It is starting to look like this FBI investigation thing has allowed Republicans time to dig up dirt on Kavanaugh's accusers and it's working. Ford is likely going to be prosecuted for lying under oath because of the shenanigans of her stupid ass lawyers. Considering this might be a case of mistaken identity, that is extremely fucked up.
I see three possible scenarios.
1) She was sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh
2) She was sexually assaulted but it's a case of mistaken identity.
3) She fabricated a story.
In every possible scenario here, he lawyers completely fucked her on this. All it takes is one person that doesn't like you to discredit your story. Given how public this story is, there is bound to be more than a few people willing to discredit her. We know he ex-boyfriend of 6 years has already given statements and i'm sure old neighbors and colleagues will step forward as well. Normally all this would be done behind the scenes and these people would be interviewed without knowing all these additional details that are now public. When asked about flying, confined spaces and all that, they know how to answer if they want to discredit her. By the same token, friends can answer in a manner to help give her credibility. It's a fucking mess.
