Hmmmm. If this is all just a last minute left wing smear job why was Brett trying to find ways to discredit Ramirez back in July? From that same NBC article:

Further, the texts show Kavanaugh may need to be questioned about how far back he anticipated that Ramirez would air allegations against him. Berchem says in her memo that Kavanaugh “and/or” his friends “may have initiated an anticipatory narrative” as early as July to “conceal or discredit” Ramirez.

This would be a good reason for Kavanaugh to not be eager for an FBI investigation.
 
If this is a total smear job I feel for him, but wow, his temperament is about as 180° from a Supreme Court justice as it gets. Even if it was a total fabrication he should have kept his cool. Now if he does get confirmed he'll easily be the biggest partisan hack on the Court, and that's an impressive feat with the current makeup of the court.

I don't think Blasey-Ford's accusations are going to be enough to stop Kavanaigh from getting confirmed. Something else more credible would need to emerge.

The prosecutor's memo makes Ford's claim look specious.

Perhaps text messages to colleagues about the ramirez situating months before she came forward?

I get the temperament argument, but keep in mind that's his temperament when he's being accused of a sex crime on national TV and being asked to answer for it in front of the Senate that's trying to confirm him for the Supreme Court. It's a pretty extreme situation, and he's under a lot of pressure, obviously. He chose the angry, defiant denial approach. He went all in.

He tried to be Trump - unfortunately for him, Trump has has had 70 consecutive years of practice being a d-bag. From the looks of it this guy was a d-bag at one time but somewhere along the way grew up, got married and had kids. Now he decided his best course of action is to try to re-summon the inner d-bagness that he's been suppressing for the last 30 or so years - didn't work out very well.

Very convenient line in the sand you draw there. Not buying it... But it sure is purdy.
