Christie Blasey Ford, the woman who is making accusations against Judge Kavanaugh, has announced through her legal team that there are four people who can back up her claims that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in 1982 at a high school party.
But that’s a huge stretch.

The story went viral overnight after USA Today tweeted a story which many liberal activists thought would automatically end Judge Kavanaugh’s chances of being on the Supreme Court:
#BREAKING Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford has four people who corroborate her sexual assault claims, documents sent to Senate show https://t.co/8t5iqdqPoC

The problem? These four people, who sent “sworn and signed declarations” were told of the assault after (not before!) the 2012 therapy sessions. And during those sessions about the assault from 35 years ago, Ford never said who the attacker was.
As the USA Today reports:
In her declaration, Adela Gildo-Mazzon said Ford told her about the alleged assault during a June 2013 meal at a restaurant in Mountain View, California, and contacted Ford’s attorneys on Sept. 16 to tell them Ford had confided in her five years ago.[…]
In another declaration, Keith Koegler said Ford revealed the alleged assault to him in 2016, when the two parents were watching their children play in a public place and discussing the “light” sentencing of Stanford University student Brock Turner.[…]
In another declaration, Rebecca White, a neighbor and friend of more than six years, said Ford revealed the alleged assault against her in 2017.[…]
In his declaration, Ford’s husband said he learned of his wife’s experience with sexual assault “around the time we got married” but that she didn’t share details until a couple’s therapy session in 2012.
See the problem here? As the New York Post’s Paul Sperry explains, this new revelation does not change the massive problems with Ford’s 35-year old allegations:
1) From Sperry: “Ford still can’t recall basic details of what she says was the most traumatic event in her life. Not where the “assault” took place — she’s not sure whose house it was, or even what street it was on. Nor when — she’s not even sure of the year, let alone the day and month.”

2) “Ford concedes she told no one what happened to her at the time, not even her best friend or mother,” Sperry reminds us.
3) “Ford contends that notes her therapist took in 2012 corroborate her account, but they don’t mention Kavanaugh,” Sperry opines.

4) As Sperry writes, “Her own immediate family doesn’t appear to be backing her up, either. Her mother, father and two siblings are all conspicuously absent from a letter of support released by a dozen relatives, mostly on her husband’s side of the family.”
5) And most recently, a glaring problem: “In another inconsistency, Ford told The Washington Post she was upset when Trump won in 2016 because Kavanaugh was mentioned as a Supreme Court pick. But Kavanaugh wasn’t added to Trump’s list of possibles until November 2017, a full year later.”

This is why Ford is being so hesitant to testify without extreme preconditions while hiding alleged evidence. Any lawyer would make her crumble under the most routine level of questioning. There’s hardly enough facts here for a police or FBI investigation, and her story would never stand up in a regular courtroom.
There has to be more evidence presented, or Republicans have no reason to delay Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

