I would add to that maybe she genuinely believes she is telling the truth. Maybe the incident happened as described, maybe it was just a minor teenage tussle that her memory has exaggerated. Maybe she is combining 2 incidents people together etc. I do believe that something happened and quite possibly he was the involved. I also believe that this is being politically manipulated if not be her by others. Edited by Badger11 (29 Sep 2018 10.09am) This is the whole thing in a nutshell. He comes across as a bit off a wrong 'un, she comes across quite genuine, but there is absolutely no way you can be sure what happened all those years ago, and that doesn't necessarily imply anyone is lying - they may both genuinely believe their version of events. The tough part it's what you do about it : do you bar the guy from this job because he may have done something, or treat him as innocent until proven guilty, and that's what i don't know

"A wrong 'un"? The committee hearing deduced he got drunk at high school parties and joked with his friends about farting. Quote

So the mockery is on you. To speak with any certainty about any of this is plainly ridiculous.

Nobody has challenged the assertion. I would say beyond reasonable doubt. You did watch all of the questioning I assume? If there was any chance she had been drinking that would have been too big an opportunity for Kavanaugh to overlook. In any case please explain this clever mockery of which you speak Like I said, victim blaming. On a naive 15 year old girl. Deeply shameful. Edited by Mapletree (30 Sep 2018 7.47pm)
