California professor Christine Ford claims Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her: 'It derailed me'
Fox News ^ | 9/16/2018 | Greg Re

The woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault came forward with her explosive allegations on Sunday, saying the supposed attack "derailed me substantially for four or five years" and claiming that the episode rendered her "unable to have healthy relationships with men."

The woman, Christine Ford, is a professor at Palo Alto University, according to The Washington Post, which published her account on Sunday. Her decision to go public caps a whirlwhind week that began when Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., sent shockwaves through Washington by releasing a statement saying she turned over information about Kavanaugh from an anonymous accuser to the FBI.

Ford, a 51-year-old registered Democrat who has published in academic journals and trains students in clinical psychology, described the alleged incident on Sunday, saying it occurred at a Maryland house gathering. Ford claimed she headed upstairs to a bathroom when she was suddenly pushed onto a bed, as rock-and-roll music blared.

Brett Kavanaugh says it never happened, not in high school or any at any other time. I think of those Duke Lacrosse guys and what they were accused of. Somebody is lying here.

From your link... “According to The Washington Post, Ford acted on the advice of her lawyer, Debra Katz, and took a polygraph test administered by an FBI agent in July.”

An attorney and a polygraph by the FBI In July?

This was a recovered memory by Ford during a 2012 therapy session. What type of therapy?

False memory syndrome. Many psychologists were sued big time for this.

I’d like to see the marriage therapist paraded in the media. If the therapist is not lying, maybe this is true. I am torn between WHAT A STUPID LEFTIST STUNT and tending to believe women because so much of this crap does happen.

Let me just say that IF SOMEONE WHO RAPED ME AS A CHILD were up for Supreme Court Nomination I’d speak out. If someone who in high school, drunk, knocked me onto a bed at a party, covered my mouth, tried to get off my bathing suit, laughed, and failed, were up for SC nomination, I’d keep my mouth shut even if it were a communist. Too long ago, kids do stupid things, and nothing really happened.

One big difference between this case and the Anita Hill debacle is that there is no obvious connection between Kavanaugh and this accuser. “I’ve never met this person in my life” is a very credible defense for Kavanaugh, unless they were neighbors (which I assume is not the case).

But he said it never happened, not in high school nor any other time. What to make of that? He is lying or she is lying. There is a liar here.

“However, Ford told The Post she did not recall exactly who owned the house, how she came to be at the house, or how the gathering was arranged. She remembered only that the house was in Montgomery County, near a country club, and that parents were not present.”

Here’s a woman who is missing a lot of details in her memory of an event that occurred (if we are to accept her claim as sincere) several decades ago—probably 36 years ago. (She thinks, according to another article, this occurred in 1982.)

Sorry. It is the duty of an assault victim to speak out as soon as is practically possible in order to prevent offenders from harming others. If this is not done, other than in exceptional cases such as fear of organized criminals retaliating, then such claims can never be treated as credible.

For all we know she might have been assaulted by someone and she wrongly thinks it was someone else. She admits there was no adult supervision at this party, and underaged drinking was going on. Had she been drinking? Was she drunk? How drunk? Could drinking have affected her recollection of these events?

Or, as is very possible, she might be a political activist who is willing to completely make up something purely to harm someone for political purposes.

Regardless: too little, too late.

With those credentials this accusation must have cost the DNC or Feinstein big bucks.

Here we go. The first fake letter was to prime the pump, so to speak, and give us a slight doubt about Kavanaugh. This one was ready from the start, and is being dragged out now. There will be one more next week, then another the week after.

The dems, may they be damned and may their name be cursed throughout heaven and earth, have been gathering fake information for months now, thanks to their generous offer of big bucks for some whore to come forward and perjure her rotten self.

Call me a cynic, I don’t care.

She apparently told the story in 2012, and there are notes to confirm it. This story is likely based in some actual event, whether it went down as described, we will never know.

Democrats are pulling out all stops to keep Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court.

If this slander doesn’t work what’s next?

Will they blow his house up?

Crash a Boeing 757 into it?

There is no bottom limit to their insane behavior.
