So I’m reading the new anti-Kavanaugh book by shockingly (really) biased reporters at NYT. All claimed anonymous sources are anti-Kavanaugh while all but a tiny few on-record sources are downright effusive. Just interesting how highly they contradict each other.

Just read anonymous anecdote — written in high dudgeon — that Kavanaugh once hit a “pickup truck with his hands” during night out at college with his friends. It made @Heminator and me laugh.

I’m now reading about how a woman raised in Connecticut WHO WENT TO YALE lacked privilege. I get the authors are super-elites but uh ....this rural Colorado girl who went to a state school on her own dime would like a word.

At least thus far, Ramirez doesn’t accuse Kavanaugh of anything tangible. Same as original New Yorker in which nothing was actually alleged. Just carefully suggested. Yet in NYT today, authors alleged penis thrusting. Curious what basis for charge is. Important to focus on facts.

Supporting evidence for this nothing story with no witnesses despite taking place, supposedly, at a large public event? Literally nothing. But she did tell mom, allegedly, years later, and I quote: “something happened at Yale.”

The authors of the “investigation” “report” that leftist Congresswoman Anna Eshoo found no partisan agenda in leftist accuser Blasey Ford. (her attorney later admitted on video she was motivated by her support of abortion)

I’m actually kind of enjoying how bad this is

They are trying to say she is apolitical and even a former Republican (her friends reported she was “crazy liberal” on social media prior to a professional scrub last year) ... before admitting she literally took part in a pussy hat March. I’m not exaggerating.

First interesting news in the book? Facebook COO Sheryl Sandburg was helping Blasey Ford.

I haven’t really complained about lack of corporate media coverage of our exhaustively reported and researched book. In part because it’s a huge bestseller, so it seems wrong. But comparing it to the coverage of this (*shockingly* weak) book is making me want to complain.

The book notes, quietly, that the woman Max Stier named as having been supposedly victimized by Kavanaugh and friends denies any memory of the alleged event. Seems, I don’t know, significant.

Authors go after Kavanaugh as “disingenuous” for quoting incendiary things said **about him** by Senate Democrats while ignoring that Trump had said “acidic” and “denigrating” things like when he “belittled the North Korean leader Kim Jong-in.” Really.

Leland Keyser, the sole female witness named by Christine Blasey Ford is quoted by NYT reporters saying "I don't have any confidence in the story." We previously published the full explosive details in Justice on Trial.

The NYT reporters, it goes without saying, downplay the significance of this and all the other many facts/stories/quotes/details that cast doubt on the unsupported allegations against Kavanaugh.
