Obviously an important story, but you grossly exaggerate when you use "corroborate" to refer to hearsay

If you read the piece, he actually used the word himself.
-
Are you merely quoting him or implying he is correctly using the word? Because I think your tweet implies the latter and he is incorrectly using the word "corroborate"
-
Corroborate doesn't have to mean he was there. He presents evidence that it was known at the time that this assault took place and therefore that Ramirez's account is not something new or fabricated for political reasons.
-
Eye-witness testimony is not the only type of testimony which could be relevant, even in a court of law (which this is not)
-
I am not saying this isn't relevant, I think it is quite relevant, it just is not "corroboration". His evidence does not relate to proving her account occurred, all it does is prove that she has been making this claim for a long period of time.
-
So while it might rule out possible motivations for her account (such as if she made it up for political reasons), it does not help anyone ascertain the truth value of her claim itself

So someone told Kavanaugh’s freshman roommate that Kavanaugh exposed himself to a woman back in college (not mentioning the woman’s name) and now he knows without any doubt it was Deborah Ramirez? His account of Kavanaugh’s heavy blackout drinking seems more credible than this.
-
Kavanaugh himself said if it had happened it would have been the talk of the school. But according to Ramirez, it WAS the talk of the school and she is hoping people who remember that will come forward. Apparently someone has.

Has anyone else come forward with these rumors? I’m not disbelieving her claims, at all. I’m just trying to clearly understand.

It seems to me there are plenty of witnesses to his deviant history, the fact is the Republicans don't care because they need a judge on the court that will protect their shady dealings.

I remember hearing that BK was being prepped for testimony at the WH for days before the SJC hearing. Right or wrong, good or bad, this situation is Trump rallying his base against the evil Democrats, and they're falling for it.
