According to USA TODAY:
Ford’s attorneys present declarations from Ford’s husband, Russell, and three friends who support the California college professor’s accusation that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, groped her and attempted to pull off her clothes while both were high school students in 1982.
[SNIP]
In her declaration, Adela Gildo-Mazzon said Ford told her about the alleged assault during a June 2013 meal at a restaurant in Mountain View, California, and contacted Ford’s attorneys on Sept. 16 to tell them Ford had confided in her five years ago. …
In another declaration, Keith Koegler said Ford revealed the alleged assault to him in 2016, when the two parents were watching their children play in a public place and discussing the “light” sentencing of Stanford University student Brock Turner. …
In another declaration, Rebecca White, a neighbor and friend of more than six years, said Ford revealed the alleged assault against her in 2017.

OK, here’s my take...
THAT’s NOT CORROBORATION.
It’s evidence that she TALKED ABOUT the allegations, but more than THREE DECADES LATER.
Actual corroboration would be much more CONTEMPORANEOUS.
But still, it would tend to establish that this didn’t come up recently through a memory-recall session with Democratic activists.
This doesn't corroborate anything!!!! No one but her has seen the assault!!!!!
I’m a woman. I just don’t get someone all of a sudden, after 30 years, getting all upset about a short groping attack 30 years before. Allegedly.
I could see talking about it, but being upset and shaken about it?
Aren’t there rumors she had an affair? Is this someone upset sexually?
She’s a liar. Her friends (democrat wackos) are liars.
It does point towards the 2012 brainwashing or “recovery” session with the therapist.
Ford’s Friends have neither.
she said it came up with memory recall in therapy in 2012
It's definitely not corroboration since they weren't there at the time it happened, or had knowledge of it at the time it allegedly occurred. All these are, are basically character witness statements.
Anytime a leftist claims something, it must be remembered that it is because they are mentally unbalanced in some way that they are lefties. Their perceptions are therefore generally worthless, and tend always toward the hysterical. The simplest, most innocuous event in a leftist’s life can trigger the most over the top, hyperbolic response from them. I see it every day, and I have no reason to believe that these claims against Judge Kavanaugh are any different.
This “corroboration” is EXACTLY like saying that you now have proof that you were abducted by aliens, because shortly after you “recovered” these memories via hypnotic regression you told some people about it. That’s about as absurd as it gets and is no proof at all.
It simply means she’s been politicized a long time. In those years Kavenaugh was on the DC Circuit, the 2d most influential court in the nation. He was writing against Obamacare, for priests for life, against gun control, etc.
He would have come to activist Ford’s attention. She could have been hatching this character assassination for some time.
Oh so she gets some guy to say they talked over lunch at restaurant back in June 2013. Like how would you remember the month, the restaurant and the year. Seriously? 5 years ago? My GF told me she had been molested by her step-father few years ago. It was on the phone- but I can’t tell you the month or year we talked.