There’s one question that I’d like one of the GOP to ask her. Have you ever accused any other man or boy of rape or sexual assault? The answer to that question is YES. I believe that’s an important question because it would show a pattern of behavior. When I was 23, I was sexually assaulted by someone I had just met. I am also an abnormal psychologist, so I know about being a healer and a victim.
This would NEVER be upheld in a court of law and a judge would throw the case out. It’s he said, she said, with a shaky memory, no witnesses or collaborating evidence. Good God, there isn’t enough evidence to get a warrant, let alone go to trial. But, the point is the accusation really doesn’t need to be guilty or innocent, true or a lie, right? It’s about trashing, tarnishing and tainting a man’s legal and judicial record and reputation. It’s about questioning his honesty and integrity, which not one democrat possesses themselves. The democrats are trying to change the republican’s opinion and vote with them. I wonder if any senator would stand up to the same scrutiny or be under the same stress that this innocent man is being railroaded on filmy recollection with no physical evidence. It’s interesting that her parents and siblings aren’t there supporting her. That leaves a huge question mark.
Larry,
Out of your mouth to God’s ears.
Demon-c-RATS are evil, Socialists.
THEY want to change our Constitution as a “living” document…and, according
to Mr. Obama, accept Sharia…after all, he said that Muslims helped establish
our Constitution and AMERICA !!
ALL DEMOCRATS voted out !
President Trump 2020 MAGA GOD WILLING !
You people all realize there are just two simple things you can do about this, don’t you? One, take five minutes of your time and email your representative(s). Two, get out and vote in November and kick every one of those sleazy worthless corrupt democrats out on their ass. It’s that simple, people. Send them a very clear message we wont put up with their crap any longer, VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!!
…no doubt 4 fascistcrats…so four corrupt, indoctrinated, brainwashed anti-American slags…probably getting the biggest payday of their miserable, debauched lives…
imagine that it only took the lying coniving c@#$ a week to buy some cooberating witness’s, it is time to confirm kavanaugh and then seek legal recourse against ford. soros and fienstien, it is clearly a conspiracy to obstruct the senate judiciary commitee and the kavanaugh appointment, its time these radical terrorist liberals had the false sexual miscoduct accusations removed as a political tool from their tool box and time that people who claim false sexual misconduct and false hate crimes start spendng some tyime behind bars and are held liable for the damage that is done by these accusations. I just read where one of out military personel was accused of rape and the charges were false , he went to court and won $8.5 million dollar award, unfortunately the woman who falsely accused him can simply file bankruptcy and be out from under the judgement, but legislation should be written to make it a mandatory 10 yr sentence to falsely accuse someone of rape and the award if given should be exempt from bankruptcy proceedings and if someone claims a false hate crime they should be sentenced to 2 times the sentence that someone who actually committed a hate crime would recieve. this is a horribly destructive and unethical tool the liberal progressive terrorist party has been weilding and it is time to start holding people who use it responsible!
Tomorrow, Tawana Brawley is scheduled to come out with her recollections of how Kavanaugh attacked HER.
I knew that if the Dems looked hard enough, they would find someone who’s testimony they could buy.. The longer this goes on the worse it looks for liberals.. It is so obvious that they are trying to ruin a good man in an effort to control the Supreme Court..
I will not ever vote for another Democrat.. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO GO TO THE POLLS AND VOTE.. Vote your conscience and remember not to trust career politicians.. They are the ones who created this mess..
This is tota; BS!! Think Ford is mentally sick. Discussed this at a child’s game with a man?? Give me a break!! Is she still promiscus )sp)? Sorry but she is one sick person!
Why do all these sexual harassment cases come from California or the west? In court as I have said before hearsays don’t count! People signing a petition form people she knew years after the event do not count. What are they confirming? If no eye witness or other evidence then what is she going on? She has lied so much it is hard to know truth/untruth. Maybe an incident happen to her but it is something she does conceal for 35 years or when President Trump is elected and wanting to destroy him like all the others are trying to do. We are a people that love our nation and hopefully care for what our nation is becoming. We voted Trump in office because we didn’t like seeing what was happening to our nation and hoped and trusted he would help get us back on the right track. If she really had this experience then I would believe she would have spoken up a long time ago and not when she said she hates Trump and then thinks it is right to destroy our country of her hate for Trump. How selfish and self-centered can we be to try to destroy Kananaugh and his family. If these people are coming forward now it is because of the “liberal” rioters that think and know they can get by with it.
How is that possible, when she’s already SAID there were only FOUR other people at the party, and every one of THEM who have been named have DENIED any knowledge. So where did she MAGICALLY conjure up four MORE people to testify? That seems HIGHLY dubious, to say the least!
So many commenting who don’t understand that even if this really happened it’s a state matter and has nothing at all to do with the FBI. Before the hearing they should take ford and remind her of the penalties for perjury. Then it’s her choice whether to testify or not.
Kavanaugh should be confirmed and the FBI investigation can go ahead too. After all it is the truth we are after, no?
Too many unverified and uncorroborated stories and each more sensational than the one before it. I see a case of desperation.
She has more problems with making peoples names associated with her lies to help her prove her case. The only thing wrong is the people can’t do it. She really is a nut case and I just bet her husband would like for this to all go away. How much of what she is doing is he against.? She can get everyone in trouble with the law for making false statements of fraud. That will include her husband.
In one article I read Ford said that she needed medical treatment after the attack. I lived in Maryland many years ago and from what I remember, a person who by law was NOT an adult, needed a parent’s consent to have any kind of medial treatment preformed (which she never to my knowledge explained) what that treatment was). So I would think that her parents would remember their daughter being attacked and needing medical treatment and I also find it hard to believe that if her parents did knew about the attack, why didn’t they report it to the police. Why wouldn’t the hospital report it to the police? Now these witnesses come forward all of whom didn’t witness the attack but only her telling them about the attack. Now I by no means an authority on the law but I would think that a WITNESS would be someone who actually saw the attack or at least saw the injuries that resulted from that attack at the time of or at least within a very short time after the attack. I read an article about a woman being attacked while jogging, a man came to her aid and drove off the attacker. The woman was beaten badly and this man helped get her to a hospital. He gave his account to the incident and went back to his own life, but not for long. When the woman was well enough to talk to the police she gave a description of her attacker that matched the guy that helped her. If it were not for the skin from under her fingernails from when she scratched her attacker the good citizen would still be in jail.
I hope there are serious consequences ahead for Ford. Trying to ruin this mans reputation is nothing to feel proud about. To me based on her own testimony she is a liar, a liberal activist and just wants to ruin the Judge. Now so many woman are coming out of the woodwork claiming sexual this and that if they were true he would not have had time to study. Give it up Democrats. You people are nuts and nasty from Feinstein on down.
If these accusations are true, then the FBI is as useless as tits on a bull.
Recall memory is not a science it is considered the weakest link in psychiatry and its practice. Nothing yet has arisen to justify Ford’s allegations and she has a compelling motive to lie, she’s a DNC activist. No wonder Michelle Obama was caught on a hot mike the 10th commemorative of 9-11 at Ground Zero ceremonies when they played “Taps” and folded the flag All this fuss for a flag?” Her husband spoke over the moment of silence the next year but we should excuse him, he had something really important to talk about….himself. And the NFL Islamist league is still taking knees and the fake not investigative news missed or chose to ignore the importance of “Kap’s” wife’s relative’s in the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, named as a conspirator in the first attack on the WTC.
Anastasia: I don’t think Kavanaugh is destroyed. I think these people have shown their evil intentions and no one will be talking about it in a month…

