OFFICIAL: Kavanaugh Hearings Thread

[Remodeling Maidiac]

If Kavanaugh lies too much in his upcoming testimony today, he is history.

His only hope is to confess and apologize.

You are a complete tool of ignorance.

 

[JustAnotherNut]

So anyone know WHEN she hired Avenatti??

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

"I thought Brett was going to accidentally kill me."

What?

 

[deltex1]

At some point Trump the CEO will see he needs to withdraw Kavanaugh's nomination.

Rachel Maddow said his nomination was hurtling towards the sun. I wonder what that means?

It means she ate too much smelly fish last night...

 

[bodecea]

A job interview with witnesses testifying under oath against the candidate?

Nobody is buying that bullshit.

Absolutely it's a job interview......he's applying for a very very very very very important government job.

It is a job interview

We either hire him or we don’t. Kavenaugh does not need to be criminally convicted to decide he is not worth the chance

What a weasely rationale for character assissination.

This isn't just a job interview. This is judgement about Kavanaugh's character and his entire life. If this were a real issue, it should have come up before he was appointed to the 2nd Highest Court in the country. It wasn't because this is made up crap from a psychological mess.

It is a job interview and meets the same standards

If you applied for a job and a woman from your past cane forward and said you had tried to rape her.

Would you be hired?

B'loney.

Job interviews are not conducted in view of the entire country in the Senate Chambers.

You lose.

Job interviews for the Supreme Court can and do. You don't think it's important enough for us to all look in?

Yes. Very few people

Who were they?
Don't remember

You remember them turning the music up?
Yes.

Did they turn it down?
Don't remember.

If the music was so loud no one could hear you, then how did you hear them walking down the stairs and then talking to people before you left?
I don't understand the question.

Here is a map. Can you show me your house?
I don't remember my address

Did you talk to or see anyone after that party? No.

Well just my friend.

Actually I saw Mike too. And I remember he looked terrified and he knew what he had done.

When was this?
I don't remember

Ford: I got my driver's license at 15 and then drove myself to parties.

Prosecutor: wasn't the legal driving age 16?

Ford: yes.

Prosecutor: how did you get here. It has been reported that you are terrified of flying.

Ford: airplane. It took alot of courage to get on the airplane. I needed support from friends and family.

Prosecutor: how did you get here in August?

Plane.

You fly often?

I got to Delaware every year to see my family.

Your resume lists travel as a hobby. Is that true?

Yes.

Have you been to Costa Rica, Hawaii, French Polynesia, etc....

Yes.

How did you get there?

Airplane.

[I swear I did not make these next questions and answers up]
Did you want to come forward and be in the public?
No.

Then why did you contact WaPo?
Because people on the beach who don't know about things told me to.

Who advised you to contact your senator and WaPo?
Beach friends.
[]

Do you talk to the WaPo?
Yes. Under an encrypted app and off the record.

Did you talk to any member of congress or staff members about your allegations before the letter to Feinstein?
Yes. I met with staff and my congresswoman.

What did you talk about with them?
I described the incident and what my options were about how to get my story relayed forward.

Why did you take the polygraph?
I was advised to

By whom?
(lawyer interrupts and claims privilege)

Where did you take the polygraph?
An airport hotel conference room

Why there?
I was rushing from my grandmothers funnels to the airport.

Who paid for the polygraph?
I don't know.

Did you?
No.

Did anyone?
I don't know

TGINH...thank god its not hillary! she would have picked another Ruthless Bad Girl Ginnersbeg

they should be thanking god that trump picked such a moderate. trump should punish the con job dems by picking an extremist like Amy Coney Barrett!

At some point Trump the CEO will see he needs to withdraw Kavanaugh's nomination.

Rachel Maddow said his nomination was hurtling towards the sun. I wonder what that means?

What is being reported / revealed is like the sun - the Democrats want you to avert your eyes and NOT look at the facts because 'it will burn out your eyes'....DON'T LOOK!

 

[Avatar4321]

One thing I’m not seeing:

Anger

I could have missed it, but I don’t know anyone who has been sexually assaulted that wouldn’t be angry. And if they are afraid, they would be anger because fear leads to anger.

Did I miss it?

 

[JBvM]

People here have misrepresented what Ford has said, but we have transcripts

I had never told the details to anyone until May 2012, during a couples counseling session. The reason this came up in counseling is that my husband and I had completed an extensive remodel of our home, and I insisted on a second front door, an idea that he and others disagreed with and could not understand. In explaining why
I wanted to have a second front door, I described the assault in detail. I recall saying that the boy who assaulted me could someday be on the U.S. Supreme Court and spoke a bit about his background. My husband recalls that I named my attacker as Brett Kavanaugh.

 

[miketx]

how many things has she changed today? omg.

clarification


not unusual

WillHaftawaite Trump clarifies all of the time. Sometimes everyone around him is off script. Now that is how you spot a liar

This woman claims to be a victim with ptsd. She acts like she is. I live near a VA Hospital. See and speak with people like her all of the time, people with ptsd

Naw, she's just a well coached liar.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

If Kavanaugh lies too much in his upcoming testimony today, he is history.

His only hope is to confess and apologize.

Oh, sure. Just confess and apologize, and you will be confirmed.

No worries. Just admit it, Brett.

Oh well then, there you have it...very scientific!

Blumenthal is such a creepy hack.

Not as creepy as president Donald Groper of Pussies

Hey isn't that the guy who Trump called a rapist with absolutely no evidence of any rape?

Of course he remembers it. Democrats told him to.

 

[easyt65]

Haha, look at who suddenly gives the FBI credibility...just shut up, freak....

I never said everyone in the FBI was a criminal, dumbass. Nice attempt at a personal attack, but FAIL!

Rachel Maddow said his nomination was hurtling towards the sun. I wonder what that means?

I guess you could take that two ways.
Dean, my chance to view has been interrupted a lot. Are they done with Ford? Will the prosecutor sum up the point of all her questions, or did I miss that?

It's both, of course.
