Kavanaugh to Give Senate Calendars From 1982 to Back Up Denial

Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh has calendars from the summer of 1982 that he plans to hand over to the Senate Judiciary Committee that do not show a party consistent with the description of his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, according to someone working for his confirmation.

The calendars do not disprove Dr. Blasey’s allegations, Judge Kavanaugh’s team acknowledged. He could have attended a party that he did not list. But his team will argue to the senators that the calendars provide no corroboration for her account of a small gathering at a house where he allegedly pinned her to a bed and tried to remove her clothing.

The calendar pages from June, July and August 1982, which were examined by The New York Times, show that Judge Kavanaugh was out of town much of the summer at the beach or away with his parents. When he was at home, the calendars list his basketball games, movie outings, football workouts and college interviews. A few parties are mentioned but include names of friends other than those identified by Dr. Blasey.

Let's see how he noted that awesome party he went to in law school that he bragged about in a speech. How about the one from when he was 39 and got married..... You know, when he'd try to convince the sheeple that he *finally* lost his virginity?

If he was that detailed about his life, he would have calendars for other years beside 82. He need to produce those.

My guess. During a White House session, they saw him circling the drain and Trump thought of the calendar idea, and the syncopates around him jumped for joy.

This is so preposterous, not even preteen girls would do that!

Who isn't ROTFLMAO at the notion of a 53 year old man saving his boyhood calendars for 36 years? And lo and behold, Kavanaugh saved all his hardcopy calendars and evidently he kept them intact and in pristine condition, too, moving them from dorm rms, to frat houses, to apartments, to houses because he... what, what was he saving them for???

C'mon raise your hand it you know anyone who did that!

They better check for erasures then. Like, the nights when he was trying to rape girls. He probably erased those from his calendar.

"souvenirs" of their acts like newspaper stories or something of the victim's. Maybe Kavanaugh kept the 1982 calender as a momento of the assault.

We also need to send the calendar book to its manufacturer to see if they made that style of calendar in 1982, and have the ink tested to see if it's still offgassing solvent.

I'm with the rest of you: what high school boy keeps calendars that thorough, and does anyone retain calendars for 36 years? It almost seems like Kavanaugh went to a stationery store, bought an appointment book, and whipped up "proof" he wasn't close enough to Dr. Ford to try to rape her after the allegations came to light.

And I still want to know about his gambling addiction, extremely rapid debt payoff, his involvement in stealing the Democrats' emails during the Dubya Bush judge confirmation battle, how he could afford the house he has, and whether he really thinks dreaming up questions about how many times President Clinton did things that'd get this thread locked if they were listed here with Monica Lewinsky is good preparation to be a Supreme Court justice.
