      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

      GOP's prosecutor elicited evidence from Ford & Kavanaugh that, in the summer in question, Ford and Kavanaugh were more closely traveling the same circles, thru "Squi." As @pbump notes, Kavanaugh was w/Squi 13 times that summer. Dr. Ford was "going out" with him, perhaps earlier

      So if Ford was NOT asked to be on that 65-lady letter (a smaller number still back it), then it suggests EITHER someone knew not to invite her to be OR the 65 ladies aren't representative of the women who were in Kavanaugh's circles that summer.

      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

      Perhaps. “Witness” may be a stretch. Given Ford’s recollection, only her, Kavanaugh, and Judge were direct witnesses since it happened upstairs with music blaring, while the rest of the group was still mingling downstairs

      Right: But certainly a witness that they were in the same circles.

          If he can say Judge and Brett were at a party and drunk with Ford also present that goes a long long way. Remember that Judge and Brett deny even having been at a party with Ford that summer...

          He can also say Brett was lying about drinking and sexual habits. And hell maybe there’s even more he knows, given his proximity.

          It’s absolutely devastating for Brett to have been observed in a “blackout” drunk state at the party because it means his recollection can’t be trusted. That’s the real value of a Chris Garrett and probably Mark Judge too.

          Yes Judge since he can speak to the assault. But as has been discussed many times over, nothing out of the ordinary happened for the other attendees, so it’s likely they don’t remember anything about that party.

          Squi can corroborate the events, the location, the layout of the house, the inebriation of K&J

          They 2 some degree may/may not, have observed laughing duo, her body, face & pace while exiting house, some maybe 8 miles from her home.

          And... this explanation would also demolish the “I believe Ford but maybe Kavanaugh was blacked out for the whole thing and has no recollection, so he’s not really lying either” theory.
