Blasey Ford had nothing to gain except money and fame

During the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearing for SCOTUS, the Democrats who questioned Christine Blasey Ford kept saying the poor, poor woman had "nothing to gain" by accusing Kavanaugh [now Justice Kavanaugh] of fondling her during a drunken party 36 years ago when she was 15 and he was 17.

She had absolutely nothing to gain. She merely did it because it was her civic duty to come forward and attempt to ruin a man's reputation and his career.

Bull crap.

It turns out Ford will be rolling in dough and a probable book deal for putting herself out there with her accusations and not one shred of corroboration from her alleged witnesses, one of whom is her lifelong friend.

"Ford stands to gain some $1 million and counting from national crowdfunding campaigns launched by friends and other supporters, while she is said to be fielding book offers," Real Clear Investigation wrote Monday.

The potential seven-figure windfall, which she says she intends to cash in on--while still asking donors for more money--has some questioning her motivation for accusing the conservative judge after 35 years of silence, and whether it goes beyond personal or even political justice. Others worry the largesse sets a dangerous precedent: Crowdfunding, which unlike political donations is unregulated, could be routinely used in the future as a bounty for providing political dirt on opponents.

Two GoFundMe accounts have raised more than $842,000 for Ford, and the money is still coming in weeks after she testified and left the spotlight. The total does not include a third account collecting $120,000 for an academic endowment in her name.

"The costs for security, housing, transportation and other related expenses are much higher than we anticipated and they do not show signs of letting up," Ford said in a recent statement posted on the GoFundMe page of the "Help Christine Blasey Ford" campaign, which is still bringing in donations. "Funds received via this account will be used to help us pay for these mounting expenses."

Except that she's lying.

All of Ford's legal fees and polygraph examination were paid for by Democratic lawyers assigned to her by the Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. And "panel Democrats were allotted half of a $1 million committee fund for transportation, security, investigations and other expenses associated with the tumultuous confirmation process. The Senate Sergeant at Arms and Capitol Police also provided 'heightened security' for Ford."

An attorney familiar with the case said, "Her lawyers said they were representing her on a pro-bono basis. Why does she need all of this money?"

Because it's how she rolls--she lied then, she's obviously lying now.
