California professor Christine Ford claims Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her: 'It derailed me'
Fox News ^ | 9/16/2018 | Greg Re

Posted on 09/16/2018 12:06:55 PM PDT by Lazamataz

The woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault came forward with her explosive allegations on Sunday, saying the supposed attack "derailed me substantially for four or five years" and claiming that the episode rendered her "unable to have healthy relationships with men."

The woman, Christine Ford, is a professor at Palo Alto University, according to The Washington Post, which published her account on Sunday. Her decision to go public caps a whirlwhind week that began when Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., sent shockwaves through Washington by releasing a statement saying she turned over information about Kavanaugh from an anonymous accuser to the FBI.

Ford, a 51-year-old registered Democrat who has published in academic journals and trains students in clinical psychology, described the alleged incident on Sunday, saying it occurred at a Maryland house gathering. Ford claimed she headed upstairs to a bathroom when she was suddenly pushed onto a bed, as rock-and-roll music blared.

This is a rollout by the Democrats and media and activists planned for months to drop at last minute

They might have more

She’s a leftie but on a glance a good resume optically

Trump is alone

He is governing mostly without a party behind

If they postpone the vote kavanaugh is done

It’s so ridiculous

Forty year old claim of drunk groping

In an age when western women are fresh off Caligulas barge

Did you pinch her butt in 1982?

Yes your honour

"Kavanaugh has adamantly denied it. Why would you recommend a strategy for dealing with it that is based on the presumption that it DID happen?"

Now that she is no longer anonymous, has supporting docs from 2012, and passed a lie detector test, most people will believe that something happened. There was a party, Kavanaugh was there, they were drunk. Anything more than that, deny the details, deny the relevance. If you deny the entire thing, one other witness saying Kavanaugh was at the party will kill the nomination.

Being honest with you here: I shut up forever about my personal stuff with my name attached. I am pretty private. But yes, really high office, I’d feel kicked in my rear by Gd to stand up. I would never want to. But it would have to be a serious life long character issue like pedophilia. And no, I would not wait til nominating month. I’d say it right after the name was mentioned in public for the job.

The fact Feinstein never brought it up in the confirmation hearings, suggests that she thought it wasn’t credible enough to pursue.

If we’re going to destroy a man’s reputation, then let it be for something thaf he actually did do, not an allegation that wasn’t even pursued with the authorities decades ago.

And Kavanaugh was a nobody in the 1980s. Nobody ever heard of him.

My opinion of most psychologists is they went into the field because they’re at least half nuts.

Fast track the vote. We can’t let the Dems steal this one.

Can't. Mandatory delay till the 20th. This is the time that Mitch McConnell -- who has been really good on judges -- needs to show his mettle.

He needs to caucus with each female Republican Senator and raise the following points:

1) How do we know it even happened?

2) How do we even know Kavanaugh was at that party?

3) Does this lady -- a registered Democrat who has contributed to the DNC and Bernie Sanders -- have a vested interest in lying?

4) Why didn't she raise this before the year 2012, especially when Kavanaugh was getting Federal judgeships?

"Absolutely not true. Dig deep and pound her with facts. Make an example of her so that these fake accusations do not hap po en in the future ."

What if the facts aren't on Kavanaugh's side? I'm saying, even if this happened, he should be confirmed. If you allow the other side to make the argument that if it happened, he shouldn't be confirmed, he is in trouble because it just takes 1 or 2 Senators to believe her, or to believe it is politically in their interest to believe her.

My bet is that guy who did that to you stayed a real a-hole. And I’d not fault you for telling that story if Trump nominated him for the SC, because that is a violent character flaw. Sorry that happened. And yes, we are strong enough to move on after these incidents, geez Louise. This woman is a real jerk.

It "hurts" if you let it. History is littered with the bogus stories of partisan hacks and those with an agenda. Brawley, Duke, the nutter who dragged a mattress across campus, etc. Pointing out the vagueness of the concocted story and her Leftist beliefs isn't attacking. It's presenting facts to counter a fairy tale.

I am sick and tired of "conservatives" being fearful little wimps, worrying about what others will think of them for standing up to clear agitprop and transparent liars. This is just another example of a shameless Liberal doing whatever is necessary to smear a political opponent.

The woman is a lying sack of horse manure and if the screeching hounds of women's lib find it sexist, they can shove it up their tailpipes.

Democrats love real estate. The financial trail will certainly involve some recent family real estate transactions .

More from WaPo:

“After so many years, Ford said she does not remember some key details of the incident. She said she believes it occurred in the summer of 1982, when she was 15, around the end of her sophomore year at the all-girls Holton-Arms School in Bethesda...Ford said she does not remember how the gathering came together the night of the incident. She said she often spent time in the summer at the Columbia Country Club pool in Chevy Chase, where in those pre-cellphone days, teenagers learned about gatherings via word of mouth. She also doesn’t recall who owned the house or how she got there.”

This simply isn’t credible for an event that she says derailed her life for several years.

She would know exactly where and when it occurred. (She says she only had one beer, that the two boys were drunk but she was not.)

On the other hand, if it was some event that only much later she embellished and promoted into some meaningful event that she grabbed onto as an excuse to explain some failings in life on her part, then it would make sense that she doesn’t know the details such as when or where it occurred.

What she knows is the emotion that she feels now, perhaps even needs to feel for present purposes, and searching the past for a basis for this feeling has identified this hazy incident as a justification for the present emotion.

Duke Lacrosse? Rollingstone frat boy rape story?

The only reason BOTH of those were found out is because the accusers didn’t wait 20 years where everything could be disproved.

For you to make the comment you just made lets me know you’re a troll.
After all the stunts and lies the left along with the media pulls your concern is Republicans looking anti woman?

Yea okay.

This is what Ford said - “Ford said she was able to escape when Kavanaugh’s friend and classmate at Georgetown Preparatory School, Mark Judge, jumped on top of them, sending all three tumbling. She said she ran from the room, briefly locked herself in a bathroom and then fled the house”. - https://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2018/09/breaking-kavanaugh-accuser-speaks-wapo/

Here’s what judge says - According to McCormack, Judge “strongly den[ies] that any such incident ever occurred.” McCormack quotes Judge: “It’s just absolutely nuts. I never saw Brett act that way.” -

She’s a liar by any standards. However, Dems will just ignore this.
