Blasey Ford's Curious Omission: Nothing new revealed in testimony except what she failed to say.
American Thinker ^ | 10/01/2018 | Selwyn Duke

Posted on 10/01/2018 9:51:45 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

There was something curiously missing from Christine Blasey Ford’s Thursday Senate testimony, something quite relevant to her claims. Consider the following segment testimony about the alleged (circa) 1982 sexual assault by SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh:

Both Brett and Mark [Judge] were drunkenly laughing during the attack… During this assault, Mark came over and jumped on the bed twice while Brett was on top of me. And the last time that he did this, we toppled over and Brett was no longer on top of me. I was able to get up and run out of the room.

Now please read the corresponding segment from her original letter, sent months ago to Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.):


Kavanaugh was on top of me while laughing with Judge… At one point when Judge jumped onto the bed, the weight on me was substantial. The pile toppled, and the two scrapped with each other.

After a few attempts to get away, I was able to take this opportune moment to get up and run across to a hallway bathroom.

What jumps out at you? “[T]he two scrapped with each other.” “Scrapped.”

I related this aspect of Ford’s story to a woman close to me at a Saturday affair and asked, “What does that tell you?”

She responded, “That they weren’t that interested in her.”

Now, don’t misunderstand me. The incident Ford describes would be sexual misconduct and surely morally wrong. But assuming it happened -- and let’s for argument’s sake say that Ford was assaulted by a boy (whether Kavanaugh or someone else) in the manner she describes -- it’s quite understandable why she omitted mention of the "scrapping" from her Senate testimony.

It severely weakens her case.

If it happened, it sounds more like horseplay than anything else.

Certainly if two males wanted her to remain in the room, it seems safe to say that she would have remained in the room.

But the two males were not focused on that goal. Having her in the room was not of primary importance, and so she left the room.

This event — if it happened — is such a nothingburger. It cheapens all real sexual assault.

Interesting, yes; but it gives some credibility to the original accusation.

I’m not willing to give Ford’s charge against Kavanaugh any credit at all.

That she would run into a bathroom instead of down the 4 stairs.....makes no sense at all.

To refresh....she said she went up a short flight of stairs to the bathroom.

Maybe she had gone in there earlier to take off her wet bathing suit and needed to retrieve it because it was her team suit. And she’d need it to compete in competition.

Her key witnesses to the event said she was never at this party and never met Kavanaugh in her life. Everything else is speculation on a delusional fantasy.

That’s why her lawyers had her take out the part about two boys “scrapping”, so it wouldn’t sound like horse play. Other things in her original letter were cleaned up.. The bitch is lying, it’s so obvious

She says a lot of things. She also said she ran across the hallway to the bathroom. Did she run across the hallway or up the stairs? Was the bathroom across the hall or up the stairs?

Exactly. Every time I see a picture of Ford I say to myself, get help lady, you are bat sh*t crazy.

The lawyers made sure she escaped to a bathroom on that floor, which is illogical. Anyone in this state she claims to be in, in a panic, would have run downstairs as fast as she could, once the “drunken boys” were on the floor... If she had, others would have seen it.. So to support her lie, she has to have remained in the bathroom until it was safe to leave, quietly slipping out, without saying anything to anyone or even telling her girlfriend, “Hey we better get out of her Brett & Mark are drunk and just tried to take my clothes off.”

I’d love to see this bitch do some jail time for what she is doing.

I have been asking the less moronic of the democrats how they would like it if they or their fathers were accused of “attempted rape” for every time they tried to feel a girl up in high school.

HOW ELSE are you going to find out which ones will let you?????

Not that you can believe anything this LIAR said but she said she had her bathing suit on while her fantasy/lie was being worked out.

Not many men have been intersted in her. She was on the fast track to spinsterville until she met Mr. Ford on the internet at age 35.
