Christine Blasey Ford, accuser of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, agrees to Senate testimony

Captain Adverse said:
Her best bet would be to opt for testimony via video-chat resources in her home or some other "safe space" in her local area, as offered by the committee.

Some committee staff member(s) would go out to serve as on-site witnesses to insure it was a valid presentation.

There is no need for her to "drive" cross-country, and perhaps suffer some "mishap" along the way.

Drive?

Dr. Ford could afford a private jet. She is very wealthy, very educated, and very partisan political experienced. She didn't write 8 PR promotional pieces for a mega billion dollar drug company that sells an abortion pill for nothing.

What? You would presume that she may have made the whole thing up when her husband found her screwing the gardener or something such as that? Just because this came out during marriage counseling doesn't mean that there were marriage issues. Maybe she and her husband chose marriage counseling instead of renewing vows.

That is an absurd claim. No one goes to marriage counseling because they have a perfect marriage. "Hey, dear, let's go spend $300 an hour telling a fellow psychologist of yours how wonderfully happy we are!"

You're right.

The letter makes little sense. Committee hearings are choreographed and organized almost to the point of being silly. Normally the negotiation concerns how many minutes each senator will get and how many rounds of questioning.

Ford must be asking for something very unusual if it's this difficult. I wouldn't be surprised if this is another effort to postpone the vote, and she eventually backs out.

I'm not seeing what he did as being sexual. Their description of sexual does not apply as far as my understanding. Touching in her pubic or anal area for the reason of getting sexually excited. Wouldn't that mean he got an erection and the victim would know it. You have to go back and understand what their definition of sexual is.

I'm not saying that her allegation would result in a conviction but that would likely be the the charge that best fits her allegation.

They're still on the same boat as they were two days ago!

"Sometime next week," is a delaying tactic! They're playing games!



Looks like they'll go ahead with the vote on Monday:


Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, speaking at a gathering of evangelical voters in Washington, assured them Kavanaugh would be confirmed.

If Ford is so sure Kavanaugh sexual assaulted her she needs to file a criminal complaint. I am surprised her lawyer has not have her do so. If what I heard on a news show is correct, the State in which the alleged assault took place has not time limit for filing.

I want the senators to see all her therapy notes, I suspect there might be a reason for her claiming this minor league assault took place that has nothing to do with reality

You're really off-base with this. Never thought you would dwell in the Trump sewer with the others. I was wrong.

I thought that too, it's fits the best but I still don't think because of the underage drinking, their ages and no adult present, that the Police would have charged the boy. Or the boys. She said both jumped on her.

There is so much more that needs to be known. Were there locks on the bedroom doors in the house? Whose house was it? What was taking place before the attack? How long did the attack last? Why were the two boys laughing if this was an attempted rape? How long had she been at the house and what was she doing before she arrived? What did she do after the attack? Why were the two boys upstairs and where were the other kids? So may questions needs to be answered before this story could be believed. Every reason for it not to be believed unless of course you don't want Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court.

Her description of this attack just not leave me thinking it would be that emotional. I'm looking forward to hearing what all she has to say.
 
Color me skeptical but there's so much in the response from Ford's attorney to me says Ford was never intending on testifying. But rather to level allegations that can not be proved. That is why Feinstein sat on this letter for 6 weeks claiming the accuser wanted to remain confidential. Yet the WaPo claimed the same month (July) that Ford wrote a letter to her Congresswoman and Senator Feinstein, she also contacted the WaPo hotline to tell her story. So the whole confidential crap is just that... crap. She also lawyered up by the first of August by whom you ask leftist activist attorneys that are funded by Soros activist organizations. Who are they?


One is Ricki Seidman an activist who has been around for decades who had a hand in borking Bork and making Clarence Thomas' life a living Hell with the circus of the Anita Hill hearings which have since gone through such revisionism of what actually occurred .

In July, Ricki Seidman – a Democratic operative, former Clinton White House official and current advisor to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford laid out a strategy to defeat the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.



And then there is her attorney who was very involved in the Resistance movement from the very beginning. Meet Debra Katz at a resistance protest rally after Sessions was confirmed.

Of course ABC in this video only identifies her as a protester but she is well known for her leftist activism.

And a gnawing question is why would someone need to lawyer up if their intent was to keep her identity confidential.


So again color me skeptical but I do not believe Ford is going to testify, she never intended to testify and all of this is a ruse to dirty Kavanaugh with ghost allegations that can not be proved.


My bet the first time we hear Ford speak will be in an interview with Stephanopoulos or 60 minutes where she isn't under oath under penalty of perjury.

Law Enforcement would not have considered this an attempted rape or sexual assault. The Prosecutor would not have either.

You asked about unsupervised drinking- this one was supervised
This was reported to the Police who messed it up
The DA placed in front of a GJ that rarely indicted
High school rich kids were protected.
He was replaced, the indictments went up significantly

There were 5 people in that party (that includes her and Kavanaugh).
She named two as witnesses (Mark Judge and "PJ"). Both had denied having any knowledge of her claims.

2 out of 3, who can allegedly corroborate some, if not all of her claims....... don't know what she's on about.

I'm curious. Who's the 5th person?

Not only that.

She contacted The Post - she spilled her guts - and, expected it to be "off the record." :lol:


She's accusing a very high-profile judge who's in the midst of this bitter battle between Reps and Dems (pro-lifers and pro-choice), on the eve of his confirmation, riding on the back of MeToo sensationalism
- and she expects The Post to sit on it! Keep it confidential! :lamo

Oh wow, haven't heard this, can you give me the source?

This is great, the owner of the home can answer some questions that Dr. Ford doesn't remember. Like Are there locks on the bedroom doors or was there back when this happened?

I guess they won't know if she is the only one who says this happened.

Thanks for the link.
From the link you provided Ford does not even have a civil case to file:
"In Maryland, a civil sexual abuse case must be filed within:
In childhood sexual abuse cases, seven years from the victim’s 18th birthday, and
Three years from the event for adult cases."

If your correct on the assault not being a felony, then she missed the boat on criminal charges.

After all this had died down.....her employer should quietly ask for a psychological evaluation on Ford.

Either she's wilfully doing this - as dirty politics - to prevent the confirmation of Kavanaugh, or she could be having some real mental problems. She could be in a fantasy world, or could be fixated on Kavanaugh....who knows.....

I agree that there could be many reasons for her doing this other than Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her. Can't buy it at this time and I doubt I will when this is done.

People go into the field of Psychology because of their own mental health issues, I suspected she may have mental health issues when I first read about her and the charges.

Some people not all people.

Oh well, sorry to upset you.

The victim in your link was raped, Dr Ford was not raped and like I've posted, I don't see Frod's incident as a sexual assault. I'm going by her letter to Feinstein because that's all I've read in her own words and not a journalist describing the alleged attempted rape.

Grass does die in the shade, not unusual. lol You're really out there, I'm new to the forum and don't know much about the members. I'll be sure and read through many of your posts in order to make a decision on who I'm dealing with :)
