Problem w #SusanCollins's evidentiary standard for sex assault claims - in vast majority of cases, only two are present. In many older cases, there isn't contemporaneous corroborating testimony, just friends, family, therapists who can attest as to when vic first disclosed. 1/
#BelieveWomen is trite, unconstitutional nonsense. We can't simply believe everything every woman claims now becs women & girls' reports too often haven't been taken seriously. We just need to take reports seriously. Which requires investigation in order to build a case vs perp 2
We need to safeguard due process, becs each of us will need it if/when we're accused of violating a law. And no, a mere allegation, w/out more, can't be enough to find guilt. Some people make false claims for malicious purpose. It happens. 3/
#BeachFriends well former #CorruptFBI agent and life long BFF of #Ford Monica Lee Mclean (retired after Trump's election) lives at ”Rehoboth Beach, DE", #Ford helped her learn how to pass a polygraph test. Oh and @SenCoonsOffice seems to hang out there too with former VP Biden. 
This letter brook it open from #Ford's ex-boyfriend alleging: dated for 6 yrs, never told of sex assault, Ford coached friend (Monica Lee Mclean) on #FBI polygraph, flew frequently w/o expressing any fear of flying/tight spaces/limited exits. Doesn’t want to b/c “involved”.
For full details of all the #DeepState tie-ins to smear and destroy #Kavanaugh just because he is associated with @realDonaldTrump read this excellent analysis by Sundance, e.g. @TheLastRefuge2 theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/10/03/chr…

Anyone who supports #JudgeKavanaugh should not be concerned w/a one week investigation as long as:
- #POTUS has control over the rogue #FBI.
- #RuleofLaw is restored.

The #WhiteHats are now in contol...including of the #FBI. Witness the ouster and/or referral for prosecution of #Comey, #McCabe, #Strzok, #Page, #JamesBaker, et al (T makes it hard to ID ALL of the traitors).

@Der_Eisenhans I logged out at 24:30 & listened to Bach - Much better.
#Kavanaugh did not impress me: Comes across like a guy who wants to become Sheriff of a small town in #Texas, not #SCOTUS-Judge.
Losing his cool, stories about promoting women, prayers by junior & more, ALL irrelevant!

@Der_Eisenhans 2. #Ford does not always make sense (recalls only one beer 35 years ago, but not documents to the #WaPo a month ago) - Her timing also shows that she has a clear political motive: Prevent #Kavanaugh from becoming #SCOTUS-Judge.
She did not impress.
She did not impress.
@Der_Eisenhans 3. But even if we accept that #Kavanaugh is innocent (which he remains in any case until found guilty by a court), his non-performance shows that he is not made out of the stuff a top judge & decision-maker is made off: Presented his case poorly (as a top judge!). TBC
1. Dick Durbin diatribe asks the nomination process to be suspended.
@ChuckGrassley lays down the rule of the JC committee blasts Durbin.
#Kavanaugh badgered but says he will do what the committee chosen, brings up entrapment. Describes 302's the FBI does not reach conclusions

2. #Kavanaugh Brings up the confidentiality issue which the Democrats violated both #Ford's and #Kavanaugh's privacy.
3. Sen Graham blasts the Democrats - AWESOME. If you really wanted to know the truth [Democrats] you could have done it at anytime. You had no intention to protect Dr. #Ford.
I’m only posting breaking news/ hot takes/pithy rhetorical analysis/puns/selfies from #TribFest18 for the next few days.
Starting now.
Starting now.
At registration I’ve already run into two people I know—a former student who wants to go into publishing marketing (and working the @BookPeople table) & a former Aggie Agora speaker. Also bought @TheRickWilson’s book and hoping to find him irl so he can sign it for me!
Y’all! So excited to see @DLind @cjane87 & @mattyglesias talk about the weeds of Trump’s boarder wall. #TribFest18
Quick analysis of smear campaign against #JudgeKavanaugh:
1. #Ford's accusation is LITTERED w/contradictions and lacks a SINGLE PIECE of corroboration. See:
1. #Ford's accusation is LITTERED w/contradictions and lacks a SINGLE PIECE of corroboration. See:
2. #DeborahRamirez' claims were so unsubstantiated, w/o credibility or corroboration, that the #NYT REFUSED to publish an article about them. Ramirez admitted she only recalled that "Kavanaugh had exposed himself" after SIX DAYS of consulting her attorney.

