READ: Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford's prepared remarks for Thursday hearing
The Hill ^ | 9/26/2018 | The Hill Staff

Posted on 09/26/2018 2:35:17 PM PDT by PhxRising

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday released the full text of the prepared testimony of Christine Blasey Ford, the first of three women accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

Ford and Kavanaugh are slated to speak before the panel on Thursday.

Ford alleges that Kavanaugh attempted to remove her clothing and stifled her screams during a high school party in the early 1980s. Kavanaugh has fiercely denied her allegations.

Two other women, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick, have also accused Kavanaugh in recent days of sexual misconduct. Kavanaugh also has denied those claims.

Clearly written by her lawyers. She tried to address all the holes in her story.. can’t remember where & when because these parties were often spur of the moment...I can’t remember how I got home etc. it was so long ago.. but I certainly remember what happened at that party, seared in my memory, haunted me especially as an adult... Brett was very drunk (reason he didn’t control himself and tried to rape me)...I didn’t go into the room on my one.. I was heading to the bathroom and they pushed me from behind..(I wasn’t even able to stop them as I didn’t see them, they pushed me from behind...

I could go one, but as you read through this, you see how carefully it is crafted. The dems wouldn’t dare let her write her own story, they had to make sure all the angles were covered

What in blazes does she have to be “terrified” of? Going to jail for perjury? Kavanaugh jumping across the table to throw her to the floor and start grinding again? She’s off her rocker.

What, for the 30 years before, she didn’t mind having a bedroom on the first floor? That’s as far as I could bother with her statement.

So she IS going to show up?

Why would she do that? Her story is now embellished and on the record without her needing to answer a single question.

Hmmm. Maybe some “upscale” men who have been dumping on their “inferiors” for feminists are beginning to see the first bit of light on their own demise. Maybe a feminist reign of terror would convince enough of our fellow Americans to acknowledge the existence of the problem.

This is something the lawyers came up with, they needed something to show how traumatic this all was, that even years later she wanted extra security in her home, she was still so terrified someone else might break in and try and rape her...that’s the subtext here

I was evident her lawyers wrote this from the first paragraph. But at this point only a moron couldn’t see how carefully scripted this all was.

Check that signature again. She goes by Chrissy but it’s signed Christy and Blasey is missing the E. Besides, that’s not her legal name which should be required in these matters.

So she intends to ruin the career of a man 36 years later because she’s too mentally unbalanced to deal with a few seconds of grinding at a party that everyone else she’s named denies?

And that’s assuming HER alleged facts are true. Never mind that she’s tried to run from having her name out there, that she’s a left wing “activist” that SpyStein had ample opportunity to question BK about it. And didn’t

And now there’s question whether she even has the maturity to back up her claims?

This woman is evil, a liar, a conniver, mentally out of it. That she would try to destroy someone’s ascension to the top over an allied teenage incident tells us how evil she is. And that she would produce a pack of supposed facts that don’t pass scrutiny by the others.

And that far more women of professional repute would go to bat for BK

Yet somehow we are supposed to believe her facts and her motives. Her motives for real is she’s immature, mean, political and vindictive.

"Once the press started reporting on the existence of the letter I had sent to Senator Feinstein, I faced mounting pressure. Reporters appeared at my home and at my job demanding information about this letter, including in the presence of my graduate students. "

She can thank Dianne Feinstein for that. Nobody but Feinstein had the letter, so who other than Feinstein's office leaked it to the press? Ford? Her lawyer?

They are now so enraged over this supreme court pick, they will kill, given the chance.

Any republican senator or cabinet member in DC better have a body guard. Cruz is nuts to be out without one. It wont surprise me to wake up one day and find they opened up with an AR15 on republicans at some meeting.

