Eight big problems for Christine Blasey Ford's story

Christine Blasey Ford's allegations against Brett Kavanaugh are serious.

1) For starters, Ford still can't recall basic details of what she says was the most traumatic event in her life.

2) Ford concedes she told no one what happened to her at the time, not even her best friend or mother.

The committee took their sworn statements "Under penalty of perjury." "These witnesses directly contradict Professor Ford's allegations against Judge Kavanaugh," Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley advised Ford's attorneys last week.

In her original letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Ford claimed that Kavanaugh talked to Keyser and Smyth right after he assaulted 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.

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.

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.

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.
