These are very DEFENSIVE statements for Ford. They do nothing to corroborate her allegation, and their only (weak) value to Ford is to help her refute any argument that she fabricated the story in 2018.
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.
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.
