Kinda makes you think that McGahn may be one of the leakers in the White House. How else does a story like this get out?

nearly everyone in both camps found her credible, sincere and sympathetic. President Trump called Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, and they agreed she was impressive. What bullsh##

The site is a liberal propaganda channel run by the deep state. I gave up reading it before I got to the end of the first paragraph.

"This account of the fight, assembled through interviews with White House officials, senators of both parties, staff members, lawyers and others involved, some of whom did not want to be identified describing private moments"

You make a good point, if there were only 3 people in the room at that time. It's also possible that this is Trump approved leaking. He seems to be a natural at using the media.

Because Leftists created a society where feelings count more than facts.

I am really, really glad this turned out well. I recognize that the counsel gave good advice and made the right call. But this:

Donald F. McGahn II, his White House counsel, refused to take the call [from his boss, President Trump].

If it hadn't gone well, I think we'd all be saying that the counsel was Deep State and deliberately sabotaged Kavanaugh by cutting the President out of the process.

As I say, I'm really glad the counsel gave good advice. But he took a risk.

I guess they missed the hearings.

“Mr. Trump thought it was time to bring in the F.B.I. to investigate, as many opponents of Judge Kavanaugh had urged, but when he called the Hart Building, Donald F. McGahn II, his White House counsel, refused to take the call.”

Yeah, sure.

“Hey! The President’s on the line!”
“Tell him I’m busy.”

Uh, huh.

She wasn’t credible. She was a liar and a fraud.
And NOT ONE PERSON backed her fairytale.

I can’t fly, but I fly everywhere..on and on her lies.

"..and nearly everyone in both camps found her credible, sincere and sympathetic."

ONLY out of FEAR of APPEARING INSENSITIVE to the #MeToo movement, BUT IN REALITY, FEW IF ANYONE believes Ford was sexually assaulted let alone assaulted by Kavanaugh.

Ford is a LIAR. THAT is what many believe and it's a SHAME that we have to LIE ourselves when we say she was "CREDIBLE" in order to AVOID RECEIVING DEATH THREATS FROM THE TERRORIST MOVEMENT KNOWN AS #METOO. She wasn't credible in the least bit.

The #MeToo movement has become a SOCIAL TERRORIST movement and you better give in to their DEMANDS, OR ELSE.

“They are just blasting through one rule and one tradition after another,” said Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the Democratic whip. “If that does not change, it is going to be hard to repair the institutional damage here.””

Democrats are the most accomplished liars on the face of the planet ... and their best technique is to accuse the other guy of what they themselves are doing ... with a straight face ...

Yeah, I am not buying that line either. She had that little girl crackling voice but there were no tears or even much emotion in her face. She was a bad actor. Not credible to anyone but completely gullible fools. My wife who spent most of her career supervising women immediately rolled her eyes and declared that Christine was full of it. She had seen this type of act dozens of times previously and every time the woman was lying her butt off.

"Christine Blasey Ford had just finished testifying that he had tried to force himself on her as a teenager, and nearly everyone in both camps found her credible, sincere and sympathetic. "

Sod off, Peter Baker and Nicholas Fandos.

Remember this?

https://www.sfgate.com/opinion/saunders/article/Clinton-s-Contribution-One-Free-Grope-3319063.php

Why does a sitting President in the Oval Office get a free grope, but a mere high-school kid does not?
