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.
The Hill, WAPO, NYT, AOL etc. same old fake news BS.

” “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.”
Where are they going to find another house with 7 front doors?
And looks aesthetically pleasing from the street.
It’s hell being a Perjurer.
That being said, who the heck would make death threats against a Woman who is withering under an examination of her own sordid Tale?
Sounds like the usual hoax.
she got plenty of money(gofundme) she can stay at hotel
she created the mess by trusting the Dems with her story in the first place. She got stupider and kept switching her story which makes people not like you even more. She is likely being targeted at this point by soros funded people or maybe her own neighbors for creating a circus for the neighborhood.
.
Who?
Yeah. I guess the left is pretty mad at her.
She failed at her mission.
Ford's allegations were as weak as they possible could be. The supposed assault had never been reported to the police or anyone else for 36 years. There was no hard evidence backing it up. Ford's supposed witnesses contradicted or refused to confirm her account. There were many other signs that her account was false. Ford is a partisan Democrat, and Democrats were desperate to stop Kavanaugh's confirmation, providing plenty of motive for Ford to lie.
Yet despite all that, leftists do not question Ford's motives, and they find her story to be "highly credible." They want to believe, and that is always good enough for them, reality be damned.
Leftists are insane.
Has she sued Feinstein yet?
Don’t suppose she can prove THIS lie, either.
Perhaps she should put in a third front door.
No one wants her murdered. There likely many who want her arrested and sued. She is a liar...as are her attorneys .
Exactly right!
Yes - funny that the LSM doesn’t mention her gofundme winnings.
It’s Emily Birnbaum writing for The Hill again. Her bias against Kavanaugh is so strong it has the skunks jealous.
Perhaps it is time to rename The Hill. How about “The Smear Hill”? Smells about right.
Exactly right.
> I didn’t see any of “her family” at the hearings.
The fact that not ONE friend or family member showed up, other than the one who helped conspire to concoct the story, speaks volumes. Not even her husband showed up.
It says that everyone who knows her (including her husband) knows she’s full of it.
Well Fact Is, She Should Have Thought About That
Before She Started Her Slander And Liable Against
Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh
Not in Palo Alto area...median home is about $3.5 million...but they could sell one oftheir homes and reap the profits. Would request Katz reveal tapes, tweets, phone call proof of dire "deplorable" death threats but like all other requests to Katz....
