So a former FBI agent tried to prod a possible witness who claims she is not a witness?

 

Is Monica McLean friends with Strzok and Page?

I wonder if/when it comes out she was lying, will they prosecute her

I guess, as you have alluded, Dr. Ford must be telling the truth and she must be believed without question regardless of what it does to someone else's life.  

For the past couple of weeks hearing people say she must be believed has sickened me. A few members have said they have been victims of assault and that's really sad but I have been on the other side because I was the accused. An unhinged wife with an extremely violent temper got so annoyed when I left her that she made the accusation against me. Despite numerous visits to a&e the courts believed my ex wife and for a while I lost access to my kids. 

 

A few years later my ex put my kids in to foster care without my knowledge and I fought hard against a system that favoured the woman. I never managed to get my kids out of a corrupt system and it wasn't until my youngest was 15 that I told my kids the truth about the beatings I took. I am very lucky that for the past few years I have been able to restore my relationship with my kids. Their mother showed her true colours and doesn't even bother seeing my kids, but hey I got an apology from social workers after 10 years when they finally acknowledged I was the victim.

 

So no I don't believe any accuser should just be believed based on an unsubstantiated claim  There are two sides to every story and everyone is entitled to an unbiased fair hearing. The democrats are a bunch of snakes and from a newcomer to this wonderful country I can put my hand on my heart and say I will never vote for them as long as they continue this current path they are on. They are not a party of unity, they seem to favour separation.

Bravo.  Good post. Sorry for what you endured 

 

Men get falsely accused on a frequent basis, in fact my divorce lawyer (in the past) told me many times the allegations of verbal or physical abuse are used as bargaining tools in a divorce, and its a fairly routine thing. My ex alleged such in divorce proceedings.  She was Bipolar and at times  raged out of control with no memory of her actions. She even came at me with a butcher knife one time, yet my name got  falsely dragged thru the mud. 

 

My best friends wife, who is also one of my best friends, was in fact in a marriage in which she was physically abused. It made her very mad, knowing what a thoughtful, sweet guy I am, and having witnessed her rage, that she would allege such grossly false allegations.  She very forcily pointed this out to her after the proceedings were over, and pointed out how false allegations hurt the cause of women that were really abused.

Thank you, and also sorry for what you have gone through. 

 

It was strange when I had my interview at the embassy and they handed out paperwork about spousal abuse and asked that I read it before seeing the final officer. When I talked with the officer he asked if I had read it and undestood my rights. I thought how refreshing and forward thinking that the immigration process would have something like this within. Unfortunately now that I am here in the current climate I feel I would be less protected. Luckily I found a wonderful woman who in 14 years being together 10 of those married I don't expect to ever have need to avail of those services.

I was lucky I think in this whole regard with my x-wife and our children together. She did try the whole DV claim against me one time when we got into a argument. I was arrested and put in jail for 48 hours before I could see a judge who then gave me bail of $100 which I promptly paid. The charges were ultimately dismissed and I didn't think nothing of it then until I moved back to the USA and filed for custody of our two children. She tried to use that against me at first saying that "I was a violent person and I shouldn't have the kids", at least she tried until HER family got into it and put a brake on that whole #######. I luckily was able to get "temporary custody" due to unforeseen circumstance but that "temporary custody" has lasted for 5 years now with no end in sight. 

 

The one thing that really gets me about this whole thing is that I know it has cost me at least 2 jobs with the US BOP. When you come in there for a interview they pull your WHOLE credit report and criminal/traffic record. They pulled mine and it shows 2 exact same charges in the exact same place just 2 days a part. I was able to get the record showing that one charge was dismissed but the clerk of court has no record of the other charge and will not write a paper about it either. So my move from CA back to NC was put on hold for 2 years because of that whole #######.

I bet you a steak dinner... no.

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

So reading this page, it is clear to me that men are sometimes the victims too.  I have never been arrested for abuse, buy my ex threatened me with it when I was in the military, because she knew that in that instance, you ARE guilty until proven innocent, and it would have ruined my career near the very end.  Thankfully, she never did.

 

Had a friend go to jail because his wife went crazy one night, and was beating HIM, and a neighbor called the cops.  They arrested him, just assuming he was the perp, and when he told them what had transpired, they ended up arresting them both.  When he got bailed out, he left her that same day.  Poor guy...

 

G, it sounds like you need to hang onto this new woman you have, she seems to be a keeper!

Friend of Christine Blasey Ford reportedly felt pressure to revisit statement on allegations

Merits its own thread -- just started one with Rush Limbaugh's analysis.

Kavanaugh is confirmed, time to move on.

Time for retribution.  Can't let outrages go unpunished.

The strategic thing to do (if Ginsburg passes in the next 2 years) is to go ahead and nominate and confirm garland. It erases most of the ill will from 2016 and the court still moves right slightly.

Barrett is a far better choice. I would have preferred Barrett over Kavanaugh.

[TBoneTX 43,061]

Trump probably picked Kavanaugh so that Barrett wouldn't be savaged.  But she should be next up.

At least all the "next-in-liners" are frantically combing their grade-skool activities for anything untoward.

I don't think Trump should take a pick from Obama, so to me Garland is out.  I would go with Barrett.  If the GOP maintains the Senate and another opening occurs, the Dems will not approve of anyone Trump puts up.
