CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 3, 2018
NBC NEWS HAS INTERVIEWED JULIE SWETNICK, THE WOMAN WHO CLAIMS BRETT KAVANAUGH WAS AMONG A GROUP OF MEN WHO GANG RAPED HER MORE THAN THREE DECADES AGO. KATE SNOW DID THE INTERVIEW AND AMONG OTHER THINGS SNOW SAID: “SO FAR WE’VE NOT FOUND ANYONE WHO REMEMBERS THAT. SHE’S ALSO UNLEAR ABOUT WHEN SHE FIRST DECIDED TO COME FORWARD.”
UNCLEAR ALSO DESCRIBES CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD, WHO CAN’T REMEMBER WHERE OR WHEN HER ALLEGED ATTACK OCCURRED. RACHEL MITCHELL, THE SEX CRIMES PROSECUTOR FROM ARIZONA HIRED BY REPUBLICANS TO QUESTION FORD, SENT A LETTTER TO REPUBLICAN SENATORS ON THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. IN IT, SHE POINTS TO NUMEROUS INCONSISTENCIES AND LACK OF CORROBORATION FOR FORD’S ACCOUNT OF HER ALLEGED ASSAULT. MITCHELL SAID NOT ONLY WOULD SHE NOT BRING A CRIMINMAL CASE BASED ON FORD’S ACCOUNT, SHE ALSO DOUBTS IT WOULD EVEN BE A WINNING CASE IN A CIVIL SUIT, WHERE THE STANDARDS OF PROOF ARE MUCH LOWER.
THIS WON’T BE ENOUGH FOR DEMOCRATS, OF COURSE, BECAUSE THEIR GOAL IS TO KEEP ANOTHER CONSTITUTIONALIST OFF THE COURT. LET’S HOPE IT’S ENOUGH FOR OUTGOING SENATOR JEFF FLAKE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DELAY AND SO-CALLED MODERATE SENATORS LIKE SUSAN COLLINS AND LIS MURKOWSKI. MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL PROMISES A VOTE BY FRIDAY. I’M CAL THOMAS
