3 big questions hanging after Christine Blasey Ford's testimony on Brett Kavanaugh.
First, because Ford had waited 30-plus years to report the purported attack, a therapist's notes from Ford's sessions with her husband countered claims that Ford had invented the assault to derail Kavanaugh's confirmation.
The timing of the assault summarized by her therapist, whom Ford saw individually the following year, conflicted with Ford's current claims against Kavanaugh.
The final three contradictions are even more significant because in each circumstance Ford altered her story only after Kavanaugh and Senate investigators had obtained evidence to disprove her original tale.
The detailed description of the home interior Ford originally provided allowed investigators to compare her story to the layout of the homes of the individuals Ford identified.
Since media leaks of Ford's charges first broke, Kavanaugh and his supporters have stressed the impossibility of proving the negative: Kavanaugh could not prove he did not attack Ford.
Kavanaugh could prove that Ford's story could not possibly have happened by showing that none of the individuals at the supposed party lived in a house near the country club, and that none of their houses matched that described by Ford.
