Repressed memories are usually fake to begin with. Nothing about her story makes sense.

Absolutely agree.

All this does is throw Garret under the bus.

. . . and what happens to him? Is Diane Feinstein gonna clap handcuffs on him? No Federal crime, and the Maryland Statute of limitations must be past since forever. And he won’t even need it because even with all the “corroboration” in this scenario, it doesn’t prove that "Ford’s memory” represents anything bad happened before 2012. As you say, it’s a bogus “recovered memory” - and one which certainly (if you’re trying to prosecute Garret you are admitting) has one of its details - the perp - wrong.

I still say that Kavenaugh needs the Hillary Clinton defense technique:

1. Anyone with two brain cells connected together knows that there is a vast left-wing conspiracy which has been subverting the reputations of conservative judges at least since Bork.

2. • There is nowhere near enough to investigate to begin to prove the allegation true or false.

   • nobody was killed.

   • the prestige of the US government was not compromised by the brutalizing and murder of a US ambassador.

   • nobody spent a night in terror and fighting for their lives without support from their U.S. government employer.

   • And the putative event is ancient - over 35 year old - history.

3. So the natural question for Senator Feinstein is,
   “What difference, at this point, does it make?”

There is no statute of limitations on sexual assault felonies in the state of Maryland. There is a statute of limitations on filing a civil suit in such cases.
