Does the professor victim lady say if she partied with the Duke lacrosse team yet?

I was willing, at first, to take the charge seriously and listen to her testimony.  Now, my bullshit meter is in the red...
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Okay, she says that she wants the FBI to investigate before she testifies, so Trump throws down the gauntlet.  Pretty much daring her to testify on Monday.

ANd it looks like the R Senators agree with calling bullshit on her:

CNN is stretching ... And it still comes down to she says, they say no way:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/18/politics/pj-smyth-brett-kavanaugh/index.html

Quote
Patrick J. Smyth attended Georgetown Prep -- an all-boys school in North Bethesda, Maryland -- alongside Kavanaugh. Both men graduated in 1983. Smyth signed a letter this summer, before the allegations against Kavanaugh were made public, testifying that Kavanaugh "is singularly qualified to be an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court," along with dozen other of the school's alumni.

Eric Bruce, who is representing Smyth, authored a letter to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the committee. CNN has obtained a copy of the letter, which includes a quote from Smyth denying seeing any "improper conduct" from Kavanaugh.

"I understand that I have been identified by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as the person she remembers as 'PJ' who supposedly was present at the party she described in her statements to the Washington Post," Smyth says in his statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee. "I am issuing this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh."

Quote
Another friend and classmate of Kavanaugh's, Mark Judge, has been named as the other person who was in the room when the alleged incident took place. Judge has also denied the incident happened.

Quote
On Tuesday, Ford's attorneys argued in a letter to Grassley that the FBI should investigate the incident before senators hold a hearing on the allegations, which is scheduled for Monday.

Ford's attorney Lisa Banks said Tuesday on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" following the release of Ford's letter that Ford will talk with the committee but that she's not prepared for a hearing that soon.

"She will talk with the committee," Banks said. "She is not prepared to talk with them at a hearing on Monday. This just came out 48 hours ago."

No, this did NOT just come out 48 hours ago. This came out when Dr. Ford wrote a letter to Senator Feinstein in July.

There is nothing here for the FBI to investigate. Lady, you had your chance to report the [alleged] incident and have it investigated by the appropriate authorities 36 years go. You chose not to report it. Live with it.

How many actual, legitimate rapes have occurred in the past 36 years? Or been alleged? If the FBI investigates the current allegations, they will need to investigate them all. After that, they can start on all the murder and aggravated assault allegations.

Chuck Grassley's letter to Feinstein:

United States Senate

September 19, 2018

The Honorable Dianne Feinstein
Ranking Member, United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
331 Hart Senate Office Building

Dear Senator Feinstein:

So the accuser won't talk to the Senate, and the Judiciary Committee doesn't even have a copy of the letter. How are they still giving this the time of day?

Drop it. End it. Put Justice Kavanaugh on the Court already.


And this. This is just - it's just too much.  :facepalm:

If she won't testify before the Senate her *expletive deleted*ing interview with the Washington Post should be read into the record as her "testimony."

I'm now 100% convinced that this is an engineered desperation ploy by the Democrats to hold up the nomination until after the mid-terms.

She has said that she never told anyone about what happened, and that only Kavenaugh and this other guy were in the room. Just what in the *expletive deleted*ck would the FBI do to "investigate?"

If this was Obama's nomination, how would you view it?  I would view it the same and I think the majority of the American people would do so as well.  It stinks and the smell is getting worse.

A good article on that same track: https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/09/brett-kavanaugh-assault-allegations-evaluating-credibility/
and another refuting Prager's take that the truth doesn't matter:

A bit of background on Crissy Blasey …. long but interesting and there are pictures …   [popcorn]

Quote
CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD AND THE DRUNKEN WHITE PRIVILEGED RACIST PLAYGIRLS OF HOLTON-ARMS.

And it would be an accurate headline. That’s why the yearbooks have been scrubbed. They are a testament to the incredible power these girls had over their teachers, parents and the boys of Georgetown Prep, Landon and other schools in the area. In the pages below, you will see multiple photos and references to binge drinking and the accompanying joy of not being able to remember any of it.

A couple of (to me) interesting points from the link:

1) They are fast losing their liberal base on this. Cokie Roberts reporting.

2) Cokie makes an interesting point: Trump's twitter fingers have been surprisingly restrained here. Either he knows, or he has five people holding him down, that this is the time to let dems shoot themselves in their collective feet. His tweets so far, from what I have seen, have actually been pretty "presidential" and unbiased. I think that is making the White House look remarkably good here.

I'm pretty sure that I know one of the women pictured in that yearbook... Not 100% sure, but I know she went to Holton Arms at that time and that picture certainly looks like it could be her...

Good article on this from, of all sources, the New York Post:
https://nypost.com/2018/09/19/the-drive-to-sink-kavanaugh-is-liberal-totalitarianism/

Major point (IMHO):

Quote
But no. Senate Dems have settled on the ugliest means available, even by the standards of the body that added the verb “Borking” to our political vocabulary. The question is: Why have Republican high-court nominations brought out the worst from the left, going back to the Ronald Reagan era?

The short answer is that liberals fear their major cultural victories of the past half-century are democratically illegitimate. Not a single one was won at the ballot box, going back to the Supreme Court’s 1965 Griswold decision, which recognized a constitutional right to contraceptives. From abortion to gay marriage, plus a host of less titillating issues, modern liberalism has lived by the Court. And liberals fear their cause will die by the Court.

Speaking of touchers, if all this stuff is fair game, then goodbye Cory Booker, right? Because unlike Kavanaugh, Booker said he did it.
