Kavanaugh accuser considered moving to another country, husband says
The Hill ^ | 09/22/18 | Tal Axelrod

Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, considered moving to another country following Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement earlier this year, her husband says.

“She was like, ‘I can’t deal with this. If he becomes the nominee, then I’m moving to another country. I cannot live in this country if he’s in the Supreme Court,’” her husband, Russell Ford, told The Washington Post for a story published Saturday. “She wanted out.”

Kavanaugh was long considered a potential future nominee for the high court, being on a list Trump released during his 2016 campaign of people he would consider picking for the Supreme Court should a vacancy arise.

Ford's husband told The Post that she was relieved when Trump picked Neil Gorsuch last year to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. But worries resurfaced after Kennedy announced his retirement, he said.

“Her mind-set was, ‘I’ve got this terrible secret...What am I going to do with this secret?’” he said.

Ford’s lawyers have said that her family has faced threats and been forced to leave their house after she went public last Sunday with allegations that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and tried to remove her clothes during a high school party in the early 1980s when both were teenagers.

The allegations have upended the confirmation process for Kavanaugh and Ford is in negotiations with the Senate Judiciary Committee to arrange her public testimony.

She initially expressed openness to testifying Monday, but reneged, saying she wanted the FBI to investigate her claims first. Her lawyer later proposed a testimony for next Thursday if she could testify after Kavanaugh, he would not be in the same room as her and she would only be questioned by members of the committee.

The Judiciary Committee has rejected several of her requests while accepting others. Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) late Friday gave Ford more time to decide whether she would testify next Wednesday as part of a counter-offer from Republicans that would involve her testifying first.

Ford has until 2:30 Saturday afternoon to respond to the GOP counter-offer.

That’s what a prosecutor would call a motive. It also reveals a somewhat hysterical personality. Who knew?

Thought she was afraid to fly, due to claustrophobia or whatnot?

Oh THE DRAMA! Did she also consider throwing herself into a live volcano? Cause that would have been a more permanent solution to quell her rising fears.

Won’t get any arguments from me . . . and her husband probably won’t even miss her.

Her husband said “She was like,..”?

What adult speaks that way? I guess I answered my own question.

“Quite the tease”...starting when she was 15.

Yeah, I don’t believe a word of it. A cuckold that married the town pump still thinks she was a victim. Har!

People (especially Democrats) can SAY anything. Is there any evidence she was telling the truth? Did she search any other countries as to quality of life? Her husband can SAY anything he wants to tweak the heartstrings of her supporters, but of course, there is no EVIDENCE of any part of their story.
