- After the anonymous letter was released, 65 women signed a letter on Kavanaughs behalf stating what a swell guy he is/was. After the accuser went public, 60 of them backed away and said they wouldn't testify under oath.
- The only other guy in the room during the alleged assault says he doesn't remember the incident and is also refusing to testify under oath. He's got a long history of misogynistic writings that have been dug up.
- The accuser passed a polygraph test administered by an ex-FBI officer.
- Both the accuser's therapist and husband will testify that she brought up the incident (but didn't name names) back in 2012 when they were in couples therapy.
- There's a video of Kavanaugh joking about his prep school that "what happened there, stayed there."
- The schools yearbook dedicated 2 pages with photos displaying how much of a party house the school was when Kavanaugh attended.
- The accuser wants the FBI to investigate her claim before she'll testify in front of the Senate. GOP says no and wants her to testify Monday. Note: It only took the FBI 3 days to investigate one of Anita Hill's claims about Clarence Thomas.
Think about it, if (when) Kavanaugh gets sworn in, the two most conservative members of the court will be guys who were accused of sexual assault and sexual harassment. The same guys who will be voting on women's rights issues as well as working towards overturning Roe v Wade.
