Christine Ford’s story isn’t over

The cost of coming forward with her allegations against Brett Kavanaugh was enormous. But it won’t be in vain.

“Why suffer through the annihilation if it’s not going to matter?”

Christine Blasey Ford said she asked herself that question this summer, when she decided not to come forward publicly to say that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when they were in high school.

She ultimately reversed her decision, speaking to the Washington Post about her allegations (which Kavanaugh denied) and then testifying at a hearing last week. But throughout that process, her question to herself has resonated. After the hearing, Katie McDonough of Jezebel wrote of “the sensation of Ford receding from view — her hours of testimony, another woman publicly reopening wounds out of a sense of responsibility and a fragile belief that it might actually mean something — obliterated by the rage of powerful men.”

“Ford,” McDonough wrote, “had predicted that future and called it by its name: annihilation.”

It's called "lying to the FBI," Ms. Upltalker Voice Fry.

Ask Michael Flynn about being falsely accused of it for a taste of what's to come when you really did it.

The voices in her head have not been kind to Christine Ford. She might find inner peace some day, but it doesn’t look like it will happen soon.

Her future needs to include a lengthy Federal timeout, along with all her enablers.

(hat tip Michael Goodwin, NY Post)

<><> The leak of Ford’s confidential letter to Sen. Feinstein must be treated as a crime....it weaponized a charge without corroborating evidence...the leaker wanted to create a public spectacle. Among the casualties was the presumption of innocence, a bedrock of our legal system and Western civilization itself.

<><>The role of Ford’s lawyers must be investigated. One hired by Feinstein’s recommendation, another represents McCabe — suggesting a political operation from the start.

<><> the failure of Ford’s lawyers to turn over key documents reeks of bad faith and perhaps something far more sinister.

<><> Efforts to undermine Trump’s legitimacy often align with foreign interests. John Kerry’s traitorous advice to Iran to “wait for the next president” is a prime example.

Put this dishonest LIB/DIM operative in prison! Supreme Court justice Kavanaugh should sue her into financial ruin.

The Left’s “children” I call “children of the night”.

In EVERY generation they are in darkness, and led not by any light of truth but only by the slogans, images, themes, lies, false innuendos and agendas of the Leftists.

It is particularly the images, the mental images the Left paints in their political childrens heads, that substitute for reality and any objective truth. All the Left has to do on any issue is to draw up those images and like pavolov’s dogs the children of the night rise up in agreement, and do the “agitating” the Left trained them for.

No mention of Ballsy-Fraud’s enormous GoFundMe account in the article. Lefties are shameless.

I read it would be unseemly and unprecedented for a Supreme Court Justice to sue for defamation.

Even if that is the case, what about Mark Judge? He is NOT a public figure.

There is as much evidence against him as there is that Feinstein turned me into a newt (I got better).

Ford should give all the money in the GOFUNDME account to a (REAL) charity.

I think her story is, indeed, over.

An indicator:
My wife, a woman of faith, decorum and few words could never find it worthwhile to learn her name. For the last month she has referred to her as “Christine Blowjob.”

When she is charged with lying and is in jail it will be over.

Interestingly enough, as Kavanaugh rose in his career through the very high profile and public DC Court of Appeals and the Bush 2 Administration, it was only after Kav was nominated to USSC that Ford “reluctantly” submitted her letter to DiFi.

In other words, Ford “knowingly” allowed this victimizer of poor helpless women - the “secret gang rapist” judge to sit unaccosted in judgement of cases before him, by Dr Ford for almost 2 decades. It strains credulity to say the least.

The “I believe you but poor dear, unfortunately we can’t prove it was by Kavanaugh” meme issuing forth from republicans like Collins is almost worse than the continual late hits by democrats.
