And only two pictures. I bet if a little digging is done into the three names, something will be screwy about them.

That depends on if Ford sent the email/letter directly to Feinstein or if it was provided via Eshoo(sp?). I believe if she sent it directly to Feinstein then that would serve as her “statement of record” but I’m not sure how it is applied if the information was passed along from someone else.

I did a casual search. The most important allegation is the email from before the nomination. That guy’s a registered Democrat. It would have been very easy for them to include an email as an addendum. They didn’t. I suspect he may be “accidentally wrong” on the date. He’s not going to get prosecuted for putting down the wrong date on an email in a statement.

She's a professor with less of an online profile than the average master's graduate who was semi-involved in their degree program. I'm not even convinced she's real at this point.

She’s involved to the extent that she’s agreed to have her name used.

But she has not supplied an iota of testimony.

Hmm.
That would mean the WaPo interview was somehow faked, wouldn't put it past them but still.
And she and her husband agreed to subject themselves and children to the madness.

I'm open to it but it doesn't Occam my Razor.

So would the theory be dispelled if she shows?

Yeah, I’ve seen that line of thinking.

The operation has already abandoned Debbie Ramirez and Avenatti is done.

So we’re back to an Blasey. And no one will make a statement on the record. Avenatti’s client won’t show up. And Ramirez won’t put up.

It would have been very easy for Blasey to simply read her letter into the record as a sworn statement. It would have been a good 24 hour news cycle for the press as well. It didn’t happen and we’re less than 24 hours from her testimony.

Yeah, I think so. My reasoning is that the danger for her is making false/defamatory statements. If she’s not making any statements, she has no liability. As soon as she goes under oath, she has liability and I think I’ll be wrong.

Is my memory correct? In the Kav/Martha interview didn't Kav say he didn't know who she was?

Just another small bit of evidence would be shouted from the rooftops were it to support Ford, but is barely mentioned by many of the talking heads because it lack of support for Ford supports Kavanaugh.

If she sticks to only what she said in her letter and then answers every question with "I don't recall" there is no way she could ever tried for perjury because no one could prove it.

Even if she did "lend" her name for the allegations she has enough political motivation to move forward.

I expect her opening remarks to be a tearful re-telling of the horrible incident that has plagued her all of her adult life. And after that the dem senators will thank her for being so brave and coming forward with her story.

The republicans questions will be answered with "I don't recall"

Also, I saw somewhere on television that when a SCOTUS nom is up all kinds of crazy things get sent in. They have lawyers who immediately investigate and verify. It was said when this came before them in July it was a nothing burger. I think it as simple as DiFi getting pressure from dem billionaires that run the show to DO SOMETHING to stall, throw a wrench...

I don't think they thought the pubs would fight. I saw a prog talking point that 3 allegations cannot be ignored-so if they make up 3 they thought it would work...They knew there isn't time for a new SCOTUS candidate before midterms. They were for sure this BS would end Kav and they arrogantly think they are a shoe in majority in midterms and they can impeach Gorsuch, Trump, Pence, and install Pelosi.

Oh, another source of non-information, from the same article:
quote:

Christine Blasey Ford sent an unusual Facebook message to her best college friend this summer with a question: Had she ever mentioned a sexual assault that occurred when she was in high school? Her friend, Catherine Piwowarski, her onetime roommate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said she had no memory of that.

Best friend in college - Nope
Boyfriend of 8 years - Nope.

The text message from Christine Blasey Ford this summer worried her college best friend, Catherine Piwowarski.

Over their years of friendship — as roommates, bridesmaids and parents on opposite coasts — Dr. Blasey wanted to know, had she ever confided that she had been sexually assaulted in high school?

No, Ms. Piwowarski said she texted back, she would have remembered that, and was everything O.K.? Dr. Blasey didn’t want to speak in detail quite yet, her friend recalled her responding. “I don’t know why she was asking that or what it ultimately meant or didn’t mean,” Ms. Piwowarski said in an interview, but she remembers thinking that the question betrayed deep turmoil.

That was about a month before Dr. Blasey, a research psychologist, came forward with her allegation that Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, sexually assaulted her more than three decades ago when they were high school students in the Washington suburbs.
