...and yet I would still not be surprised if the Committee vote goes forward. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he's confirmed and sworn in, only to have the FBI turn around and affirm the veracity of the allegation.
Personally, I was already inclined to believe because I don't buy in to the narrative that women make up these claims. Add to that, she named the other guy in the room and she and her husband were discussing the event with a therapist in 2012, her credibility is established and her only motive for lying (Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court) is ruled out by more than half a decade. Dead to rights as far as I'm concerned.
