I bet none of these people would actually go under oath, if asked.
It is bizarre, and very close to the behavior which got Paul Manafort's bail revoked for witness tampering. Telling somebody a story, and then reinforcing the story, could be evidence of conspiracy, suborning perjury, or witness tampering.
None were witnesses. Most of the dates are after 2012. I read they were declarations. What is the legal difference between a declaration and affirmation?
Just my humble opinion, but I don’t think they anticipated that he’d make it this far. For Ford, her reputation is shot as a professor, and she’ll get some doctor’s note for early retirement (due to stress). In a year or two, the same doctor who helped her remember these fake memories....probably will dig up some memory of her and Bigfoot hanging out, or that she secretly dated David Hasselhoff in the 1990s.
Christine Blasey Ford’s Lawyers Submit 4 Statements Corroborating Her Assault Accusation
So?
So we are back to square one,did she happen to tell them when,where,and how she got there and how she got home and who else was there? That would hold more weight than more friends remembering when they were walking their dog
Funny how all these revelations came out after Kavanaugh was mentioned as a contender for a SCOTUS nomination, eh?
The closer we get to Thursday, the less it looks like she is going to testify.
Yes. That was my take on her submitting these “statements”. The left will say that she made every effort to prove her case.

Of the four, her husband (if he knew what was good for him) would do the oath thing. The rest? I agree with you.
I don't think she is all that upset about it. She knows her story is shaky, so she wants to avoid being asked questions about it. Saying she's fragile is a way of putting off testifying.
I do not know if she believes her story or not, but most likely politics played a role in her coming forward. Something happened to her with someone in some place at some time, and she's been brooding about it and convincing herself that it was Kavanaugh who attacked her. She may believe her story, but at some level she knows it has gaps and uncertainties.
Aren’t there rumors she had an affair? Is this someone upset sexually?
There are all kinds of rumors, most of them started by people who don't have any first-hand (or even second-hand) knowledge. She has some kind of problems - that may be why her own family isn't backing her up - but just what those problems are we don't know for sure.
yes, very weak - maybe proves she didn't concoct this AFTER he was nominated. However, she has failed to provide any evidence or witnesses that prove that they have ever even met, let alone attend a party together.
If this actually happened with Judge K there would be an enormous number of women stepping forward to legitimate this. These types of behaviors are not isolated one-offs
If a High school kid was going to risk having a small drinking party, why would he invite to girls he doesn’t know or never went to parties with before.This party never happened.
The statements corroborate her story, not the accusation.
They probably assured poor Dr. Ford that Kavanaugh would step down or Trump would withdraw his name from consideration, and it would never in a million years get this far.
Ford is ruined now as DEMONcrats scurry around trying to find other women to further their goal of destroying America.
“Keith Koegler said he wrote to Ford in a June 29 email, “I remember you telling me about him, but I don’t remember his name,” family friend Keith Koegler wrote to Ford in a June 29 email, according to his statement. “Do you mind telling me so I can read about him?”
“Brett Kavanaugh,” Ford responded by email, according to Koegler, her son’s baseball team coach.”
On first read this is a little damning. On second read wth? This happened in the time period between Kennedy retiring and Trump naming a nominee, and they knew Kavanaugh was on a short list. -This is nothing more than a smear job against a *potential* nominee at the time. Also think it’s odd that Koegler couldn’t remember the man who was her son’s baseball coach was the one Ford was accusing of sexual assault.
I am assuming she told them what she had remembered? Was it before 2012 when she spoke with her therapist? If not, how is it anymore reliable then the memory she shared at that time? That she told 4 people something she claims happened 36 years ago does not mean a. it happened as she remembers and b. that Kavanaugh was involved. I therefore would not consider such statements reliable.
Kavanaugh has offered evidence and answered under oath (I may be mistaken on this, but I know he is willing to do so.) to show he was not the person in question. He has had many people give affirmation of his reputation then and now. This latest ploy does not change anything and is an attempt to derail the procedure. Time to vote.
No, they submitted four statements of hearsay. Not one of those making statements had any personal knowledge of alleged incident.
