A quick summary of Ford's credibility:
She refused to hand over the results of her polygraph.
She refused to hand over her 2012 Therapist’s notes.
She said she was afraid to fly, but has flown dozens of times.
Since she did in fact fly, she offered no other reason for the politically beneficial delay she insisted on.
She said she wanted anonymity but contacted WaPo multiple times.
Said she got advice from “beach friends” but didn't mention that the primary one was a former FBI lawyer, Monica McLean, who worked for Preet Bharara, a man Trump fired.
She also failed to mention, when talking of her Beach friends at the hearing, that Monica was sitting right behind her.
She had a perfect memory of 1982 but couldn't remember basic things from the previous 10 weeks.
She'd been drinking.
She changed the year of the alleged attack.
She named 4 people, but had no backers.
She couldn't remember how she got home even though her story had her escaping a house far from home, pre-cell phone.
No friend ever said "Hey you disappeared, where did you go? How'd you get home?" No one got an unexpected call from a payphone to pick her up.
She gave no location or any details that could be researched for verification.
She never told anyone of the incident nor claimed PTSD prior to Kavanaugh's name circulating 30 years later.
She said that she put the 2nd door on her house because of PTSD, but evidence shows it was to get around zoning laws to create a rentable apartment.
She said she didn't know that Grassley offered to come to her, even though it was broadcast nationally.
She feigned no knowledge of polygraphs even though her ex’s sworn statement said she'd coached Monica McLean how to beat it in the 1990s, and in any case her profession should have at least well acquainted her with it.
She claimed it was a repressed memory, something that is rare, disputed by experts, doesn't fit this profile, and is often conflated with the far more common false memory.
She co-authored a paper on repressed memory creation years before she claimed to have one.
Nothing is known of her pharmacology, but given her past alcoholism, her visits to a therapist and her general presentation, odds are high that it's extensive.
She scrubbed her social media, preventing checks on her credibility and biases.
We know from a pussy hat photo that she was rabidly anti-trump. The hat puts her in a 1-2% subgroup of extremists.
Extremists in general are not known for honesty or clarity of thought, but rather paranoia, which can lead to delusions and false conclusions. This subculture in particular is known for being "easily offended" which is often in fact, falsely offended.
She had zero family or friends with her, not from the 80s nor from today. She was surrounded only by Democrat Party Handlers.
Constant cries of bravery and “nothing to gain” vs a $700,000 GoFundMe and a career boosted a la Anita Hill. An instant hero within her chosen subculture.
Literally, all there is her word vs all of the above. Not a shred of evidence.