3. Accuser # 3, #JulieSwetnick, incredibly waited until YESTERDAY to release her outrageous claim that Kavanaugh was somehow a ring leader for a HS gang-rape circuit. Her claims were so incredulous and unsupported that the NYT again passed on writing an article about this.
I'm a sociologist who studies adolescent sexual violence. On this thread, I will be live tweeting the #Kavanaugh hearing, chiming in with sociological insights and research findings.
Full disclosure--I will probably step away for parts of it. While many conservatives have cast feminists as people who rejoice at allegations of sexual assault against powerful men, this is a painful process for us. We know survivors. We are survivors. And I will need breaks.
It does not bode well that the beginning of this hearing is starting with equating #Kavanaugh and #Ford's experiences with harassment following Dr. Ford's allegations. They are absolutely not the same.
More inconsistencies with #ChristineBlaseyFord!
The problem with a lie, especially when involving other people, is that it's hard to repeat the lie consistently and have various accounts match up. I will do a deeper thread on the overall #DeepState attack on #JudgeKavanaugh...

which is what the smear campaign really is. Let me outline the items in #Fords' accusations that are either SPECIFIC contradictions or don't match with common sense. I will start with her corroborations:
1. Despite the "party," which was really a small get-together, only...
1. Despite the "party," which was really a small get-together, only...
having five people in attendance (as of her most-recent account), including Ford, NOT ONE of those people identified as being at the event recalls the event. This was not a "typical" event as she claims two men tried to rape her, and she fled the scene without telling her one...
1. @SenFeinstein you wanted an #FBI investigation, I think your going to get one, but just not in the way you wanted. You knew all along the #FBI would never due to jurisdiction and JC rules never go back 30+ years and investigate hearsay allegations #ConfirmKavanaughNow
2. @SenFeinstein you knew the statue has either run out & that no local police would give the claims credibility, you knew all four named witnesses don't collaborate #Ford and one is a "life long friend". You foisted a fraud against the JC for pure politics. #ConfirmKavanaughNow
3. @SenFeinstein you wanted an #FBI investigation, your going it but it's for #Collusion and #Obstruction (wow those words sound so so very familiar) foisted on the Judiciary Committee by YOU and YOUR current/ex staffer's. Sleep Well ... #KarmaIsABitch #ConfirmKavanaughNow #MAGA
1. Kavanaugh "𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔" - such refreshing fortitude and someone with a spine that will not cave to PC leftist games reminds me of #POTUS, I say #ConfirmKavanaughNow
2. All congressional fax machines are digital yet someone seems to have gone pretty far out of their way to make it look like an "old style" low resolution Fax (perhaps @DianneFeinstein and her current/ex staffers) - Note different font / font size! it was always a lowlife #SetUp
3. This Font issue is so glaring - seriously it is impossible to happen by accident (was it a fill in a blank or was it doctored). Just look at the detail looks just like a cut-n-paste extortion letter (OMG that is exactly what it is). #ConfirmKavanaghNow
I can tell you this with 100% certainty. All social media is censoring me and especially my fundraisers. 🤔Wonder how many have ties to or work for the Rockefeller International child traffickers? ...ahem I mean Rockefeller Foundation🙄
DISGUSTING how easy the fraudsters have it, speaks volume to the aforementioned! #Strzok #Ford @gofundme #Rockefeller #Tavistock #Stanford #profiteers off the degradation of the human condition they intrusively impose! GERALD CLARK/ROCKEFELLER!
@realDonaldTrump @replouiegohmert
@realDonaldTrump @replouiegohmert
@gofundme @realDonaldTrump @replouiegohmert Many if not all @MinnesotaDFL politicians are involved with what's being I posed upon me. All know why too! ...and they know WHAT WAS DONE TO MY DAUGHTER AS A CHILD AND INTO ADULTHOOD! SO DOES THE MN US ATTYS OFFICE AND MINNEAPOLIS FBI, DIRTY AGENT JAY BRUNN IS TIED TO CLARK!
Never discount a survivor of abuse due to the amount of time b/w the assault & speaking out. It means nothing as far as credibly.
I was molested from abt 7-14 &didn't speak abt it for 18 yrs. Also, I was raped by a pastor & only opened up abt it after hanging myself 👇🏼1/

In a suicide attempt that should've killed me. Anyone criticizing or disparaging #Ford for speaking out is why we need a #metoo movement. Collectively we can't be silenced. Alone we are just whispering into a void. 👇/2
Not only do we spend a lifetime wondering "WHAT happened" "HOW did it happen" & a lifetime of every "what-ifs" imaginable. We feel broken, unlovable, scarred, self conscious & paranoid. Don't let the smile fool u. The real pain is behind the eyes and in the heart u can't see👇/3

Que retenir finalement du #G7Charlevoix que #Trump quitte ce matin en avance après à peine 24h de présence?Qu'il avance sur la remise en cause d'1 ordre mondial libéral régulé par les #EtatsUnis depuis 1945 et qu'il se moque toujours des salamalecs.#thread washingtonpost.com/world/national…
2) En effet, on a vu de nouveau le président #Macron et le PM canadien #Trudeau revenir à la stratégie #compol des démonstrations d'affection et de dialogue amical, mises en scène pour l'opinion publique, afin de fléchir 1 #Trump qui les accueille poliment SANS s'engager sur rien
3) #Trump plaisante avec (sur?) #Trudeau, complimente-à l'excès- le président #Macron sur leur relation très spéciale, il est comme 1 poisson dans l'eau avec ses jeux de dupes face caméra, qui ne l'impliquent pas...
