There’s an Entry on Kavanaugh’s 1982 Calendar That Supports Ford’s Story Better Than His Own
By MATTHEW ZEITLIN

SEPT 27, 20186:23 PM
Brett Kavanaugh’s calendar for July 1982.

Provided by Brett Kavanaugh to the Senate Judiciary Committee
Much of Brett Kavanaugh’s testimony Tuesday focused on calendars he kept in the summer of 1982, where he detailed a few months that consisted mostly of hanging out with friends and sports camps and, Kavanaugh pointed out, few weekends spent in the Washington area as he traveled to the beach and other summer destinations. He insisted that his calendars proved he could not have been present at a gathering like the one described by accuser Christine Blasey Ford—a small group of friends drinking at a house when no parents were home.* Kavanaugh maintained that he recorded all his social engagements and that no entry on his calendar matches the vague outlines of the get-together Ford detailed. But one entry shows that he went “to Timmy’s for skis w/Judge, Tom, PJ, Bernie, Squi.”

Ford had identified Mark Judge as in the room while Kavanaugh allegedly assaulted her and said that “P.J.”—a man named Patrick Smyth—was elsewhere at the gathering. (Smyth denied to the Judiciary Committee being present at any such gathering.) Ford also noted that it appeared that Judge and Kavanaugh had been drinking beforehand and were far more intoxicated than the other people there.

In Thursday’s hearing, Kavanaugh was asked about the July 1 entry by Rachel Mitchell, the lawyer representing Republican senators, and replied, “It looks like we went over to Timmy’s” and identified the other boys who’d joined him. That was as far as that line of questioning went.

July 1 was a Thursday. Kavanaugh’s defense also relied on his insistence that the gathering could not have happened on a weeknight. “The event described by Dr. Ford presumably happened on a weekend because I believe everyone worked and had jobs in the summers,” he said. Kavanaugh later said his summer job in 1982 was mowing lawns. (“I had my own business of sorts.”)

Speaking of summer jobs, a book written by Judge says that the summer before his senior year of high school, “to raise money for football camp, I spent a few weeks working as a bag boy at the local supermarket.” This supports another statement of Ford’s when she described seeing Judge after the alleged incident at his job at a local Safeway supermarket. Judge writes in his book that, by then, he was “completely hooked” on alcohol and was frequently drunk. “Invariably I would be hungover” while working there, he wrote, which would mean drinking on weeknights.

Is it possible that teenagers might gather to drink on a Thursday night in the summer at a house with no parents home? Is it possible Kavanaugh went over to Timmy’s for “skis” (brewskis, apparently) and he and Judge journeyed on to another gathering? Could the night of July 1 be the night Ford was assaulted? Sounds worthy of further interrogation.

1. No further interrogation until Dems are the majority.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

2. Nooooooooooooo

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. Whoa. American bar association just called

for a halt on vote..called for FBI investigation.

[BigmanPigman]

8. I doubt that will effect the GOP bastards.

I DID get an email from one of my activist groups and posted it under Activist Headquarters. There is still time to call the senators and demand an FBI investigation, etc. Check it out. That is what I am doing bright and early tomorrow AM! Resistance is partiotism.

13. RESIST!

3. Also 0 July 7 entry - "Columbia"

Columbia Country Club is the name of the pool that Dr. Ford said she spent most days at during the summer. Sounds like he was going to the pool/club that day. She said she went to the house which was near the Columbia pool after swimming at the pool. It was still early as she thought there would be a party later in the day.

4. No need to travel elsewhere

Is it possible that teenagers might gather to drink on a Thursday night in the summer at a house with no parents home? Is it possible Kavanaugh went over to Timmy’s for “skis” (brewskis, apparently) and he and Judge journeyed on to another gathering? Could the night of July 1 be the night Ford was assaulted? Sounds worthy of further interrogation.

That entry is consistent with her description - a small event (the number of people there is consistent with her testimony) - AND it includes the names ofeveryone she identified by name - aside from the other woman.

5. Shouldn't say this but it did run through my

Mind...what if she went by herself (only women).

[Ms. Toad]

6. I have no more reason to doubt that her friend was there,

than I have to doubt anything else she said.

But women are likely to be invisible to Kavanaugh - after all they're just targets for his drunken advances. No need to name them in his calendar.

9. I say this because she seemed so fragile

And worried about what her parents thought that she thought she had to act like there was another girl there. I don't see it as a lie as much as a cover. It wouldn't make anything else not true. And it really would explain a lot. Why no one standing up for for her. How she got home... The nice guy took her home home.

Naturally just totally hypothesizing now. Did anyone ask her how she got to the party? And who she was with? Because she said she expected her girlfriend to be there. And she didn't drive. So how did she get there? Maybe I missed it.

[Ms. Toad]

14. She didn't disclose for a couple of decades.

Worry about what her parents thought would about attending a party alone by the time she disclosed would be very unlikely.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. And...in testimony today he made a big deal

Too big a deal about how that workout always ran late

10. Busted!
