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.”

I’ve read where her “social media” has been scrubbed. It probably contains vile anti-Trump stuff.
Any way this can be retrieved?
She should be asked to surrender her computers.
when accusers have nothing to lose but can gain the future.
They want to destroy Kavanaugh like Thomas, but we cannot destroy her career.
You’re an optimist, but I surely hope you are right.
McConnell is the key.
Water board the b@tch!
First off, I wouldn’t disqualify him if the story were true about a “stumbling drunk” 17 year old who has led an exemplary life.
After that, her story has credibility issues to say the least. At best it’s wildly exaggerated.
You just described about 2/3 of the Republican Senators.
It’s a charge easily made - it makes you a hero of the left - and completely impossible to defend against.
And it’s also all about rallying women for the mid-terms.
Another lying whore, is anyone here surprised?
Hopefully the dumbass Republicans will ignore this all too obvious attempt to derail the K man. Ram the approval through.
This should be ignored as a typical Leftist stunt. No one believes this not even the most stupid.
And I’ll bet one or more of those.65 letter signers may have known her in high school.
Only an idiot would not know that the Demons would pull this.
One about Trump will be coming about 10/15.
What difference would that make? Hysterical.
She left the house after the attack, but doesn’t remember how she got home, or who’s house it happened at? Total BS. I guarantee you she’d remember those important facts. Plus, she had no girlfriend to confide in? Hmmm?
We have another one waiting in the wings.Ruth looks like she is going to fall off a chair and croak so that gives us two.
The problem is he categorically denied it, he couldnt come back and say it partly happened but not quite like she said.
Mute?
I'm very skeptical about Ford's claim but based on my own experience with social workers, I can believe that last part. My wife and I were being interviewed about the possibility of providing custody for a young relative. The social worker's notes were 180 degrees from what I said.
How did you find the photo?
