Without going through some serious self-serving mental gymnastics, it is not possible to believe that Kav was telling the truth and Ford is NOT a liar. If Kav is not lying (which all rational observers believe) then Ford is
a liar.
You may not want to say it out loud; it sounds harsh, but it is what it is.
While on the one hand, you could say that Kavanaugh was motivated to lie, ALL of the peripheral information points to someone who does not have any issues in this area. Youthful drinking, yes. Sexual predatory activity, no.
On the other hand, Ford's story is just toooooooo convenient. NONE of the details that could allow the accused to prove his innocence are missing. The timid little Waif voice of her testimony was preposterous and transparently phony. As a PhD college professor, she speaks in public all the time. Shyness just doesn't wash. She got ZERO support from her family - who could have at least attested to her undergoing some sort of traumatic experience that changed her. Didn't happen.
She was clearly a card-carrying member of the TDS Pussy Hat brigade, a fact that the Media conspicuously ignored.
She is a liar and part of a malicious conspiracy. I don't doubt that she wanted to torpedo Kavanaugh's nomination without public testimony, but that doesn't change the underlying picture.
