There's an Entry on Kavanaugh's 1982 Calendar That Supports Dr. Ford's Story

July 1 in 1982 came on a Thursday -- before July 4 weekend -- and we have a party at a house, with beer (skis) being served. At that party are Mark Judge, PJ Smythe and Kavanaugh. In her testimony, Ford identified these people as being among those at the party in question

from Slate:

Much of Brett Kavanaugh’s testimony Tuesday focused on calendars he kept in the summer of 1982, where he detailed a few months that consisted mostly of hanging out with friends and sports camps and, Kavanaugh pointed out, few weekends spent in the Washington area as he traveled to the beach and other summer destinations. He insisted that his calendars proved he could not have been present at a gathering like the one described by accuser Christine Blasey Ford—a small group of friends drinking at a house when no parents were home.* Kavanaugh maintained that he recorded all his social engagements and that no entry on his calendar matches the vague outlines of the get-together Ford detailed. But one entry shows that he went “to Timmy’s for skis w/Judge, Tom, PJ, Bernie, Squi.”

Ford had identified Mark Judge as in the room while Kavanaugh allegedly assaulted her and said that “P.J.”—a man named Patrick Smyth—was elsewhere at the gathering. (Smyth denied to the Judiciary Committee being present at any such gathering.) Ford also noted that it appeared that Judge and Kavanaugh had been drinking beforehand and were far more intoxicated than the other people there.

In Thursday’s hearing, Kavanaugh was asked about the July 1 entry by Rachel Mitchell, the lawyer representing Republican senators, and replied, “It looks like we went over to Timmy’s” and identified the other boys who’d joined him. That was as far as that line of questioning went.

July 1 was a Thursday. Kavanaugh’s defense also relied on his insistence that the gathering could not have happened on a weeknight. “The event described by Dr. Ford presumably happened on a weekend because I believe everyone worked and had jobs in the summers,” he said. Kavanaugh later said his summer job in 1982 was mowing lawns. (“I had my own business of sorts.”)

1. Wasn't that the end of Mitchell's questioning gig?

[appal_jack]

8. Yes, they pulled her immediately afterwards. k&r, nt

[dchill]

9. She couldn't help being a prosecutor, could she?

Too close to the bone.

2. I can't believe that this isn't getting more attention

[ProfessorPlum]

4. I know, right?

Kavanaugh can't even produce an alibi without shooting himself in the foot. Such a party happened, K was there, and once again he was lying to Congress about it.

5. Now if we can show Mark Judge was working at Safeway around that time

we'd have even more confirmation

[ProfessorPlum]

3. wouldn't it be ironic if kavanaugh's alibi calendar

proved that such a party happened? Actually, I guess it did, and I guess it's ironic.

6. We also need to figure out who and where Timmy lived

Since this could be the house where it happened.

10. Kavanaugh gave Timmy's full name in testimony yesterday.

7. So freaking sad

No one cares.

And here's the worst part, do you know what the Reps summation of Ford was publicly? That she's crazy. They said it over and over again, that she just doesn't know who attacked her, basically implying she is damaged and not right in the head. It was sickening and I can't believe no one defended her from this.
