Christine Blasey Ford and the mysterious case of the missing : Why her story makes no sense
American Thinker ^ | 09/28/2018 | Ed Straker

Posted on 09/28/2018 8:27:18 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

There was a subtle fact to be learned from Christine Blasey Ford's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday. No, not merely that she lied about being afraid to fly on airplanes so she could delay the hearing as long as possible.

I'm referring to the mysterious incident in the bathroom. Press reports indicated that she claimed that Brett Kavanaugh "corralled" her into an upstairs bedroom. Now we have more detail: that Ms. Ford went to an upstairs bathroom, and when she came out, Kavanaugh dragged her into a bedroom.

My question is, why did Ms. Ford use an upstairs bathroom? Nearly all suburban homes near country clubs in America have bathrooms on the ground floor. Perhaps it was occupied, but Ms. Ford, who clearly remembers going to the bathroom, didn't even mention its existence.

If there had been a bathroom on the ground floor, as seems likely, and Ms. Ford could have used it, then there was no reason for her to use a bathroom upstairs. The only reason for Ms. Ford to go upstairs would be to go to a bedroom, with someone at this party.

This is what I believe is most likely to have occurred.

Perhaps some horseplay with some guy who did go to Georgetown Prep did happen to Ford at some point. Maybe she knew the guy’s name, maybe she didn’t. At some point probably very recently, she merged in her mind Brett K with that other nameless, probably faceless boy. One thing that hasn’t been discussed nearly enough is what a different era it was in the 1980s compared to now in terms of information. Ford and BK did not attend the same high school/ elementary school/ church, nor were they neighbors, etc. How exactly did she know who Brett Kavanaugh was? A friend of a friend supposedly? In 2018, everyone knows everything about everyone through Facebook etc. Back in 1982, when socializing with kids from other schools/churches/neighborhoods, you had pretty limited information (often just first names, sometimes not even that).

Blumenthal is too stupid and arrogant to realize that this means that because he lied about serving in Vietnam, he lies about everything.

That bears repeating.

The prosecutor's job wasn't to debunk her story. You cant debunk a story like this from 36 years ago any more than you can prove that it was true.

Her job was simply to show how preposterous it would be to even begin an investigation of the matter outside that Senate hearing room.

The boilerplate of her story is “I was pushed into a bedroom, a guy got on top of me, pawed at my clothes, he fell off of me because he was drunk, I ran into a bathroom and locked myself in, then later escaped from the house”. Simple generic story that would be easy to fabricate in your mind. Now what house, what party, what year, how she got there, how she left is conveniently fuzzy to her.

Ford is really something -— she can tell everyone definitively that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her, but she doesn’t know when, where, who took her there or picked her up (she was 15), or pretty much anything of significance.

She has no facts, no corroboration, no medical report, no police report. There is nothing but a claim from a woman with a bad memory and a story contradicted by all her own witnesses ( even her female friend ).

At this point, there is not even any evidence that there was a party at all, much less that Kavanaugh was there or that anything happened between Kavanaugh and Ford.

She also went there with her ‘best friend’ but was perfectly willing to leave and let her best friend there alone with drunken attempted rapists. The first thing any girl would do if attacked is go get her ‘best friend’ and get out of there.

* She hired the attorney, Katz, recommended by Senator Feinstein. Instead of reporting the allegation to the entire Judiciary Committee, Feinstein referred her to an activist Dem attorney.

I think this one is critical. I believe Finswine did this to isolate Ford from the GOP and to control the process.

Remember how confused Ford looked when asked about the flying by Mitchell? I don't think the "fear of flying" came from her. I believe that came from her lawyer Katz who had Ford sequestered someplace where the GOP had no access and no access to media.

Katz was put in place as part of the "delay until the last second" strategy. I don't think Ford was ever told about the options for testimony given to her by the Judicial Committee who would have been communicating to Ford through Katz.

Whatever happened to the two men (unidentified) who told Grassley they may have been at that party Ford claims Kavanaugh and Judge were at?

