This seems like a pretty substantial untruth. Why would Dr. Ford lie to 2 different therapists 6 years ago, that is quite the long game for a set up. Why would she also implicate the douchebag Judge character, he could easily corraborate anything Kavannaugh says to get him off. In my opinion it just doesnt make sense for her to make up this particular accuation.
I am seeing an awful lot of--sexual assault as a 17 year old shouldn't count against a 53 year old, if that is the case then Kavannaugh needs to come out and admit it and make amends. Show real character, dont be a coward and lie about it.
