As of this writing, Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser has been granted a 5th extension to keep delaying her testimony before the Senate. Mrs. Ford had her lawyers attack Senator Grassley late last night and demand more time, after they’ve already been given concessions no other witness before the Senate would ever get. He happily obliged of course because that’s what Republicans do.

I digress.

I’ve noticed something. Among the constant excuses being given for why she can’t just show up and tell the Senate her story, Mrs. Ford apparently has no problem constantly talking the media. The Washington Post appears to have a direct line, as they’ve been pumping out puff pieces on her as fast as they can print them.

The latest is a piece in which we are supposed to believe that she’s so traumatized that she sought to leave the country after Trump was elected, fearing he’d nominate Kavanaugh to the bench.

Kavanaugh — a judge on the prestigious U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia — was among those mentioned as a possible replacement for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in 2016. When Trump nominated Neil M. Gorsuch, Ford was relieved but still uneasy… Ford had already moved 3,000 miles away from the affluent Maryland suburbs where she says Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a house party — a charge he would emphatically deny. Suddenly, living in California didn’t seem far enough. Maybe another hemisphere would be. She went online to research other democracies where her family might settle, including New Zealand. “She was like, ‘I can’t deal with this. If he becomes the nominee, then I’m moving to another country. I cannot live in this country if he’s in the Supreme Court,’ ” her husband said. “She wanted out.”

How convenient that these kinds of claims only come out as she’s waffling on testifying. The game is clear. The more ancillary claims like this are spread, the more the media hope you’ll buy her story. I mean, she claims she wanted to leave the country back in 2016, how can she be lying?

On Sunday, Ford noticed that — even before her name became public — Whelan appeared to be seeking information about her. That morning, Ford alerted an associate via email that Whelan had looked at her LinkedIn page, according to the email, which was reviewed by The Post. LinkedIn allows some subscribers to see who views their pages. Ford sent the email about 90 minutes after The Post shared her name with a White House spokesman and hours before her identity was revealed in a story posted on its website.

Do they actually share the email that supposedly corroborates this account? No. It’s also not surprising that people knew who she was before it went public. The letter had been circulating for over a month and Whelan being tipped off isn’t much of a scandal.

The media are just disgusting in how they are playing this. They’ve taken a respectable man like Judge Kavanaugh and then decided they’ll print basically anything if it can shine a negative light on him. Unsubstantiated claims from the accuser? Random think-pieces claiming that because something happened to someone else, Ford must be telling the truth? Anything is fit to print in their eyes.

More so though, I find it highly suspicious that someone who claims to be so traumatized that they can’t do even basic things to secure their testimony has no problem running the press constantly to help build her narrative. You’d almost think this is political?
