Here's a point a reader made: 1) The 65-woman letter came b4 Dr. Ford's name became public (and some people withdrew after her name did become public). 2) So Ford should, at least conceivably, have been invited to join the letter. 1/n

Add this to the reasons why the Ed Whelan hoax was so ham-handed. 1) It seems they were trying to take out the witness to the event who might be sympathetic to Ford 2) Now Squi, a middle school teacher, is pissed he was falsely accused 3) Suggests Whelan/Kav knew Squi's role

Dayum. That’s some insight

Not mine--I owe it to a reader. As I owe many smart ideas.

What I love about
@emptywheel’s reporting and tweets: she asks the obvious questions no one else asks. Why wasn’t Dr Ford asked to sign that letter? I want to write “Marcy Wheeler is smarter than you” on every dollar bill. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/09/27/republicans-prosecutor-may-have-helped-undercut-kavanaughs-defense/ …https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1046013939023323136 … -
Again, this is not my insight--it's the insight of a reader.

Didn't Kavanaugh also claim not to know Ford at all?! That seems pretty easy to falsify...
-
HE was drunk all summer so how should he -- oh wait he never forgets.
-
he actually pulled the "Three horns don't hang around with long necks" Land Before Time shit in describing how his school didn't associate with girls from Ford's everything about him is a lie

Excellent reference

Considering Ed Whelan was stalking her LinkedIn profile before her name became public, I think Team Brett knew full well not to ask her to sign that letter.

Meghan and Scott McCaleb initiated the letter of support. They discussed it with some former Kavanaugh law clerks, and then spread it through social networks. I don’t think they generated a list of people to contact or not contact, it just followed the lines of their network.

If they were specifically targetting girls, they would have been going after ones who were NOT in their immediate circle. Either way, analyze the demographics of those women on the letter and make a list of women who are NOT, but who you might expect to be, and interview THEM.

o.O oh~~~~ I see the glaring fallacy now!

It’s a preemptive move because
#gop bets that#McConnel can make this a pure political confirmation without a true investigation. And#Kavanaugh would be forever be in gop’s debt to do its bidding in scotus. -
Geez, I wonder if
#Kavanaugh was chosen like in#HouseOfCards in which#Gop flat out extorted him to be nominated or else...

This whole 65 women number is bullshit. I went to a large high school and I can’t think of 65 women who I knew back then. 20-30 maybe? That list should be investigated as well since it was entered into evidence at the hearing.

The FBI will be doing interviews with as many of these women as they can readily find. That shouldn't take long.

I believe the Repubs on the judicial committee had the complaint and prepared the letter days in advance of the leak. The collected the signatures then leaked it themselves at the 11th hour so they could accuse the Democrats of sitting on it, Ryan Grimm said it was not Feinstein.
