She was probably bipolar with an underlining issue of schizophrenia, not full blown. Unfortunately I have way to much experience with mental illness between my mom, my aunt and my uncle.

Your getting Bi polar confused with schizophrenia. Very rarely do people with Bipolar disorder have delusions unless its because of medication they are on and that can happen with medications for many different medical issues. If there are visions or altered reality there is a more serious issue then bi polar. My uncle was a good man, a great man but he had severe schizophrenia and if he wasn't medicated he thought he ws Jesus Christ and had people at a mental hospital following him around because they believed they were his disciples.

Do you know what bipolar is? I do, I have relatives with it. My mom had it so watch what you say Charles. It means there are days where you have no energy and days your feel like your on top of the world and it comes with massive mood swings. It doesn't make someone less credible and frankly I cant believe you would even say a thing like that, I thought you were a better person. I guess I was wrong.

Her, Feinstein and Booker.

A former boyfriend of Brett Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick has told lawmakers that he does not believe her claims that she saw Kavanaugh engage in sexually inappropriate conduct as a high school student in Maryland.

In a letter released by Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Dennis Ketterer, a former TV weatherman in Washington and a onetime Democratic congressional candidate, wrote that Swetnick "never said anything about being sexually assaulted, raped, gang-raped or having sex against her will" and "never mentioned Brett Kavanaugh in any capacity."

In his four-page letter, Ketterer says that he and Swetnick had a brief relationship in the 1990s, while Ketterer was having "marital problems" and at a time when Swetnick was "very sexually aggressive with me." He claims that in 1996, he called Swetnick's father in a bid to get her number with a view to "possibly bringing her on to help with my campaign."

"He told me that he had psychological and other problems at the time ... and said I wouldn't want her to work on my campaign," wrote Ketterer, who added that Swetnick's father hung up the phone when he pressed him for more information.

According to Ketterer, he was motivated to come forward after watching Thursday's dramatic Judiciary Committee hearing featuring Kavanaugh and another accuser, Christine Blasey Ford.

"As I watched part of the [hearing], and saw Mrs. Kavanaugh looking so sad I felt she needed to know that in this instance, her husband was being mischaracterized," said Ketterer, who added that he was sexually assaulted when he was nine years old.

"My heart still feels heavy, for me as well as Julie and the Kavanaughs," Ketterer's letter concludes. "That said, based on my direct experience with Julie, I do not believe her allegations against Mr. Kavanaugh."

In a letter released Tuesday and obtained by Fox News, an ex-boyfriend of Christine Blasey Ford, the California professor accusing Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, seemingly contradicts her testimony under oath last week that she had never helped anyone prepare for a polygraph examination.

The former boyfriend, whose name was redacted, also said Ford neither mentioned Kavanaugh nor said she was a victim of sexual misconduct during the time they were dating from about 1992 to 1998. He said he saw Ford helping a woman he believed was her "life-long best friend" prepare for a potential polygraph test. He added that the woman had been interviewing for jobs with the FBI and U.S. Attorney's office.

He also claimed Ford never voiced any fear of flying (even while aboard a propeller plane) and seemingly had no problem living in a small, 500 sq. ft. apartment with one door -- apparently contradicting her claims that she could not testify promptly in D.C. because she felt uncomfortable traveling on planes, as well as her suggestion that her memories of Kavanuagh's alleged assault prompted her to feel unsafe living in a closed space or one without a second front door.

Ford "never expressed a fear of closed quarters, tight spaces, or places with only one exit," the former boyfriend wrote. On Thursday, Ford testified, "I was hoping to avoid getting on an airplane. But I eventually was able to get up the gumption with the help of some friends and get on the plane." She also acknowledged regularly -- and, in her words, "unfortunately" -- traveling on planes for work and hobbies.

Ford also told Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that she had a second front door installed in her home because of "anxiety, phobia and PTSD-like symptoms" that she purportedly suffered in the wake of Kavanaugh's alleged attack at a house party in the 1980s -- "more especially, claustrophobia, panic and that type of thing."

In a pointed, no-holds-barred letter Tuesday evening that referenced the ex-boyfriend's declaration, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley demanded that attorneys for Ford turn over her therapist notes and other key materials, and suggested she was intentionally less than truthful about her experience with polygraph examinations during Thursday's dramatic Senate hearing.

