However, my impression: The "15 year old girl" within the grown-up Professor, exuded nothing but fear and honesty.

Thus, I'm more convinced: A "blacked-out" Brett Kavanaugh could have done this. Will he now continue the charade, one of pubescent piety?
Trump's calling her credible.
I guess he is covering all bases.

Thank you Tom for your insight.
What's your opinion on the sun rising tomorrow?

Alright, so this is a much lower standard...

Basically, if someone can simply convincingly hold together a fragment of a story without any details against someone, they should be disqualified from office?

Is that what you are saying?

OR what is the standard, Duchy?

I already stated that it doesn't mean she lied about everything, but it shows she is dishonest and that takes away from her credibility. If a person (especially a psychologist) wants to be believed they should not lie about things that are completely optional and for manipulation purposes only.

The fact that nobody said they heard about Blasey’s assault around the time it occurred, Broaddrick said, is why she finds it unbelievable. “You compare that with mine ― data, dates, people I told, injuries,” she said, referring to her claim that Clinton bit her lip.

“I think she’s casting a very dark shadow on real victims,” Broaddrick said.
