    Her story isn’t terribly detailed.

    Tread very carefully agreeing with any detail she didn’t write in the Feinstein letter is the takeaway.

    Her story is missing some details, but the part describing the assault isn't exactly lacking in details.

    I'm sure she recalls in exact detail what happened 36 years ago... She supposedly said she doesn't even remember the year... Sounds credible to me... we'll see Thursday :)

    My prediction is Cavanaugh will be sitting on the Supreme Court bench very shortly and the high tech lynching 2 will blow up in smoke.

    The more I watch this circus the more I am convinced it has nothing to do with the Supreme Court and everything to do with the mid-terms.
    The the really sad part is we have reached a place in political discourse that either a massive conspiracy or a cover up is entirely plausible.

    This has always been about muddying the water. Two propellers do it better than one.

    How sure are you that it didn’t happen?

    It's certainly turned into a fine way to slander someone. Make broad accusations with no year or place known, instead of the precise ones that can actually be nailed down.

    By the fact the second firm was recommended to me by the owner of S&S Food stores here in Lake City which is a very large company that they were using. Two employees admitted to taking the funds and did repay the funds over a period of time. They quite frankly turned into some of my best employees as I kept them on as they took the funds under som dire conditions

    There wasn’t much of anything in Columbia, MD in 1982 save for Merriweather Post Pavilion. And if he was at a concert he’d probably put the act he was going to see, not the podunk town in which the venue is located.

    He’s clearly referencing country clubs. I think sports summer league is a good bet.

    Still doesn’t make sense. Perhaps you were going for “get a hold of yourself and calm down?”

    ROTFL at the so-called lie detector test, which was just released. What a shocker!

    If the credibility of the polygraph test is an issue shouldn't the polygraph operator who administered the test be testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee? As far as I know, he is not scheduled to testify. Also, if the FBI reopened the background investigation, which for some reason both the White House and the majority of the Committee have opposed, the FBI investigators would be reviewing the results of the test and interviewing the polygraph operator.

    Majority of these cases have little/no hard evidence. Your standard is far too high, especially since this is a job interview. It is obvious from your multiple posts that you have absolutely zero first-hand experience with victims of sexual adsault.

    What if Dr. Ford was your daughter?

    Victims of rape crimes often have incredible difficulties making good decisions later in life. My mother stopped much of her mental development when her step-grandfather started raping her every weekend as a teenager. She's now a 50+ year old woman that acts like, and makes the decisions a 14-year old would. It does not surprise me at all that this sexual assault victim had problems later in life that led to someone filing for a restraining order on her.

    Swetnick sued her former employer New York Life for sexual harassment. Strange the lawyer who represented her is the same lawyer representing Ford

    Have you ever wondered how it is that among the thousands of political happenings over the last several years that deserved to be mocked that every single one was from the other side?

    Does that seem strange at all?

    No, but I do have two experiences with false accusations

    Interesting fact, not really relevant. Seems that if there really is concern with the credibility of Blasey Ford, Ramirez and Swetnick the logical decision would have been to reopen the FBI background investigation of Kavanaugh which would have involved the questioning of all three of his accusers by skilled investigators. Instead the Republicans have opted to rush Kavanaugh's confirmation through the Senate while publicly smearing the reputations of Kavanaugh's accusers.
