Only a few bloggers/reporters noted that Blasey Ford's family did not appear w her at the congressional hearing.

Last year, when Christine Blasey Ford emerged after then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings to accuse him of attempted rape at a house party when both were teenagers, there were many unanswered questions both about her story and her credibility.

She offered no proof that she and Kavanaugh had ever even met. She couldn’t remember where it happened, when it happened, or how she arrived at or departed from the party. None of the four alleged witnesses she eventually named, including one of her closest lifelong friends, corroborated her accusations. Prior to airing her allegations with the media, she scrubbed her entire social media history that indicated she was a liberal activist.

To this day, there is zero evidence beyond her claims that the alleged assault ever happened. One detail, however, remains particularly intriguing. The Blasey family stayed conspicuously silent about the veracity of her allegations. A public letter of support for Ford that began “As members of Christine Blasey Ford’s family . . .” wasn’t signed by a single blood relative. Reached for comment by the Washington Post, her father simply said, “I think all of the Blasey family would support her. I think her record stands for itself. Her schooling, her jobs and so on,” before hanging up.

Privately, however, it appears the Blasey family had significant doubts about what Ford was trying to accomplish by coming forward and making unsubstantiated allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. Within days of Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, a fascinating encounter took place. Brett Kavanaugh’s father was approached by Ford’s father at the golf club where they are both members.

Ralph Blasey, Ford’s father, went out of his way to offer to Ed Kavanaugh his support of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, according to multiple people familiar with the conversation that took place at Burning Tree Club in Bethesda, Maryland. “I’m glad Brett was confirmed,” Ralph Blasey told Ed Kavanaugh, shaking his hand. Blasey added that the ordeal had been tough for both families.

Blasey never explicitly addressed the credibility of his daughter’s allegations, but he presumably wouldn’t have supported the nomination of a man he believed tried to rape his daughter.

It wasn’t just Ford’s father. The national drama played out on a decidedly local scale as the D.C.-based family and friends of Ford’s quietly apologized to friends and family of Kavanaugh, even as the toxic political environment made it punitive for them to speak up publicly.

One friend who was subjected to both public scrutiny and private pressure because she cast doubt on Ford’s story was Leland Keyser, one of Ford’s closest friends at the time of the alleged attack. Keyser wanted to support her but nevertheless had no recollection of the event.

Keyser’s son noted on a GoFundMe page for his mother that she put “everything in her life at risk” in order to tell the truth about Ford’s allegations. Son Alex Beckel wrote that his mom “resisted immense personal pressure and courageously came forward with the truth,” adding that she “stood up and did what was right when she had everything to lose and nothing to gain.”

NONE of her family was there to support her which should have been a giant red flag to most.

Not just her parents, but no siblings, aunts, uncles...NOBODY WAS THERE. I suspect they all know she's nuts and want nothing to do with her.

All her "family" if you notice are just friends and coworkers/acquaintances.

In our long Kavanaugh thread, I posted that he had hundreds of friends, co-workers, colleagues, etc. all come out in support. Even Ford's witnesses gave him support by refuting her testimony.

Blasey Ford had NO friends or family to stand by her. Only leftist politicians and lawyers, who all at the end of the day, didn't give a crap about her, only to deny Kavanaugh's confirmation at whatever cost necessary.

She's a liar. Period.
She's as phony as HRC, and I'm sure her entire family knows it.

To hell with her.

So in summary....

1 - Kavanaugh got confirmed.
2 - Blasi Ford enjoyed one hell of a pay day.
3 - The senate confirmation process was irreparably damaged.
4 - The rule of law was turned on its head and damaged.
5 - The DNC got nothing out of this process.
6 - Ford's attorney is now on record as admitting Ford's testimony was BS.
7 - Ford's family doesn't even buy into her BS.

So we can all accurately classify this whole thing a a monumental clusterf^ck.

I believe she lied as well. No support from the family and her history of mental illness does not jibe well.

And yet that lying bitch goes unpunished. I would LOVE to see Senator Graham be the one to officially file perjury charges against her. The day he gave that speech in the chamber BLASTING the Demoshit Machine was the day his testicles dropped. And I was DAMN proud of him that day...

Didn't someone post an article that it's come out recently that Blasey's real intent was to disgrace Justice Kavannaugh to prevent Roe v Wade from being overturned?

Hell I'd love to see any one of those people that Grassley referred for criminal prosecution get indicted. Lying to the FBI, lying to congressional investigators, and they all walk. One guy even admitted he lied and made up the story!

Wait what am I thinking??? When a republican makes a criminal referral to the DOJ they feed it straight into the shredder. Probably don't even read it.

I think Ben Shapiro had a link on his FB but I couldn't find it there or on Dailywire. But the gist of it was Ford's attorney was running her mouth recently and let it slip that her (Ford) main motivation was protecting abortion. How sleazy can you be to try and smear an upstanding man with a baseless allegation for a personal agenda?

All it takes is to be...a Democrat.

I say that as someone who has seen the Facebook posts of all my Dem family members swallowing this and every other baseless allegation against Trump or anyone who supports him, hook line and sinker. They don't care about truth, only max damage to anyone who stands against their liberal agenda, truth be damned.
