tomorrow morning Schmucky will demand the vote be postponed until after a “full investigation” which quite obviously will last beyond the election.
I’ll bet the whole thing was planned from the beginning.

The Democrats would accuse Jesus Christ of rape if it meant keeping abortion legal.

She engaged Debra Katz, a Washington lawyer known for her work on sexual harassment cases. On the advice of Katz, who believed Ford would be attacked as a liar if she came forward, Ford took a polygraph test administered by a former FBI agent in early August. The results, which Katz provided to The Post, concluded that Ford was being truthful when she said a statement summarizing her allegations was accurate.

First thing that jumps out at me is the person who administered the polygraph is a former FBI agent rather than a polygraph examiner. I think they can be both but it is also possible that they were an agent and not a polygraph examiner with the bureau and they are trying to puff up credentials.

Second, it states that the results were presented for the general statement she made about the supposed incident versus questions about the details. If the FBI was administering the polygraph, I am certain they would ask her specifically about each of the details in her statement. It does not appear that is what happened here.

“This Woman will be the sympathetic Witness that will derail Kavanaugh. “

Fine.

Make her testify before the US Senate and on nationwide TV. Subject her to cross examination, and bring forth the other man who was supposed to be in the room.

It does not stop with an op ed. These are serious charges.

This they proceed without an “investigation” we will lose Collins and Murkowski. The Moore play is the new magic bullet. I think it’s over.
