Christine Blasey Ford still unable to live at home due to death threats, lawyers say
The Hill ^ | 10/07/18 | EMILY BIRNBAUM

Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her, cannot move back to her home due to the volume of death threats she is still receiving, her lawyers told NBC on Sunday.

One of Ford's attorneys, Debra Katz, told NBC's Kasie Hunt that it's going to be "quite some time" before Ford and her family can return home.

"Her family has been through a lot," Katz said. "They are not living at home. It’s going to be quite some time before they’re able to live at home. The threats have been unending. It’s deplorable."

"It’s been very frightening," Katz added.

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's attorneys tell @kasie that Ford is still not living at home and can't for "quite some time."

She is still receiving "unending" death threats.

— Kasie DC (@KasieDC) October 7, 2018 Ford two weeks ago publicly testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about her allegation that Kavanaugh pinned her down and tried to take off her clothes, at one point allegedly pressing his hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming, during a high school party in 1982.

Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Saturday after a bruising battle that also involved sexual misconduct allegations from two other women.

Kavanaugh vehemently denied all of the allegations.

Ford's lawyers during the NBC interview denounced the one-week FBI investigation into the women's accusations, saying it was not thorough. The FBI reportedly did not interview Ford or Kavanaugh as part of the probe.

Hunt asked Katz and Ford's other attorney Lisa Banks if they believe Ford was treated better than Anita Hill, the woman who publicly testified in 1991 about her accusation that then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas had sexually harassed her. Ford's allegations and her treatment were frequently compared to Hill's during the confirmation battle.

Hill's hearing was preceded by a three-day FBI investigation.

"With Anita Hill, there was a full FBI investigation before there was ever a hearing," Banks said. "That did not occur here. This process was far worse."

"We thought it was bad back in 1991, and it's even worse today, the political climate and how women are treated." - Dr. Ford's attorney Lisa Banks

— Kasie DC (@KasieDC) October 7, 2018 Banks and Katz said Ford was "horrified" by President Trump's comments about her last week, during which he mocked Ford's testimony in an attempt to undermine her credibility.

"She was upset by it, yes, as any woman would be who’s the victim of sexual assault who was mocked and belittled by anyone, never mind the president of the United States," Banks said.

Many Republican leaders who voted for Kavanaugh's confirmation, such as key swing vote Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), have said they believe Ford was attacked as a teenager but do not believe Kavanaugh was her assailant.

Banks on NBC said Ford "knows" who assaulted her.

"She testified she knew him, he knew her, and she knows exactly who sexually assaulted her on that day," Banks said.

While I am against death threats, that doesn’t change the fact that actions have consequences.

The left has gotten away with so much unethical and outright criminal behavior that they now find themselves stunned to learn that there is a price to be paid for these actions.

The Dems told this loon that she would be a hero and suffer no repercussions for falsifying the disgusting charges. They lied. She was stupid for believing their lies. Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.

What of the threats that Kavanaugh, his family, and Republican congressmen are getting in their private phone numbers thanks to a data breech by a Democrat operative?

Ladies & Gentlemen Dr. Ford’s family is worth Millions of Dallars. Her grandfather, Nicholas Deak, who was with the CIA had some sort of Banking Firm and was worth over $50 Million when he died years ago. So it’s a joke that she had a GoFundMe account. The real suckers are the ones who donated to that travesty.

Did you catch the “Her family has been through a lot”.

Our hearts bleed at the irony, Katz

I'm not convinced here...not even close.Hard to believe that Maoists would do so and there's no way that Kavanaugh supporters would do so.

But something just occurred to me...maybe it's the Rat Party Maoists who are doing it knowing that Kavanaugh supporters would be blamed.

And I am sure the death threats against Justice Kavanaugh as well as the protestors camped outside his house have just all evaporated. Or not.

Death threats? From conservatives? At this point, what on earth for?

She is probably just trying to increase the fees she will be paid on the feminazi speaker circuit.

Not to worry. There is a nice little residence in Danbury, Connecticut with her name on it.

Exactly. Did anyone ever really know here she lived, Etc.?
She was and is well hidden, probably living in a luxurious CIA safe house out of the country on the beach. And she is surfing as I write.

Keep it up, Lefties. Keep stirring the pot so Republicans will still be angry on Nov. 6 and will turn out in record numbers to support President Trump and Justice Kavanaugh.

Isn’t it interesting how liberal harpies always want someone else to get hurt for “the team?”

What, you can’t figure out how to work a gun yourself, hero?
