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.
Last I heard, her GoFundMe was up to $700k. That doesn't go very far in Palo Alto, California.
Her house is Zestimated to be worth $3.3m.
It's a California shack. The famous extra exit door is on the left. The front door is thru the breezeway at right by the garage.
She could get a needed face lift, saggy chin reduction, and buy a dark haired wig.
Let her sue Feinswein.
Leave the rest of us alone.
Her husband probably changed the locks!!
BINGO!! Death Threats are OWNED by the LEFT!
ONE of her lawyers.....the OTHERS are ALL INVOLVED with TRUMP GUILTY/HILLIARY INNOCENT Fiasco!!
Buy a gun, Chrissy. And learn how to use it.
I wonder how many are from the Left, telling her she blew it and now she has to pay the mob....

Yep a good friend from a reliably (D) voting family
says, “something” did happen. I says, well,
where is the proof-the time place date details
police report witnesses. He says well Kavanaugh has a
drinking and temperament problem. I says
aren’t you a believer in redemption and 2nd chances Etc.
Eventually it comes down to I don’t like his
politics and blah blah about abortion and not that
the flow of last minute allegations were contrived
but should have come forward sooner.
“5She is still receiving “unending” death threats.”
Can she corroborate them as well as she did her blather about Brett?
yeah, thats too bad ..
F U C F
Maybe her lawyers should have told her the cmte would fly to her and keep her out of the news, but the lawyers like the CPL only want attention at any cost.
Won’t she be staying at hotels anyway on her book and talk show victim tour?
This will be her excuse for using the Go-Bribe-Me money to move into a large, gated Community...
