If she falsely testifies that Judge assaulted her, she may have a serious problem with a civil lawsuit for defamation.

. . . and precisely how would someone prove the negative which her story demands that Kavenaugh do?

This is a simple case of an accusation which is vague enough to be unfalsifiable and also unverifiable. The truth doesn’t matter in this case for the simple reason that the truth will never be definitively determined.

The truth is that, given the vagueness of all allegations/notes of the alleged incident, it is likely that Ms. Ford doesn’t really know either.

If the truth doesn’t matter, the only thing to go by is the objective fact that there is no fairness at all in forcing Kavenaugh to prove a negative. You can interview and investigate ’til kingdom come but you will never know the truth. The allegation has to be ignored. If it actually is true, so what? We’ll never actually know - and “what difference, at this point, does it make?”
