I did not know that. Interesting.

Wait. Bob Woodward went to Yale. So did Hillary Clinton. This must have been a plot to undermine Trump that was orchestrated by two of his arch-enemies.
Since they are both nearer to Trump’s age than Kavanaugh’s, they are probably the ones who bought booze for Brett and his buddies and then suggested very bad things for them to do so that thirty years later they could make things hard for that kid from Queens who was going to piss them off later.
I figured this out because I studied journalism under Ed Whelan.

Yes, in a pre-Masters of the Universe sort of way. Remember that many of the Greed is Good generation were working on Wall Street in the mid-late 1980’s–Young financiers on the loose.

Wow, no more mulligans for Turtle and the Gang!
"After giving it really careful consideration for six days, she decided to talk to [Ronan Farrow].”
Now, that’s a hard sell!

And Kavanaugh knew all about it in 1983!

That is certainly the pattern we have seen over the last couple of decades. One brave person speaks up, then a couple of others, and suddenly there is a flood. So I have been half expecting this ever since Blasey-Ford came forward. I didn’t completely dismiss that it was an isolated incident, but I also thought that if it was, it would likely be because Kavanaugh was horrified by his own behavior after he came out of his drunken blackout and vowed to walk the straight and narrow. But if that were the case, (1) he would vividly remember it and couldn’t honestly claim that it never happened; (2) he would have expressed some remorse toward Blasey-Ford at the time; and (3) he would also likely have either sworn off of alcohol completely, or used it very sparingly, which I don’t think is the case. (I think I remember reading lately that he is known as a ready drinker.)
So since he issued an adamant and absolute denial of the whole incident, has never expressed any remorse or apology, and still drinks rather liberally, I’m not surprised that he might have continued his boorish behavior in college. And that would also explain why he apparently was not willing to take any action when employees of the judge he was clerking for after he graduated from law school reported to him sexually inappropriate behavior on the part of the judge.

Right on!! As soon as it was revealed that a copy of McCabe’s emails was left with the FBI after the NYT printed this Rosenstein article I drew the conclusion that someone in the FBI sent it to the New York field office and the same bastards there who leaked the dis-info to Rudy about the Clinton emails leaked this out of context story to the same gullible hack at the NYT who wrote the story just before the election that there was no evidence of collusion between the dotard campaign and Russia. Shades of Judy Milleresque reporting that they just don’t seem able to rise above.

( I have had too cups of coffee, which makes me nitpicky, LOL):
But evidently not two nitpicky. 
Yeah; that’s what Bill Cosby says, too. And Harvey Weinstein. And Charlie Rose …

Grassley’s gonna need a much larger room for the hearings.
How long did it take them to finally call torture “torture?”
