The credibility of Kavanaugh's accuser and the character of today's Democrats

Ford's Accusation against Kavanaugh Is Not Credible  . . . First, why, if this happened, didn't this 15-year-old girl immediately tell her parents that she was attacked and then report to the police?  The police could then have questioned everyone at the "gathering."  She says she thought Kavanaugh would inadvertently kill her, yet she does not report this to her parents and the police?  This isn't credible.  According to the Post, her explanation is as follows:
My biggest fear was, do I look like someone just attacked me?  I'm not ever telling anyone this.  This is nothing, it didn't happen, and he didn't rape me.
"Her parents would not believe her because she didn't look as though someone had attacked her?  What parents will not believe their 15-year-old daughter who runs home to tell them drunken boys tried to rape her?
"Second, Kavanaugh has been investigated by the FBI for appointments to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, White House counsel, and other federal jobs.  Why didn't Ford call the FBI so the FBI could investigate Kavanaugh?
"Third, Mark Judge has denied the accusation.
"Fourth, according to her husband, the motivation for telling the therapist in 2012 was that Kavanaugh might be appointed to the Supreme Court.  This shows political motivation: she does not want Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, although she did not care that he was on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
"Fifth, why write to a "local government representative" on July 6, 2018 and then Feinstein on July 30, 2018 instead of contacting the FBI?  The "local" Democrat and Feinstein should have immediately referred this to the FBI for investigation.  Feinstein should have immediately shared the letter with the entire Judiciary Committee so members could question Kavanaugh.  Instead, Feinstein played a political game to wait for an ambush." . . .

Thomas Lifson asks: Is the Democrats’ Ford gambit falling apart already?  "Senator Dianne Feinstein, the very solon who made public the accusation of a juvenile assault by Judge Brett Kavanaugh three-and-half decades ago, yesterday admitted doubt as to the “truthfulness” of the accuser, and may have doomed the effort to stall Senate confirmation.
“[Ford] is a woman that has been, I think, profoundly impacted. On this . . . I can’t say that everything is truthful. I don’t know,” Feinstein told reporters on Capitol Hill when asked if she believed the allegation.
"Note the distinction between “truthful” and “truth.”
“Being truthful” means we are honestly expressing how we perceive or feel about something.
“Telling the truth” means we are accurately defining or describing the way things REALLY are.
"Senator Feinstein, consciously or not, has just impugned the honesty of Professor Ford, and no amount of attempted backtracking can un-ring that bell, with this video in existence.
