The statements corroborate her story, not the accusation.
“Keith Koegler said he wrote to Ford in a June 29 email, “I remember you telling me about him, but I don’t remember his name,” family friend Keith Koegler wrote to Ford in a June 29 email, according to his statement. “Do you mind telling me so I can read about him?”
“Brett Kavanaugh,” Ford responded by email, according to Koegler, her son’s baseball team coach.”
On first read this is a little damning. On second read wth? This happened in the time period between Kennedy retiring and Trump naming a nominee, and they knew Kavanaugh was on a short list. -This is nothing more than a smear job against a *potential* nominee at the time. Also think it’s odd that Koegler couldn’t remember the man who was her son’s baseball coach was the one Ford was accusing of sexual assault.
I am assuming she told them what she had remembered? Was it before 2012 when she spoke with her therapist? If not, how is it anymore reliable then the memory she shared at that time? That she told 4 people something she claims happened 36 years ago does not mean a. it happened as she remembers and b. that Kavanaugh was involved. I therefore would not consider such statements reliable.
Kavanaugh has offered evidence and answered under oath (I may be mistaken on this, but I know he is willing to do so.) to show he was not the person in question. He has had many people give affirmation of his reputation then and now. This latest ploy does not change anything and is an attempt to derail the procedure. Time to vote.
No, they submitted four statements of hearsay. Not one of those making statements had any personal knowledge of alleged incident.
” Ford’s husband, Russell, and three friends”
LOL. Who’s next, Ford’s mother?
Corroborates absolutely nothing. How stupid are they and that includes her husband.
None were there. None.
June 29th is not well before July 9th and we can be certain Ford had followed Kavanaugh’s career; it is no coincidence she first revealed her story of being assaulted in high school when his name was up for a probable USSC court should Romney win the presidency. She was laying the groundwork for her accusation.
“described the attacker as a “federal judge.”
—
I count it as a plus in Kav’s favor that he managed to be a federal judge while still in high school.
From CNN “Ford alleged that Kavanaugh was “stumbling drunk,” but said she had only one beer at the party”
She doesn’t know where the party was, how she got, there, when it happened, how she got home, who all was there but 36 years later she remembers she had only one beer. Is this what we call selective memory?
Hearsay is not corroboration.
If she told them “well before his Supreme Court nomination”... define “well before” and explain why she and they waited until right before his nomination to speak up.
WE DONT NEED ANY OF THAT !
June 29 is not "well before" …. "well before" his nomination would be shortly after the attempted rape allegedly took place when they were still teenagers. It's obvious from the affidavits that she had not brought the name up much time at all before the time Feinstein admits getting her letter...if it was before and not just after perhaps at Feinstein's request. And even here there's this nagging "generic judge" again, as if this was a form letter written before they knew who would be nominated and thus which one to accuse.
FWIW, this allegation was made up to be used against anyone on Trumps list of possible SC nominees which is why she simple told people it was a “judge” who did this without telling them the persons name.
That way it could be used against anyone Trump chose on his list.
IMO this makes as much sense as anything and follows the MO of the Dem’s.
So Soros found four more shills. More bullshit. Wonder how much S is paying them? Probably through a Cayman Islands bank.
"Hello, Cousin Jane? It's me, Christine. No, not Little Johnny's teacher. Your Cousin Christine. You know: Christine Blasey Ford! No, 'B' as in 'buffalo.' B-L-A-S... Right!!! The one who's been on CNN 24-7 for the past week. Okay, well, anyway: Remember how I told you about how I had been sexually assaul - Would you please turn off the t.v.? Or at least turn it down? I can hear that CNN reporter talking about Kavanaugh from here! Okay, thanks. Look, I need you to sign an affadavit that I told you all about - What, you already know all the details? Great: Then I don't even have to 'coach' you about what to say. No... Don't mention the second accuser - I'm not supposed to have known about her until just recently. No... Not the yearbook either. And don't say anything about my psychotherapy: I'm supposed to have 'confided' in you in, say, the 1990s, okay? So you mustn't mention any of the things that have come to light only after the story broke, okay? Because that would be a real bummer."
In short: The pool of potential witnesses has already been "poisoned."
Regards,
That’s not corroboration.
Aha, so her other friend who reported she sent out emails asking “Do you remember me ever telling you I was sexually assaulted?” was just one person on a whole mailing list that she contacted. How many people did she ask before she found these four who were willing to go along with it? A dozen? A hundred?
