Default How many here ....


.... have actually read the letter sent to Dianne Feinstein by
Christine Blasey (Ford)? I had not until just recently.
Honestly don't know what to think about it. For those who
have not read it, I have copied and pasted it below:



July 30, 2018

CONFIDENTIAL

Senator Dianne Feinstein

Dear Senator Feinstein:

I am writing with information relevant in evaluating the current nominee
to the Supreme Court. As a constituent, I expect that you will maintain
this as confidential until we have further opportunity to speak.

Brett Kavanaugh physically and sexually assaulted me during high school
in the early 1980's. He conducted these acts with the assistance of his
close friend, Mark G. Judge.

Both were 1-2 years older than me and students at a local private
school. The assault occurred in a suburban Maryland area home at a
gathering that included me and 4 others.

Kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom as I was headed for a
bathroom up a short stairwell from the living room. They locked the door
and played loud music, precluding any successful attempts to yell for help.

Kavanaugh was on top of me while laughing with Judge, who periodically
jumped onto Kavanaugh. They both laughed as Kavanaugh tried to disrobe
me in their highly inebriated state.

With Kavanaugh's hand over my mouth, I feared he may inadvertently kill me.

From across the room, a very drunken Judge said mixed words to
Kavanaugh ranging from "go for it" to "stop."

At one point when Judge jumped onto the bed, the weight on me was
substantial. The pile toppled, and the two scrapped with each other.

After a few attempts to get away, I was able to take this opportune
moment to get up and run across to a hallway bathroom. I locked the
bathroom door behind me.

Both loudly stumbled down the stairwell, at which point other persons at
the house were talking with them. I exited the bathroom, ran outside of
the house and went home.

I have not knowingly seen Kavanaugh since the assault. I did see Judge
once at the Potomac Village Safeway, where he was extremely
uncomfortable seeing me.

I have received medical treatment regarding the assault. On July 6, I
notified my local government representative to ask them how to proceed
with sharing this information. It is upsetting to discuss sexual assault
and its repercussions, yet I felt guilty and compelled as a citizen
about the idea of not saying anything.

I am available to speak further should you wish to discuss. I am
currently vacationing in the mid-Atlantic until August 7th and will be
in California after August 10th.

In confidence,

Christine Blasey

Pala Alto, California
