4) She voluntarily took a lie detector test (and passed) and has been strident in her calls for an FBI investigation. Again, these are not the actions of someone who has made up a story - people generally want less oversight of their lies, not more, because if this story is a fabrication the FBI could easily turn up holes in the story that would exonerate Kavanaugh.

Speculation still at this point.

5) By contrast, Kavanaugh's conduct during this whole thing has not been encouraging. In spite of the fact that he is being - according to his claims - falsely accused, he has, to the best of my knowledge, not spoken in support of an independent investigation even once. If *I* was being falsely accused, I'd certainly want my name cleared as quickly and thoroughly as possible.

Theres plenty of investigating going on as there is. Why would any sane person call for more? If he believes he's clean, that's unnecessary.

6) Mark Judge hasn't been helping his friend's case either. He gave a terse statement that nothing happened and he didn't want to talk about it, then immediately went into hiding to escape the media firestorm that followed. Now, in complete fairness to Judge, having the media hounding you is not a pleasant experience, so I can at least partially understand that reaction, but at the same time a good friend of yours is being accused of some pretty serious stuff, with you being placed as a witness. Certainly if my friend was falsely being accused of something and I was being labelled as a witness, I would immediately and repeatedly declare his innocence. There's an excellent question to be asked here, and few people have bothered doing it - if Mark Judge is telling the truth and nothing really did happen, why doesn't he want to talk about it further?

I havent researched this but is he still good friends with him? Most people that are friends at 17 arent still close friends at 50 something. Wanting to be uninvolved is perfectly natural especially if you dont recall anything happening.

Sounds downright wholesome - not a whisper of his own participation and certainly no hints of illegal, underage drinking.

You arent this much of a square are you?

Now, partying hard in college is not a crime, and Kavanaugh easily could have helped his own case here by basically saying "Yes, I used to party in college. Yes, I got drunk from time to time. I was young and careless and yes, I did some things I'm not proud of. I made mistakes, as all young people tend to do at that age. But I've grown since then and I'm not the same foolish young man I was. My experiences, rough and tumble though they may have been, helped shape me into something better. I have learned from them and grown into what I hope is a much wiser man."

I mean... you basically just gave a more verbose response of exactly what he said.

Number 8: ran out of characters

Well let's wait and see what happens and if there is corroboration for people at these parties that confirm this behavior because thus far that hasn't happened ... I also dont put much stock into "rumblings of a third."
