When
California psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford made the allegations in a
letter to pro-abortion Senator Diane Feinstein that Supreme Court nominee Brett
Kavanaugh supposedly sexually assaulted her, she said four people were
allegedly at the party where it happened.
Ford
made the allegations in a letter to pro-abortion Senator Diane Feinstein. The
abortion activist held the letter since July from Ford detailing an alleged
attack on her by Kavanaugh when they were in high school three decades ago.
Suspiciously, Feinstein remained silent through the confirmation process and
hearings until just days before a scheduled vote on his nomination.
Kavanaugh
and alleged witness Mark Judge both said the sexual assault never took place. And now a third witness also says it never happened.
Now a third alleged attendee, another
Kavanaugh high school classmate named Patrick J. Smyth, has provided a letter
to the Senate Judiciary Committee rebutting Ford’s story.
Now, Patrick J. Smyth, an individual who
understands himself to be one of the alleged attendees of the alleged
gathering, has provided a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee in which
he–like Kavanaugh and Judge–denies Ford’s story.
The substance of this letter, written by
Smyth’s lawyer Eric Bruce, was first reported by CNN on Wednesday morning. The
Senate Judiciary Committee confirmed to CNSNews.com that it did in fact receive
the letter on Tuesday evening.
The letter, as reported by CNN, included a statement from Smyth rebutting
Ford’s alleged claim that he was at a gathering like the one she described to
the Post.
As reported by CNN, the quotes from Smyth as
cited in his lawyer’s letter to the Judiciary Committee, are as follows:
“I understand that I have been identified by Christine Blasey
Ford as the person she remembers as ‘PJ’ who supposedly was present at the
party she described in her statements to the Washington Post. … I am issuing
this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge
of the party in question, nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of
improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh.
“Personally speaking, I have known Brett Kavanaugh since high
school and I know him to be a person of great integrity, a great friend, and I
have never witnessed any improper conduct by Brett Kavanaugh toward women. To
safeguard my own privacy and anonymity, I respectfully request that the
Committee accept this statement in response to any inquiry the committee may
have.”
Meanwhile,
Ford is now refusing to testify during a Senate
hearing planned for Monday. The Senate Judiciary Committee has announced a
hearing on Monday judge Brett Kavanaugh to clear his name of the false
allegations that he supposedly sexually assaulted a woman 35 years ago.
But
more recent information has confirmed both the woman leveling the allegation
that Ford and her attorney are Democratic Party activists.
For and her attorney Debra Katz have not only donated to Democrats,
but also recently signed on to a Physicians for Human Rights letter
protesting the Trump administration’s immigration policy.
Few
media outlets have confronted Katz on her own Democratic activism.
In 2017, Katz labeled all senior Trump administration officials to be
“miscreants.” Hypocritically, she also staunchly and repeatedly defended Bill
Clinton against claims of sexual harassment made by Paula Jones in the 1990s.
Meanwhile,
news is surfacing that calls into question the credibility of Ford’s story,
which has apparently changed dramatically over the years. News reports indicate
she can’t even remember the location or year of the alleged attack.
Additionally,
Ford’s brother, Ralph Blasey III, once worked for the law firm of Baker &
Hostetler LLP, but left that firm in 2004. The Daily Caller
reported that Baker & Hostetler paid a company called Fusion GPS seven
payments totaling more than a half million dollars in 2016. Fusion GPS was also
the shadowy Democrat “dirty tricks” group hired by Planned Parenthood to
produce the fake forensic analysis
that supposedly “debunked” the Center for Medical Progress’ undercover videos.
And a
peer and friend who knew Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as a high school
student is vouching for his character amid
accusations from a woman that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were
teens.
According
to documents on file with the Maryland
Court System, Ford’s parents, Ralph G. and Paula K. Blasey owned
property that was in foreclosure. The judge who presided over that case was
Brett Kavanaugh’s mother, Martha G. Kavanaugh.
In a
statement after the allegations surfaced, Kavanaugh refuted the 11th-hour smear campaign
made by Senate Democrats and abortion advocates who are desperately hoping to
tarnish his image in advance of a Senate Judiciary Committee vote on his
nomination. Kavanaugh said the claims are totally false
and he offered to speak with the Senate Judiciary Committee about the claim
made by Christine Blasey Ford.
“This is a completely false allegation. I have
never done anything like what the accuser describes — to her or to anyone,”
Kavanaugh said in a statement. “Because this never happened, I had no idea who
was making this accusation until she identified herself yesterday.”
“I am willing to talk to the Senate Judiciary
Committee in any way the committee deems appropriate to refute this false
allegation, from 36 years ago, and defend my integrity,” he said in his
statement.
