This Is CNN: Thumb Chris Cillizza Says It's "Walking a Very Dangerous Line" to Ask Kavanaugh's Accuser When and Where This Assault Is Supposed to Have Taken Place
Seared, seared into her memory.
But she doesn't remember where it happened, when it happened, or who else was there. And asking those questions is "very dangerous," says CNN's Special Thumb for Snowflake Advocacy.NEWS: Top Senate Republican raises sharp questions about the account of Judge Kavanaugh's accuser.
— Robert Costa (@costareports) September 18, 2018
“The problem is, Dr. Ford can’t remember when it was, where it was, or how it came to be,” Sen. John Cornyn (Texas) says. “There are some gaps there that need to be filled.”
Walking a VERY dangerous line here..... https://t.co/GTKVb1Q7XU
— Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) September 18, 2018
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of high-school-era sexual assault, has so far ignored repeated inquiries from the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Chuck Grassley told Hugh Hewitt Tuesday. Grassley announced Monday that the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold hearings on the woman’s accusations, which surfaced Sunday after Blasey Ford granted an interview to The Washington Post. The senator noted to Hewitt, however, that he had reached out to Ford and her attorney "three or four times" in the last 36 hours but has yet to receive any communication. "It kinda raises the question: Do they want to come to the public hearing or not?" he inquired.No, they don't. They want this accusation to be reported only by friendly media, with no one asking impertinent questions about when or where it is supposed to have happened. She will "testify" by lawyer and by media. Meanwhile, the plan calls for Kavanaugh to be hailed back in front of the committee to be grilled not just on this woman's (not under oath) claims but anything else they can think of to embarrass him, like if he's ever touched a woman's boob without getting strict verbal consent and how many times he's been drunk in his life.

Say this came to court, somehow. Her testimony and evidence leave enough probable doubt to drive a truck through. Especially given that her story's changed (3) times, the accusation came out of "recovered memory" (which is not admissible in court), and she needed five attempts to pass a polygraph (also not admissible in court).
There's a reason they want to make all these charges, but avoid any scrutiny. They know its bullshit.

What finished Hillary in 2016 was an unprecedented turnout of the men's vote for Trump in the general election. If Edselina Ford doesn't show on Monday, and Judge Kavanugh DOES appear, under oath, the fallout dropping in November will be awesome.

Per a Maddow tweet, Kamala Harris just send him detailed questions about a judge he clerked for who in 2017 was fired (I think) for sexual harassment - questions like: "Did he ever show you some of his porn collection."

The accused has the right to confront his/her accuser.
A person is innocent until proven guilty.
This chick can't get her story straight about how many people were at this party, when it happened, or whose house she was at.
And her name - maiden or married - appears NOWHERE on the faculty lists of the colleges where she claims to work.
I truly believe that she had visions of herself appearing on TV in front of cameras, single-handedly slaying the evil Trump agenda.

She was told essentially that her name wouldn't be used, she wouldn't have to testify, and just her coming forward to the Dems was enough to derail his nomination.
Well, no.
If anything is clear, it must be this: Justice Thomas set the tone for how to respond to this tripe. He remains the benchmark for how you handle an attempted character assassination. Most Republicans do it wrong, but it appears perhaps Kavanaugh has learned a thing or two from Justice Thomas.

That's all this is.
They expected a weak "I don't remember" type response.
That's something they could run with.
But he did more than deny it-- he said it could not possibly happened.
He's got proof-- and he ain't sharing-- they're now on the defensive (ignore the media spin, they are on the defensive now) and they're scared shitless cause they don't know what proof he has.
And if they show up, and he proves beyond a doubt she's lying (and she is) they won't be able to use this smear ever again.
That's the real fear...

