No, The Alleged Attack On Ford Didn’t Happen At The July 1, 1982 Party, Says … Ford Team Member

Glad they waited until the eve of the cloture vote to make this clear, after a week of theorizing by chumps like me and days spent by the FBI interviewing people named on Kavanaugh’s calendar on that date.
Christine Blasey Ford would have ruled out a key date that both Republicans and Democrats have examined in evaluating her sexual assault claim against Brett Kavanaugh, had the FBI contacted her for its inquiry, according to a member of her team…
But a member of Fords team said the California-based professor who was not interviewed by the FBI for its inquiry would have told them that she never considered July 1 as a possible date, because of some of the people listed on his calendar who she knew well and would have remembered.
She would have also told the FBI that it was just a regular summer night for everyone else who was there, the member of Fords team added. There would have been no reason for them to remember it.
That’s exactly the point skeptics like me of the July 1 theory made in criticizing it. It was an intriguing possibility because two of the people whom Ford remembers as being present, Mark Judge and Patrick Smyth, were also listed on Kavanaugh’s calendar as attending the drink-up at Tim Gaudette’s home on July 1. Problem: Chris “Squi” Garrett was also listed, and Garrett is the boy whom Ford went out with for a spell. It’s almost impossible to believe she would have remembered a rando like Smyth being there but not someone like Garrett, whom she knew well.
Which raises anew the mystery of how Ford and Kavanaugh supposedly ended up at a party together, and not a big house party with dozens and dozens of people there either. Garrett was the link between Ford and Kavanaugh’s circle of friends. It’d be logical to assume that if she and Kavanaugh really did cross paths at a small party, it would have been because she accompanied Garrett there. If Ford herself is now saying that there’s no chance Garrett was present and therefore it couldn’t have happened on July 1, how did she and Leland Keyser end up at the party? Rachel Mitchell was interested during the hearing in trying to figure out how 15-year-old Ford got to and from the party, which was a good question, but a related one is what friends she and Kavanaugh had in common besides Garrett that might have brought them to the same place at the same time. Were there any? Remember, Keyser doesn’t recall ever even meeting Kavanaugh.
Exit question via Seth Mandel:
Does the answer depend on whether Deborah Ramirez also accused Kavanaugh of misconduct in this alternate universe? You can imagine him being outraged at multiple last-minute accusations, which reeks of a smear campaign; being boorishly outraged if it was just Ford, after she’d testified compellingly right before him, would have been harder to pull off. If he had been emotional in that scenario, it would have come off as disproportionate to what he’d been accused of. The entrance of Avenatti and Julie Swetnick’s outlandish accusations into this fiasco turned it into a circus and made Kavanaugh’s anger much more understandable. (Thanks, Avenatti!)
Mandel thinks the nomination would have been withdrawn if Kavanaugh had testified meekly, in a low-key way, after Ford. I highly doubt it: Trump never would have backed down and Kavanaugh himself would have justified hanging in there based on the fact that there’s zero corroborating evidence for Ford’s account. I do think the Senate would have voted him down, though. As it is, as I write this at 11 a.m. ET, it looks like he’s going to squeak through. In America 2018 anger is almost always your best political option.
Update: I tweaked the headline to clarify that this came from a “member of Ford’s team,” which I assume means one of her lawyers. (Who else would be on her “team”?) But since it’s not certain, I’ll use the vaguer term.

Something happened. Because the DC elite is so inbred, it’s not unimaginable that Dr. Ford replaced who it was in her memory when Kavanaugh was gaining recognition. I’m wondering if the boyfriend got aggressive beyond her intention, and her subconscious had to replace him with someone else, to shift all blame from her own actions. Just my crazy conspiracy hypotheses.

I thought showing the calendar was a set up. I hope they baited the trap with a doctored fake calendar and Fords team took the bait.The order of who testified first was a huge giveaway toward this.

Just my crazy conspiracy hypotheses. My crazy conspiracy hypotheses is that it was her father who abused her. We know she was a drunk early in life, had numerous (54?) sexual encounters in high school, and her family was nowhere to be seen at her testimony. Check her father.

That’s another possibility. We’re both saying it was someone she was close to, who betrayed her trust.

That’s because everyone at the July 1 party has said it never happened. She had to eliminate this date because it was already destroyed as a possibility.

Simple... she can’t name an exact date without fearing prosecution for perjury. Keeping it fluid makes it impossible to defend, and prosecute.

Also, Ford and Keyser supposedly went to this party together, and Ford basically just disappeared during it, but somehow Keyser doesn’t remember that? She doesn’t remember wondering where Ford had gone, trying to find her, and then asking her about it later — all of which are the only really logical reactions to her friend disappearing while at this small party.
Ford said she had only one beer. Were there DRUGS at this party she attended, too, which could have affected people’s memories?
One thing’s for sure: Ford’s explanation that Keyser doesn’t remember because it was an “unremarkable” party doesn’t add up.
From the Wall Street Journal story:
“In her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, Dr. Ford said she had never told Ms. Keyser about her assault. She didnt know about the event. She was downstairs during the event and I did not share it with her, Dr. Ford said.
“Dr. Ford also said she didnt expect that Ms. Keyser would remember the evening, calling it a very unremarkable party. She added: Leland has significant health challenges, and Im happy that shes focusing on herself and getting the health treatment that she needs, and she let me know that she needed her lawyer to take care of this for her, and she texted me right afterward with an apology and good wishes, and et cetera.”

Discussion of July 1, 1982 being the “date” was all over the internet. Presumably Ford’s “Team” would know this.
If Ford told her team: “The party/drunken groping could not have occurred in July 1”, why were her handlers incapable of sending a statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee. or Feinstein, or the WaPo? Multiple choice:
A. They are incredibly stupid and lacking in skills, like writing letters, emails, texts, or making phone calls.
B. Their current complaint is BS to fool the mentally challenged.
To: grania
If anything really did happen (not with Kavanaugh), based on everything said and published, I believe all it amounted to was two drunk or tipsy teenage guys horsing around and involving Ford in their antics. She has since exaggerated this to a sexual assault.

Well, they’re right. It didn’t happen on that date or any other date.
CBF would not have known the names written down on the calendar on Jul 1 before BK released the calendar the night prior to the hearing. (although the way Spartacus was going on about July 1, no doubt it was leaked a few days before that)
By her own written statement and her testimony, the party was about 6-8 weeks prior to her seeing MJ at the Safeway. She suggested that was mid August and was very insistent that employment records could be used to find out when MJ worked there. MJ did work there for a few weeks in August to get the money for Football Camp. She set the timeline so she can’t go further back into June and she can’t go forward into July or August. And, she can’t switch years either. She’s locked into ‘sophomore’.
She also can’t switch friends from Leland to McLean. McLean had already given a statement before encouraging Leland to lie.
Ford’s team can make all the stupid statements they want but there’s only two questions that Ford’s team needs to answer: who encouraged McLean to lean on Leland? and, where is the poly evidence, therapists’ notes and other evidence they said they had and have refused to produce?

I'm now beyond thinking anything at all happened to Dr. Fraud. I think she is a scheming, lying, Deranged Trump Hater who cooked up this stunt with her “Rehoboth Beach Lesbian Friends”.
