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.

The very fact that she went to a beer party with four boys in one of their homes sort of categories her as a moral degenerate, at least in her high school days.

Actually, I don’t believe any such party happened and that the story was fabricated for the occasion.

Yeah, it sounds like if she’s leaving the US....it’s Canada, Mexico, Honduras, Belize, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador or Panama.

Usually people go and blab like this....never go and do it. It’s like people who talk all the time about moving to Florida and most never do it.

“The woman ain’t right in the head...not a reliable witness.”

That is what I think. She is not quite right in the head.

she didn’t even NAME names until 2017, IIRC....

(and this info written down by the therapist in 2012 was in marital therapy - the husband might have demanded she attend because she was so kooky..)

Doubtful. Her husband most likely shares her political zealotry.

Exactly. Part of me wonders if she’s even real. Her dad was CIA, she was raised in Maryland became a psychologist and worked at a university with a CIA internship program. And her brother work at the law firm that funneled Hillary’s money to Fusion GPS. This skank is just a total fake. She’s just a political hack on a mission for the Intel community

Oh, she appears to be suffering and unable to engage the world around her due to her deep-seeded emotional trauma brought about by things she can barely remember.

She should be unable to walk down any street USA without being ridiculed.

Does she? Is she a real person?
Has anyone seen a video clip or a live shot of her husband?