So expect to see this same tact at the Senate Committee (she will show up, the mystery is all part of Democrats theater). The media is just seeding the field. Also, expect to see a friendly "interview" with the accuser over the weekend. It will be a "softball" interview, where they couch the easy questions as being sensitive to the accusations.
Grassley will rue the day he moved this hearing. Ti was all part of the Democrats coordinated strategy with the fraud accuser. They're playing chess and Grassley's playing, well,- does he even know what day it is?

Doesn't that put a burden on him, to prove it was false? If he can't prove it was false, and seriously, how could he given that he can't bring witnesses to time, place, or even people, all he's going to do is bring a case he's guaranteed to lose.

Personally though I'm not fond of destroying the accuser, that's what the Clinton team did to all his rape victims.

Mmm, no. He's already said the inicident did not happen. 'No comment' is too close to saying, 'Something happened but I don't want to talk about it.'
The questions are going to be extremely vague and point in one direction.Expect something along the lines of, "Have you ever gotten drunk at a party where there were women?"
And that's the beginning of series of stupider and more accusatory questions.
He probably won't but he should turn each of the questions on to the Senator asking them. "I've never been a big drinker so I wouldn't know what it's like to be drunk. Perhaps, Senator, you can tell us what it's like."
The question should be treated ridicule and contempt that they deserve.

Normally I would agree. But I think until some bogus accuser gets destroyed, we're going to have to deal with kind of shit.
Think of what the Reds are doing: they're seriously raising the ante on any prospective conservative nominee. Get nominated, and get dragged through the mud, get smeared, risk having your life destroyed, all through dirty tricks.
The least we should do is destroy any accuser whose accusations do not hold up, to raise the ante on potential spurious accusers.

America is made up of 3 boxes:
The soap box
The ballot box
The ammo box
The Left and the Press have ruined the soap box. Any lie, any time, no need for evidence any more.
The ballot box is attacked, with non-citizens allowed to vote in 19 states because of Motor Voter laws encourage it and no gov't official has checked for citizenship.
So look at what remains. Just don't be surprised at what happens.

1. Delay. A bit of a hail mary, but maybe they win in the midterms. If they can delay that long, why not?
2. Provide cover for Democrats to vote No.
Anything the accuser does to weaken an already criminally weak accusation harms (2) for sure. And probably harms (1) in the sense that the more ridiculous this accusation looks, the more likely it is to hurt in the midterms.

This thing is starting to gain a new level of stink. Like people know something big about the accuser and her scheme, and they are waiting fotreh other show to drop.
There is a reason Feinfink held on to this. Part of that reason may be to see if it came out, or some DNC linked scheme was uncovered. Just like the so-called Russian dossier. There is also a reason she is not willing to testify thus far. There is also a reason the Democrats are calling for an FBI investigation they know will never happen.

Nothing matters as long as Flake is a no vote. Grassley can't call the vote if the count is against them. If they can't get Kavanaugh out of committee then the rest of the Senate can't vote on him.
So it really doesn't matter what happened in 1982 or if this professor testifies. Its how much leverage does the GOP have over Flake. I'm somewhat optimistic based on how they got him to play ball on the tax cut fight although he did his little "Look at meee!" stunt then also.

And people just get an impression that it's "credible". Well, you shouldn't think your impression that it's credible--what do you KNOW about Kavanaugh, after all?--is binding on anybody else.
There is just as much indication that it's not credible. It certainly doesn't seem credible. After all the proponents are saying nonsense like talking about investigating what was likely un un-chaperoned party 36 years ago--when the "witness" can't get any more specific than a county and a year!
The idea that this can be *investigated*--when affirmed Russian Agent Carter Page eluded the FIB right under the FIB's nose (arguendo)--seems far-fetched. We shouldn't heed the claims of being "reasonable" from people caught directly in the act of not being *reasonable*.

Absolutely. I should have made that clear. I don't want to go into her past except insofar as it may be relevant. For example, if she has previously made similar allegations that proved unfounded, or there are other matters that go to her credibility (e.g., mental health problems). I think that that's fair game, because it bears on this issue.

