Congratulations to Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, I guess.
No, no, wait. The offense alleged here is serious, much more than Kavanaugh and a pal locking a female classmate in a room or whatever, as was claimed yesterday. And Farrow’s track record (he co-wrote the piece with Obama apologist Jane Mayer) will lend it a patina of credibility to readers.
But the evidence is thin as can be.
The woman, who has asked not to be identified, first approached Democratic lawmakers in July, shortly after Trump nominated Kavanaugh. The allegation dates back to the early nineteen-eighties, when Kavanaugh was a high-school student at Georgetown Preparatory School, in Bethesda, Maryland, and the woman attended a nearby high school. In the letter, the woman alleged that, during an encounter at a party, Kavanaugh held her down, and that he attempted to force himself on her. She claimed in the letter that Kavanaugh and a classmate of his, both of whom had been drinking, turned up music that was playing in the room to conceal the sound of her protests, and that Kavanaugh covered her mouth with his hand. She was able to free herself. Although the alleged incident took place decades ago and the three individuals involved were minors, the woman said that the memory had been a source of ongoing distress for her, and that she had sought psychological treatment as a result.
In a statement, Kavanaugh said, “I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time.”
Kavanaugh’s classmate said of the woman’s allegation, “I have no recollection of that.”
He’s not the only classmate who has no recollection of it

You have to remember we all lived through Dan Rather’s typewriter that did not exist fiasco.
Exactly .
Allahidiot is a Left wing media blogger and huge Trump hater .
I would also suspect that Feinstein sat on it for two months to let Democrat operatives try to substantiate it. Apparently they’ve been unable to do so, so Feinstein has let fly with hearsay and innuendo.
They are pulling a judge Roy Moore on Kavanaugh. All they need now is a crying press conference with Gloria.
Clarence Thomas smear redux.
Yep, which is some of the #mettoo problems I have all the way around.
James Bond was a pro at this.
Hey Ronan.....be a REPORTER and REPORT HER NAME!!!! YOU CANT because she’s either LYING or doesn’t EXIST!!!
No, it was not a fair question.
I didn’t bring the Moore comparison into the discussion, others did.
The comparison should be between Thomas and Kavanaugh.
Biggest mistake POTUS Trump made was taking Sessions out of the Senate to make him AG to reward him for his early support. We would have avoided all this heartburn.
You nailed it !!
NAME HER!!!!!
“the woman said that the memory had been a source of ongoing distress for her, and that she had sought psychological treatment as a result. “
I called this yesterday!
Nothing happened but she’s psychologically scarred for life!
ok...there’s that.
I don’t remember Hannity being friendly to him. I just remember him being a Horrible interviewer!
The only good thing about Hannity are his conservative guests.
Yup.
And it took her 40 years to ‘remember’ it and speak out against him.
Didn’t do it then. Or the next year. Or the year after. Or 10 years later. Or when he was up for ANY of the numerous appointments AFTER that. Only NOW does she think it’s important enough to mention.
And why wouldn’t they use the Roy Moore strategy. It worked perfectly! Most Republicans were on board with it. Even though all those women were proven liars and have since slunk off to the swamp where they live.
Next up, 5 or 6 MORE women who ‘remember’ kavanaugh doing really bad stuff 30+ years ago. And only now remembered it or bothered to say anything to anyone about it.
You sound like a gullible girl!! There is NO such instance where this happened!!! You act like it’s TRUE! HA!! There would be a NAME!!
At least until the money is right.
1982 = briefcase size cell phones!
feinstein reports accuser possesses smart phone recording of incident.
LOL
It’s to SCARE the Weak Sisters, Collins and Murkowski, to vote NO.....and maybe even WEAK MEN who are henpecked by their nasty wives to vote NO!!!!
