Old_SD_Dude Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 The Yale Daily News has run an article profiling Kavanaugh’s frat at Yale. They were apparently pretty well-known for sexist antics and were later banned from the campus. Thay Haif Said: Quhat Say Thay?

Grassley asks for response by 5, then 10 Eastern. Without accepting by that time he schedules a vote for Monday. Deadline passes, Ford camp asks for another day to think about it. Grassley accedes and cancels the vote. None of the accepted requests seem beyond the pale. If we’re going to do this though, Judge should probably be compelled to testify under oath, too. He’s allegedly the only other person in the room, and the only third party who could corroborate testimony of either Kavanaugh or Ford. Do you know if there will be any witness called to testify?

Not that I’ve heard, though I believe they are conducting interviews with everyone they can. Under oath or not, it is a felony to lie to congress. We’re all sitting in the dugout.

NorCalCoug Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I’m sorry, but I find this whole “I have a story to tell but will only do so if x,y, and z demands are met” stuff to be incredibly obnoxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not surprised you feel that way. But if she really was a victim of a sexual assault the fact that she is very uncomfortable about the circumstances of her looming testimony is not surprising at all, particularly given the legacy of Anta Hill’s treatment and the fact that she’s moved out of her house due to death threats.

She wrote a letter outlining her allegations in July to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., but Feinstein did not mention them to other senators or federal investigators until last week. I also want to know who leaked the letter Ford sent to Feinstein. The leak forced Ford's hand. Shame on the leaker. It wasn't their decision, it was Fords. Yes I know, the alleged incident happened while they were both minor so I'm not sure the technicalities. For instance, if I go into my manager and allege abuse, then tell him I don't want him to say anything to anybody, he can't really do that. He has to immediately report through the proper channels and follow procedures after that. In some respects, DiFi I was in a place of responsibility, she should have done something about it right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've given it further thought and this occurred to me. By his own admission, Judge was once a raging alcoholic. Among the 12 Steps as I understand them involves a complete turnaround from the lying and deceptiveness that inevitably comes from such significant substance abuse. I've been trying to figure out why Judge would so abjectly "refuse" (the word that's been used) to testify before the committee. So I wonder whether the reason might be that he actually does recall a bedroom event with Kavanaugh and "Chrissie" and doesn't want to endanger his sobriety by having to disclose the "whole" truth of what he recalls. BTW, as I've implied, the perjury issue is now irrelevant as a crime since nobody is ever even tried for it anymore much less convicted of it. In my view, that's just another example of this country's morals no longer being what they once were or should be. Boom goes the dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpack1 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 At the end of the day, ultimately I ask will anything really change with the regards of the accusations? I don't see Ford changing her story, I don't see Kavanaugh changing his story. Both sides can present evidence but I don't see either side changing their story, the holes to the story could still be there but again will the hearing change anyone's view on the what might have happened? As a senator I think said, if you believe Ford vote against Kavanaugh if you believe Kavanaugh vote for him. You could show Ford to be a bold faced liar but at the end of the day does anything really change? People that are supporting her will continue to support her and go against Kavanaugh no matter what happens, people for Kavanaugh will continue to support him against Ford no matter what happens. And the thing with witnesses is that people forget things or sometimes their memory changes over time with events. That is why investigators usually want some evidence other than just people testifying even under oath. Perjury really, according to most prosecutors, is hard to prosecute because you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the person lied under oath. Misremembering, or can't remember exact details don't count under that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelawlorfaithful Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/22/politics/kavanaugh-ford-accuser-nomination/index.html CNN has learned that the committee has reached out to a longtime friend of Ford named Leland Ingham Keyser. "I understand that you have been identified as an individual who was in attendance at a party that occurred circa 1982 described in a recent Washington Post article," a committee staffer wrote Keyser earlier this week. On Saturday night, her lawyer, Howard Walsh, released a statement to CNN and the Senate Judiciary Committee. Simply put," Walsh said, "Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford." The lawyer acknowledged to CNN that Keyser is a lifelong friend of Ford's. We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

thelawlorfaithful Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Ford told the Washington Post there were four boys at the party, that her therapist’s notes were wrong describing an attack by four boys. The girl was said to be there when Katz gave a CNN interview. There should still be one more witness to go, right? We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch.

modestobulldog Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 She claims she wanted to remain anonymous, yet had time with Democrat links to clean up the internet, we know next to nothing about her. A talk show host was claiming websites that rank professors had been cleansed, apparently, students don't like her as a professor. She has ties to Soros funding. She has zero support or corroboration from her friends and acquaintances from the time, even from the ones she names. She wants K to testify first which is bullshit. Numerous inconsistencies. Can't name the place, the party, the approximate timeframe, and the few she names, can't even recollect the party / occasion. ONE BIG FAIL. The Bay Area media is reporting she has support from current campus staff, students, and acquaintances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
