They're quick to bring up Christine Blasey Ford but Ford had something Tara doesn't have: and that's credibility.

Tara's credibility was shot when her story changed and her history became inconsistent.

I outlined how she completely altered what happened with Biden from 2019 to 2020.

But that also doesn't get into her openly admitting to leaving Washington on her own accord years ago because she became disenchanted with American politics and fell in love with Russia. That led to her being a pro-Putin propagandist, who railed against Mueller and the idea of Russian interference in the 2016 elections (which she now denies ever saying). Of course, then there's her pro-Biden tweets in 2017 that have been scrubbed.

They complain the media isn't pushing this story. They're not pushing it because it lacks total credibility.

Ford was credible for many reasons:

1) she passed a polygraph (though, I don't trust those ... still)
2) She went to the FBI
3) She mentioned another person, Mark Judge (even now, Tara says no one saw her accusation)
4) Therapy notes from years before corroborate her story about being attacked (though don't name Kavanaugh)

But the biggest thing that makes Ford credible is that there wasn't overwhelming inconsistencies, specifically an entirely different telling of the story a year prior to the initial accusation.
