I think Ford’s testimony shows deceptiveness in that it sounds like somebody was writing a novel.

Abuse victims don’t use detailed, descriptive language such as:

“Both Brett and Mark were drunkenly laughing during the attack”

“Mark seemed ambivalent, at times urging
Brett on, and at times telling him to stop”

“we toppled over”

“pinballing off the walls on the way down”

Someone, whether Ford or someone else, wrote this as prose. Their mistake was not knowing how to make it sound real. I think they were probably trying to include detail because trauma victims are known to remember detail.

Only problem is, trauma victims don’t report their abuse like they’re writing a novel.

and she did not have all the pages.........

It was obvious that Ford had been heavily coached. I even wonder if she could have been hypnotized to implant her testimony, little-girl voice and demeanor.

This is a classic he said/she said scenario. In which case we need to look at ancillary evidence. Namely, who is truthful and who is not.

It was not Kavanaugh who claimed to be afraid of flying when that is clearly not the case.

It is not Kavanaugh who produced a list of potential witnesses, none of whom back up his account.

It is not Kavanaugh who took a highly contrived lie detector test and then could not remember who paid for it.

It was not Kavanaugh who scrubbed their social media accounts.

It was Ford, not Kavanaugh, engaging in such misdirections and at times outright lies. A clear tiebreaker, IMO, in who has veracity here and who does not.
