This Doesn’t Look Good: Business Was Listed Operating Out of Christine Ford’s Home – Would Explain Second Door by Jim Hoft September 30, 2018 504 Comments 1.0KShare 204Tweet Email Guest post by Joe Hoft Dr. Christina Ford testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee that she began having memories related to being abused years ago when she and her husband put a second front door on her house. As The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday — with photos — the second front door was installed years before she claimed in her testimony. Now it looks more likely that the second door was not related to any abuse at all. This may have been totally made up. In her testimony on Thursday, Dr. Ford stated that she put a second door on her house in 2012: Over the years, I told very, very few friends that I had this traumatic experience. I told my husband before we were married that I had experienced a sexual assault. I had never told the details to anyone — the specific details — until May 2012, during a couples counseling session. The reason this came up in counseling is that my husband and I had completed a very extensive, very long remodel of our home and I insisted on a second front door, an idea that he and others disagreed with and could not understand. We now have proof that this was a lie — a major lie. This was the basis for the entire story she told the US Senate Judiciary Committee under oath — And this was NOT TRUE. As noted previously Dr. Ford and her husband put the second front door on their house sometime after 2008. Ford’s house in 2007 – there was only one door pictured. Ford’s house in March 2011 – This clearly shows the second front door is already installed. Ford’s house in November 2011 – The second front door is there. Now it turns out that the second door may not have been put in because of Dr. Ford’s alleged groping by Supreme Court nominee Judge Kavanaugh. It may be more likely that the second door on the Ford house was installed to house renters or as a means for customers to visit a business set up in the house. There may have been a business running out of the household with the second front door. According to information found on the Internet, a business was located at the exact same address as the Ford house (please note that the address of this house was released on the Internet weeks ago). The Couples Research Center was located at the exact same location as the Ford’s home. It seems more plausible that the second door was put in place so a business could operate at the Ford house or so renters had separate quarters than due to some decades old memories of abuse. What is the real reason?

WSJ Can't Corroborate Kavanaugh Accuser's "Gang Bang" Account After "Dozens" Contacted by Tyler Durden Sun, 09/30/2018 - 13:45 0 SHARES After the FBI was instructed by the White House to interview two of the women who claim Judge Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted them - ignoring a third accuser represented by lawyer Michael Avenatti, The Wall Street Journal attempted to independently corroborate the 3rd accuser's story. Julie Swetnick - whose checkered past has called her character into question, alleges that Kavanaugh and a friend, Mark Judge, ran a date-rape "gang bang" operation at 10 high school parties she attended as an adult (yet never reported to the authorities). The allegations were posted by Avenatti over Twitter, which assert that Kavanaugh and Judge made efforts to cause girls "to become inebriated and disoriented so they could then be "gang raped" in a side room or bedroom by a "train" of numerous boys." To try and corroborate the story, the Wall Street Journal contacted "dozens of former classmates and colleagues," yet couldn't find anyone who knew about the rape parties. The Wall Street Journal has attempted to corroborate Ms. Swetnick’s account, contacting dozens of former classmates and colleagues, but couldn't reach anyone with knowledge of her allegations. No friends have come forward to publicly support her claims. - WSJ Soon after Swetnick's story went public, her character immediately fell under scrutiny - after Politico reports that Swetnick's ex-boyfriend, Richard Vinneccy - a registered Democrat, took out a restraining order against her, and says he has evidence that she's lying. "Right after I broke up with her, she was threatening my family, threatening my wife and threatening to do harm to my baby at that time," Vinneccy said in a telephone interview with POLITICO. "I know a lot about her." - Politico "I have a lot of facts, evidence, that what she’s saying is not true at all," he said. "I would rather speak to my attorney first before saying more." Avenatti called the claims "outrageous" and hilariously accused the press of "digging into the past" of a woman levying a claim against Kavanaugh from over 35 years ago. Swetnick will appear Sunday night in a TV interview with Showtime's The Circus - the first woman to levy claims against the Supreme Court nominee to do so. NBC's Morning Joe teased a clip of the interview Thursday, in which Swetnick calls for an investigation into the allegations against Kavanaugh. On Saturday, Mr. Avenatti, Ms. Swetnick’s lawyer, said on Twitter that he and his client hadn’t yet heard from the FBI, despite their repeated requests for an interview. Ms. Swetnick alleged earlier this week that Judge Kavanaugh attended a party in the early 1980s where she was gang-raped and that he tried to get women drunk at several gatherings so they could be targeted for sexual assault. - WSJ "It is critically important that the public be informed of any hidden effort to limit the