Buckle Up! On The Eve Of His Conformation Kavanaugh Gets His Me Too Moment

Tom you can't stick your fingers in your ears, close your eyes and then say the claims are unsubstantiated. It is Republicans that are desperately trying to keep these claims from being substantiated. Both Ford and Ramirez have now said they want the FBI to investigate even though that means if they are lying they can be charged, they are both willing to take FBI administered polygraphs and they both want to call witnesses. It is Republicans that are saying no we don't need the FBI to investigate, no we don't want to hear from your witnesses, no we don't want to see your evidence, and no we aren't going subpoena Mark Judge (even though Don Diego thinks he is a star witness for Kavanaugh).  The third accuser is coming forward on Wednesday. She holds a government security clearance and has corroborating witnesses. 

Mark wtites: ". . . Don Diego thinks he [Mark Judge] is a star witness for Kavanaugh."

DonDiego has expressed no judgement as to whom might or might not be a star witness on any matter related to this political spectacle.

[Once again poor old DonDiego is annoyed by someone in an online discussion who finds it necessary to state what DonDiego thinks, . . . and thereby demonstrates that he does not know what DonDiego thinks.  DonDiego is capable of expressing or not expressing what he thinks.)  

"Christine Blasey Ford has claimed that four other people attended a small gathering at which she was allegedly assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh. Three of those people, PJ Smyth, Mark Judge, and Kavanaugh, have already denied any recollection of attending such a party. 

On Saturday night, Leland Ingham Keyser, a classmate of Ford's at the all-girls school Holton-Arms and her final witness, denied any recollection of attending a party with Brett Kavanaugh.

All of Ford's named witnesses of the party, both male and female, have now denied any recollection of attending such a party."

Hmm, . . . all 4 "witnesses" deny recollection of the subject party, . . . held on an unknown date in an unknown year in an unknown house in an unknown location.

DonDiego asks: "What conclusion, if any, could possibly be reached by an unbiased observer based upon these developments?"

Yes, Don what conclusion, if any, could possibly be reached by an unbiased observer based upon the fact that Republicans don't want Mark Judge, a person that you cited as exculpatory witnesses in the passage above, to testify under oath?   Do tell. 

Does it have to do with the Devil's Triangle or what happened on the FFFFFFFourth of July?

How can these people testify to an event that the accuser cannot remember when or where it happened?

The point of testifying under oath. Is to A. make sure they feel strongly enough to go on the record and risk perjury.  If they can honestly say I don't recall that event then that is what they say. B. You want to assess their creditability as a witness. Do they seem nervous? Is there a particular line of questioning they seem reluctant to answer? Do their answers sound credible? C. Even if they honestly don't recall the event in question, they can provide testimony as to how likely it was the event occurred. 

Some of the questions to Juge or Kavanaugh could be along the lines of.

Did you drink a lot in high school?

How often did you drink?

What was the 100 keg quest referenced in your high school yearbook?
Did you participate in that event?
Did you go to a lot of parties in high school?

Where you ever "blackout" drunk?

How often were you "blackout drunk?"
How would you define "blackout drunk?"
Have you ever passed out from drinking too much?

What is the Devil's Triangle and did you ever participate in one? Why was it mentioned in your high school yearbook?

What is the significance of the capital F's in this phrase FFFFFFFourth of July?. What do they stand for? 

How many women have accused you of sexual misconduct in public and/or in private?

What type of sexual misconduct did they accuse you of? 

Did you know Ms. Ford during High School?

Were you ever alone with her?

Did you see her at any of the parties you attended? 
Were you drinking at the time?
Is it possible you don't remember seeing her because you were "blackout drunk?"

How can you be sure you didn't attend a party she was at when at least one time you admit you were blackout drunk?

When did you first learn of the allegations made by Ms. Ford?
Were you aware of these allegations in High School?

Why did you tell a high school friend not to believe anything Ms. Ford said?

While attending parties did you ever see any female sexually abused?

Who did it?

What did you do?
Did you report it?

Were any females provided drugs and/or alcohol at these parties?

...And so on.  Do a variation of those for the college days. 

Back in the day, my favourite was when you knew they were lying about something. Ask them variations of the same question over and over again to get them on the record as lying in front of the Judge. Then after you have asked them as many times as the judge lets you get away with, pull out the proof they were lying.  A lot of times the proof isn't even dramatic. Witnesses are segregated so they can't listen to other Witnesses testify.  Ask the other witnesses the same questions beforehand and place them at the event in question.  Then when the guy or gal comes out that you want to nail, they look foolish in front of the Judge or Jury when their version of events is different than everyone else.

Update Oh, my, one of Kavanaugh's female supporters discovered that she was the butt of Kavanaugh's and his friend's jokes when his yearbook got released to the press. She was mentioned 14 times in the yearbook and referenced to in a way that was similar to the old town bicycle joke.  She is no longer saying nice things about Bart. 

Christine Ford's depiciton of the incident was on record 6 years ago.   ANd she has since passed a polygraph performed by the FBI.    

The Fox News theory is that she made all of this up six years ago in an effort to undermine the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh by President Trump 4 years before Trump was elected and six years before the nomination occurred.

What conclusion if any can be reached by an unbiased observer regarding the sanity of FOX News and its viewers?

His college roommate believes the second victim.

Video segment

Mark writes a very long post concluding that poor old DonDiego referred to Mark Judge as a witness.

Mark is incorrect.

DonDiego quoted a Weekly Standard article, an article which did refer to Mark Judge and others as witnesses.

In addressing the Weekly Standard article DonDiego enclosed the word "witnesses" in quotes thereby indicating explicitly that the term "witness" was a term employed by The Weekly Standard, not poor old DonDiego. 

It's all just people telling stories so far.  Oh, and now it's people telling stories about people telling stories.

"Telling a story" is pretty much the function of any witness in any hearing or trial.   Lots of people are in prison today based upon stories from witnesses.    Thats kinda how the Judicial system works.

Yes, and when you get a critical mass of people telling a very similar story of their encounters with the perp you get a pretty clear picture of what is going on. It seems to me Kavanaugh had a very bad drinking problem at one time in his life and when he drank he often sexually assault females. The sad thing is I think he is being truthful when he says he doesn't remember these encounters because he was as his buddy said blackout drunk.
