Democrats plan at Thursday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to use the high school yearbooks of embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, which they say imply he and his prep school pals regularly got drunk and boasted of sexual conquests, to discredit what they call his “choir boy defense” against sex-assault charges leveled by Christine Blasey Ford.

But Ford, whose story suffers from significant gaps in her memory, wasn’t exactly a choir girl. In fact, congressional sources say her own yearbooks, among other things, present a potential issue for her and her character, and Republicans are prepared to cite them in questioning her story through the female sex-crimes expert they’ve hired.

A committee staffer told RealClearInvestigations, “We have her yearbooks,” which had been mysteriously scrubbed from the Web prior to Ford coming out with her allegations. “She will not make a good witness."

The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, noted that the annual class books feature a photo of an underage Ford attending at least one party, alongside a caption boasting of girls passing out from binge drinking. Her yearbooks also openly reference sexually promiscuous behavior by the girls, including targeting boys at Kavanaugh’s alma mater, Georgetown Prep, an all-boys school in the affluent Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. Ford attended neighboring Holton-Arms School, an all-girls academy.

While congressional sources say Ford's yearbooks could be an exhibit at the hearing, longtime Capitol Hill watchers caution that going after her reputation could backfire on Republicans.

That’s a minefield, especially given the #MeToo movement,” one said.

A spokesman for Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley’s office declined to comment.

Other evidence indicates Ford, a popular cheerleader at the time, was immersed in an alcohol-fueled party culture and no stranger to “keg parties” in the D.C. area — or the "bar scene" along the Maryland and Delaware coast. In fact, Ford was known as a "party girl” on the Delaware shore during summer breaks, another source with direct knowledge of the congressional investigation said.

One report, moreover, recounts how Ford once got caught in "a romantic triangle" at Dewey Beach that ended with the two men getting into a fistfight over her.

I've seen bits and pieces of the Holton Arms yearbooks that someone saved before they were scrubbed from the internet. Equal or even worse than Kavanaugh's yearbook. But, has the fate of a SC nomination devolved to this? Thanks, democrats

Contrary to the headline, I had nothing to do with her in high school!

Neither Ford's yearbook nor Judge Kavanaugh's has any bearing on this matter.  Really does not provide any evidence to support or refute either side.  I doubt in a court of law the yearbooks would be admissible.  It's much like the old days when a woman was raped and the rapist's counsel could introduce evidence showing the victim slept around -- in other words, she probably "asked for it."  That stuff isn't allowed anymore.  Shouldn't be allowed here either.  What should be considered here are any witnesses to the actual alleged assault and any real evidence to support the claim that an assault took place.  Seems to me Ms. Ford has neither.
