During the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing, on Thursday September 27, 2018, Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford testified that she was sexually assaulted by two high school boys in 1982.
Under oath she named Judge Brett Kavanaugh as one of her attackers; who just so happens to be the nomination, put forth by President Trump for the opening on the Supreme Court.
According to the official record, Sen. Feinstein, the ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, received a letter from Dr. Ford, on July 30, 2018 stating her accusation against Judge Kavanaugh.
By August 7th, Dr. Ford had obtained a lawyer/s, one of which was recommended by Sen. Feinstein’s office. Both of her lawyers, representing her at said hearing, have admitted to doing everything pro bono.
Since there is not a real criminal case to win, it would be safe to assume that these lawyers are either working for free, or being paid by someone else.
Sen. Feinstein, met with the Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh later in the month, August 20th, but never mentioned the letter, or Dr. Ford. Her alleged reason being, that Dr. Ford wanted to stay anonymous.
Senator Feinstein sat on this bombshell accusation for 45 days. She never brought it up during the over 30 hours of committee hearings, or during the one on one interview that she conducted with President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee.
Judge Kavanaugh answered more written questions and turn over more documentation, than any other Supreme Court nominee in the history of America. He also met with over 60 senators privately, but still no one ever brought up these very serious accusations against him.
It took “someone” leaking to the media, just before the committee was planning to vote, for anyone, including Judge Kavanaugh to hear of these life altering claims.
Sen. Feinstein never brought forth this issue with any of the Republican members of the Committee or with the nominee, Judge Kavanaugh.
No one thought it to be better for the alleged victim, in order to remain anonymous that conducting a private investigation and questioning the Judge in a private setting would be the more proper way of proceeding.
Instead Dr Ford and her family as well as Judge Kavanaugh and his family, have been the subjects of a media circus, death threats, character assassinations, and public ridicule.
The official record states that the letter from Dr. Ford was only shared with Sen. Feinstein and Congresswoman Eshoo’s offices. So, somehow the media ended up with an article printed about the leaked letter, in which started this entire disaster.
The obvious real motivation for sitting on such a bombshell, was to only use it, if and when it was necessary. It could be the perfect way of delaying or even derailing the nomination.
Applying enough pressure on Judge Kavanaugh, so he would surly withdraw, and if that didn’t work, they would pile on the accusations and force President Trump to withdraw him.
It didn’t work. New plan. Demand FBI investigation.
Democrats depend on the American People not understanding what the functions are of the branches of government. Normal everyday people just don’t pay enough attention to politics and what our government processes are.
People hear FBI investigation and they think this is an official fact finding mission that will end with a conclusion. But that is not the job of the FBI. They don’t reach conclusions, but instead refer their findings to the White House and/or Senate. Then the Senate conducts their own investigations.
This is what the Senate has been doing since Brett Kavanaugh was nominated. They have been conducting their own investigations into Brett Kavanaugh’s life. He’s already had 6 FBI background checks.
That is what the Senate Judiciary Committee is suppose to do. They come to a conclusion and then vote whether to recommend to the Senate floor for a full vote.
If they want an investigation, then ask the questions. The investigation is happening now, so participate instead of grandstanding, virtue signaling, and trying to confuse the American People with the empty useless demands.
The Republicans need to put their foot down and demand this push forward.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted today, Sept. 28th, along party lines, to advance the nomination. However Senator Flake demanded that the floor vote be delayed for at least a week to conduct a redundant, useless FBI investigation, or else his Senate Floor Vote would be no. This is just more delaying tactics.
On the bright side, Judge Kavanaugh has made it through the committee vote.
The Democrats continue to fear monger their constituents, telling them outrageous things like people are going to die if Judge Kavanaugh is confirmed. No wonder there are so many people that are freaking out for reasons that aren’t even happening.
I was very captivated by Judge Kavanaugh’s opening remarks. He spoke for almost an hour. He was very genuine and you could tell that this whole ordeal has been extremely stressful on him and his family
He firmly stated how he denied all the allegations against him immediately and requested a hearing the same day. He wanted to have a hearing Monday September 24th, but the Democrats claimed that Dr. Blasey-Ford could not make it that soon, because of “her fear of flying.”
Judge Kavanaugh, laid out the facts, but without accusing his accuser of being a liar. He left the real villains in this to be the Senate democrats, in how they have been manipulating the situation in order to delay the vote.
He pointed to how long he’s had to live with these allegations over his head, and how his family has been suffering. He just wants to clear his name. They have received death threats, and the worst has been trying to explain this all to his two young daughters.
The Judge told a heart felt store, about praying with his girls, and his youngest daughter suggested that they pray for Dr. Blasey-Ford. He said that his family means no ill will toward his accuser, but reiterates his innocence.
Dr. Ford has named several witnesses in her official story, and none of which can corroborate the alleged allegations. They all deny that this party in question even happened. There is no actual evidence that this incident occurred. There is only her word against his.
