    Dr. Ford told WaPo that Keyser was at the party.

    Me, an hour ago, one simple question: "Source?"

    Still not one. 

    Sigh. 

    As negotiations continued, Leland Keyser, a woman Ford told The Washington Post was present at the party where she alleges Kavanaugh assaulted her, came forward to say she “does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present,” according to an email her lawyer sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee, obtained by The Post.

    Are you arguing that people do not try to find witnesses to prove they weren't at a place they were accused of being? Have you heard of the word "alibi"?

    (Name the Senators, please.)

    Jesus you are dense.  Dr. Ford told WaPo that Keyser was at the party.  Seems that they omitted that detail in their original story.  She then enters negotiations with judiciary committee staffers, and dropped the same name. This is not that hard BT.

    Was it Ford's or Kavanaugh's side? What is the context in which Keyser's name was even offered? 

    Right.  Kavanaugh's team is offering up names of corroborating witnesses for a party that he claims no recollection of. Brilliant deductive reasoning there brain genius.

    You're taking the characterization by GOP leakers as gospel.  Yet even if we assume that to be accurate, you've said nothing inconsistent with my post.  As I said, it would be significant if she happened to recall things related to Dr. Ford's account.  That she doesn't, though, doesn't prove anything one way or the other.   Do you remember all of the guests at high school parties you were at where nothing unusual happened to you?   I sure don't. 

    I'm taking the characterization of Leland Keyser's attorney and the statement that she released. 

    Also in that article that I linked in last post, apparently there was an additional corroborating witness identified by Ford's team. Doesn't have any recollection of a party.

    In addition, Patrick J. Smyth issued a statement. "I understand that I have been identified by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as the person she remembers as 'PJ' who supposedly was present at the party she described in her statements to the Washington Post," Smyth said in his statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee. "I am issuing this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh."

     

    By my count I think that we've exhausted the four other people at the party in Ford's account.

    Which Senators, by name please, would currently vote "yes" on Kavanaugh but would vote "no" if Blasey said that she believes Ford? 

    Why won't you answer a question anastasis that is one step beyond word salad. Why! I'll give you a dollar.  

    What a joke.

    Here's the CNN article that discusses the Senate staffers reaching out to people who have been identified as individuals who attended the party in discussions between committee staffers and Ford's lawyers.  Maybe BT will be able to figure out who is offering names of people that could serve as corroborating witnesses to senate staffers https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/22/politics/kavanaugh-ford-accuser-nomination/index.html

    Source?

    Anything from Ford's side on that? You're just assuming this woman would know based on... what?

    While you're carrying so much GOP water, do you have time to name the Senators who would not vote to confirm? Will you answer the question if I say "please"? What if I give you a dollar?

    I read articles and stuff and try to pay attention. Which is why I don't have to ask others to name the swing votes in the Senate for me.

    No, my response is that she isn't a purported witness to the attempted rape, by Dr. Ford's account.   Which is why the linked article had to issue its own correction.   She is merely purported to have attended the party in question.   

    This is some gymnastics MJ, but you are not the only one engaging in them. The lady was reported, apparently by Dr. Ford's lawyers in talks with committee staff, as being a corroborating witness to Dr. Ford's account of the party. She is, according to her lawyer, a lifelong friend of Dr. Ford's.  She says she has no recollection of the party that Dr. Ford is describing, or any other where Kavanaugh was present.  If her statement reflected the opposite, Kavanaugh would be done.  

  8. Gods of football, we entreat thee. Do not be angry with us, nor remember our iniquities, but look down on us even now, since Thou art compassionate, and deliver us from our enemies. For Thou art our Gods, and we are Thy people; we are all the work of Thy hands, and we call on Thy name. OU sucks. Smite them.  Smite them hard so their sisters feel it.
