      If Kavanaugh is confirmed w/o anyone getting Squi's testimony, Squi is likely to have blackmail over one of the most powerful men in the world for 30 years.

      There are lots of buried premises in that tweet.

      Let's unbury them. 1) Ed Whelan, in an attempt to discredit Ford's claim, falsely accused a middle school teacher of attempted rape 2) While Kav claims not to know Ford, Ford notes Squi spent all summer w/Kav year in question 3) Squi is witness on most likely known assault date

      As for 3, why then has Ford never claimed that?

      It's not clear she knows. What if Squi showed up after the incident and learned about it then? What if he drove her home but she was too traumatized to remember? Point is, a gather JUST LIKE what she describes happened JUST WHEN she describes, and he was there, and he knows her.

      "Just like" only if it didn't include some people she mentioned and included others she omitted. But other than that. (Seriously, is your next tweet going to be based on Zillow?)

      Nah, I'm not a hack like Whelan. Given that Kav has testified (under oath, just like he did abt Devil's Triangle when he lied about that) that sometimes this was prospective and sometimes retro, that's not a meaningful refutation. And, again, more of it corroborates.

      It also, of course, shows that key parts of Kav's defense (such as that he didn't really drink on weeknights) are bullshit. Raising real questions about his overall credibility amid all the other evidence he's a rampant perjurer.

          one hypothetical is that one reason Blasey Ford was there & defenseless is that she (and separately BK) expected Squi to be there & in the pre-cellphone era, plans changed. and that she got home in a daze. squi also general witness for the summer (top mentioned person).

          In fact, this where voluntary cooperation my undermine even an aggressive, unconstricted investigation. Squi may understandably not want to disrupt his life. He can refuse to cooperate. Hope he does, but failure of Committee to use its subpoena power is glaring.
