She still can’t get her story straight on who was at the party. It’s changed from the letter to whomever which eventually ended up with Finestein. It’s changed from not telling anyone to telling many people but not her life long very best friend, King (?) the golfer. It changed from telling people it was Kavanaugh to not naming him. Well, at least she’s consistent with being terrified and scared.
Funny how in this statement, she identifies herself as “Dr. Christine Blasey Ford”, her legal name, but in her statement attached to the letter about the polygraph, she can’t decide who she is (seems to be a theme with her). She goes by “Chrissy” but it is signed “Christy” and “Blasey” is signed misspelled missing the E “Blasy”. Never mind all the scribble outs and horrid penmanship and start overs that are not initialed as legally required.

excerpt:
Meanwhile, what to make of this? The Washington Post interviewed Ford and quoted her as claiming that she was worried when Trump was elected because Kavanaugh had been mentioned as a possible replacement for Scalia. Here’s the beginning of their piece:
When Donald Trump won his upset presidential victory in 2016, Christine Blasey Ford’s thoughts quickly turned to a name most Americans had never heard of but one that had unsettled her for years: Brett M. Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh — a judge on the prestigious U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit — was among those mentioned as a possible replacement for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in 2016. When Trump nominated Neil M. Gorsuch, Ford was relieved but still uneasy.
Just one problem: as Alex Pappas notes, Kavanaugh was not on Trump’s list when he was elected. The original list of names released in September 2016 included only these 11 people: Keith Blackwell, Charles Canady, Steven Colloton, Allison Eid, Neil Gorsuch, Raymond Gruender, Thomas Hardiman, Raymond Kethledge, Joan Larsen, Mike Lee, and Thomas Lee. Gorsuch was picked from the list and was confirmed in April 2017. In November 2017, more a year after the election, five more names were added: Amy Coney Barrett, Britt Grant, Brett Kavanaugh, Kevin Newsom, and Patrick Wyrick.
None of this means that it’s impossible that Kavanaugh was mentioned as a dark horse replacement option for Scalia somewhere. But if his name came up it was more likely to be as a discussion of why he wasn’t on the list. Take this Wall Street Journal article as an example:
That scrutiny may have doomed the chances of once-rising members of that conservative class, such as Sixth Circuit Judge Jeffrey Sutton and Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the District of Columbia Circuit, both omitted from the initial Trump lists.
This is not a silver bullet in the heart of Ford’s story, but it is another thing that makes you go “hmmmm.”
