US Politics

Edit: got through most of it.

The conclusions being draw from him arguing his case seem like a stretch and make it read like a loaded article.

This may seem like hair-splitting. But (1) “I don’t recall such a thing” should always raise suspicions and (2) Kavanaugh, for all his righteous weeping and insistence on his honesty, is not presenting the evidence accurately. He’s trying to suggest that it’s more unfavorable to Ford than it actually is. Saying “Everyone she says was there denies it” is far more effective than the truth: “Nobody she says was there remembers it, though one of them believes it happened.”

If you were giving evidence in this situation and you believed you had been wrongly accused, then you'd argue the case in your favour rather than the accusor.

Thanks. Perhaps the Democratic senators should also have engaged the services of a good criminal prosecutor; their own questioning seems inadequate.
