I highly suggest reading the whistleblower's account firsthand and then taking in commentary when you are finished (this is very much the historian in me saying this but it's a hell of a document) intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
It is a straight up lie that the allegations in the complaint are separate from the memo of the call, as Rep. Turner said. Again, I suggest everyone read the complaint so they have a working knowledge of this stuff from the source.
It's WILD to me that Republicans are trying to go after the credibility of the complaint when we've all seen the memo of the call and the complaint, and they match. I assume they hope most of the public will hear their question rather than reading the documents for themselves.

Reading old SI articles is a trip. From a piece in 1993: "Former Houston coach John Jenkins, it came to light last winter, spliced footage of bare-breasted women into practice film. (You know, "Win one for the Stripper," and all that.)"
Oh, wow. 1993 didn't even know: "And Paterno's career at Penn State has been sullied by a spate of off-the-field incidents involving Nittany Lions, all duly recorded in the central Pennsylvania press."
I'm down a rabbit hole. A 2001 SI article: "Any coach who has been coaching for 10 years and says he never fell in love with an athlete or vice versa is lying," John Leonard, executive director of the American Swimming Coaches
Association (ASCA), told the NYT in 1993"

the woman got a second front door
so much of the second part of the hearing was about how this will affect Kavanaugh's future and I just keep thinking about how 30 years later, she got a second front door
she got a second front door because she's 100% sure that in high school, while he was laughing with a buddy, she thought Brett Kavanaugh might accidentally kill her while he was assaulting her

Can we talk for a minute about my senator -- @JohnCornyn -- and his response to Dr. Ford? "There are some gaps there that need to be filled," he said today, referring to Dr. Ford's account from the early 1980s and her testifying publicly next week.
“The problem is, Dr. Ford can’t remember when it was, where it was, or how it came to be," @JohnCornyn says. IS THAT THE PROBLEM?
Not that he will or that he cares at all about sexual assault survivors, but @JohnCornyn, before he gets on his high horse, should do just a little bit of reading about trauma and brains and memory and violence.
