Unless the statute of limitations was up? Or the experience wasn't exactly as she remembered it?

I'm definitely interested to see how this one plays out, Cotton.

However, in 1982, those crimes had a one-year statute of limitations. In other words, Blasey Ford would have had to report the allegations to law enforcement by 1983. She did not.

It is worth noting, Maryland has done away with statute of limitations on most sexual offense charges, including rape, attempted rape and sex abuse of a minor, however, Kavanaugh is grandfathered in, so to speak.

CNN and The Hill both spread a bombastic accusation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Wednesday, without mentioning that the man who made the accusation has since retracted the claim and apologized for making it.

It's interesting. The Dems in the forum are asking for a full hearing and airing of facts to try to get to the truth. The Republicans here have already decided the women are lying having heard no facts.

Maybe because said facts are absent.

I'll listen to dr ford tomorrow, #2 refusing to testify she's credibility zero and #3 under oath in a statement, credibility zero producing no corroborating statements and revisiting parties where these alleged crimes took place again and again.

I think it's time for the dems to admit the playbook is very poorly written, logical people don't fall for lies, the narrative has miserably failed. You want us to believe you just want justice with a full investigation, which would include full investigations of the accusers? We already know about katz and avenettis background. The accusers would fail background miserably simply by associations, previous lawsuits, character statements by all who know them since high school and all the people who say these things just aren't true.
Facts so far...
No specifics, dates, locations, actors, corroborating witnesses, drinking, no police complaints. Except Kavanaugh is always mentioned.
Kavanaugh is being character assassinated and not one democrat has come out and said wait we need to take this seriously to protect the women accusing and the accused. It's
" we need to believe her" Not one has said innocent until proven guilty. I'm not hearing from dems about this process at all!!

Jan 1st, 1979, 3 am, L davis rapist. That's the start of my story. I'll spare you the details although i remember every minute of it. I remember every small detail.

I don't see anything with these witnesses that is credible and if you are going to tell a true story then you better damn well be sure of your facts before you do. This is not a fill in the blank crime they are accusing someone of. These accusers are lying and some are buying. Count me as not buying it.

The dude had a fairly obscure Twitter presence, did he give the retraction to the poeple he initially stated that to, or did he just tweet the retraction.

maybe I'm just being old fashioned

Maybe it would be that easy, I can't tell if it was or not. The report was accurate minus the retraction an hour earlier. Big fuss about not much, in my opinion.

I provided the link earlier to his Twitter feed where he himself issued the retraction and apologized.

I understand that somebody found the retraction on Twitter, CNN didn't. I'm not sure they even knew of his Twitter account. Whatever though, it's not the most egregious of errors.

In the past, that story never would have made the news due to lack of corroboration.

Into today's climate it happens but it would be simple to follow the source's Twitter and see.

The burning question is have they issued a retraction? Surely they have to know by now.

Oh, they blew it. Even their update wasn't a retraction. They updated the story to say that a "twitter account that matches the description" of the account that made the initial accusations later posted:

"Do everyone who is going crazy about what I had said I have recanted because I have made a mistake and apologize for such mistake."

CNN has reached out to an email address connected with the Twitter account and has not received a response. Whitehouse's office has not responded to a request for comment.

A twitter account that matches the description of...?

Really?! lol

What ever happened to: "Sorry guys. We jumped the gun. This story was over before we wrote it."

Can they even verify the Twitter is his? The original source came from the Senate I believe?

Seems like a Google search and a quick check of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn etc would be standard operating procedure nowadays.

I honestly don't care, Twitter shouldn't even be in the equation in my opinion.. Call me old fashioned.

Don't know if the account is legit or not. But that'd seemingly be a good reason to hang onto the story and verify some things.
