The Feinstein Maneuver

In June 2018 Democrat Christine Blasely Ford wrote a letter to her Representative who passed it on to US Senator Diane Feinstein accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh of attacking her sexually at age 17 while in high school at a party in a home. 

She does not explain why she would accompany two boys into a bedroom at such a party.  She claims Mark Judge, a Kavanaugh classmate was present, but mentions no chaperones or girls she told of the incident.  These are serious inconsistencies the way these incidents happen in a story Mark Judge says never happened!

Such parties always have at least two adults, often a married couple and most often two married couples.  We just do not leave groups of young people unsupervised in a home having a party without adults present and we never allow them to drink alcohol at such parties.

The testimony of Mark Judge will be critical and given Mr. Kavanaugh's confident denials it is expected the Judge testimony will dash the Ford accusations.  Add the 65 ladies who signed a letter saying Mr. Kavanaugh showed no inclination to take advantage of women working with and under him for the last 36 years! 

Diane Feinstein signaled her doubt about the validity of the Ford accusation by holding it from early July to mid September, more than two months.  If valid she is duty bound to present it to her Judicial Committee immediately.  That she held it until the last week says she discounted it and the Democrats are now desperate.  This is obvious to Democrats and Deplorables alike.  It will have a significant effect on the mid-term elections. 

Mrs. Ford now says she told no one of the incident until 2012, when she was in couples therapy with her husband. The therapist’s notes, portions of which were provided by Ford and reviewed by The Washington Post, do not mention Kavanaugh’s name.  She reported she was attacked by students “from an elitist boys’ school.  The notes say four boys were involved, a discrepancy Ford claims was an error on the therapist’s part which is highly unlikely as therapists are highly trained and careful record keepers.

Mrs Ford shows a characteristic of many attack victims:  She embellishes the story as time passes.  In notes from an individual therapy session the following year when she was in treatment for long-term effects of the incident she now refers to as "a rape attempt in her late teens." 

In an interview her husband, Russell Ford, said that in 2012 sessions, she recounted the attack by two drunken boys. He said his wife cited Kavanaugh’s name and was concerned that he, then a federal judge, might be nominated to the Supreme Court!  Prescience or lies?

The White House sent The Washington Post a statement Kavanaugh issued when outlines of Ford’s account were published stating, “I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time.” 

There are many improbables, conflicts and missing elements in the Ford story:  The protagonist is a known Democrat Party activist. It is obvious this is a last ditch attempt to destroy, or at least slow the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh until after the mid-term election where the Democrats hope to not only recover the House, but the Senate.   

If they can slow or halt the Kavanaugh confirmation they can then put their own person in place. We can only hope this will ignite Republicans to get out and vote as mid-term turnouts are usually only 30% where Presidential elections pull 60% or more. 

This will probably turn out to be one more Democrat disaster in yet another Fienstein maneuver.
