New Kavanaugh Accuser Came Forward Because ‘Senate Democrats Came Looking’
National Review ^ | September 24, 2018 8:39 AM | JACK CROWE

Ronan Farrow said Monday that Deborah Ramirez came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Brett Kavanaugh after Senate Democrats learned independently of the incident in order to “tell her own story before others did for her.”

“She came forward because Senate Democrats came looking for this claim. She did not flag this. This came to the attention of people on the hill independently, and it has co cornered her into an awkward position,” Farrow, who detailed Ramirez’s allegation in a Sunday New Yorker article, told ABC’s George Stephanopolos on Good Morning America.“She said, point-blank, I don’t want to ruin anyone’s life, but she feels this is a serious claim. She considers her own memories credible and she felt it was important to tell her own story before others did for her.”

In the article Farrow and co-author Jane Mayer recount Ramirez’s claim that Kavanaugh, then a freshman at Yale, drunkenly thrust his penis in her face during a dorm party. While there are no eyewitness accounts included in the reporting, Farrow and Mayer did speak with one fellow classmate who claims to have heard about the incident around the time it occurred.

The New York Times was unable to corroborate Ramirez’s accounts after interviewing “several dozen” people in an attempt to do so.

Pressed by Stephanopolos about Ramirez’s delay in coming forward, Farrow described her hesitance as “extremely typical.”

I was molested by Chuck E Schumer in 1962.

So was I. And I was just 10 years old. Which makes Schumer not just a dirty rapist, but also a PEDOPHILE. If only I could remember where it happened, how I got there, how I got home, and the exact date. But I know that it absolutley happened, my friends and family BELIEVE ME, and I am sure that I was only 10 YEARS OLD.

She’s not from Stanford. She’s from some nearby no name university called Palo Alto University, but she has connections to Stanford.

While I wasn't an eyewitness to that event, the mere severity of the allegation accusation revelation compells us to believe you.

Also, you mention a specific year, which lends additional credibility to proves the veracity of your charge.

Interesting that they don’t even bother with confirming sources anymore. Woodward is probably disappointed in their journalistic integrity. //sarc//

She came forward because it was impossible for her to be fired later for a fabrication.
The woman from Stanford probably has her future on the line as no one is going to hire her.


Maybe, but let her file an affidavit with the committee and speak on Thursday.

Then prosecute for perjury on Friday.

She didn’t know the willy was Kavanaugh’s until after 6 days of demwitted lawyers convinced her.

They need to raise the pay off to get one who’s cold stone sober and a stellar reputation.

“.....Senate Democrats came looking for this claim.” Names please. That should be the first question the FBI asks this accuser. I think this is turning out to be a conspiracy to harm a sitting federal judge.

Bob Lee Swagger deals with a corrupt Senator

From the movie Shooter.
