Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford offers Senate four people who corroborate her assault claims

Source: USA Today

The attorneys for Christine Blasey Ford have sworn and signed declarations from four people who corroborate her claims of sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

In documents sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee and obtained by USA TODAY, Ford’s attorneys present declarations from Ford’s husband, Russell, and three friends who support the California college professor’s accusation that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed, groped her and attempted to pull off her clothes while both were high school students in 1982.

The declarations will be used by Ford’s attorneys during a committee hearing on Thursday that could determine the fate of Kavanaugh’s embattled nomination. He also faces a second accusation of sexual assault from Deborah Ramirez, who claims Kavanaugh exposed himself and pushed his genitals into her face at a drunken party during the 1983-84 academic year at Yale University.

Kavanaugh has flatly denied all accusations, including during a national television interview on Fox News Monday night.

which will also expose trump and the gop , and that they knew about kavanaugh all along and still promote his getting onto the court. Shows how little they respect they have for women , or anyone , and how little they respect the truth and justice, because they don't, its all about protecting themselves and giving putin a lot more power against all of us using trump. They're voting to further empower putin in this country by allowing him to get this position. It also is to undermine Robert Mueller , and prevent him from holding them all accountable for their crimes . Can't believe Senators from anywhere would do this to us all now, and if they do, they'll be hell to pay from this. They just think there's a blue wave against them now. Wait until they actually do this to us.

HEY EVERYBODY why can't we walk and chew gum at the same time? With everyone screaming about his "sexual assaults" there are no questions about his FINANCIAL MIRACLES. Why are they not asking about how he magically got rid of all his debt or how could he afford the house under his pay?

My answer to you is that the M$M controls the narrative, is complicit with Republicans. The reason we aren't talking about his gambling and shady financial dealings is because that isn't the narrative, it should be the narrative if the media were independent and nonpartisan.

This is why I support Michael Avenatti, he is capable of changing the narrative and I hope to God that his client comes forward today with credible Kavanaugh-damning evidence.

The hearing is a sham, 5 minutes per person to ask questions for a lifetime appointment. This would be crazy if it were Mother Theresa running for the SC.

If this is true, Kavanaugh should be all done.
