1. For starters, Ford still can't recall basic details of what she says was the most traumatic event in her life. Not where the "assault" took place - she's not sure whose house it was, or even what street it was on. Nor when - she's not even sure of the year, let alone the day and month. ...
2. Ford concedes she told no one what happened to her at the time, not even her best friend or mother. That means she can rely on no contemporaneous witness to corroborate her story. ...
3. Worse, the four other people she identified as attending the party, including Kavanaugh, all deny knowledge of the gathering in question, including Leland Ingham Keyser, who she calls a "lifelong friend." ...
4. Her own immediate family doesn't appear to be backing her up, either. Her mother, father and two siblings are all conspicuously absent from a letter of support released by a dozen relatives, mostly on her husband's side of the family.
The letter attests to her honesty and integrity. "Why didn't her parents and brothers sign the letter?" a congressional source familiar with the investigation wondered.
5. This summer, Ford tried to reach out to old friends from high school and college to jog her memory. They couldn't help her. "I've been trying to forget this all my life, and now I'm supposed to remember every little detail," Ford complained to one friend in July, according to an account in The San Jose Mercury News.
You DAMN right you are supposed to remember every frickin' detail! YOU are making a public accusation that will destroy a man's life ... YOU need to substantiate your claims!
6. Yet she still pushed forward with her bombshell charge, contacting The Washington Post tip line and Democratic lawmakers, while hiring a Democratic activist lawyer. Ford is also a Democrat, as well as an anti-Trump marcher, raising questions about the motive and timing of the allegations along with their veracity.
7. Ford contends that notes her therapist took in 2012 corroborate her account. But they don't mention Kavanaugh.
They also point up inconsistencies in her story. For instance, her shrink noted that Ford told her there were "four boys" in the bedroom, not two as she now says. The notes also indicate Ford said she was in her "late teens" when she was assaulted. But Ford now says she may have been only 15.
8. In another inconsistency, Ford told The Washington Post she was upset when Trump won in 2016, because Kavanaugh was mentioned as a Supreme Court pick. But Kavanaugh wasn't added to Trump's list of possibles until November 2017, a full year later. ...