I loved John Kennedy's statement to John Dean that he ultimately did the right thing, but only after he was "cornered like a rat." That was beautiful.

And you shouldn't get to wait 36 years before first asserting the charges.
The senate needs to adopt a new rule for confirmation hearings: "We will not consider any allegations against the nominee that are more than 10 years old, unless the alleged crime was a serious felony and the accuser can provide either a contemporaneous police report, or photographic or video evidence of the crime, in which the nominee is clearly identifiable as the perpetrator."
No more of this "He did something awful to me 20 or 30 or 40 years ago, and I can't remember where exactly, and I can't remember when exactly, and I'm fuzzy on most of the details, and there is nobody else who can confirm my version of events, but trust me, he did it and it should disqualify him from ever holding this office. And the fact that I'm a crazed hyper-partisan opponent of the nominee has nothing to do with any of this!"

President Trump's release of the Deep State's secret coup plans and the phony Smear Campaign against Bret Kavanaugh seem like two different things. But its not about the sex and its not about the secrets.
In the case of the Deep State Dossier, Democrats (and Uni-Party Republicans) don't accept the Constitutional Right of the People to freely choose their own president.
In the case of the Kavanaugh Dossier, they don't want a Justice who will honor the Constitution.
But they're really about the same thing: the Left's refusal to live under the Constitution we all agreed to.

Right. It's at least plausible that a random drunk high school boy got grabby, far less plausible that a random drunk high school boy got murderous. Especially one who's been a straight arrow like Kavanaugh in his entire subsequent life.

If there isn't a steep price to be paid for these shenanigans,
they'll continue unabated. The people behind these false accusers are
untouchable. You have to make it painful as possible for the false
accusers, who will be far less likely to play these games if there are
terrible consequences for themselves and their families.

Grassley can't call the vote if the count is against them. If they can't
get Kavanaugh out of committee then the rest of the Senate can't vote
on him.
So it really doesn't matter what happened in 1982 or if this
professor testifies. Its how much leverage does the GOP have over Flake.
I'm somewhat optimistic based on how they got him to play ball on the
tax cut fight although he did his little "Look at meee!" stunt then
also.
Worst case scenario Trump just waits until after the election and a more amenable Senator is put on the committee.

Anita Hill was totally different and even though she was lying, her case was stronger because she knew Thomas and had worked with him. They spoke and had interactions with each other--so it COULD have happened, even though the pubic hair was too fantastical a detail.
In my view Thomas had a much tougher case to disprove.

It's aliens. People who are the subject of something, don't construct such weird ways of relating a direct experience. They just don't.
If they were trunks--that easy a girl can get a guy out of his pants+underwear/trunks in a single move. But one pieces...under shirts or whatever, under jeans or shorts? "He was pulling off my pants" would be much more credible. What rapist starts by trying to pull off your inmost level of garment (except like the pants+underwear combination mentioned.)?
It just doesn't even make sense.

My guess is the Thomas story was largely accurate, but welcomed by the woman in question until he finally rejected her for his wife and the woman scorned and all that.

Nah, I think the bulk of their reason for supporting abortion is to destroy the evidence. These are people who have no hope or future, no purpose or meaning in life, so sex is their only escape from how empty and hollow they know they are and feel every day. Sex of any kind, with anything.
Abortion is key to that lifestyle, to destroy the evidence of their actions and prevent anyone from knowing about that 11 year old they knocked up. The money is a nice side bonus that they worked out.
I do think if Planned Parenthood was defunded that the Dems would seriously suffer though. Its a huge earner for the family, as it were.

I watched the entire hearing. Her story was destroyed by the evidence. It was very similar because the accusations came from no where at the last second. Thomas's was more involved but at least the facts allowed him to prove she was lying. Kavanagh doesn't have that opportunity since she is not providing information that he can contradict.