Even Dr. Ford’s friend, whom of which was allegedly at this party, said that she didn’t know Brett Kavanaugh and had never attended a party with him there.
This 10 day delay between the time of the accusations being printed in the media and this hearing have been not only harmful to those involved and their families but also harmful to the country. It’s sowed so much division that we already have been dealing with since the 2016 election.
Judge Kavanaugh invited the committee to proceed with an investigation by the FBI or whatever they would like. He will cooperate and knows that it will only exonerate him.
He insists that he was not at the party described by Dr. Ford.
He accused the democrat leadership of being on a mission to search and destroy and to do anything to block his nomination as Sen. Chuck Schumer vowed to do only minutes after the nomination was announced.
The democrats have said that Judge Kavanaugh is evil and his supporters are complicit in that evil. They have called him their worst nightmare and said that he will threaten the lives of Americans for decades to come. So no wonder there were so many people making allegations against him to try and “blow him up and take him down.”
After all the confirmation hearings being a national embarrassment, when democrats couldn’t derail him they moved on to a new tactic. That’s why this was held secret and only used if it was needed and unleashed over Dr. Blasey-Ford’s wishes.
They were trying to pressure him to withdraw, with all the nonsense about gang rape violence, the fear mongering was a “calculated and orchestrated political hit job” with the help of millions of dollars from leftist specials interest groups and organizations,
But when all is said and done, the consequences will be with us for decades. As this event will deter really good people from wanting to serve in prestigious public service positions with fear that anything from their past, true or not can come back to haunt them, with just a mere accusation and no corroborating evidence.
These threats will never get this man to quit NEVER! He forcefully declared. He recapitulated the fact that he never sexually assaulted anyone, NEVER EVER.
Judge K. told a story of a close female friend of his, that has suffered from being sexually assaulted. She came to him in confidence. He was the only one she told and he helped her through it. This was one of the many times Judge Kavanaugh choked up and showed his true genuine character.
He believes in due process, because it’s the foundation of the rule of law.
Judge Kavanaugh, went on to describe his parents, in which he also choked up.
He said he remembered when his mom use to practice her closing arguments when he was a kid and how his dad use to keep calendars and often would sit and tell the stories from them. That is why he himself started keeping calendars, in the 9th grade.
What rings true and what rings false when there is no corroboration by the witnesses to the accusers testimony? The occurrence is refuted by everyone that was reputedly there, and nothing came out until just two days before the Committee was scheduled to vote.
He repeated again how he was innocent and he believes Christine Blasey-Ford, but he is not the man that did this to her, and intends no ill will toward her.
The Judge reminded the committee that he’s been investigated by the FBI 6 times over the course of his career. He as a very amazing resume and in all this time has never been accused of anything like this until now.
Some other key points that should be noted about Judge Kavanaugh’s Opening Statement:
- He went to an all boys Catholic school, and he did not hang out with anyone that went to Dr. Ford’s school.
- He denies ever going to such a party as described by his accusers
- No witnesses corroborate the accusations
- The place the alleged incident happened is no where near anywhere he and his friends hung out.
- He has detailed Calendars from 1982 that have not been altered since.
- Dr Ford’s friend that is allegedly a witness according to Ford says she doesn’t even know Judge Kavanaugh.
- He was out of town most weekends that summer and the few weekends he wasn’t he has an alibi written on calendars
- He had a summer job, owning a lawn care business, so that kept him very busy during the weeks, and he wasn’t partying
- He was busy with prepping for football camp
- He was out of town for 2 weeks during the mid summer of 1982
- He attend summer league basketball
- He did a lot of working out with his fellow athletes
- He admits to drinking beer, but not to the point of black outs
- He admits to REALLY liking beer just like many other Americans
- There is a BIG difference between liking beer and committing a sexual assault
- He says he’s not perfect and cringes at some things in his past, but never committed sexual assault
- His yearbook has been taken out of context and by implying otherwise is doing his female friend a great disservice (He choked up at the thought of his friend’s reputation being damaged over all of this.)
- That female friend and him never had any sort of sexual relationship or otherwise
- He says that he was a virgin in high school and many years after
- He tried to hide that fact but was inwardly proud
- 65 woman that knew Judge Kavanaugh in school came forward to note that he has treated them all with dignity and respect
- He was very grateful for his friends that did that and he says he loves them for it.
- One of these female friends said “I’m holding you in the light of God.”
- 84 woman that worked in the Bush White House wrote a letter to the committee in the Judge’s behalf.
- No other Court of Appeals Judge has promoted as many woman law clerks as him and if confirmed he will be the first Supreme Court Justice with all woman law clerks
- His reputation is ruined and will most likely never be able to coach girl’s basketball again.
- His life is now forever changed, but he is grateful to President Trump for the opportunity
- He requested that the Committee please be fair to him and treat him in the same way that they would want their Father, Brother or Son to be treated.
- He repeated yet again that he is an innocent man, but does not wish an ill will toward Dr. Blasey-Ford or her family.
