    ...^^^ "FAKE NEWS !"...but hey, that's nothing new, that's what some people do. They retweet or make false/inaccurate statements without merit.



    1. There were 2 different go fund me accounts, which raised about $700K...not $1Mil.

    2. Both accounts were closed and are no longer accepting donations. https://www.gofundme.com/help-christine-blasey-ford

    3. She and her husband are not hurting for money.

    4. She and her husband have incurred very large expenses just fo her to come forward and she already testified under oath that; “GoFundMe sites that have raised money, primarily for our security detail. So I’m not even quite sure how to collect that money or — and how to distribute it yet. I haven’t been able to focus on that.”

    Right.
    No substantiated accusations about Kavanaugh either.

    The committee refused to call in any other witnesses so how can anything be substantiated at this stage and exactly why they called for an investigation. That's how the process is suppose to work.

    Oh, so only 3/4 of a million dollars. Fromtwo fundraising accounts. Who knows if there are more, i'm willing to bet there are.

    She literally plugged her go fund me during her testimony. She also received free legal representation from a high priced lawyer. Worth a few hundred grand.

    They asked her for information regarding the go fund me, it's not like she brought it up unsolicited.

    No, she did not "literally" plug her go fund me account. Thinking so is being ignorant.

    Nothing is wrong, but she gained fame and fortune by doing this despite what people claim to the contrary.

    This is a pretty good read if you have time on your hands. I'll quote part of the conclusion here, but note that the things mentioned in this passage are discussed in detail in the text.

    ...yeah, you were off by 1/4 of a Mil..."fake news".

    ...any idea what expenses she incurred?...didn't think so.

    ...do you have any proof that there are more gofundme accounts?...didn't think so...as per usual you envision things in your mind and then simply post them whether they can be quantified or not...brilliant.

    ...so even though she did not want to be put into the public spotlight, she still somehow knew, she just knew that she'd end up with "fame and fortune"?

    ...gotta love that pretzel logic.

    Death threats and having your name, address and home broadcast is totally worth the 700 grand they might or might not get via go-fundme.

    ...on top of that I'm not so sure that money would not be considered as income and therefore would also be taxable. And from what I understand the expenses for the whole fiasco including all sorts of security was quite pricey. And like I said, it's not like she and her husband were hurting for money to begin with.

    Don’t know if this has already been mentioned but now former Trail Blazer Chris Dudley is involved:

    (Chad Ludington) said Judge Kavanaugh had often become “belligerent and aggressive” while intoxicated during his first two years at Yale. Mr. Ludington recalled one incident in which he said Judge Kavanaugh threw a beer in someone’s face, “starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail.”

    That description was challenged by Chris Dudley, a former N.B.A. player and close friend of Judge Kavanaugh’s who attended Yale and played basketball with Mr. Ludington. Mr. Dudley said he was certain that he “never, ever saw Brett Kavanaugh black out” from drinking, and “never, ever saw him act inappropriately toward any woman in the 35 years that I’ve known him.”