Ford told the Washington Post in an interview
published Sunday that Kavanaugh held her on a bed on her back during a party at
a house in Maryland. Ford accused Kavanaugh of groping her over her clothes and
said he tried to undress her. She was able to escape the bedroom when
Kavanaugh’s classmate jumped on them, Ford said.
Kavanaugh unequivocally denied the allegation in a statement last week, though at that
time, his accuser remained anonymous.
The New
Yorker reported that
the incident allegedly occurred in the early 1980s, when Kavanaugh was a
student at Georgetown Preparatory School, an all-boys school in Bethesda, Md.
The woman, meanwhile, went to a local high school.
The
woman said in a letter sent to Democratic lawmakers this summer that during a
party, Kavanaugh held her down and tried to force himself on her, according to
The New Yorker.
Kavanaugh
and his classmate, who were drinking, increased the volume of the music that
was playing to hide her protests, the letter reportedly says. Kavanaugh
allegedly used his hand to cover the woman’s mouth, before she was able to
escape.
“I
categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation,” Kavanaugh said in a
statement. “I did not do this back in high school or at any time.”
The
classmate of Kavanaugh’s who was allegedly involved in the encounter said, “I
have no recollection of that,” according to The New Yorker.
But
other women who knew Judge Kavanaugh during that time period vouch for his
character and high moral standard.
Shortly after the details of the letter were
made public by The New Yorker, the Senate Judiciary Committee shared a letter
it received Friday from 65 women who knew Kavanaugh during their high school
years.
“Through the more than 35 years we have known him, Brett has
stood out for his friendship, character, and integrity,” the women wrote. “In
particular, he has always treated women with decency and respect. That was true
when he was in high school, and it has remained true to this day.”
This
dustup followed on the heels of Senate Democrats getting caught lying about
Kavanaugh. Since Kavanaugh’s hearings last week, numerous fact checks and
advice to “drop the whopper of a talking point” from
one of the largest newspapers in America have not stopped pro-abortion
politicians from repeating false claims about U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett
Kavanaugh.
The
lies about Kavanaugh’s birth control beliefs began with U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris of California
and continued with two-time failed presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton. The Washington Post, Politifact and others
refuted their claims that Kavanaugh called birth control “abortion-inducing
drugs,” but the pro-abortion politicians continue to push the lie.
This
week, Kavanaugh also responded to the claims by
clarifying what he meant when he used the term “abortion-inducing drugs” last
week during the U.S. Senate hearings.
Abortion
activists fear Kavanaugh, who has served on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
for D.C. for more than a decade. He has an extensive record of protecting religious
liberty, including in the Priests for Life case, and enforcing restrictions on
abortion. Pro-life leaders believe he would do the same on the
Supreme Court.
Meanwhile,
Sen. Susan Collins’ office says it has received threats of rape and other
violence from abortion activists who want her to vote against U.S. Supreme
Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The
Maine Republican is a key swing vote in Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Collins is
pro-abortion, and she has not yet announced her decision
about him.
Over
the past few months, NARAL, Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups have been targeting her with phone calls,
political ads, fundraising for a pro-abortion Democrat opponent and a coat
hanger campaign; but these attempts to influence may have the opposite effect.
Collins
told reporters this week that her office has received a number of threatening
phone calls and other messages, including one caller who threatened to rape one
of her female staffers.
Under
questioning from pro-life Senator Lindsey Graham, Kavanaugh confirmed there is no “specific” right to
abortion in the Constitution.
“Is
there any phrase in the Constitution about abortion?” Graham asked Kavanaugh.
“The
Supreme Court has found that under the liberty clause, but you’re right that
specific words,” Kavanaugh said before stopping as Graham continued. Kavanaugh
clearly was beginning to admit Graham’s point that abortion or a right to
abortion is never specifically addressed in the Constitution — but was made up
by the Supreme Court in 1973.
During
his nomination hearings, Judge Kavanaugh was been careful to discuss abortion
within the context of what the Supreme Court has decided in the
precedent-setting cases of Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood without
biasing the hearings with his own views in a way that would force him to recuse
himself in future abortion cases before the court.
During
the first day of questioning, Judge Brett Kavanaugh refused to say that there is a
so-called right to abortion. He declined to take the bait from
pro-abortion Senator Dianne Feinstein who wants to get him to commit to
upholding Roe v Wade once he is confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Kavanaugh also refused a pro-abortion senator’s request
to promise to never overturn Roe v Wade, the
high court case allowing abortions up to birth.