Then the questioning started and they were still using the prosecuting attorney, which I just didn’t think worked very well. However once they moved on to the Senators, it was a bunch of the usual grandstanding and they treated the Judge terribly.
When all was said and done the sex-crimes prosecutor, that the the republicans hired told the wavering senators that the case would not hold up in a courtroom.
These are the other things that we learned during the questioning by Senators and the sex-crimes prosecutor:
- Senator Feinstein’s office already had recommended a lawyer to Dr. Ford two weeks before Sen. F. Met with Judge K. Privately but never brought up the allegations to him. DELAY TACTICS
- The democrats sat on these allegations against Judge K for 45 days
- It was clear that the democrats only wanted to delay by asking Judge K to demand an FBI investigation, when they are suppose to be conducting and investigation themselves
- By bringing up what is in Judge K’s yearbook and taking out of context the democrats were doing a grave injustice to his female friend, and tarnishing her name
- Mark Judge had a very terrible drinking problem and almost died because of it, then had Leukemia and Judge K. does not seem to want to drag the poor man through this mess.
- Mark Judge provided a written sworn statement instead of coming in person
- Mark Judge wrote and fiction book that used names from his youth but is FICTION
- DiFi fumbled around and seemed very unprepared for her first round. Lot’s of Ah, Uh, and long pauses. It was painful.
- Judge admits to drinking beer but not black outs ….again
- No waking up with different clothes or not knowing what happened to clothes. Definitely not.
- Judge K wanted to do a hearing the day the allegations came up in order to clear his name
- Judge K will do whatever the committee asks, implying that an FBI investigation is fine. (As he also stated in his opening remarks.)
- FBI doesn’t reach conclusions so it would be quite pointless, and redundant because the committee is doing the investigation as per their job responsibilities.
- All the Democrat Senators badgered Judge K about demanding an FBI investigation instead of asking him questions. If they really cared about the facts they would do their job and investigate.
- Jugde K was asked several times about his drinking habits and he reiterated that he likes beer, but wasn’t a black out drunk. No one has ever told him something he didn’t remember while he was drunk.
- There is a redacted portion of his statement that involves his college roommate, and it didn’t sound like they got along well. However it didn’t seem like that was Judge K’s fault. It seemed that it had something to do with his other roommate. It just wasn’t clear. What was clear, was that Judge K. did not want to bring more names into the media circus in order to protect these people, not because he was hiding something.
- Judge K has never been to a party like the one describe by the accuser Dr. Ford
- Judge K has never been in a room alone with Dr. Ford or with Dr. Ford and Mark Judge
- The calendars that Judge K provided to the Committee functioned as a diary and were all in his own handwriting that had not been altered since 1982
- 1978 Judge K.’s dad started keeping calendars, which is how he started, by emulating his father.
- Senator Leahy has been on the committee for over 30 years TERM LIMITS!!!!
- Judge K graduated number 1 in his high school class
- Judge K was the captain of the basketball team, played football and ran track
- Judge K attends church and has done so his whole life, “it’s like brushing his teeth.”
- Judge K tutored the mentally challenged and volunteered at soup kitchens
- There has never been a police report filed about Dr. Ford’s claims and still has not, even though there is no statute of limitations is Maryland
- Judge K. Has been interviewed by the committee privately about all the allegations that have come out against him.
- The nickname Ralph was given to him in high school in reference that Judge K. Has a very weak stomach not that he vomits from over drinking
- If you have this kind of sexual assault behavior in high school it would stay with you through out your life and there has never been any other accusations until now.
- Judge K has a dazzling academic record
- The alumnus comment in the yearbook does not infer what the media was insinuating
- The term devils triangle is a drinking game, like quarter bounce
- Not even the New York Times would print the other accusations made against Judge K. because they did not find that they were credible enough
- The Democrat Senators treated Judge K like he was a criminal
- Guilt by association is wrong
- Judge K did not learn of the accusations against him until he read them in the media
- The democrats did not ask Judge K about any of the allegations until the hearing on Thursday Sept. 27
- Judge K denies the allegation made by a former college alumni that says he was an aggressive drunk
- It was obvious that when Judge Kavanaugh was answering these questions, at times he was genuinely having a hard time keeping from crying.
- Democrats took a cheap shot by asking Judge K if he believes Anita Hill. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANY OF THIS?
- The Senate Committee is suppose to investigate and come to a conclusion, the FBI only investigates and turns it over to the White House and Judiciary Committee. So it is pointless to demand an FBI investigation. Did I already say that. Well it seems that it needs to be said again,… maybe 100 more times!
It was much harder to watch the testimony of Judge Kavanaugh than it was his accuser, Dr. Ford.
Even though I don’t want to conclude that Dr. Ford is a liar, I feel very strongly that Judge Kavanaugh is telling the truth. His testimony was very compelling and genuine.
But don’t take my world for it. It’s something you should definitely see for yourself.
I highly recommend that you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS THINK FOR YOURSELF.