"Your continued withholding of material evidence despite multiple requests is unacceptable as the Senate exercises its constitutional responsibility of advice and consent for a judicial nomination," Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote.
Under questioning from experienced sex-crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell last week, Ford said that she had "never" had "any discussions with anyone ... on how to take a polygraph" or "given any tips or advice to anyone who was looking to take a polygraph test." She repeatedly said the process was stressful and uncomfortable.

But in his declaration, the ex-boyfriend wrote that, "I witnessed Dr. Ford help [Monica L.] McLean prepare for a potential polygraph exam" and that Ford had "explained in detail what to expect, how polygraphs worked and helped [her] become familiar and less nervous about the exam," using her background in psychology.

Mitchell, in a report Sunday, said Ford's case was even weaker than the typical "He said, she said" situation and pointed out numerous discrepencies in her version of events in the past several weeks, concerning everything from how many people were at the purported party to when it occurred and how she found her way home. Mitchell also noted that none of the witnesses Ford identified as having attended the party could back up her version of events.

Some of the apparent inconsistencies, Grassley wrote, could possibly be addressed if Ford's legal team turned over all video or audio recordings produced during her own August polygraph examination. Ford passed that polygraph, and in a handwritten statement she wrote prior to the test, she indicated "there were 4 boys and a couple of girls" at the gathering.

But in Ford's letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., in July, she gave a different tally, writing instead that the party "included me and 4 others." Under oath on Thursday, Ford for the first time mentioned that a fourth boy was at the party, but that she could not remember his name.

Grassley also demanded Ford's attorneys hand over notes from her 2012 therapy sessions in which she claimed to have discussed her alleged sexual assault decades ago. The senator said it was "not justified" any longer for Ford to cite privacy and medical privilege given that she has relied on them extensively as a kind of corroborating evidence to implicate Kavanaugh.

On Thursday, Ford claimed she could not say definitively whether she had shared those notes with The Washington Post approximately two months ago, as opposed to describing them abstractly. The Post wrote that it had reviewed a "portion" of Ford's notes.

Additionally, Grassley requested copies of communications between Ford and the media describing her allegations, saying that the legal team's failure to provide Ford's full correspondence with The Washington Post suggested a "lack of candor."

In a separate letter to Democratic Sen. Chris Coons, who also sits on the Judiciary Committee, Grassley wrote, "The accuser freely admits to having no evidence whatsoever that Judge Kavanaugh even attended this party. … We’ve reached a new level of absurdity with this allegation."

The scathing letters come as Fox News has learned from a source that the FBI may wrap up its investigation into misconduct accusations against Kavanaugh as soon as late Wednesday, potentially clearing the way for a final Senate vote on his confirmation within days.

If the FBI's report is indeed delivered to the White House on Wednesday, Fox News expects a vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation could come as soon as Saturday. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., must first satisfy a number of procedural and parliamentary hurdles before a vote can be held, including filing a cloture petition, which must remain pending for a full day, in order to formally end debate on Kavanaugh's nomination. McConnell has vowed to hold a vote by the end of the week.

The uncorroborated sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh have faltered in recent days, as the credibility of his three most prominent accusers -- Ford, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick -- has come under question. Democrats increasingly have focused their arguments on Kavanaugh's temperament during Thursday's hearing, as well as whether he lied under oath about references in his high school yearbook.

Kavanaugh acknowleged sometimes having "too many" beers in high school and college, but some Democrats have suggested he lied by not going further and admitting that he had "blacked out." None of Kavanaugh's classmates has said he blacked out, although some have come forward to suggest it's likely that he did at some point.

For his part, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Monday called out what he said were transparent stall tactics in a fiery floor speech.

"If you listen carefully, Mr. President, you can practically hear the sounds of the Democrats moving the goalposts," McConnell said. He added later: "Their goalposts keep shifting. But their goal hasn't moved an inch. Not an inch."

Ford needs to be prosecuted and Feinstein needs to be at the very least censured if not expelled from the Senate.

The moment the full truth comes out on Ford the Democrats will abandon her, throw her under the bus and then back it over her

I love how the Democrats demand to comb through his yearbook but get a court order to block Obama's college records. Liberal hypocrisy right there.

I for one have been accused of something I haven't done and it dame near cost me my reputation and I reacted the same way, almost identical. I cried, then I exploded and I ripped everyone involved a new a$$hole.


I hope the day never comes where your falsely accused of something and if it does, I guarantee you will fight like hell to clear your name and you will be emotional.

Already a thread on this....

https://mingle2.com/topic/563383

I didn't wait 36 years. I waited a no more then two years and me coming forward led to two other victims being found.

