Thread by @KimStrassel: "1) More big breaking news, which further undercuts the Ford accusation
Thread Reader ^ | 09/22/2018 | Kimberley Strassel

Posted on 09/22/2018 9:40:56 PM PDT by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas

1) More big breaking news, which further undercuts the Ford accusation, as well as media handling of it. A source has given me the email that WaPo reporter Emma Brown sent to Mark Judge, one person Ford claims was at the party. This email is dated Sunday, Sept. 16, 2018....
7) So first, huge problem: This was just a week ago, and we have Ford giving two different accounts of who was present. Four boys. No, three boys, one girl. Either way, therapist notes from 2012 definitively say four boys, which Ford didn't dispute. But now... a girl!
8) Other problem: WaPo's reporting. Reporter has for a week had the names of those Ford listed as present. One is a woman. Yet it writes a story saying FOUR BOYS. Why? Maybe a mistake. But if so, why did WaPo never correct that narrative?

Did you read the theory by Ed Whelan? Look it up. He gives the name.

To an engineer like me, the biggest hole in her story is that he allegedly locked her in the room. I don’t know of a single governing body whose building code for residential dwellings would allow the installation of a lock on an interior door that cannot be opened from the INSIDE. This would be an egregious violation of even a half-assed fire code.

She did allege that. But that does not imply a dead-bolt, pocket the key scenario, which would have been a code violation. It only means the boys locked the door from the inside (and turned up the stereo) to keep from being interrupted. IOW, it would have kept her from being rescued from outside the bedroom, but would not have prevented her escaping, should she manage to reach the door.

Which is what she alleges she did. She said he was on top of her trying to take her one-piece off and holding his hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming. Then her assailant's friend supposedly jumped on them, causing them to topple onto the floor, from which she got up and ran across the hall, locking herself from the inside in a bathroom. Then her two assailants "loudly stumbled down the stair well at which point other persons at the house were talking with them. I exited the bathroom, ran outside of the house and went home."

For her story to be true (for pick your assailants), the BAC of the two guys must have been substantial. But no code violations are necessary.

The idea that she told a friend how many men she had sex with and the friend posted it on social media is absurd.

uhmm normal people might not do that but do you think chrissie and her “friend” are normal? could her friend been trying to out chrissie, knowing her closely and her credibility for years and not wanting chrissie to continue this “story”?

What’s the latest on this? anything new? I think Garret is the guy. I don’t think anything really bad happened, but I bet Garret was the guy. Garret may have even told Ford his name was Kavanaugh. Wouldn’t that be a great revelation.

This kind of behavior was common for Ford back then. I bet she was raped, or had all kinds of things happen to her when she was drunk. I doubt that this incident stands out. the counseling probably covered a lot of years of repressed feelings.

then you add into the mix, a chance to be a the left’s hero.

Does anyone else here find it not only offensive but scary that the left posts a video of young girls saying,
“We believe your testimony.”

she hasn’t even testified yet.

I PREDICT SHE WILL NOT TESTIFY. SHE WILL RECANT, AND RUN.

Plagiarizing this for Twitter. Brilliantly obvious!

Do you think they though Judge Kavanaugh would just step down? I mean how do they think they could pull this off?

It's your wedding day.

You're 22 years old, and have just been commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. But with a B.S. in Physics, you expect to be involved in the more-technical aspects of military science. You are also - despite your age - a "church elder" at your local church, which was built by your great-great-grandfather, who - together with his brother - also founded the town where you were born and grew up.

Your bride - dressed all in white - is 19. She's a good bit more naive than you, also a little overly emotional at times. But she's a real trooper: A member of the church Ladies' Aid Society, etc.

But, like I said, she's a little "delicate" - some might say: nervous (like her mother, who once went to sanatorium, "for nerves"). Their family hasn't been in the area as long as yours (they arrived only about 125 years ago), but they are big land-owners, etc. The "Old Man" is chairman of the board of the local Farmer's Bank, etc. - and is known for being rather stodgy, concerned about appearances, and having an impeccable reputation (his wife's nervous breakdown 10 years ago is a source of secret shame to him).

You are standing at the altar, wearing your officer's uniform, waiting for your bride to walk down the aisle - and then, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!

A woman you have never seen before marches up to the altar. She is obviously pregnant. She points her finger at you and accuses you of having "used" her. She breaks down in sobs and is quickly escorted out by a couple of "handlers" no one had noticed before.

Stunned silence.

The woman is never seen again. Two days later, a letter to the editor from her attorney appears in the local newspaper, stating that you are the father, and also providing a few somewhat mysterious and apparently contradictory details, but mostly just vague accusations. Apparently, it was a "one-night stand" - or maybe alcohol, diminished accountability, and even a little coercion were also involved (like I said, the wording of the letter is a little vague).

Your bride-to-be is suffering a nervous breakdown and refuses to see you (or rather, her physician won't let you see her), your father-in-law-to-be refuses to speak with you except through an attorney until this matter is cleared up, and even your superiors in the military are expressing concern mixed with veiled threats.

You KNOW that it is all untrue - but maybe the woman is genuinely confusing you with someone else, so maybe it isn't an actual "set-up?"

In fact, you DID have a "one-night stand" years ago (on the night of your high school graduation) with an out-of-town girl - but not with this woman.

People are pressuring you to make a statement. You should publicly swear that you "never had any premarital relations," etc. Your legal advisors - to whom you have told the story of your high school indiscretion - are pressuring you to publish a carefully-worded statement that would make you look like a damn fool. In actual fact, for a six-month period, you were taking medication that rendered you entirely impotent; also, your physician has examined you and declared that a case of measles you had as a child has rendered you 100% infertile (you hadn't even known that - and your bride-to-be was hoping for children). The lawyers are pressuring you to release all this info, which would prove that you were innocent - but the info that you are infertile has devastated you, and you don't really relish releasing it to the public to jeer and laugh about. Yet, you have no choice, so you do it.

The woman is never heard from again.

After all, how could she have thought that she could pull this off?

Regards,

The person or persons she left with would likely be the best witnesses of her emotional state and she and they would be more likely to recall if she really was traumatized.

I still think the dems went through the high school rosters in that entire area, found someone they thought they could count on as being a comrade but they didn’t execute their plan very well and/or she just didn’t get her lines straight or possibly, they never thought it would go this far.

I mean how do they think they could pull this off?”

More likely, they thought others would come out of the woodwork, like they did for Cosby, Bill Clinton, and Weinstein.

Yes, but like so much of the serious investigative reporting, it will never be seen by more than a very small portion of the public and potential voters. The mass media propagandists are controlling the narrative and shaping the message to the great bulk of the public. This is a huge disadvantage to Conservatives on this and many issues.

SUPPOSEDLY, she had a bathing suit on, so it would seem that the house would have a pool!

Is there some reason that almost allegedly getting nailed by Kavenaugh was so unusually traumatic?

The unusual feeling of emptiness?   winking face

Bingo! Ed Whalen had a LOT of info on Garrett’s house, which I think would not have been available without his consent.

As soon as the first Republican on the committee decided to address this nonsense seriously, the pussy-hatters won. Ford will keep finding excuses to delay and impose impossible conditions. Before long Kavanaugh will be asked to withdraw. He’ll never get his reputation back, of course.

It’s hard to imagine anyone else worthwhile will be found to stand for nomination, knowing they will smeared with unanswerable allegations and eventually asked to withdraw.

SCOTUS will have to limp along without a full complement until when, and if, we get some Senators who aren’t invertebrates.

I hope Ford knows there will be a server waiting for her with notification of a big fat lawsuit.
