So Ford is throwing her friend under the bus and is calling her a liar.

Yes, she is.

Mark Judge already formally denied any memory or knowledge of the alleged incident in a written statement to Senate Judiciary. If that statement is false, he is already subject to felony criminal penalties of up to 5 years in prison.

How do you prove someone remembers something?

This may sound harsh... but.....

Grassley sounds like a doddering old fool there.  No control of this hearing .....

just like the previous Kavanaugh hearing.

Sad.

A couple of revelatory smirks by Ford when Blumenthal was grandstanding about having sworn witnesses who deny the events come testify.
Ford is laughing about this. Tells me a lot about her.

I noticed that as well.  Wipe the smirk off your face honey, your testimony didn't prove a darn thing and I still question your 'character' back then.

I'll bet anybody $$$ that Brett Kavanaugh is going to be confirmed.  And I haven't even heard the guy, yet.

If the Democrats are allowed to get away with this, this country will NEVER be the same again.  My eldest son who dislikes President Trump very much and never misses an opportunity to tell me.... called me twice today to say what a joke and travesty this was today.

(Of course, Sinkspur also texted me and said: "Kavanaugh is finished"     I was going 70mph and haven't responded yet ;) )

Sure, I would have had a professional investigation and sword testimony. Without which judge K is going down. He deserved better.

I think so to!  And the fact that Sink doesn't is a damned good sign IMHO! 


BTW:  It could well be that some disbarment proceedings are in some lawyers at this hearing today's future.

Here is the defense as far as I am concerned.

1. Ford claims that in addition to the Kavanaugh event, she has a genetic predisposition to PTSD and anxiety.  Her own testimony.

2. There is a body of science that shows people with a genetic predisposition toward PTSD are more likely to produce false memories.  Here is just one example, but there are many others:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5665161/

To quote from the research:

"Our review suggests that individuals with PTSD, a history of trauma, or depression are at risk for producing false memories...."

Given that there is zero corroborating evidence, it is entirely likely that Dr. Ford is experiencing a false memory based on some event that happened to her in her teenage years.  This is a more plausible explanation than the one that says Ford is telling the truth while four other witnesses are lying.

I would have been willing to give her the benefit of that doubt before today.  Now that I've seen her "in action".....hell no.   Her performance today has convinced me that she has been lying all along.  That parting smirk kind of cemented it.

Feinstein sat on allegation, but knew a great Democratic law firm for her, which then paid for a lie detector and had her scrub her social media. Nothing to see here...
