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.

This woman proves herself to be more and more bat-sh*t crazy with every hour that passes.

I don’t believe Kavanaugh was on the list that Trump posted prior to the election.

A teenager touched her booby. How horrible. Seriously, her life should be destroyed. She should be destroyed legally and socially.

Omg. Like no Supreme Court Justice ever pounced on a girl in high school.

Does this woman have ANY friends?? Because if she had, she might have noted that MANY of their first sex experiences weren’t terrifically wanted. Not talking rape. Many girls get pressured into sex with other kids. Not talking about adults knowingly abusing minors. I’m talking (and this happened to one friend of mine - and probably countless others) a boy slipping into your sleeping bag and being persistent on a camping trip until she just gives in because she doesn’t see an out. She’s tired. She thinks “well, maybe it won’t be that bad and he will leave me alone after.” Lots of virginities go this way.

Who knows where these horny aggressive boys end up? Should all their careers be ruined because they were pushy at 16?

Not in High School, she wasn't.

I’d like to know WHY they were in couples therapy. I think that’s the real story and she concocted the story to justify “something” about their “on the rocks” marriage.

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

She was going to book passage on a ship full of lusty young Pakistani muslim sailors. What could go wrong? No Republican pro-lifers there.

It shouldn’t be that difficult to get her travel history and see how much the “good doctor” has flown in the past.

“What adult speaks that way?”

Sadly, many adults with teenagers, rather than correcting them, adopt this kind of dialect as their own.
