(THREAD) The GOP claim that there's no corroboration of Dr. Ford's allegation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her is a lie. Corroborating evidence—evidence that tends to support a proposition—already exists. I'll detail as much of it as I can. I hope you'll read on and RETWEET.

100/ Never forget that McConnell *told* Trump *not* to nominate Kavanaugh—he *told* Trump Kavanaugh would have trouble. Trump nominated him *anyway* because Kavanaugh was the one nominee who opposed presidents getting investigated. And *that's* what this is about—in the end. /end

PS/ Apologies to everyone for the *many* pieces of CORROBORATION I left out of this thread—there were too many to fit in here. My hope is I covered a lot of ground, regardless. I'm hopeful that people will RETWEET this thread so readers can add more CORROBORATION in the comments.

NOTE/ I didn't forget the fourth accuser. To my knowledge, no followup has been done on that allegation and it hasn't been retracted.The GOP appeared to leak a fifth allegation—from Rhode Island—just so they and Kavanaugh could discredit it, but I think the fourth one is active.

BREAKING/ Chad Ludington—a Kavanaugh drinking buddy at Yale—has issued a statement not only calling Kavanaugh a liar about his drinking but CORROBORATING Dr. Ford on Kavanaugh getting violent and incoherent when drinking and Julie Swetnick on Kavanaugh using alcohol besides beer.

NOTE2/ Ludington's comment about Kavanaugh getting drunk off more than beer is critical to Swetnick's claims that Kavanaugh spiked drinks with (non-beer) alcohol. Moreover, Ludington (a) says Kavanaugh lied to Congress (perjury), and (b) specifically says he lied about blackouts.

I can see why this video has over a million views—it's a trip. Seeing the opportunities in the pairing of Future Islands and Don Bluth's best work takes a special sort of genius that we should do more to recognize in the digital age. Anyway—goodnight all. youtube.com/watch?v=oECMdF…

NOTE4/ I left out *another* huge fact: any disclosure that Dr. Ford made to a member of Congress, a congressional aide, or a member of the media *before Kavanaugh was the nominee* is considered a prior disclosure. That adds at least 3 prior disclosures—so the total is at least 6.

NOTE5/ Remember that *every* documented prior disclosure by Dr. Ford is a *critical* piece of CORROBORATION—as is everything else in this thread *and* even subtle things like Dr. Ford and Kavanaugh's wildly differing body language and temperament under oath. Yes—that matters too.

UPDATES/ Dr. Ford's allegation is also CORROBORATED by three more prior disclosures I hadn't seen and a second one to her husband—bringing the *minimum* number of prior disclosures to *ten*. Also, Kavanaugh lied about *not* being a legacy student at Yale. google.com/amp/s/www.news…

"It's not an investigation if the FBI is going to accept the dictates of the White House in terms of who you can interview and who you can't," John Mindermann, a former FBI special agent who investigated the Watergate break-in, said. washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-lin…

UPDATES/ People are noting another Kavanaugh lie Mark Judge could be asked about: whether Kavanaugh, Judge, and others actually formed, as Kavanaugh says, a "Ralph [vomiting] Club" for vomiting after spicy food—as Kavanaugh implausibly says—rather than excessive beer consumption.

UPDATES/ Ford says there was a fourth male in the house during the assault whose name she can't recall. That's CORROBORATED if this was the event at "Timmy" Gaudette's house, per Kavanaugh's 7/1/82 calendar entry. The FBI could check that house's floorplan for more CORROBORATION.

If Kavanaugh is confirmed, it sends a signal to all future Supreme Court nominees that you can perjure yourself before Congress *more than twenty times* in your hearings and it'll be regarded as irrelevant to senators' decision on whether to vote for you. How dangerous is *that*?

NOTE: On January 23, 1999, Lindsey Graham told the United States Senate that if a judge commits perjury *even once* he must be immediately impeached. See the video at below at 3 minutes, 18 seconds. Either Graham was lying then or he's lying now. (h/t DM) c-span.org/video/?c459451…

Trump says he wants whatever kind of supplemental FBI investigation of Kavanaugh that Senate Republicans want Senate Republicans don’t want a supplemental FBI investigation of Kavanaugh
