Kavanaugh to hand over calendars from 1982 that don't show party of alleged incident

[Mrs. Overall]

Source: The Hill

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is planning to give the Senate Judiciary Committee calendars from his high school years his legal team argues will back up his denial of sexual misconduct allegations, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

The calendars reportedly show that Kavanaugh was away for most of the summer in 1982, the year that Christine Blasey Ford claims Kavanaugh assaulted her at a party. According to the Times, the calendars include details about other gatherings that he attended, but do not include details about a party similar to the one detailed by Ford.

Kavanaugh's lawyers acknowledged to the Times that Kavanaugh could have attended a party that he did not list on the calendars, but they are planning to argue that it proves there is no corroboration for her account.

Ford on Sunday agreed to publicly testify about the alleged misconduct. The hearing is set for Thursday.

Ford says Kavanaugh pinned her down, groped her and attempted to remove her clothes during a small gathering when the two were high school students at neighboring D.C.-area schools. She says the incident has caused her decades of emotional trauma, a claim substantiated by her therapist's notes in 2012 and 2013.

1. So they are saying...IF

he attempted to rape a girl, he would have noted it in his calendar?

[PNW-Dem]

8. Seriously, I thought this was from The Onion...

We are in Crazy Town.

[jezebel321]

2. gosh that is so interesting. If he didnt write it in his calendar...no way he would attempt rape nt

[C Moon]

3. Oh man! This is going be humor fodder for comedians and comic artists!

[Mrs. Overall]

4. Yep! That was my first thought, too.

It's absolutely ridiculous.

[onecaliberal]

5. So what they think his calendar says

Monday: chemistry and drinking
Tuesday: legal theory and drinking
Wednesday: rape a girl....

This is laughable.

6. Who keeps a high-school calendar from 36 years ago? n/t

[reACTIONary]

21. What high school kid keeps a calendar ...

...period ?

[MaryMagdaline]

26. Someone who thought he needed an alibi

[left-of-center2012]

7. What high school kid keeps a 36 year old calendar?

[cstanleytech]

12. Aye it sounds a bit suspicious as I know in my house we throw the old ones away.

[forgotmylogin]

23. And supposing they did...

marking dates of exams and homework deadlines, why would they write parties in it?

Other than formal ones - as many parties as it sounds like there were, why keep record of that?

I know in college and from dorm life, get-togethers happened sometimes spontaneously. You're already living together. It's Friday night, Saturday night, of course someone's having a party.

[dchill]

24. What HUMAN keeps a SEVEN year old calendar?

BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!
BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! ... Yada yada yada...

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Kavanaugh attempting to manufacture whole cloth from a single thread

This is not deniability. This is grasping at straws.

[blueinredohio]

10. Besides being years ago

do they think even if this calender is real he's going to write "I locked a girl in a room tonight and attempted to assault her"

[woundedkarma]

11. This guy should be kept off the SC just for thinking this is evidence of anything.

And... the difference between Trump and Kavanaugh? On Trump's calendar, you'd find the dates and times of the sexual assaults. He'd show them off in an interview on fox news and then say it's fake news and no collusion.

[cstanleytech]

14. Plus once he thinks the cameras have stopped rolling he would say something like

"I tell you, all you gotta do is grab them by their pussy and they are yours".

[samnsara]

13. haha o THIS is why ppl are posting their calanders..

..maybe my mom has saved mine from 35 yrs ago. shes still got all my Beatles stuff!! But at 17 I could give a shit about schedules...just saying..

[meadowlander]

15. But does his passport show travel to the Czech Republic?

[Vinca]

16. A calendar . . . uh huh. At least it's an original idea. What high school kid doesn't

keep a calendar? And what adult doesn't keep 30 year old calendars? I wonder if he kept a tally of how many kegs per party were consumed.

[bpositive]

17. Cough... Cough ...

I call bullshit

[iluvtennis]

18. Seriously, what 17 year back in the 80's (b4 cell phones) kept a calendar. I call BS. nt

[Blue_playwright]

33. I did but I certainly didn't keep it! NT

[llmart]

19. So THAT'S what he was doing at the White House for 9 hours the other day.

Can't you just see him and the orange anus mouth sitting in the Oval Office with an old calendar from 1982 filling in things on each day?

Anus mouth: "Well, let's see. For the 10th of the month we'll put dentist appointment."

Brett the drunk: "I think I'll put down shopping for new sports jacket on the 12th."


Honestly, I love the smell of desperation on this goon.

[Kajun Gal]

20. What BS! Big BS!

[justgamma]

22. Makes sense.

What 17 year old kid wouldn't write down that he was going to a booze party. They really think we're idiots.

[MaryMagdaline]

27. I know!

Cuz I always wanted a record of my attending a no-adult booze party so my parents could stumble upon it at any time.

[atreides1]

25. Well!!!

Now we know why Kavanaugh was spending so much time at the White House! Which ghost writer did Trump hire to put together this calendar, of a 17 year old boy???

[Historic NY]

28. First it was binders of women now it calendars...

Who the hell keeps calendars when your a kid......

My uncle used calendars to mark off bills paid and would insert them for the accountant. It was always comical to see bulging piles of bills stuffed into a calendar, wrapped by rubber bands.

[Freethinker65]

29. This was a "party" of opportunity. Sounds more spontaneous than planned.

Young people "party" when the opportunity arises. This was not a rager for the whole community planned way in advance or a party with invitations and RSVPs sent out by the parents.

Someone had access to a free house with a pool and some alcohol for a period of time and invited whoever was around and available to show up.

[Cousin Dupree]

30. Calendar entry: Rape a girl tonight

[NorCen_CT]

31. Umm, what?!?!?

Kavanaugh's lawyers acknowledged to the Times that Kavanaugh could have attended a party that he did not list on the calendars, but they are planning to argue that it proves there is no corroboration for her account.

[NotASurfer]

32. Is this like Capone keeping two sets of books?

One showing all his business on the up-and-up to trot out in case of audit, the other in a safe written in code with the P&L for illegal booze, gambling, and prostitution run by the Mob?

Beside the point that no normal teenager would need a calendar documenting their party habits, or save it for decades as an adult

[KPN]

34. Lol! Undeniable proof in the minds of desperate people. Too much!
