How much evidence is required to destroy a person's life?
Christine Blasey Ford has accused Brett M. Kavanaugh of attempted rape while they were both in high school - a charge he unequivocally denies.
Quite the contrary, by all accounts other than Ford's, he treats women with respect in his personal and professional life.
The gathering included just Ford and four others, according to her confidential letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Another, who said he was the "PJ" mentioned in the letter, Patrick J. Smyth, has also denied being at a gathering like the one Ford described.
Feinstein, the Judiciary Committee's ranking Democrat, knew about Ford's accusation for about six weeks and did nothing.
Ford has also been ill-served by her lawyers, who initially stated that Ford "Will agree to participate in any proceedings that she's asked to participate in." Then, when Grassley canceled the vote on Kavanaugh's nomination and scheduled a hearing where she could testify in public or private, her lawyers started echoing Senate Democrats' new message that a full FBI investigation was needed before she would speak to the committee - undermining the perception of Ford's independence.
