If you disbelieve his response to those other issues, fine. Your prerogative. I am not going to argue those points. I will only state that my support of Justice Kavanaugh remains. I believe that the injustice of these accusations deserves to be defeated. I can live with putting a deep state Bush appointee on the SCOTUS if it means defeating those sorts of tactics. I can even live with accepting someone less than truthful(which I don't believe is the case but grant may be true) if it means defeating those sorts of tactics which attack our civil liberties.
Notice how your principled and serious concern with "innocent until proven guilty" disappears the second you need to call a sexual assault accuser a liar who is guilty of perjuring herself under oath at the direction of political handlers... a rather serious crime if it was true... and for which you have literally no evidence whatsoever.
Those are the "tactics" you are wringing your hands over here, yes?
Yeah, Remirez received serious witness prep per her account to the New Yorker. It took 6 days with her lawyer to determine it was Kavanaugh. Not shrink but lawyer. That's witness prep.
Swetnick's story is uncorgoborated. Her key witnesses are dead. We have no police reports and likely won't ever have one. Had there been one that linked Kavanaugh or anyone in his circle of friends to a crime, those previous 6 back ground checks would have uncovered it. Also, she gives the time period she was aware of Dr. Ford's accusations, the driving factor for her coming forward at 6 weeks prior to her interview. That puts her decision at the same time as Dr. Ford sending her letter to her congresswoman. That speaks to coordination. No, I don't believe either of these accusers.
If there was coordination, then this entire circus is a despicable farce.
