Be honest: Who of thought that Dr Ford was credible?
Be honest: Who of thought that Dr Ford was credible?
Added (1). Who of YOU?
Nobody
She seemed troubled and sympathetic, but also coached and politically manipulated. She was an obvious pawn to the democrats who used her in an unethical attempt to character assassinate a good man.
She was totally credible
I found Dr Ford highly credible. She always tried to be helpful and answer questions fully, and you could tell this was costing her emotionally. She met and exceeded all the prosecutorial criteria for a credible witness.
Meanwhile, Kavanaugh was combative, partisan, and flat-out lying about Renate. He also avoided answering many questions. The most damning avoidance was why he was not requesting an FBI check into these specific allegations. Really, Brett! If you're innocent, why not enlist the FBI in proving it?
At this point, I think Julie Swetnick also deserves to be heard. Last time there was a Supreme Court seat open, the republican majority was willing to wait over 1 full year to fill it. They have no excuse for rushing now.
*** update ***
In response to the claims that every conservative judge will face sexual assault claims, have you forgotten all about Neil Gorsuch? He has a similar background to Kavanaugh including same prep school, similar high status law school, similar clerking, etc. Gorsuch was appointed in an even more partisan atmosphere after the seat was kept open for 1 year, yet he faced no claims of sexual assault.
Not me.
Everyone on the left that already believed her, those on the right that did not, didn't change their minds. The hearings did not clear one thing up, did not sway anyone, did not prove a thing. It was a circus sideshow, should never have been happened without a shred of evidence, at least not have been made public like it was.
I know she's credible
Crickets…
- Why did Trump say of Dr. Ford: I thought her testimony was very compelling, looks like a very fine woman and was a very credible witness? I thought her testimony was very compelling, and she looks like a very fine woman to me. A very fine woman. It was incredible. It was an incredible moment, I think, in the history of our country. But certainly she was a very credible witness. She was very good in many respects. https://www.c-span.org/video/?452222-1/president-trump-reacts-calls-delaying-vote-kavanaugh-nomination
- If Ford really thought she was assaulted then why hasn't she contacted the Maryland police, they said last week they would investigate? If she did. Wouldn't that have but a crimp in Kavanaugh's confirmation to be the subject of a criminal investigation for sexual assault? Why hasn't she reported it to the police?
