Judge is in Kavanaugh's calendar as being at a party to drink "skis" with Kavanaugh, P.J. & other friends on July 1. That fits perfectly with the timeline and is written in Kavanaugh's own hand. There is a false rumor spreading that the Potomac Village Safeway didn't even exist then. The Safeway actually opened in 1968, 14 years before Judge worked there. From Judge's own memoir, "Wasted"

"This was never more evident to me than when, to raise money for football camp, I spent a few weeks at the local supermarket.

"My job was simple. People would leave their grocery baskets against a rail in front of the store, then pull their cars around. I would then sling their groceries in the store, sometimes get a small tip, then wait for the next car.

"It was a nightmare. Invariably I would be hungoveror [sic] still drunkwhen [sic] I got to work at seven in the morning, and I spent most of the first hour just trying to hold myself together. I had stopped eating breakfast a year earlier, so I didn't have to worry about trying to keep food down after a bender, but sometimes I was so toxic from the alcohol that I would have the dry heaves. Luckily the bathroom was a private room in the back of the store and I often managed to recuperate there unnoticed."

So much for the character and state of sobriety of Kavanaught's close drinking partner just weeks after the July 1 party. Any guess who was keeping Judge company getting blackout drunk with him. If Judge testifies he "doesn't remember" Kavanaugh acting like that, it's most likely because he can't remember what he had done when toxic drunk. Besides, "can't remember" is the perjury-proof way to answer a question without being caught in a lie. You don't say Yes or No, just "I can't remember." This was the way Nixon and his crew originally tried to phrase non-denial denials during Watergate.

I read the letter, which was anonymously submitted to Fox. It didn't have a word about Ford teaching a friend how to beat a polygraph. She was easing her friend's anxiety by explaining how it works (you can google that information anywhere) and advising her to relax and not be afraid of it. "[Ford]explained in detail what to expect, how polygraphs worked and helped [her] become familiar and less nervous about the exam, using her background in psychology." I was fluttered when I got my DHS security clearance, and I can tell you it is a daunting experience knowing that too much anxiety can produce false positives. I would give anybody worried about taking a polygraph examination precisely the same way. At any rate, she wasn't a psychologist when she took the polygraph, but a frightened 15-year-old girl. I fail to see how her later psychology education could have prepared her unless she took a time machine back to brief her younger self.

The only person who can seal the FBI's report is President Trump. He is the only one who gets the full copy and he can seal it, send it out to Congress, or reveal just selected cherry-picked reports. Why would all of the Dems demand an FBI report and all the GOP oppose it if it was the Dems who wanted to hide the results?

Perhaps you didn't notice that when prosecutor Rachel Williams began to ask Kavanaugh about an entry for Thursday, July 1, 1982, which listed a scheduled get-together with, among others Mark Judge and P.J. both of whom Ford had identified as being at the party, Senator Lindsay Graham intervened to give his famous rant. When he had run out of bile and spittle and they returned to the questioning, Williams was not allowed to follow up. In fact, she was never given a chance to ask a single question from there on. Seems that this fits Ford's timeline perfectly and even makes moot Kavanaugh's claim that he was away every weekend that summer. Thursday is NOT a weekend day last I checked. Good try, though. :cheers: :yack:
