Former Scalia Law Clark Drops Pictures and Evidence That Blows Christine Ford's Case Wide Open
2018-09-21
[GP] Is this a case of mistaken identity? Accuser Christine Blasey Ford is waging a war on Trump’s SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh with decades-old, unsubstantiated claims of sexual assault in an effort to derail his confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Judge Kavanaugh has categorically denied the allegations and even told Senator Orin Hatch he wasn’t at the party in question.

Ed Whelan, Justice Scalia’s former law clerk and president of conservative think tank the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC), came out in defense of Brett Kavanaugh and said compelling evidence will come out next week exonerating Kavanaugh.

On Thursday afternoon, Ed Whelan started dropping pictures and evidence that may blow Christine Ford’s case wide open.

The "Maryland suburban home"‐the scene of the alleged sexual assault described by Christine Ford to WaPo as being ’not too far from the Columbia Country Club’ may have belonged to Kavanaugh’s friend named Chris Garrett.

#12  If colonial justice ducked wood,
Which, to smoke out the wicked, it should,
All would burn but the fool,
For -- to float an old rule --
It's the perfect chuck over the good.

#11  Already in every day life any man is held hostage to any woman. A woman, in our colleges, in our work places, in most de-facto living arrangements can end a man’s career by saying that he hurt her/abused her/failed to listen when she said (whispered/muttered) that she was uncomfortable. Most of our institutions don’t pursue investigations. They get rid of the man because it’s easier.

#10  And, in any case, there are thousands similar cases waiting if they get away with this.

#9  I disagree Darth. You can't touch the masterminds, but you can intimidate their willing spear carriers.

#7  Heckler's Veto plus Lawfare plus Politics...
There are always unsolved homicides in major cities, so what happens when this escalates (and success will invite escalation)? ...Turning into Witch Trials where they must prove their innocence by dying by drowning?

#6  It's all Fox Mulder "I want to believe" territory. How appropriate, a conflicted fictional FBI agent...

#5  She claims she knew both and wouldn't confuse them. But that rings hollow given that she can't remember a date/place/etc. Honestly, I believe this is a political hit job. And if it can be proven to be a lie, she needs to go to jail along with all of her enablers.

#4  Christine Ford may simply be misremembering or she may have passively let herself be used as a leftist tool or maybe a bit of both.

However, based on her obvious limitations, she is not a 'mastermind' and her destruction, if it occurs and to the extent that it occurs, will likely be self inflicted.

#3  Thirteen? Are you going through the joys of bar mitzvah prep, g(r)omgoru? Mr. Wife was terribly impressed after seeing what trailing daughter #1 went through, concluding that the training explained the habit of Jewish success. Though he may have been influenced by the fact that in her speech td#1 did not compare the process to winning a baseball game, unlike one of the lads in her Hebrew school class. ;-).

#2  Let me state why I care.
(a) My son will be 13 tomorrow - I don't want him to grow into a World where a woman's say so is enough to destroy a man's life.
(b) Israeli social trends follow American ones.
So, fix it! Make an example of Christine Blasey Ford - something horrible enough to discourage this kind of sh*t for a long long time!

#1  Sounds like TV drama to me ===> even if true, nobody will believe it.
