I like that the those who see this issue clearly but still have to maintain some modicum of tact call Blasey's story 'compelling' rather than 'credible.'

It threads the needle saying 'we respected her right to speak, and our obligation to listen once respectfully, but while we can't prove a negative, we find her full of sh*t'

It is a joke to say that compelling has any connection to truth. Jurassic Park is compelling. The Tell Tale Heart is compelling.
