Trump Says if Attack on Kavanaugh Accuser Was ‘as Bad as She Says,’ Charges Would Have Been Filed
New York Times ^ | 21 Sep 2018 | Eileen Sullivan

WASHINGTON — President Trump directly questioned for the first time on Friday the veracity of the accusations levied by a woman who has said Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while they were both teenagers.

Mr. Trump said in a Twitter post that if the alleged attack “was as bad as she says,” charges would have been filed by the woman, Christine Blasey Ford, or her parents.

He asked her to produce contemporaneous law enforcement reports “so that we can learn date, time, and place!”

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!

she was the person who sneaked out of her parents' house to go to a party with older boys, where liquor was being served.
You are assuming it happened at all.

I don’t think this is a great answer. I don’t know what the motivation is behind it.

Yes, this has been the case from day one. Republicans in the committee and in Congress scurried to their safe spaces and have been silent. Nothing from even the ones desperate for Trump’s support—Heller, Cruz, as two examples. Where’s Lee? And Cornyn?

But Juaninta could give details about the place, the window, the downstairs coffee room and more, lots more. She did not know the exact date and NBC did discover it with all her details regarding the conference she was attending that weekend.

Charges weren’t filed with Juanita Broaddrick. It’s not always the case... Part of this whole thing by the democrats is to protect their sexual abuse. Trying to get Republucans to say things like this.

Um...Bill Clinton was the STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL at the time. IOW, the chief law enforcement officer in Arkansas. Exactly who was she going to report it to?

I wish people would stop making parallels between a 17 yr old at a party and grown men who have a position of power over their victims.

Maybe he thinks that people have made up their minds, and so there is no harm in ratcheting up the Trumpism.

Let’s see if we have the story right. The lady says that when when she was a teenager she once attended a booze party with two (or was it four) teenage boys from a different school, and then she went upstairs with them, entered a bedroom and got into bed with at least one. When things inevitably went further than she wanted to go, she yelled stop and the boy stopped. She didn’t think it was serious enough at the time to call the cops or even tell anyone about it. But now 30 some odd years later she wants to call it attempted rape? Give me a break.

Juanita also said the story to 4 people that day and later her future husband and told more through out the years after.

She is the one who admitted to this behavior. Since it's far from positive behavior, she already incriminated herself as to being any sort of fine, upstanding citizen, or anyone that anyone else should spend 3 seconds listening to.

Good Point. Bill being the state attorney general at the time.

Shapiro is the biggest wussbag in our side. He sees himself as the conscience of the conservative movement but he’s just boring. He’s the new Glenn Beck. How can someone be so right one second and such a pus the next?

Flake is now holding out again

Do you have a link to that? Not that I doubt it for a second, I knew the republicans would cave. Between that and Trump backing down on declassifying, it's just not a good week.

Mitch already has lined up the votes and Grassley is moving forward.

Trump doesn’t tweet that without these green lights.

Given what little we know about her reputation at the time and dad’s position as president of an elite private club.He probably didn’t want to get tangled up in his daughter’s poor behavior. I’m sure he was aware that his daughter was no angel and he wasn’t willing to risk everything or anything for this incident. She probably snuck out or he wasn’t home anyway. That crowd had 2nd homes. where their kids ran around unsupervised all summer. During the off season the parents escaped to their vacation homes to ignore their families and spend time with their mistresses.

I find it interesting that after hiding herself from this, so called, incident for over 30 years, and trying to send a blank signature letter forward, she suddenly, and prior to the confirmation vote on his supreme court nomination by her, wants an FBI investigation to be quickly and lawfully accomplished.

This is stupid. There can be no FBI investigation if the white house says no. And even if the senate, which cannot investigate the crime itself, calls for the two to make a statement under oath for the purposes of the confirmation, either one could lie and the subject just becomes a pissing contest. Reliability in this case, since she cannot produce the time, place, or who was there as she claimed more than one pushed into the bedroom, is more than questionable. I can say the sun came out last night in my home. Believe it? I’m just as credible as she or he is.

No, she’d have been laughed out of the police station. If things happened as she claims, it’s all a nothing burger. There was no rape. There was no disrobing. There was no privates/skin touching. There was no kidnapping. There wasn’t even a stolen kiss. At most, even in her words, it was a sad attempt from drunks, including her drunk self, who fumbled around for a few seconds and not getting anywhere.

What’s interesting is her story from 2012 to yesterday was there were 4 guys and her. Suddenly, in the past few hours, now the 4th person was a girl. Smells like she is catching flak on being the sole female at an all male upperclassman beer party.

Attempted rape and attempted murder? Yep, that’s the sort of thing where normal people call the police - and they don’t wait 36 or so years to do it.