I agree with you …. Ford is a typical lunatic liberal.. She really has a very bad insanity issue…. Cares NOTHING about who she destroys with her lies… The democRATS have ONE agenda and that is to destroy President Trump’s administration and thye don’t care who they destroy along the way… they don’t care that they hurt this good man’s name and his reputation… The demented democrats have already been saying he is guilty… this is extremely appalling..Since when is someone guilty and they have to proof themselves innocent of the insane accusations…. this is not the country I grew up in…. HEAVEN HELP THIS COUNTRY…THESE DEMENTED DEMOCRATS ARE TAKING US DOWN A VERY DANGEROUS PATH HERE… Their lies and their hate toward this man could get some lunatic wound up and Kavanaugh could get killed… God help us all….
These women will resume their lives, and live as happily as they did in the 36 year interim. On the other hand, Judge Kavanaugh has been destroyed. He has been destroyed if he withdraws from theprocess, or if he goes on with t he process. These accusations border on thepreposterous. You are not a gang raper at 17 years old, drugging women by spiking their drinks, and for the next 36 years, there is not a hint of scandal. That is literally impossible. And look at his calendar/diary. I have never seen more innocent sounding entries, entries which show good clean fun and many duties at a very young age. This has sickened me. I am sickened for this innocent man. They could have investigated Ford’s complaint, as they did every other complaint about a politician – i.e. privately. This is how it is done, but Feinstein withheld it, and made it a public spectacle. It is nothing short of monstrous.
Heck, I could make a statement that I now know she’s making these unproven, unfounded allegations. That’s about as much as these statements are worth…
It is time to confirm Mr. Kavanaugh, then deal with all the false accusations from the left.
