I thought about this whole case again and I think I’m just coming to terms that we will really never know for sure. There are only 2 things that could change that for me those are:
1. Something in the therapist’s notes for Ford clearly dismiss her claim as false.
Well, her story in the therapist's notes is already different than her current story.
2. Mark Judge admits he lied before and says Kavanaugh indeed did what he did.
This would certainly do it.
No, some kind of date mistake in therapist’s notes will not be enough to dispel doubt just like a date confirmation of Mark Judge’s Safeway whereabouts will also not be enough. It also will not be enough to hear Mark Judge repeat his statement denying Kavanaugh’s involvement because of everything I have learned regarding him since.
Kavanaugh has the advantage in that we don't need any more evidence of any kind to presume his innocence. It's Ford's side that needs evidence.
1. He wasn't just a possible random spectator in the room. He was his close or even best friend in college. His loyalty lies to Kavanaugh. No matter what, that will still remain. Even under a threat of lying under oath to the FBI. The stakes are just too high because this would not only put Kavanaugh on blast, it would nullify anything Judge previously denied regarding Kavanaugh even regarding the third accuser.
On the other hand, Ford's friend's loyalty is to Ford, and we know how that worked out.
2. Judge saying Kavanaugh indeed did what Ford said would not only make Kavanaugh guilty, but would also make Judge to be an accomplice. It could possibly make him liable for any future criminal charges that might come his way. He definitely does NOT want that.
Agreed, same with Ford's friend.
3. For all the talk about Ford being some kind of a political pawn, a democrat shill, even though there is no evidence for it is really telling. I am not aware she wrote any articles regarding democratic political figures, not aware she wrote for any liberal blogs, not aware she has any political figure friends. She seems like she just lived her life as a college professor. On the other hand, Mark Judge has written articles for conservative publications such as The American Spectator and Liberty Magazine (which have conveniently disappeared since), he has written pro Breitbart opinions and mentioned Andrew Breitbart as someone he looks up to. Basically he not only has a personal, and self-preserving reasons to deem Kavanaugh as innocent, he also has a strong party bias regarding it. Of course, we all might have a party bias, but I just find it ridiculous that Ford was dragged through the mud as having a party bias when there is nothing really showing she does. However, Mark Judge did not get any of the bad press regarding his affiliations and ability to be honest. Although…….tick tock.
Ford was chanting and carrying a sign at an anti Trump march in 2017. Also, an accuser having political affiliations and one of HER key witnesses having political affiliations are two very different things. Judge never asked to be part of this.
And don’t even get me going on memory arguments where Ford is repeatedly questioned on hers yet Judge, a self-admited blakout drunk is completely believed without a doubt.
It doesn't matter if you believe him or not. He had to have a different story to help Ford in any way.
In any case, I think Kavanaugh’s achilles' heel will likely not be Ford or Judge, but himself. There is some pretty strong evidence he lied under oath multiple times regarding his statements on “boofing”, “Devil’s triangle”, yearbook editors and drinking. I think that is what might ultimately come back to haunt him and not necessarily during his confirmation process either.
I see no such evidence whatsoever.
