You have got to be fucking kidding me!! This person made unsubstantiated allegations, 30 years old (or more!) and people like you expect them to be taken at face value. Sorry. This country has due process which says INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. Now, I know you Dems don't like that, I know you want to warp the narrative to fit your world view, but that IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE CONSTITUTION. Deal with it. The sound of your gnashing teeth soothes me as I sleep.

MSN is the definition of “junk science” and definitely biased “journalism” fir sure.
It is well known and respected psychological science that memory is not perfect. Especially with almost 40 years, and an intense activist mindset. It is quite easy to believe she could have conflated multiple events in her memory, coupled with the insertion of BK to her mind and we get the accusation. That would account for the gaps and changing story.
However when you add in her demonstrated hatred for all things Trumo, lying about flying, lying about a bogus polygraph, contact the news paper first followed by a letter (with changed “facts”), and her best friend denying involvement at the party at all, then I believe she is lying about all!

False memory syndrome - Wikipedia
False memory syndrome (FMS) describes a condition in which a person's identity and relationships are affected by memories that are factually incorrect but that they strongly believe.[1] Peter J. Freyd originated the term,[2] which the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) subsequently popularized. The term is not recognized as a psychiatric illness[3] in any of the medical manuals, such as the ICD-10[4] or the DSM-5;[5] however, the...

Cynthia Croft I agree with you on a couple things, but ...
You may find alternative “theories” on memory than those listed here, but these are more than accepted science. Memory is faulty (the reason for statutes of limitation (especially without witnesses or evidence). You are correct that if it did happen that her mind has likely replaced the perpetrator with BK, or simply inserted him now due to intense ideological behavior!
I do disagree that we should “realize” anything about her or have pity. If she really wanted to have privacy, she shouldn’t have gone to the paper. Her actions across the board are that of an activist working within the scene, not a victim who was used.

Cynthia C. - Constructing a timeline of occurrences from information that she has presented with other formal records creates a big question on her truthfulness. And then the sequence of events (CBF's and political operators) from the time that she wrote the initial letter to her appearance in front of the SJC, to her and her attorneys withholding of evidence (before and after the fact).
As more information comes out and is verified, it may come to be known that they (Democrat operatives) did not break her trust. Especially since she is trained and practices in the field of psychology and as a research psychologist, it is highly unlikely that she truly expected anonymity. I believe that there is more about this than we may ever know.

IndeedCynthia, benefit if the doubt should be given most times. The actions of the Dems definitely show she was used as a tool/prop. However, her actions show she was at least willing, but is likely more than that. She initiated contact to the newspaper and then her representatives. 6 years ago she “remembered” the event, but did not have any issue with BK as an appellate judge and did not bring it up (Clinton investigators digging into the Ken Starr staff found nothing on BK). She is a rabid activist (anyone who goes to rallies with a vagina on her head is not the average person...though seems more the norm for the left! She lied several times and seems under oath as well too. Got a lawyer (who is in record as stating the left should do ANYTHING to resist) right after contacting folks through text/letter and with her lawyer orchestrated a polygraph (which are not accurate to begin with) that she is trained herself in how to pass (done in secret in a hotel room and she can’t remember exactly which day)!
Her actions do not deserve any benefit!
