Ford was held out as the victim, so no one dared ask her a hardball question

Howie, the only way to get to the truth is to ask the hard questions, not worry about how it will look to constituents. Judge Kavanaugh answered over 1300 such questions, most of them coming from democrat senators that were against him before he was even named, later finding cause in some of his 300 rulings and dissents. Apparently, he supports the 2nd Amendment, has certain beliefs in presidential powers, and runs contrary to liberal litmus tests on other key issues. That they sat on the letter for weeks and never let him during private meetings or previous hearings until they let it loose publicly to do the most damage.
But what about Dr. Ford? She’s been treated with kid gloves throughout the process, most of the democrats not even asking her questions of substance other than if she would like an FBI investigation, their current delay tactic of choice. Contrary to the narrative the democrats are selling, every named witness has been investigated, those Dr Ford claims were present all indicating they remember no such party or event. Yet she’s held out as the victim so no one dares ask her a hardball question on even the most basic of background information. The best we saw during the hearings, and I watched every minute, was her declaration that she was terrified of flying being the reason she couldn’t make it sooner. Fair enough until she later admitted to being quite a jet-setting world traveler.
After a short time, it was clear that she had been heavily coached and when she started to stumble, she drew from her professional knowledge to throw in a bunch of pycho-babble mumbo jumbo about memory. None of the senators were versed in the field to dispute her answers and it is common knowledge that assault victims can have spotty memories but she couldn’t even remember answers to questions from that week or since she sent the letter. So how can anyone trust her answers to 36 year old events as anything close to credible? Internet sleuths are now claiming home had the second front door long before she claimed, that being important since it was the impetus for her couples counseling leading to her finally naming the judge as her attacker. Even if that were not the case, if the attack was such a motivator, why wasn’t the door added in a previous remodel or a condition for buying the house, so many other aspects not adding up.
For all the claims about her credibility due to the polygraph test, let me remind everyone that this is in her specialized field yet she acted like she’d never heard of the device before. And unlike such tests given to job applicants or for security clearances, she was asked two questions by an operator hired as a friendly, not a battery of questions designed to obtain the truth. Let the FBI question her for real and her professional expertise may not prove as helpful even if she beats it.
So the best case scenario is that she is being used as a puppet by democrats, the with held letter, the unapproved public release of said letter, Senator Feinstein hooking her up with lawyer that’s a close friend of George Soros, and so on. The worst case is that whether it happened or not, she has come to believe it regardless of there being absolutely no evidence or witnesses to corroborate her story. These are not mutually exclusive propositions and now that the senators used Dr. Ford to push the judge’s drinking angle, they may not need her further. But the claim that she had nothing to gain from coming forward is a lot of BS; aside from the million dollars or more in donations and her free legal services, she is being courted for a book at great financial benefit, the talk show circuit, the lecture circuit, and more prestigious universities. There is even some talk about other companies hiring her in some capacity so that claim falls faar short of reality.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Pete, very well put and I agree with every word you said. Unfortunately the damage has been done and the confirmation is now awaiting a one week-long FBI investigation and there’s no telling what that will come up with. Unless the FBI investigation is definitively favorable to Kavanaugh, I’m afraid his nomination is through circling the drain and gone down the sewer.
Who knows how Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins will vote? And there’s no certainty how fickle Flake will vote in the end. As much as I want to see Kavanaugh seated on the Supreme Court, I can’t put my money on that happening.
