I spent an hour reading comments on the NYT yesterday and if memory serves me right it went like this: For Kavanaugh 50% Against Kavanaugh 50% Those 'for' mostly had lengthy posts laying out facts. Those against had no facts but put forth arguments like, "He's a rapist." "He'll destroy what we worked for." "She's a woman and a hero and needs to be heard and believed." "We need to stop this and get an FBI investigation." The investigation was probably the most widely put forth argument by those against but when asked 'what should be investigated specifically since the only witness, Judge, has already declared he was never there, the accuser can't remember the year, the house, who was there, how she got home or even where the party was at, how many were there or any other details that could be used in an investigation....those supporting her did not put forth even one response. One female atty pointed out that Maryland has no statute of limitations on sexual crimes and the accuser should file a complaint with the State of Maryland but has not done so. This act alone would force an investigation. Many used her friend as a credible witness but that witness went out the window today when questioned by none other than NPR, which has gone off the charts on this story this week. npr.org However, Miranda spoke to NPR on Thursday and clarified that she has no information about an alleged assault. “That it happened or not, I have no idea,” Cristina King Miranda told NPR’s Nina Totenberg. “I can’t say that it did or didn’t.” Miranda’s new statement directly contradicts her Facebook post, in which she wrote, “The incident DID happen, many of us heard about it in school.” “In my post, I was empowered and I was sure it probably did [happen],” Miranda told NPR this morning. “I had no idea that I would now have to go to the specifics and defend it before 50 cable channels and have my face spread all over MSNBC news and Twitter.”