Also, now that shes lied under oath, when she gets exposed do you think those same Democrats who set her up are going to be there for her? Nope, not only will they throw her under the bus but will also back over her with it.

I also speak as someone who has conducted interviews and interrogations for over 20 years now and hold many certifications have even taught seminars on it. She showed just about every sign of deception there is during her interview.


I maybe opinionated and wrong on other posts but one thing I am good at is what I do for a living, it's why companies are constantly trying to recruit me and am in negotiations for job that would be a major step up for my career.

She is regarded as one of the top sex crimes prosecutors in the country! Shes won numerous legal awards and is regarded as an expert in sex crimes, its why she was chosen. She's never been one to play politics.


I also am a victim and I remember every last detail if it happened yesterday.


Just because she was selected by the Republican chairman doesn't mean anything. I am a Republican and I didn't believe Roy Moore.

This is nothing more then a political hit job.

Rachel Mitchell, the sex-crimes prosecutor who questioned Dr. Christine Blasey Ford last week, wrote in a memo released late Sunday that there were inconsistencies in Ford's testimony and that-- given the information at hand-- she would not bring criminal charges against Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

She identified Ford's case as an example of “he said, she said,” and said her case is “even weaker than that.”

Ford, a California psychology professor, claims Kavanaugh assaulted her while at a house party in the 1980s when they were both teenagers. She said he pinned her to a bed, attempted to forcibly remove her clothes and prevented her from screaming.

Ford said she was "100 precent" certain that Kavanaugh was her attacker.
Kavanaugh has vehemently denied the allegations.

Mitchell, who worked as a sex-crimes prosecutor for nearly 25 years in Arizona, pointed out what she identified as timing inconsistencies. She wrote that Ford appeared to jump around on the timing of the alleged sexual assault, ranging from the “mid 1980s” to “early 1980s,” and then the “summer of 1982.”

“While it is common for victims to be uncertain about dates, Dr. Ford failed to explain how she was suddenly able to narrow the timeframe to a particular season and particular year,” she wrote.

Mitchell also pointed out that Ford has a history of struggling to name Kavanaugh as her attacker. Mitchell noted that his name was not in notes from her 2012 marriage therapy or her individual therapy in 2013.

Ford also appears unable to remember key elements about the incident, Mitchell wrote. She does not recall how she got to the party or back home and she does not remember the house where the alleged assault took place.

She said Ford’s account has not been corroborated by anyone who she identified as attending the party, including a “lifelong friend.”

Of course your opinion is he's guilty. To bad the opinion of the top sex crimes Prosecutors in the country said it was not believable and a case she would never charge let alone bring to trial.

Not to mention Senator Graham was also one of the top prosecutors in our country for many years. Even after elected to the Senate they activated him and sent him overseas to prosecute soldiers and to train other JAG prosecutors here in the states. I am glad she gave testimony under oath, now they can get her for perjury and I guarantee Senator Graham wont let this rest. We also have another top prosecutor in Washington, Congressman Gowdy. He was a nationally renowned prosecutor before he got elected featured on many shows like Forensic Files, American Justice, City Confidential etc. He prosecuted crimes that he was advised not to because he was told they were not winnable and he would win. Plus Feinstein, Booker and Harris wont stand behind Ford once the whole thing gets unraveled. They are going to go into CYA mode and not only throw her under the bus but they are going to back it over her.

You keep mentioning the lie detector and the therapist, do you realize that the lie detector test and the therapist contradict eachother? It's your blind hatred of anything Trump. Your grasping as straws and Liberal talking points.

Were they laughing when he created a dialogue with North Korea that ended the Korean War and got the remains of hundreds of dead soldiers returned to the United States and was personally waiting at the airport when they returned to the US? Were they laughing when North Korea started dismantling their Nuclear program? Were they laughing when we all but defeated ISIS?


Were they laughing when Trump lowered unemployment so much that even Kaepernick got a job?

He graduated with honors from the Whorton School which is one of the most prestigious business schools in the country.

Ummm, that's not exactly true. They can me impeached. Senators craft and pass laws and can over ride a Presidential veto or executive order. All three branches are created equal for a reason.

They are not Ex Agents unless they are fired. He is a retired Agent. He also was paid very well for that. Independent polygraph examiners charge an arm and a leg. He should have never accepted this job, he blew his career. Not for doing one for Ford but the way he conducted the polygraph. His credibility is now in the toilet.
