OK fair enough...she said there was a witness present in an attempt to make her seem credible. If she says it was just her and Kavanaugh, it's a total he said/she said. Witnesses provide validity to a story. Unfortunately for her, the two witnesses she has named have said it never happened. Also, it's not helpful that the story keeps changing.

Now, answer my questions please.

The first thing they teach you in law school is to call a witness that doesn't corroborate your story at all, and then say "The Defense rests your honor. We called a witness."

And that is the whole point. How have you not figured this out?

Because Anita Hill’s accusations regarded a time while CT was a government employee. Ford accusations are about a high school party that may or may not have happened at an unspecified time roughly 30 years ago.

he should at least have to put his denial on the record under oath - be at risk in case he's not telling the whole truth.

What would they ask him under oath to deny, since we are still waiting on the date and location of the alleged event?

You must have missed my answer so I'll post it again:

I'll bite:

Because naming a "witness" would appear to make her story more believable.

It probably took a cursory review of a yearbook or conversations with people who knew Kavanaugh in high school to figure out who he was friends with. Then you go through the names and find someone who doesn't appear to be very trustworthy and name him. Hope that he either hates Trump and wants to play along or will come across as untrustworthy and, at best, be neutral.

Liars usually provide more information than necessary, but since she couldn't pigeonhole herself on location, date, or any other concrete facts, she could provide a "witness".

The same reason the fbi won’t touch her allegation. Because an allegation is not evidence. She doesn’t get to send Congress and the fbi on snipe hunts every time she cooks up a new witness. She’s changed her story several times already.

Because it was Judge’s book that gave her the idea for the whole fabrication. It would have just felt wrong not to include him.

Mentioning Judge directs everyone’s attention to his book, and the anecdotes there in turn are supposed to lend credibility to her tall tale.

Why does her reasoning matter?

The witness said it NEVER HAPPENED.

As others have said, she puts two MALES on the spot in a he said she said involving a me too situation.

You progressives are so ate up by your sexism towards males that you would take her side no matter what. The inconsistencies that she spews or the lack of facts that she gives don’t matter. It’s a woman vs two males, and one is a Republican! Rabble rabble rabble!

Not to mention that they are both famous members of the same class which makes them both recognizable.

And as others have stated Judge’s book was supposed to give her story credence.

So this is the new DU-issued talking point? Good to know.

By whom? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him say it. I think he just lets everyone believe it. There are a lot of dumbasses in law school....but I still say there is no way he is a lawyer. So Tex. How bout it. You a lawyer or no?

Because Judge has written about partying in his younger days and they’ve been friends since high school, so it gives her story some modicum of a basis in the universe (otherwise would have zero) to try to tie her claim to Kav and to Judge’s stories.

And its the most illogical talking point I've ever read.

It borders on insane.

Think about it.

She named a witness so that must lend credibility to her claim.

It is IRRELEVANT that the witness she named says it never happened.

Think about how batshit crazy that is.

Let's put it this way:

You are a lawyer. Your client is on trial for murder. You call 5 witnesses. All 5 witnesses say your client murdered the person. You then argue to the jury that your client must be not guilty, or else why would they call 5 witnesses?

BLM: Cop shot a killed a black dude named Cricket!

Cop: Yeah. He threatened me.

BLM: No way. Cricket was on his way to college!

Cop: Well, his buddy Dookie Shoes was there, too

BLM: Oh...you named a witness. I guess you are correct. Have a nice day officer
