Kavanaugh accused of sexually assaulting classmate in high school

Ford has contributed to Democratic candidates, though not a large amount, and her parent's appeared before Kavanaugh's mother, who is also a judge(in the mid-1990's).  Either or both of these things could make Ford biased.

It doesn't mean that any of these people are biased, or that any are lying, but it does lower the value of their direct statements.

Yes, it lowers the value of her direct statement about being sexually assaulted by a very small amount, to an extent not even worth bothering with if not grasping at straws.

There's no middle ground in this allegation.  No room for misunderstanding.  Either Kavanaugh is lying or Professor Ford is lying, but there's no splitting the difference here.

I can think of 2 scenarios where neither is lying. Maybe Kavanaugh is guilty but has no memory of doing it or even her because he was drunk. Or maybe Kavanaugh didn't do it but someone else did and she somehow got his identity confused.
