Rachel Mitchell: Dr. Ford does not offer consistent account of alleged assault

“The outside prosecutor who questioned Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser Dr. Christine Blase Ford has released her independent assessment.”

It’s not good news for the Democrats: 

  1. That Dr. Ford “has not offered a consistent account of when the alleged assault happened.”
  2. That Dr. Ford “has struggled to identify Judge Kavanaugh as the assailant by name.”
  3. That “when speaking with her husband, Dr. Ford changed her description of the incident to become less specific.”
  4. That “Dr. Ford has no memory of key details of the night in question – details that could help corroborate her account.”
  5. That “Dr. Ford’s Account of the Alleged Assault Has Not Been Corroborated by Anyone She Identified as Having Attended – Including Her Lifelong Friend.”
  6. That “Dr. Ford has not offered a consistent account of the alleged attack.”
  7. That her “account of who was at the party has been inconsistent.”
  8. That “Dr. Ford has struggled to recall important recent events relating to her allegations, and her testimony regarding recent events raises further questions about her memory.”
  9. That “Dr. Ford’s explanation of why she disclosed her allegations the way she did raises questions.”
  10. That “Dr. Ford’s description of the psychological impact of the event raises questions.”
  11. That “the activities of Congressional Democrats and Dr. Ford’s attorneys likely affected Dr. Ford’s account.”
