Kavanaugh’s accuser recovered her memory at the time Dems were panicked Romney would win

Bookworm has noticed a very odd coincidence: after telling no one her story about the alleged incident for decades, she suddenly remembered and spoke about it in couples’ therapy in 2012, when leftists perceived the possibility that Mitt Romney, ahead in the polls, would win the presidency and appoint Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. She writes:

In 2012, Romney ran against Obama. Up until his 47% gaffe, Romney was doing well. He actually had a shot of winning.

For the Democrats, as has been the case since Bork, having a Republican in the White House, especially with the ever-aging but never retiring Ruth Bader Ginsburg a perpetual risk, raised the specter of a conservative judge getting appointed to the Supreme Court. With that in mind, one Twitter user, who must have an amazing memory, remembered something interesting he’d read back in 2012:

Pre-scrubbed her FB and LinkedIn, then lawyered up

Has anyone done a Wayback Machine search?

Pre-scrubbed her FB and LinkedIn, then lawyered up with a lefty DC feminist lawyer before flipping the switch.

FB posts don't evaporate, they will provide more proof she is a Liberal activist willing to lie for the cause..

The posted article is linked to Is the accusation against Kavanaugh the culmination of a set-up from 2012? *UPDATED*

From that link:

In 2012, Romney might have won the election. In 2012, Toobin stoked Democrat fears that Kavanaugh, a conservative, might get on the Supreme Court and overturn Obamacare. And in 2012, Ford, a psychotherapist who undoubtedly had years of prior therapy herself, suddenly can’t stop talking about her hitherto undisclosed claim that Kavanaugh was a bad boy almost 30 years before.

So here’s the question: What do you think the odds are that, when Romney seemed within striking distance of the White House, and Kavanaugh seemed like a potential Supreme Court nominee, Ford came up with a story about Kavanaugh trying to rape her? Knowing Democrat fanaticism as we do, it’s easy to imagine that, in 2012, while Ford couldn’t go back in time to 1983 to make contemporaneous claims she could still try to lend an air of verisimilitude to her otherwise unconvincing narrative by concocting a tale for a therapist, thereby creating a “just in case” record.

This reeks of a “recovered memory.” For those who haven’t been keeping score, “recovered memory” is, more accurately, a synthesized memory. Memory is a tricky thing, and - in psychotherapy - a memory can be implanted such that the “rememberer” cannot distinguish between an actual memory and one which has been synthesized by the analyst. Such a “rememberer” will therefore pass any polygraph, be absolutely certain of the “memory” - even tho - if the target of the “memory" is very lucky - objective facts prove that the “memory” has no relation to reality.

In short, this “testimony” has to be simply shrugged off as not credible no matter how certain the “witness” sounds.

Of course, that is easy said when the Democrats (including the MSM) are baying for blood.

".... I am about to give up news altogether....."

This is a good thing, not a bad thing.

It's like lancing a festering boil. Stress, anxiety and anger will be released and your life will be much more pleasant afterwards.

I did it a couple of years ago and I don't miss the fake and hate news in the mainstream media.

I keep informed by following FR daily. It's an excellent filter for all the crap that's out there.

Good luck with cutting the cord.

This woman doesn't want anonymity. She wants the spotlight.

She wants to be the one who derailed Kavanaugh's SC nomination for the democRATS all by herself, even if she will embarrass herself and the democRATS by lying about an incident that never happened.

If it did happen, it was unimportant at the time, so much so that she can't remember any of the details except those that could possibly be damaging to Kavanaugh. Gee. How convenient.

There are not facts, no evidence, no witnesses except a man who claims it never happened either, no specifics, no collaborating news reports or confidantes breaking their silence. No nothing.

Her vague recollection of uncertain teenage antics screams of lying and the need for the spotlight.

If she wanted to remain anonymous, she should have kept her mouth shut.

There was an article with a similar claim that has been posted as its own thread and was pulled by the mods - reason = “Incorrect.”

(I don’t know anything beyond that. Has this been debunked? Mods - can you shed anymore light on this?)

(Note - I pinged the mods because of the question above, not because of any complaint against you. I just want to know if this is true or not.)
