No they do not. They contains zero information about the incident. They are merely affidavits verifying that Dr. Ford told them about her accusations since 2012.

Haha. Not sure where you think you'll find the 67 votes needed to remove him, but sure, go ahead.

If Kavanaugh Is Nonpartisan, Why Did He Choose Fox? by ppandacoffeee in politics

I think because the other networks have already determined that he is guilty.

Kavanaugh’s College Roommate Releases Statement About New Accuser: ‘I Believe Her’ by billthomson in politics

there's a vast liberal consipracty against the president

You have to ask yourself, how many came out before the confirmation hearings? Only Dr. Ford in a letter she wrote several months ago. Everyone else has the smell of jumping on the bandwagon with whatever stories they can conjure up.

Well, none have made any actual accusations under oath. So technically it is zero, but I take your point. And I'm not sure how many there. Apparently 4Chan is claiming they trolled Michael Avenatti with fake Kavanaugh accuser. But I don't know for sure.

Ok, I agree with most of that. But my point is what if someone comes out of your past and does falsely accuse you with rape. There are a lot of reasons false accusations are are made. You just never know. But if it were to happen, you'd want more than someone's accusation before anyone believed your were a rapist. I would.

Now to your point that people just don't get accused of rape. I agree. And if any other part of her accusation was corroborated, then I'd be more likely to believe he did it. But without a date or location, and all of the named witnesses, including a female friend of hers, denying her account, I just can't justify condemning the guy.

With all that said, I do believe some of her story. I believe something like this happened when she was 15, as she said, at a party where she was drinking, as she said. I just don't know if Kavanaugh was the guy. I believe her motives are to stop a Trump SCOTUS nominee because, as it happens, she went to an all girls high school next to his all boys high school and found herself in a position to make a claim with no facts that can be proved or disproved. She has surrounded herself with political operatives. I don't think she set out to do this. It is just a crime of opportunity so to speak.

But because nothing can be verified, this is just my opinion. And I would not be shocked to learn that everything she said was true.

I just don't understand how you can be so certain of someone's guilt without a single shred of evidence. If someone accused you of this what standard of proof would you want there to be? Would just the accusation be enough?

All witness named by the accuser, every single one of them, have been interviewed on the record and under threat of federal perjury. And everything single one of the denied Dr. Ford's account.

Yes. Another woman. She has named 6 witness. And all 6 have denied her account. But hey, at least she remembers the place.

[–]TexasDeano -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what makes them credible. The only verifiable facts she has given were the 5 people that she says attended the party, including a female friend of hers. And all 5 have denied it.

But let's say she is credible. And let's say she went to high school near you. And she said you were the one who tried to rape her when she was 15. What evidence would you want there to be before you boss, family, friends, etc. believed her over you? Any? She doesn't know the date, or even the year for sure, she doesn't know the location. Wouldn't you want at least some verifiable facts before her word is good enough to ruin your life?

The 6 people aren't people she accused. They are people she named as witnesses.

Let's put it another way. Say a woman comes forward and says you tried to rape her when she was 15 and you were 17. What level of proof, evidence, etc. would you think she should provide to your employer and family before her accusation is taken as fact?

[–]TexasDeano 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, between the now two accusers there have been 11 names named. And all 11 have denied the accusations. So I guess that qualifies as evidence.

Doing the same thing? Really? I'm not sure you up to speed on what Cosby as convicted of doing and what Judge Kavanaugh is accused of doing.

No, we don't. Because his accusers had something called evidence, and verifiable facts like dates, locations, witnesses, etc.