Well, I think Rachel Mitchell did a very calm interrogation that poked holes in her story.

Ford said the polygraph was done in Maryland because of her grandmother’s funeral and she was asked if it was done on the same day as her grandmother’s funeral.

Here’s the problem -— Ford did not even know the answer to that question.

Mitchell also asked if she paid for the polygraph, which would normally be quite expensive, and again, Ford said she doesn’t know. WHAT ??? That should be an easy answer. She can’t remember recent details and she wants us to believe she remembers what happened 36 years ago?

If Ford doesn’t have a clear memory of big events that happened to her LAST MONTH, how can anyone be sure her memory of what happened 36 years ago is correct?

Was Kavanaugh involved? You wouldn’t think someone could get confused about something like that, but you’d also think someone would know if she spent thousands of dollars paying for a polygraph last month.

From all I’ve read about the FBI the last 1 1/2 years I wouldn’t want them involved in anything—ever. All the politicians are saying those on the ground at the FBI are doing their jobs, I disagree.

To involve them in this scenario, if they even had justification, would lead to another “dossier” scenario that would be another investigation they can’t talk about, keeping the target guilty in the public’s eye. The FBI is an extension of the Dems and needs to be shut down.

Ed Whelan was on to something.

Prep school teenagers don’t break into a stranger’s house in order to have a beer-drinking party.

If it happened, it happened at the house of one of the six teenagers.

But the location and lay-outs of the other known party attendees can’t be made to fit the circumstances. It was supposedly near the country club pool.

She said under oath yesterday that she went out with Kavanaugh’s friend Garrett (known as Squee) for a couple of months. Squee’s house matches the location and lay-out of her story.

In my opinion she knowingly and consciously made the whole thing up as a “by any means necessary” way to keep Kavanaugh off the court and physically located the event in her mind in Kavanaugh’s friend’s Squee’s house which she was familiar with because she went out with him.

I’m betting that after huddling with her lawyers Commissar Katz and Commissar Bromwich, they advised her she needed to be vague on the identity of the fourth boy at the party so if necessary she could claim it was his house and she couldn’t remember his name.

It’s pointless to try to figure out what really “happened”.

There’s so many holes in her story and all the things that led to her “testimony” that it’s just a block of swiss cheese.

If something actually happened at a party it was nothing but kid stuff. This kind of crap wouldn’t even get the cops to do anything except tell everyone to knock it off and go home.

She’s confusing memories and fabricating others because of her bitterness towards all the boys she screwed who left her behind. If she can pull every one of them down it still wouldn’t assuage her resentment.

Nothing but a messed up, bitter little girl hiding under the cover of left wing anti-white hetero male orthodoxy.

I have to conclude that Ford’s so-called “fear of flying” is FAKE.

Ford’s own lawyers have been publicly claiming that she’s too frightened to fly and they have gone out of their way to say that she won’t get on a plane because of the Kavanaugh incident. Because of that, they said she’d have to drive cross-country to get to a hearing.

Of course, SHE ACTUALLY FLEW !!

Additionally, under questioning, she admitted she had flown to Maryland, Hawaii, and Tahiti. In other words, that was a bald-faced lie. If she is lying about that, what else is she lying about?

I’ve been to plenty of beer drinking parties myself

But did you ever go to any house not knowing who owns it? Unless the house was vacant, somebody there had to be in charge, especially if the parents were away.

The Democrats are only demanding an FBI investigation for two purposes: (1) political optics, and (2) attempting to delay the confirmation.

Kavanaugh correctly pointed out that the FBI would never reach a definitive conclusion in the matter anyway, and they wouldn't come up with a single piece of evidence to support or debunk the allegation.

And everyone the FBI would interview in an investigation has already given sworn testimony and/or statements in the matter -- which is all the FBI would be gathering anyway.

Her best friend said she had no recollection of the party and had never met Kavanaugh. The testimony of a best friend is all I need to know to convince me this incident never happened and Ford has psychological problems

BK dropped a monster Macedonian barking spider f@rt in the downstairs bathroom so she would need to use the upstairs facility.
