I would like to know HOW they found 65 contemporary women from the time in question.

Most girls in that school at the time have grown, moved, married with name changes maybe more than once, or died. How did they find 65 so quick? I wouldn't be able to find my own classmates that quick.

I think they are lying up the wazoo.

What are the republicans always accusing democratic voters of doing? Cheating. Why? Because that's what they do. They are liars and cheaters willing to do and say anything to protect themselves. Half the women on the list probably don't exist.

3. They knew this would come up. They've probably had this ready for weeks.

Probably got ahold of the girls' school alumnae list and sent a copy of the letter to everybody on it.

Feinstein had the woman's story/letter in Aug, perhaps somehow leaked , so plenty of time to create a BS reply .
Most of the public doesnt even realize how hard it would be to find 65 woman of the same age who really knew the character of a male high schooler who went to an all boys prep because they just assume it was a coed environment and they knew him from daily events in school

5. That the Republicans were able to produce this letter with 65 women signing if so quickly tell me

it was compiled weeks, probably months before this story came out.

He went to an all boys Jesuit run high school, I went to an all boys Christian Brothers run high. I doubt one could scare up 65 of my contemporary girls to sign on to any kind of letter on my behalf especially on short notice.

I'll bet other people at that party knew about this when it happened, probably their parents too. He was fortunate to have gone to an upper end school at a time when actions like this were excused as "youthful indiscretions" and rationalized with stuff like "why ruin a promising young man's life?" I'm positive of this because police regularly let me slide on minor infractions with those statements while they were bust my friends who went to public school. And my high school was no where near as prestigious as Georgetown Prep, which we heard about in my little west coast Catholic high school.

6. Really far fetched to see if one could find 65 in so short a time...I have even difficulty find...

ing one friend from high school in a small town...

Amazing that they came up w/ these names so quickly, leaves a lot of doubt about the veracity of this information.

The private schools in question are VERY expensive. Most of the graduates are Republicans. AL they had to do was contact these women and tell them their party needs them. Republicans by and large have NO integrity, so it was easy-peasy.

14. I'd first want to check that these women even exist.

I half expect to hear, three days or a week from now, that someone has gone down the list and found many of these witnesses to K's character don't even exist.

Like when Trump tells us "a famous CEO" called him to say tariffs are wonderful. By now most of us know it's bullshit.

I wonder if the same thing isn't happening here.

At this point I wouldn't put anything past the enablers of this rampant criminal enterprise, AKA the Trump administration.
