Written by mollie hemingway, very well-connected dc conservative, fox news regular

Some of the interesting claims
1) Dr. Ford was not who she appeared to be.
2) Despite intense media focus on kav's yearbook, Ford's own school yearbook had similar innuendo.
LINK
3) Melania Trump told Donald that she was sure Ford was lying. Melania became a key figure holding Trump in line during this saga
4) Bush, members of the Bush Family, and associates of the Bush family called the WH daily begging trump to pull Kavanaugh's nomination. They said it would be an impossible battle, and Bush 2 said that Kavanaugh had zero chance of getting key moderate senate votes.
5) WH obtained extensive amounts of Dirt on Blasey Ford
Conservatives I follow are all raving about this book, calling it a great work of journalism. I will be buying it.

Some of the interesting claims
1) Dr. Ford was not who she appeared to be.
quote:
In “Justice on Trial” authors Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino say unnamed peers accused Ford of drinking to excess and accosting boys with some regularity as a student at the Holton-Arms School, a contrast with press accounts that cast her as innocent and naive during that period. Ford accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her during a 1982 house party in suburban Maryland when they were high school students.
“Female classmates and friends at area schools recalled a heavy drinker who was much more aggressive with boys than they were,” Hemingway and Severino write of Ford. “‘If she only had one beer’ on the night of the alleged assault, a high school friend said, ‘then it must have been early in the evening.’ Her contemporaries all reported the same nickname for Ford, a riff on her maiden name and a sexual act.”
2) Despite intense media focus on kav's yearbook, Ford's own school yearbook had similar innuendo.
quote:
Holton-Arms yearbooks the authors obtained provide a contemporaneous narrative about the school’s social scene. Like Kavanaugh’s own yearbooks from Georgetown Preparatory School, the Holton-Arms annual is replete with sexual innuendo and explicit references to underaged binge drinking, among other debauched themes.
“The pages that follow contain references to ‘Playboy Bunnies’ and things that are ‘X-rated’ as well as pictures of beer and rum,” Hemingway and Severino write of the 1982 yearbook. “The same volume boasts a cavalcade of off-color jokes about ‘furburgers vs. Cheeseballs,’ ‘6 Caucasian females, one Caucasian male,’ and ‘Halloween-whores,’ as well as a lewd riff on the ‘tube snake boogie.'”

No wonder his Presidency was an utter failure and he left office in massive disgrace with his approval rating numbers deep straight down in the shitter. No wonder it was so easy for Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to make him their bitch for the last two years of his Presidency.
No wonder it was so easy for Trump to beat the hell out of Jeb so masterfully.
Thank god Trump is driving this weakness out of the GOP.

It's shite like this that is WHY the left does what it does.
I mean, why not? For a VERY long time, it fricking worked!

Not very loyal either. Isn't Kav tight with the Bushes?

Literally any GOP President but Trump would have cut bait and left Kavanaugh and his family to the media jackals.

Hey now.
43 absolutely sucked arse and deserves all the shite he gets but 41 was absolutely one of the best foreign policy Presidents ever and I truly believe that Trump is taking quite a few tips from him in modeling his own foreign policy which is perfectly balanced between bloodlust warmongering and reckless isolationism.

You think that matters to people like George H.W. Bush and his family? No one on Earth has more Deep State cred than daddy Bush.

I don't know how I can square this with the reports of Bush whipping up votes on the hill when it was time to vote.
IIRC, he actually called Susan Collins before the vote.

I'm in my early 30s, and the Kavanaugh confirmation is the most ballsy political act I've ever seen the GOP do in my lifetime. It is, at a minimum, equal to the Democrats passing the ACA knowing it would cost them the entire Blue Dog caucus and a Senate majority for years to come.

I assume when it became clear that Trump wasn't going to pull the nomination, Bush knew he would look better if Kav actually made it through.

It's exactly why the left wants "the good ole days of the Republican party" back. They know Rs typically fold like a lawn chair at the first sign of controversy

We all owe Trump a debt gratitude for putting a steak through the heart of the Bush dynasty.

The shite coming out about the Bush factions makes it clear that there is no way the republicans stand firm on this if anyone but Trump was president.
