1. She cannot provide any details about when and where the assault occurred making it impossible to corroborate or disprove her story.  Even worse, she has given different accounts about how old she was.  She also claims she was not inebriated.  Now I don't know about you but I can remember all the details of much less traumatic experiences in my life, let alone the most traumatic.  I believe she either is making this up out of whole cloth or it happened with someone else and if she provides the details and where and when then those really involved could come forward.

2.  She told no one that this happened until after her memory was "recovered" during counseling in 2012.  Not her best friend or her Mom or anyone else.  For something so traumatic you would think she would have told someone, especially a friend.  And yet not one has come forward to support her claims.

3.  All the other people she identified as having been there have denied it was true, including her self-described life-long friend who would have no culpability and no reason to lie and every reason to tell the truth.  And all of them have declared this under penalty of perjury.  The only one that hasn't is Ford herself who wisely sent her letter to her congresswoman and not her Senator who was on the Judicial Committee because that would expose her to perjury.

4.  Her immediate family is not supporting her.  It's mostly her husband's family that seem to be behind her.  One has to ask why her most immediate family refused to participate in a letter of support.  Neither of her parents nor her brothers signed the letter of support.  One has to wonder why.

5.  Every attempt she made to find contemporaneous corroboration has failed.  She called her friends from high school all summer and no joy.  She has belatedly found friends who claim she told them about it after 2012, all of whom are also partisan Democrats and are simply parroting what she allegedly told them.  Sorry, but that doesn't trump contemporaneous recollections at odds with her alleged claims to others 30 years later.

6. She is a partisan who is rabidly anti-Trump.  She tried to hide her motivation by lamely scrubbing her social media of her pu$$y hat wearing antics and other social justice warrior nonsense.  And the people she has hired to advise her are likewise highly partisan hacks.

7.  She claimed in the WaPo piece that she was upset Trump won in 2016 because Kavanaugh was mentioned as a potential pick for SCOTUS.  Except Kavanaugh was not on the original list of 11 and wasn't even mentioned until 2017.  Nice lie and further evidence that she is not to be believed.

8.  She claims her therapists notes corroborate her story but Kavanaugh was not mentioned in them.  And the notes themselves contradict her later story about who was present.  It makes one wonder if her recollection was a convenient excuse for being a dysfunctional spouse.

9.  Her actions and those of others since this began violate all the reasonable criteria for the credibility of her allegation.  She initially used the press instead of the process. The timing of the allegation was scripted to their advantage.  She has attacked the process instead of participating.  They have attempted to alter the process so that BK cannot defend himself.  She sought to have BK defend himself before she even made her claims.  The accused and those that she claimed to be there have vigorously denied it ever happened.  She has made unusual demands to modify or control the process.  This all came up after BK was identified as a SCOTUS nominee in the media.  The only corroborating witnesses are simply repeating what she told them.  These are all red flags that investigators of sex crimes use to determine whether the allegation is false.  She violates every single one of them.
