For Christine Blasey Ford, a Drastic Turn to a Quiet Life in Academia
The New York Times ^ | September 19,2018 | By Elizabeth Williamson, Rebecca R. Ruiz, Emily Steel, Grace Ashford and Steve Ede

The text message from Christine Blasey Ford this summer worried her college best friend, Catherine Piwowarski.

Over their years of friendship — as roommates, bridesmaids and parents on opposite coasts — Dr. Blasey wanted to know, had she ever confided that she had been sexually assaulted in high school?

No, Ms. Piwowarski said she texted back, she would have remembered that, and was everything O.K.? Dr. Blasey didn’t want to speak in detail quite yet, her friend recalled her responding. “I don’t know why she was asking that or what it ultimately meant or didn’t mean,” Ms. Piwowarski said in an interview, but she remembers thinking that the question betrayed deep turmoil.

That was about a month before Dr. Blasey, a research psychologist, came forward with her allegation that Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, sexually assaulted her more than three decades ago when they were high school students in the Washington suburbs.

“Quiet life”

Fomenting hate against America, and western civilization in general?

FIVE BY-LINES? Are reporters so deficient in interviewing and writing skills that it takes five of them to write a simpleton feature like this?

“Dr. Blasey wanted to know, had she ever confided that she had been sexually assaulted in high school?”

She wanted to know if she had ever named names or given details that would blow the current story.

Yep, I’m sure that is what was going on. She wanted to talk to people she knew, about what she may have said in the past about this.

Is anyone else troubled that they are going back to high school to dig up dirt on someone?

Christine Blasey Ford shall NEVER live a quiet life - if she didn’t have enough drama and stress in her life, she would have to go out and invent some.

Looks like she hit the mother lode. Great adventure for somebody with snakes in her head.

There's a big psychological red flag - planting false memories.

Yeah--four females and one male . . . probably a safe bet that he hasn't decided on his gender yet--or that he's already out and proud.

FAKE NEWS There is nothing quiet about her life. She has been photographed protesting. And she sent her letter first to the Washington Post. So she was just heeding the call to stop Kavanaugh at any cost. And she hoped to cause a stir.

She was hoping to plant a memory in the minds of others.
