          I'm pretty sure the man who attacked me in September of 1992 (yes, I knew him) would claim not to remember it. I had the strength and wherewithal to stop him and get away, but I will never forget it, and would probably speak out if he were being considered for the USSC.

          The initial theories re how that letter happened was quite a Rorschach test, eg, "Grassley already had a list of 65 women who knew Kavanaugh in HS?!" As for "65 girls, who didn't even go to his school...?!" (yep, that's how it works with single-sex schools)https://twitter.com/MaxKennerly/status/1040700450331348993 …

          it's not possible for gopers in congress to learn of a kavanaugh incident that happened 35 years ago and in less than one day locate 65 girls from schools he didn't go to who knew him back then and have then sign a letter attesting to his chivalry. p.s., the FBI was not involved

          Now, couldn't a Facebook grp for alumnae of those schools function that way? Or maybe they already had a private FB grp about Kavanaugh's nomination & used that. Or maybe many of them now attend the same church & it has a FB grp & they used that? Just saying it's not so tough.