I think what drives the party to keep is so central to the party platform really is the money.
The parties are driven by what fills their coffers. Gun rights are a great financial motivator for the Republican Party, so it keeps that up. The difference is that the biggest source of funding for pro-gun stuff is an organization that relies entirely on member dues. As opposed to abortion who's organization relies almost exclusively on federal funds.
If PP isn't boosting candidates here and there, then other organizations that fund campaigns will get more attention from candidates and elected Democrats.
Money wins.
Cut off PP, and abortion falls.

_____________
At the time, I thought the pubic hair thing could have been true. If there was a curly hair stuck to the top of her Coke can and Thomas happened to be standing near her desk and saw it, he might have said something about it, as a kind of joke. Anybody who has worked in an office knows people say stupid shit like that all the time. People used to just shrug it off, instead of screaming "sexual harassment!"
Most of the stuff Hill testified to was stupid stuff like that. Even if Thomas did it, who cares? It was nothing, and Hill obviously thought the same at the time, because she kept following Thomas to other jobs and asking him for favors and references and shit.

To me ,Rush and others comparing this to Thomas--Anita Hill are doing
Kavanaugh a disservice. This charge is totally without merit because the
accuser is not even providing details. Also, Kavanaugh came right out
and refuted it.
Anita Hill was totally different and even though she was lying, her
case was stronger because she knew Thomas and had worked with him. They
spoke and had interactions with each other--so it COULD have happened,
even though the pubic hair was too fantastical a detail.
In my view Thomas had a much tougher case to disprove.
Posted by: JoeF. at September 18, 2018 02:41 PM (NFEMn)
Maybe, but how many people today were adults in 1991? The majority of the voting public has no idea what happened, other than what the pro-Anita propaganda machine has generated. Anita Hill, the Original Lying Skank, is considered a hero by many on the Left to this day.
So this is actually a way to get out what happened instead of the false story generated by the Democrat Press Machine.
Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at September 18, 2018 02:54 PM (UsCnO)
Yeah, that part was plausible to me. I think Thomas crossed the line but not to the point of harassment -- and given her behavior (following him from job to job and volunteering for him) she was not exactly opposed to it, either.
She turned on him when he finally rejected her and she felt scorned. She became angry with him for sticking with the wife and saw an opportunity to make him suffer.

He then had to register as a sex offender for the REST of his life. And, he got thrown into jail a few times for failure to register. We had to point out to the local cops that he'd had a misdemeanor charge. My husband talked to the prosecutor. She said, if she'd known what it would do to his life, they wouldn't have prosecuted it. He could have had it removed from his record, if he'd had the money to pay for an attorney to do that.
If they allow this smear to go through, they will use it to call Kavanaugh a sex offender, for the rest of his life.

Statutes of limitations are not some cruel injustice, they're based on
the fact that after a certain time, memories fade, evidence is forever
lost, people die and cannot be contacted, etc. Basically there's no
chance of ever getting justice past a certain point, so the case is
dropped.
And in this ridiculous lying allegation, what she's accusing them of
isn't even illegal. Its crude and obnoxious and immoral, but not
illegal.

Now, if she won't testify, that's a different story.
Even after Anita Hill, who had charges that happened in adulthood, Thomas was still confirmed.
I just keep reminding myself that this is the Dems delay tactic. That they planned this. Ford may be the one who got skittish.

Why not? They've already said "one sexual abuser on the court should be enough". Which implicates Clarence Thomas in a 27 year-old charge against his character.

Be precise, if she does not accept the Monday invite under oath by Wednesday night,.... then vote on Thursday. Point out that she has had three months to prepare this godawful mess; put up or shutup. Any delay past Monday, vote on Tuesday.
If she does show up ask her how she felt when DiFi sat on her complaint and didn't bring it up in committee. Ask her how many polygraphs she took and how many she passed?

The response should be to have the vote on thursday no matter what happens. He's just trying to give Dems enough rope but the problem is that the Dems control the media, so whatever their lies, hypocrisy, and stupidity, the bulk of the public will never hear about it.