scope of the FBI investigation," said Avenatti. "The scope should be unlimited and the FBI should be tasked with determining whether an allegation is credible—as they do every day in this country." Still waiting for a response to this. Still waiting for the FBI to contact me or my client. t.co — Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) September 30, 2018 NOW in @thedailybeast - @MichaelAvenatti blasts possible move by GOP to limit scope of #FBIKavanaughinvestigation - excluding his client’s allegations against #BrettKavanaugh -Vows to "take the facts" to the American peoplehttps://t.co/5A3tZjsSfD #nhpolitics #SCOTUSNomination pic.twitter.com/mUYe5NeXTb — Paul Steinhauser (@steinhauserNH1) September 30, 2018 Kavanaugh's first two accusers, Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, have accused Kavanugh of groping and exposing himself respectively. On Friday, Republican Senator Jeff Flake attempted to stall a Judiciary Committee vote on Kavanaugh pending an FBI investigation, only to have Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) cut him off and call a snap vote, advancing the nomination to the full Senate floor. Flake then vowed to vote no on the full floor decision, and was joined by GOP Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, just one day after Dianne Feinstein cornered her in a hallway for an apparent "talking to." [url=][/url] While walking into Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's office, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, a key vote, said "yes," when asked if she supports Sen. Jeff Flake's proposal for a delay. CNN asked: And do you think it should be limited to Ford’s accusations or should it include an investigation into other allegations? Murkowski responded: "I support the FBI having an opportunity to bring some closure to this." - CNN An official with the Trump administration said the reopening of Kavanaugh's FBI background check was being handled "as any update to a background investigation would be handled if new, derogatory information is introduced." "The FBI field agents will investigate this as they typically do under the constraints of there being new, derogatory information," the official said. "They’re not going to go on a fishing expedition." Trump told reporders on Saturday that the White House gave the FBI "free reign" in the Kavanaugh inquiry to "do whatever they had to do, whatever it is that they do." "Having them do a thorough investigation, I actually think it will be a blessing in disguise," Trump said. "It will be a good thing." This would contradict Trump's claims today that "they," the FBI, "have free reign" to do a "thorough investigation" t.co — Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) September 29, 2018 "The White House is not micromanaging this process," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in an interview with Fox News Sunday. . @PressSec claims Kavanaugh's testimony was "equally heartbreaking" to Ford's. Sanders then says the most "disgraceful and disgusting" thing about Ford's sexual story isn't the sexual assault, but is "the way the Democrats have allowed this process to play out." pic.twitter.com/8z3Mb8O19t — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 30, 2018 That said, the Journal notes that just because the FBI wasn't granted the authority to interview Swetnick doesn't mean they can't ask other witnesses about her allegations.

BREAKING: Kavanaugh Classmate at Yale Sent Tip to Judiciary Committee Identifying Frat Brother Who Likely Exposed Himself to Ramirez by Cristina Laila September 30, 2018 23 Comments *The New Yorker* dropped a story last Sunday night of a second woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of lewd behavior over 30 years ago at a Yale party.** The 53-year-old accuser, Deborah Ramirez told The New Yorker that she was initially hesitant to speak out because she was drunk at the time and her memory had gaps. She spent six days “carefully assessing her memories” and consulting with her attorney before going public. This is amazing —two male students who were allegedly at the party, the wife of another male student, and three other Yale classmates all told Ronan Farrow that there is no way Kavanaugh assaulted Ramirez. The New Yorker ran with the story anyway without any credible evidence only wild 30-year-old accusations from a drunk. It was so bad The New York Times turned the story down. A Yale classmate and roommate of Ramirez even told CNN’s Chris Cuomo last week that even though she saw Kavanaugh party in college, she never saw him be sexually aggressive. Now this… Another case of perhaps mistaken identity? A Yale classmate of Brett Kavanaugh’s sent the Senate Judiciary Committee a tip this weekend identifying a fraternity brother who may have been the one who exposed himself to Deborah Ramirez, according to investigative reporter, Paul Sperry. SPERRY: BREAKING: A classmate of Kavanaugh’s at Yale has sent a tip into the Senate Judiciary Committee identifying a fraternity brother known for exposing himself as the likely boy who exposed himself to Debbie Ramirez BREAKING: A classmate of Kavanaugh's at Yale has sent a tip into the Senate Judiciary Committee identifying a fraternity brother known for exposing himself as the likely boy who exposed himself to Debbie Ramirez — Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) September 30, 2018 The FBI has been permitted to investigate allegations brought forth by Christine Ford and Deborah Ramirez after Senator Flake threw the SCOTUS vote into chaos Friday morning demanding an FBI probe of Kavanaugh prior to a full Senate floor vote.
