Are things that she said to me that differ from her initial statement, which was a sworn statement last week submitted to the judiciary committee. i think that in many peoples minds raises a credibility question. republicans have repeatedly raised that shes been involved in lawsuits and some other things that they say question her credibility, but just, you know, the interview itself, again, if you watch the whole thing youll see that even her description of why and how she came forward and when...

When is the last time anyone believed a drunk teenage boys version of anything? >> well, i suppose that you raise a good point, but that depends whether the incident did or didnt happen. i think the key credibility question comes down to the accuser, dr. ford. and you know, one of the things that prosecutors who handle cases involving sexual assault come to know over time is that accusers are often delayed in making their accusations, and that is because victims are traumatized. they are concern...