That’s EXACTLY the thought that came into my mind reading that. He was drunk and laid on top of her, didn’t rape her, didn’t take her clothes off didn’t kiss her. When I was a kid we had this fat female neighbor of ours who would routinely bully me or my brother and other kids, would sit or lay on us so we couldn’t move, and you couldn’t. It was like this whale landing on top of you. To me it was annoying and that’s exactly what I thought about reading this. This woman is a freakin’ drama queen. A fat drunk guy lays on top of you and she’s equating that to rape? No, it’s a fat guy who laid on top of her for what seems to be a minute and I highly doubt he did. If this woman wants to know what rape is, maybe she should talk to Juanita Broaddrick maybe then Christine could explain to us why she had no problem putting a bonafide rapist back into the White house but a fat teen who laid on top of her must be destroyed

have also accused Kavanaugh in recent days of sexual misconduct

No they didn't. The accused him of being present when others were doing that, and "inappropriate" behavior like rubbing up against girls at a party when he was a teenager.

In other words, this is all juvenile BS.

Yeah, you noticed that, too. Just another vague reference which she enjoys doing.

She’s full of crap. What she described in that letter is that a fat drunk teen laid on top of her, didn’t rape her, didn’t take her clothes off, and didn’t kiss her. THAT traumatizes her beyond all repair. Yet she had no issue with a REAL rapist - Bill Clinton - and his enabler Hillary moving back into the White house did she, hard core democrat and Clinton supporter. I think she’s going to get destroyed tomorrow, she’s going to come across as the biggest whiniest drama queen going. You know what question they are going to ask her? “Is that all he did?” and it’s going to go downhill for her from there

“I attended a number of parties that Brett also attended. We did not know each other well, but I knew him and he knew me.”

Kavanaugh should be able to confirm that.

“One evening that summer, after a day of swimming at the club”

Her swimming suit would be wet. Why would she still have it on?

“the details...have been seared into my memory”

Note the same word “seared” as Kerry used.

“I yelled...I tried to yell for help.”

Note the sequence.

“Brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from screaming. This was what terrified me the most, and has had the most lasting impact on my life. It was hard for me to breathe.”

People normally breathe through their nostrils alone.

No attempt to bite the attacker’s hand.

“Directly across from the bedroom was a small bathroom.”

Probably not too common, for privacy reasons.

“I heard Brett and Mark leave the bedroom laughing and loudly walk down the narrow stairs, pin-balling off the walls on the way down.”

They would have little reason to laugh. They might bounce somewhat on the steps, but the walls would probably pretty solid and unpleasant to hit.

“I left the bathroom, ran down the stairs, through the living room”

Living rooms are usually off to the side in almost all older houses. Even in most split-levels. Split levels were built to modern codes and don’t have narrow stairways.

“The letter included my name, but requested that the letter be kept confidential. My hope was that providing the information confidentially would be sufficient to allow the
Senate to consider Mr. Kavanaugh’s serious misconduct without having to make myself, my family, or anyone’s family
vulnerable to the personal attacks and invasions of privacy we have faced since my name became public. In a letter on August 31, 2018, Senator Feinstein wrote that she would not share the letter without my consent.”

How did she expect Feinstein to convince others without showing them the actual letter?

The Senators know millions of Americans have severe mental illness.

If Kavanaugh isn’t confirmed, there won’t be any rule of law in the very near future. So no, she won’t be charged with anything. She’ll probably be busy beheading the men who betrayed other men for her for so long.

She is showing up, and Kavanaugh’s fate completely depends on her performance.

Like telling the names of the people who were at the party. The people who under oath have denied being at the party. Are they going to ignore all of her deception and base their vote on he performance at the hearing?

If they do, they are as crooked as she it!

According to this statement, we've gone from four boys, to two boys in the room and two boys downstairs, to three boys and a girl, and now in this letter the fourth boy is back but she can't remember his name.

This unremembered boy must have been added back to account for the homeowner.

How would she know if reporters were showing up at her door when she, as she says in the Finestein letter, has NOT been at her house in CA since long before the letter was leaked? How’s that pressure? Whew, loony toons.
