So Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser has finally come forward: In a Washington Post piece, 51-year-old research psychologist Christine Blasey Ford says that she was sexually assaulted by the Supreme Court nominee in high school back sometime during the early 1980s.

...snip...

This led to a predictable backlash on social media. It also led to a predictable phrase that appeared in a lot of tweets by prominent liberals. See if you can notice — and figure out why NeverTrumper conservative pundit Erick Erickson thinks this was the work of a PR firm.

If these accusations are being done up by a PR firm & are not accurate,or can’t be confirmed,then somebody needs to serve some jail time & that firm should be put out of business.

It’s from the 4AM coordination message, as explained by the source-that-cannot-be-mentioned.

I love how their newspeak conflates accusation with a determination of credibility.

This is the super-secret phrase you left off the excerpt:

***********

Now, did you notice the phrase there?

Yes, everyone seems to want America to know that Kavanaugh has been “credibly accused.”

Erick Erickson — certainly no fan of the president — thinks there’s a PR firm behind Ford’s accusation.

Now, this may not be a public relations firm — that sounds far too traceable, but it’s plausible — but this does reek of coordination. That’s not just in terms of the phraseology of these tweets, but the timing of it all.

This got leaked at the end of the Kavanaugh hearings, after which it became clear the Democrats had no chance of derailing it. Feinstein played coy about the letter she had received, but details continued to spill out. Finally, the entire story came forth in a piece for the Sunday edition of The Washington Post — certainly the most marquee-grabbing way it could possibly come out.

It’s not unfair to the alleged victim to talk about how perfect this all seems for the Democrats. It puts the GOP in a quandary — although Erickson says it shouldn’t be.

Will they, though? We’ll see during the next few days.

The great thing about the American system of Justice is that we are all considered innocent until proven credibly accused.

It’s the Dan Rather standard. What counts is the seriousness of the charge.

Or even unjustly accused [of, say, Russian collusion].
