Accuser's schoolmate says she recalls hearing of alleged Kavanaugh incident

[nota bene]

Weren’t multiple people allegedly at the incident? I could see the type of guy who would stand around watching that happen also be the type of guy to joke about it with others afterwards. Certainly wouldn’t be the first time loose lips sunk a ship.

As of a few hours ago, two boys and two girls were at the "gathering," although Ford's therapist's notes state that in 2012 she said that there were four guys.

 

[Taylor]

She sounds confused.

 

[nota bene]

The therapists are potential witnesses before the Committee who can provide valuable information supporting that such an incident was talked about years before the Kavanaugh nomination was made. As is Fords husband.

Ah, yes, Russell Ford. The therapist's notes don't mention Kavanaugh, but Ford says his wife did identify the guy as Kavanaugh.

 

[nota bene]

She sounds confused.

She says the therapist's notes are wrong.

It's difficult to keep up today. First, Ford decides she wants to go public and talk to the Senate; now she won't, according to her lawyers, unless the FBI launches an investigation. Uh-huh.

Yeah, I think she said the therapist recorded it wrong, which is plausible to me as frommthe therapist’s perspective the exact number of people wouldn’t be super relavent.

But looking at the types of things Mark Judge has written he definitely strikes me as the KIND of guy who might brag about seeing such a thing to his buddies if he were in fact there at the time of the alleged incident.

republicans to release a list of names of people who didn't hear about the story LOL like they did with their dumb list of women that weren't sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh. There is a lot more to this than just an accusation that makes it hard for republicans to claim it is fake or just a political stunt. Don't matter, it won't stop them from spouting that BS, they have no dignity and no shame

I hope she is strong enough to face the wrath and testify and who the country what misogynistic assholes republicans are.

no accusing someone of sexual assault with no evidence is having no dignity and no shame.
Innocent until proven guilty remember?

i doubt it.

Who cares about one of the most sacred rights of our country right?

I sort of feel sorry for her as she's being dragged along by her Democrat handlers who I'm guessing knew this wouldn't end well - then again, it was her choice to turn this into a political matter.

her story is all over the place.

she doesn't remember how she got there, whose house it was, the date of the party, etc ...
she said it was two her therapist said 4.

there are a lot of holes in her story and a lot of details not there.

Just remember, the standards you set today will apply equally to you tomorrow.

That ship has already sailed. The name written on the side.... USS MERICK GARLAND.

democrats don't give one crap about her. for them this is nothing more than a political stunt to try and get brett to go away.
i hope grassely and brett don't by into it.

Hold the hearing on monday when she doesn't show close it and move to vote.

So if you get sexually assaulted and have no evidence you should just suck it up and be quiet? There is no shame in calling out someone who assaulted you. There is shame in LYING about being assaulted.

We don’t know the truth in this instance. But the innocent until proven guilty standard applies only to a criminal court of law.

This latest woman...her credibility is shot already.

So, she posts on FB and says stuff. Then she posts on Twitter and says stuff. Then she deletes the twitter and FB posts. Then she tweets this:

Hi all, deleted this because it served its purpose and I am now dealing with a slew of requests for interviews from The Wash Post, CNN, CBS News. Organizing how I want to proceed. Was not ready for that, not sure I am interested in pursuing. Thanks for reading

Then she tweets this:

To all media, I will not be doing anymore interviews. No more circus. To clarify my post: I do not have first hand knowledge of the incident that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford mentions, and I stand by my support for Christine. That’s it. I don’t have more to say on the subject.

I'm a cynical person sometimes. My guess is, she thought she could make some quick cash from the media...they didn't offer any money...she's moving on.

Cristina King Miranda says she recalls it being discussed at their school, but has no first-hand knowledge of the alleged assault by Brett Kavanaugh.

WASHINGTON — A former schoolmate of Brett Kavanaugh's accuser wrote a Facebook post saying she recalls hearing about the alleged assault incident involving the future Supreme Court nominee, though she says she has no first-hand information to corroborate the accuser's claims.

"Christine Blasey Ford was a year or so behind me," wrote the woman, Cristina Miranda King, who now works as a performing arts curator in Mexico City. "I did not know her personally but I remember her. This incident did happen."
====================================================
So apparently the sexual assault did happen & was apparently commonly discussed at her private school.

yet Ford claims she told no one. Kavanaugh must have dressed in drag, snuck into the all girls' school and talked about it

I wonder how long it will take for this woman to start getting death threats.

She's already gotten a bunch, she and her family are hiding.

This is another Anita Hill moment.

I'm guessing that as soon as the media started doing its due diligence the bs alarms started going off.

 

[Moot]

My guess would be about an hour after she posted on Facebook.

 

[JustHanging]

i saw that as well. so anything she says is irrelevant.

Not at all.

The fact that it was being discussed at the time means this was not invented to stop the Kavanaugh nomination as many on the right accused.

Yeah; after I read the first post in this thread, I checked out her social media and things were changing as I was reading between twitter and facebook.
Took a break from it and when I went back, only the "to the media" tweet was left on her twitter account.

Well, that was another nothingburger ... ha ha ha.

 

[nota bene]

That ship has already sailed. The name written on the side.... USS MERICK GARLAND.

So Republicans came up with an attempted-rape accusation "Hail Mary"? Or are you saying that this is Democrat retaliation for Garland?

It's Ford saying she was eager to talk to the Committee and then instantly reversing that and saying no, I don't unless an FBI investigation is launched that has me going here.

 

[Skeptic Bob]

Or Mark Judge blabbed his mouth to buddies about it and it got out that way. But if that is the case and it was a rumor spreading through the school then we should expect others to come forward, unless they are scared of the media onslaught.

 

[ludin]

Not at all.

The fact that it was being discussed at the time means this was not invented to stop the Kavanaugh nomination as many on the right accused.

hearsay is not admissible anywhere and she stated that she had no direct knowledge that kavanaugh was involved.
You should read the OP better.

Here is a quote from her FB post:

“This incident did happen. Many of us heard a buzz about it indirectly with few specific details. However Christine’s vivid recollection should be more than enough for us to truly, deeply know that the accusation is true,” the Facebook post reads. “The drinking ensconced in the puritanism and hypocrisy of that elite, privileged, mostly white, Catholic, Washington society, was completely out of control.”

Several journalists challenged Miranda’s claim that the assault was discussed in school, citing Ford’s claim that she believed the attack “occurred in the summer of 1982.” Ford also told the Washington Post that she told no one of the alleged assault for some 30 years before eventually telling her therapist in 2012. https://www.nationalreview.com/news...ate-backtracks-after-guilty-claim-goes-viral/

Me as well. I want a hearing i want a hearing. OK here is your hearing.
I won't testify until i get a full FBI investigation (ie that is her lawyer talking).

well that isn't going to happen here is the date for the hearing.
i doubt she shows and if she doesn't then well there you go.

move to the confirmation vote.
