        Ms. Wheeler in one of your articles you insinuate that Kavanaugh drank while watching Dr. Ford's testimony. Can you provide any reliable source for that information? Thank You.

        I suspect it was merely conjecture based on his displays of belligerence and anger.

        I wish she could herself make it clear whether she knows something we don't or it was just conjecture. I don't know why she can't say it unequivocally considering it's a simple question. Does she believe a man on trial for his drinking habits would come drunk before the jury?

        Thanks Ms. Wheeler for clarifying that statement as just "Conjecture". If an author is comfortable about conjecturing whether someone was drunk, that would explain why comments on her blogpost would feel comfortable conjecturing that Kavanaugh abuses his daughter.pic.twitter.com/Z4XMNkLv1G

        1) I hadn't read that. We get a lot of comments. 2) Can you show where an allegation of abuse is made?

        1) Last line, I didn't catch it in the screenshot. "User registration are disabled", else I would've replied there. 2) "Something’s just not right behind the closed door of that family." Considering ur past work I followed was document dependent, wish u'd avoid conjectures.

        Something not right might mean teenager not getting along with her father. Or, frankly, alcohol abuse. And note you're mischaracterizing what I said about Kav being actually drunk.

        So who did Whelan conspire with to make Squi the fall guy? Was that why Kavanaugh presented his calendar as exculpatory evidence? To finger Squi?

        Maybe it wasn't just opportunistic that Judge/Kavanaugh followed her up the stairs. She had been dating Squi. Maybe they were establishing an alpha male thing

        It does seem odd that Kavanaugh said that he just knew her in passing, even though she 'went out with' and thus presumably spent a fair amount of time with one of his close circle of friends.

        Didn’t you bury the lede? If Dr Ford went out with one of Kavanaugh’s closest buddies for months, how can he deny knowing her at all?

        Two things amaze me about these revelations. First is the prevalence and the outrageous extremes and for how long these ‘white privileges’ can go on. Second is the ease with which they revert to forming a cockamamie conspiracy theory as a fall back. Who picks the fall guy?

        Do we really think the letter was a spontaneous creation and not something organized by Kavanaugh’s camp?
