I won't post her link, but here's an excerpt:
Thanks to all of you for your understanding and support through these turbulent years. Ever since I became involved in the Clinton impeachment 21 years ago (not of my doing, I was subpoenaed,) I have not been able to find meaningful employment. I "almost" got a lot of positions, but nothing ever came to fruition. Sitting across the desk from a recruiter and saying that your name is "Kathleen Willey" is not easy!
What money I did have simply disappeared on living expenses. I ran out and am now living on Social Security, which never lasts the entire month. I am "under water" and selling this house is not an option. I would be left with nothing.

(1,379 posts)What BS.
I thought we heard that we believe survivors, and it was up to the accused to prove it didnt happen.
And BTW, I believe Dr Ford.

(61,622 posts)It's never up to the accused to prove an assault didn't happen. The law doesn't work that way.
By the way, both Dr. Ford and Deborah Ramirez gave the FBI the names of corroborating witnesses. The FBI didn't bother to contact them.

(1,379 posts)I heard over and over agin, it wasnt a court of law but a job interview, so it was up to him to prove it didnt happen.
Also I agree about the Ramirez case, but with Dr Ford, she named 3 people, and they were all interviewed.
The Ramirez case was an embarrassment to the FBI.

(61,622 posts)Who said that?
Dr. Ford named considerably more than three people. Did the FBI interview the man she was dating that summer? Did they interview the man who was living where the July 1 party took place?

(6,913 posts)We evaluate the evidence. In the Kavanaugh matter, the Republicans refused to investigated corroborating evidence. There is a provision in the rules of legal procedure in my state, and many others, that says that if one side willfully suppresses evidence, it may be presumed the evidence would be adverse to them. In other words, you are hiding evidence because you know it would hurt you.
That is one reason to believe Dr. Blasey-Ford.

(58,785 posts)testified that she was hoping to beguile Clinton into an affair and would wait in the halls when she heard he was coming through so he'd see her.
If she wants money, she should hit up the people who "befriended" her back then and persuaded her to accuse Clinton. So unfair to use and then dump her only because she couldn't keep her lies straight. But perhaps some of her other unsavory activities, all documented, have something to do with her current problems.
But in any case, most of those people are still around somewhere. Some may still work at Judicial Watch, but it would be very strange if Kellyanne Conway and her husband couldn't put her in touch with anyone who's still alive and would take her call, of course.
Interestingly, she may have crossed paths with Brett Kavanaugh when she was still trying to monetize fake scandal and he to manufacture it, but he wasn't impressed:

(58,785 posts)She actually had a "scandal a day" website in 2015 where she yet again tried to make money making up lies about the Clintons. There was a huge market for them, but even with her notorious name on it she failed at that also.

for more money from FOX and the Deplorable crowd... they have a lot of money. Was she at the Trump-Clinton press conference and debate? The pay should have been $10,000, at least. If one lives simply, SS and those bonus checks can get one by...

Wish her and all of the others out there living out their retirement on SS alone the best. Sounds like she might have some equity in her home. She might want to think about supporting the investors class and getting a reverse mortgage.

(43,182 posts)Between her weird fan girl letters she sent to Clinton and the bizarre claim that Clinton attacked her on same day her husband killed himself, I think shes dealing with some substantial unresolved issues.
Part of me feels sorry for her, but she is in no way at all credible.
On the other hand I dont feel the least bit sorry for Juanita Broaddrick. That is one absolute disgusting, vile person.
kskiska
(27,045 posts)that the Clintons were out to get her and even killed her cat. She suggested in an interview that after her name surfaced in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit against Bill Clinton, the Clintons arranged to have her kitty assassinated. She said she got an anonymous phone call taunting her about her missing cat and later discovered a cat skull on her porch.
