    Shorter the White House of a guy who serially bribed women to stay silent about their sexual encounters: That an alleged sexual misconduct victim only told Senator Feinstein of this at the last minute is proof it didn't happen.

        I'm assuming we're also going to hear a lot of stupid yelling about "statute of limitations."

        This allegedly happened when they were in high school so it would be minor conduct in any case.

        Turner was 19. We don't know anything about Kavanaugh's age at the time of any alleged incident yet, do we?

        No. But he would only have been 18 for ~3 months of high school.

        If both were less than 18, rape is rape, right? Still, statute of limitations. Makes his prior mentor a little more interesting, but inconsequential with GOP revved up.

        I disagree entirely. 1- just because it happened in high school doesn’t mean it wasn’t serious and devastating. 2- all research on victims of sexual violence (if that’s what it was) show that coming forward is a fraught + devastating experience. Explains the delay in reporting

        To the Right, it is completely inconceivable that someone who has intimate knowledge of Kavanaugh's past might feel an imperative to come forward to stop his lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land before it actually happens.

        Maybe she thought it was time to tell . Victims sometimes do tell years or even decades later. The thought of my attacker being one of the most powerful 9 people in the country might just be the nudge she needed. You never know. Stop victim blaming.

        My guess is #Kavanaugh lied to the FBI on his background check about the sexual misconduct allegations. That would sink his nomination imo, not the actual allegations themselves #StopKavanaugh
