"We want to go through a full process...and hear everybody out."
"He is one of the great intellects and one of the finest people....I'd like everybody to be very happy."

Good morning from inside the media room at the USDC Eastern District of Virginia. Bijan Kian's status conference with Judge Trenga gets underway this morning at 10AM. Story to come @CourthouseNews. Trial set for Feb, so today I'm expecting negotiating around docs/schedule etc.
Friendly reminder for those new to USDC EDVA coverage - while there is a media room, there isn't a closed circuit TV feeding the activity in the courtroom down to reporters. That means I can only update once out of the courtroom. Stay tuned.
Story is online and it will be updated: courthousenews.com/ex-flynn-assoc…

As we move into the #Kavanaugh investigation, I want to have a chat about false allegations. From my experience, this is the #1 topic that is misunderstood by the general public and I want to address some of that confusion.
It's worth knowing that academics don't take "false allegations" too seriously. The reason for that is that they're really rare. False allegations of sexual assault are no more common that any other crime--and some studies have found that they're rarer. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
And as a former victim advocate, I can say that false allegations are easier to root out than most people think. Details don't match up or stories are too perfect. The allegations fall apart easily and the accusers often come clean.

Christine Blasey Ford listens to Judiciary GOP chair Grassley falsely claim he’s done everything possible for a fair process and it’s Democrats who obstruct. He falsely equates what she’s been thru w/ Kavanaugh, falsely says Senate has already investigated so FBI doesn’t have to.
Dr Blasey Ford’s voice breaks detailing her sexual assault by Kavanaugh. “I believed he was going to rape me. I was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone… I tried to suppress it b/c recounting it caused panic and anxiety.” She’s breathing heavily, powering thru. What a hero.
Blasey Ford is being essentially cross-examined by Maricopa County Arizona sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell. Mitchell asks if her texts to WaPo & her letter to Senator Feinstein are accurate.

1. Woke up 3hrs too early, queasy and stressed. 2mins from now, we will likely be witness to a national misogynistic sham so deep and so blatant as to prove once and for all that the powerbrokers of US government do not believe women are human. #Kavanaugh #BelieveSurvivors #RAGE
2. I'll prob livetweet #Kavanaugh hearing, but I feel physically ill over how they've stacked the deck against #ChristinaBlaseyFord, ignored #JulieSwetnick's gang rape allegations, demonized #DeborahRamirez. How many more rapes will happen bec Trump &GOP brand claim women liars.
3. 0 reason other than corruption, misogyny, and partisanship for having no witnesses, no FBI investigation. Yet hypocrite Grassley, opens saying he wants a "Safe, comfortable, and dignified" hearing and a "show of civility"--then immediately misrepresents the issues. #Kavanaugh

I'm a sociologist who studies adolescent sexual violence. On this thread, I will be live tweeting the #Kavanaugh hearing, chiming in with sociological insights and research findings.
Full disclosure--I will probably step away for parts of it. While many conservatives have cast feminists as people who rejoice at allegations of sexual assault against powerful men, this is a painful process for us. We know survivors. We are survivors. And I will need breaks.
It does not bode well that the beginning of this hearing is starting with equating #Kavanaugh and #Ford's experiences with harassment following Dr. Ford's allegations. They are absolutely not the same.

POTUS calls Kavanaugh "an outstanding intellect. An outstanding judge. Respected by everybody. Never even had a little blemish on his record. The FBI has I think gone through a process six times with him over the years where he went to higher and higher positions...
2/"...He is somebody very special. At the same time, we want to go through a process. We want to make sure everything is perfect, everything is just right. I wish the Democrats could have done this a lot sooner, because they had this information for many months....
3/ "...And they shouldn’t have waited til literally the last days. They should have done it a lot sooner. But with all of that being said we want to go through the process."

TRUMP: "Judge Kavanaugh is one of the finest people I have ever known... never had even a little blemish on his record... At the same time, we want to go through a process. We want to make sure everything is perfect... [but] I wish the Democrats could've done this a lot sooner."
Trump repeatedly attacks Feinstein for not going public with assault accusation sooner: "They had the information in July, as I understand it. That's a long time ago. And nobody mentioned it until the other day. It's very unfortunate they didn't mention it sooner."
Trump brusquely dismisses a question about Kavanaugh possibly withdrawing as "ridiculous"
