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.

my assessment is that Blasey Ford “lacks candor”, based on the fact that all others she names says it didn’t happen.

Brett Kavanaugh looks like he's no more than 50 years old.

In the two photos of Buzzy Ford that I've seen where she isn't wearing sunglasses, she looks like five miles of bad road. I suspect she has some serious problems she's been dealing with over the years.

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

If she remembers meeting Kavauaugh, then she must remember the person who she was friends with, through which she met Brett.

Exactly. Fine Swine will enter it into the Congressional Record, but she will not be available for cross-examination.

That’s my take
This is her testimony, not going to show

If she shows up, it will only to contradict those who rightly say she won’t.

So now she did not know who pushed her into the bedroom. But her letter clearly states: Kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom as I was headed for a bathroom up a short stairwell from the living room.

She tried to address all the holes in her story...

Note the removal from her story of the bedroom door being locked. Clearly, it made no sense, and was deemed a hole. Bedroom doors do not often have locks to begin with.

I’m having a difficult time believing this ‘testimony’ was written by the same person who wrote the statement to the lie detector test.

The reason this came up in counseling is that my husband and I had completed an extensive remodel of our home, and I insisted on a second front door, an idea that he and others disagreed with and could not understand. In explaining why I wanted to have a second front door, I described the assault in detail. I recall saying that the boy who assaulted me could someday be on the U.S. Supreme Court and spoke a bit about his background. My husband recalls that I named my attacker as Brett Kavanaugh.

...

That’s really strange.

Why doesn’t she recall telling her husband that it was Brett Kavanaugh?

"He was drunk and laid on top of her, didn’t rape her, didn’t take her clothes off didn’t kiss her. "

It was nice of her to catch and cushion his stumble and fall.

Excellent observation.

A locked bedroom door is one thing, but an interior door in a residential dwelling that can lock someone inside a room is a violation of every building code and fire code I've come across.

Ford has gone from originally saying that judge and Kavanaugh pushed her into the room to saying that she does not know who pushed her into the room.

Is this the first mention of Chevy Chase/ Bethseda and a pool party? Anyone notice with each recounting her emotional state at the time becomes more and more pronounced?

Letter to Feinstein “Suburban Maryland Home.
Current testimony , Specifies Chevy Chase/Bethseda.

Letter to Feinstein, No mention of going swimming beforehand
Current testimony, Mentions Chevy Chase Country Club.

Letter to Feinstein “Kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom as I was headed for a bathroom...”
Current testimony, “When I got to the top of the stairs, I was pushed from behind into a bedroom. I COULDN’T SEE WHO PUSHED ME.”

Letter to Feinstein, “Kavanaugh was on top of me while laughing with Judge, who periodically jumped onto Kavanaugh.
Current Testimony,”During this assault, Mark came over and jumped on the bed twice while Brett was on top of me.”

Letter to Feinstein “They locked the door and played loud music”
Current testimony, “There was already music playing in the bedroom. It was turned up louder...”

Letter to Feinstein No mention of who pushed her onto the bed or even being pushed.
Current testimony, “I was pushed onto bed by Brett. Brett got on top of me. He began running his hands over my body and grinding his hips into me.”

Letter to Feinstein, “They both laughed.”
Current testimony, She does write they were both laughing drunkingly.

Letter to Feinstein, “With Kavanaugh’s hand over my mouth,...” No mention of trying to yell for help. Note too she states, “They played loud music, precluding any successful attempts to yell for help.”
Current testimony, “I tried to yell for help. When I did, Brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from screaming.”

Letter to Feinstein, “At one point when Judge jumped onto the bed, the weight on me was substantial. The pile toppled, and the two scrapped with each other.
After a few attempts to get away, I was able to take this opportune moment to get up and run across to a hallway bathroom. I locked the bathroom door behind me.”

Current testimony, “During this assault, Mark came over and jumped on the bed twice while Brett was on top of me. The last time he did this, we toppled over and Brett was no longer on top of me. I was able to get up and run out of the room. Directly across from the bedroom was a small bathroom. I ran inside the bathroom and locked the door. 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.”

Letter to Feinstein, “Both loudly stumbled down the stairwell, at which point other persons at the house were talking with them. I exited the bathroom, ran outside of the house and went home.”
Current testimony, “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.” No mention of them talking with the other people there.

Letter to Feinstein, “I exited the bathroom, ran outside of the house and went home.”
Current testimony, “I remember being on the street and feeling an enormous sense of relief that I had escaped from the house and that Brett and Mark were not coming after me.”

Anyone notice with each recounting her emotional state at the time becomes more and more pronounced? I may have more later but I think these inconsistencies bear noticing.
