What kind of shit is this?? Two men claim they assaulted Dr Ford

Senate Judiciary Committee says staff interviewed 2 men claiming they, not Kavanaugh, assaulted Ford

https://www.businessinsider.com/2-men-tell-senate-judiciary-committee-they-assaulted-ford-not-kavanaugh-2018-9

Senate Judiciary Committee staff spoke separately to two men who believe that they, and not Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, had "the encounter" with Christine Blasey Ford that is the basis of her accusation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her.

The information was released by the committee on Wednesday night, but the committee did not name the men or state if it felt their information was credible or would conduct a follow-up investigation.

The committee said that staff interviewed "a man who believes he, not Judge Kavanaugh, had the encounter with Dr. Ford in 1982 that is the basis of his complaint" on September 24.

The man described the interaction in "some detail," according to the committee. They interviewed him again the next day.

Pretty sure they are past the statute of limitations and they could easily rake in some cash through GoFundMe or something similar.

Shit like this draws out terrible opportunistic people

However in this instance it's very likely bullshit.

...this is the ONLY logical course of action. Unless, of course, you really DON'T want to get to the bottom of this mess and have the truth come out.

thus subject to prosecution for lying, this sort of "news" should go straight into the "BULLSHIT" file.

Wherein... if these two men ... "mis-remembered".... is it not then possible that Dr. Ford also "mis-remembered?" Right Mitch?

I have really had enough of this bullshit. Has America not had enough? All the Rethugs. have left is gas-lighting and rat-fucking and I am sick of it.

NOTHING will keep them from the "Precious" and that should scare the shit out of all of us.
