What are the chances that this story on rhe second woman is a Trojan Horse

[Le Gaucher]

Designed to self implode upon inspection .

The hope is that it will call into credibility of Dr.Ford's allegation.

Do you think I am being paranoid?

[HipChick]

1. Ronan Farrow did not come to play...

[mcar]

2. A story about sexual abuse, investigated by Ronan Farrow?

No chance at all.

[rzemanfl]

3. Yes. n/t

[bettyellen]

15. I guess you didn't read the New Yorker piece yet? It's very credible.

[rzemanfl]

17. My yes was to paranoid. Did you mean to reply to the OP? n/t

[bettyellen]

19. Yes- oops!

[rzemanfl]

20. No problem, it happens to all of us. n/t

4. Not likely. Ronan Farrow is involves in this one

In late 2017, Farrow's articles in The New Yorker helped uncover the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse allegations. For this reporting, The New Yorker won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, sharing the award with The New York Times. Farrow’s subsequent investigations exposed similar allegations against Eric Schneiderman and Les Moonves, which led to the resignations of both in 2018.

Kavanaugh is scum.

6. (Sigh) Thank you for your concern...

Anything’s possible, but I would think both Avenatti and Meyer/Farrow would do due diligence before going public on either incident, to avoid ruining their reputations.

10. +1

Jane Mayer, Ronan Farrow, and the New Yorker would most certainly fully vet this story.

8. Not sure if it was designed to do that, but there's a certain amount of tawdriness where people will

just start to shut it all off in their minds. I'm not sure that most Americans want dicks in faces in drunken frat parties to be discussed in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

I don't think it will help Democrats in middle America to be seen as peddling this kind of thing too hard.

Attempted rape is one thing. This is just so tawdry, and the whole "I consulted my memory" thing won't help matters either.

9. News stories from investigative journalists like Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer

that come from top tier news sources typically don't "self implode". I can't speak to your mental condition, but a bit more critical thinking would definitely not go amiss.

12. No n/t

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. This is a garbage take.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. It's the freaking New Yorker, not the National Enquirer.

18. Jane Mayer and Ronan Farrow?

No
