Not exactly. See below. Which I don't believe by the way.
Are you telling me in 2012 during a therapy session to save their marriage she speaks for the first time about an incident (she says later screwed her up for 4-5 years) and she speaks up because she's feaful a Republican President will get elected in the future and make him a Supreme Court nominee?
How about a more likely scenario. She was screwing around and got caught. They went to therapy. She makes up a story about some imaginary incident that happened in high school as a way to explain her self-destructive behavior with men. Skip forward a couple yesrs. She's a hard core liberal, professor, donating money to Hilary. Trump gets elected. She goes full looney left, starts participating in pu$$y marches, donating a lot of money to other lib causes, etc... Marriage suffers more and now she sees the opportunity to come up with the story that explains all her behavior and hurt Trump as much as she can. A rich, entitled, white, Republican is nominated to the Court and she either imagines the story completely or substitutes Kavanaugh into the role someone else played in a real life event from 35 years ago.
part of a Washington Post story below.
"Her husband Russell verified that she told him about the incident at that time in an interview with the Post and “recalled that his wife used Kavanaugh’s last name and voiced concern that Kavanaugh — then a federal judge — might one day be nominated to the Supreme Court.”
Russ Ford also told The Post that he thinks the allegation is relevant to Kavanaugh’s quest for the Supreme Court even though it dated to high school. “I think you look to judges to be the arbiters of right and wrong,” Russell Ford said to The Post. “If they don’t have a moral code of their own to determine right from wrong, then that’s a problem. So I think it’s relevant. Supreme Court nominees should be held to a higher standard.”
