If we accept the yearbook as truth - how does this help Kavanaugh?
I would go as far as to suggest that her “reputation” might make it MORE likely someone might make a pass at her - especially a drunk, young man on weekend from all male boarding school.
It seems to be setting up a “he did it, but...” narrative. I don’t think we want that.
I suspect the yearbooks were pulled so alumni from the adjacent classes would not be harassed by reporters and conspiracists. I’m certain they still exist - just not available to the masses at the moment.
The Democrats want us to consider Kavanaugh as if he was the same person he was alleged to be when he was a teenager, since otherwise what he did or didn't do then has no bearing on his fitness to be a judge today. By their logic, we should consider Ms. Ford the same way, so today she isn't a mature researcher doing statistical analysis, she's a partying, drink until you are passed out and can't remember what happened girl.
That's why the yearbooks are relevant. So right now using the logic of the Democrats, we're waiting to hear the testimony of a usually drunk, probably promiscuous, teenage girl. Oh, and one who everyone she says was present at the party says that they weren't.
The yearbooks are very relevant under the logic of the Democrats. That is the real reason they have been scrubbed.
