Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has pointed to his high school calendars as a key piece of evidence that proves he couldn’t possibly have attended the gathering where Christine Blasey Ford has accused him of sexually assaulting her. As the argument goes, if Kavanaugh didn’t put an event on his calendar, he simply wasn’t there. “If the party described by Dr. Ford happened in the summer of 1982 on a weekend night, my calendar shows all but definitively that I was not there,†he said during opening remarks at a Thursday hearing focused on sexual misconduct allegations against him. (He denies these allegations.)
The calendar doesn’t illustrate much except that he spent a lot of time hanging out with friends, Vox’s Tara Golshan writes. Upon closer analysis, however, one of the events detailed on it could possibly serve as evidence — not for him, but against him.
As the Washington Post notes, Arizona prosecutor Rachel Mitchell — the attorney who questioned both Ford and Kavanaugh — ended up highlighting an interesting connection between a July 1 entry in Kavanaugh’s calendar and the account that Ford has provided regarding the evening of her assault.
