Christine Ford made no good faith effort to determine where and when the alleged assault took place.
Ford testified she saw Mark Judge six to eight weeks after the alleged incident working at a Safeway. In his autobiography, Judge states he worked at a supermarket for few weeks to get money for football camp which started on the 23rd of August. Therefore, the alleged assault would have taken place in June 1982.
See how easy that was? Am I that smart?
Why didn’t Ford even bother to narrow it down to the month of June?
We can also eliminate June 1st through June 13th because Kavanaugh was at Beach Week and we can also eliminate the June 18th through June 25th because Kavanaugh was at basketball camp.
So the alleged assault could only have taken place June 13th through 17th or June 26th to the 30th.
Excellent straw man takedown. Didn’t actually respond to what I’ve been saying, but straw man takedowns have been par for the course for those who have consistently sided with a president who bragged about sexual assault and violating the consent of women and girls on multiple occasions.
The investigation could have easily delved into every aspect of both Ford and Kavanaugh’s testimony, but the Republican leaders chose to limit it. Which makes it reasonable to suspect they were not interested in seeing if either lied during their testimony.
When you accuse someone about an event you can’t place in time or location and none of your witnesses can back you up then there isn’t any starting point for an investigation. It was investigated as far as the evidence or lack thereof allowed.
Did Ford go on any family vacations or attend camps that would eliminate days the party could have taken place?
Did she go to church or participate in other activities that would eliminate Sundays as the party date?
Did Ford have a job or other activities or responsibilities that would not allow her to attend an impromptu party?
Was the pool at the country club indoors or outdoors? Was the pool shut down for maintenance so that she would not swim on certain days? Did the country club hold events which would have not allowed her to swim on certain days?
How many days of bad weather were there in the summer of 1982? Ford doesn’t mention rain in her testimony so any days where there were rain could eliminated as well.
Yes, I absolutely want to know Mark Judge’s dates of employment at the Safeway. This can dramatically narrow down the window in which the party could have occurred.
Unfortunately the Republicans in the Senate were not interested in answering questions like these. They cared much more about political concerns than about getting to the facts of the allegations and the testimony of Ford and Kavanaugh.
If you’re talking to me, I’m arguing that the Republicans were not interested in investigating all the different claims made by Ford and Kavanaugh, or else they would have investigated each one to ascertain the facts.
We can also eliminate July 1st through the Fifth because the July 4th holiday would certainly be a reference point that Ford would have had to have remembered as well as Kavanaugh went to the beach for the weekend with Squi. July 1st could not be the date either because Tobin lived far from the country club and Squi was in attendance. There’s no way that Ford would not have remembered Squi being there since they were in a brief relationship.
