Confirmation battle or multi-generational soap opera? Turns out that Kavanaugh’s mother was the judge in his attempted-rape accuser’s parents’ home-foreclosure case

Is this a Supreme Court confirmation battle–or is it a soap opera titled Montgomery County?

Turns out that Brett Kavanaugh’s mother was the judge in in a 1996 home-foreclosure case in which the defendants were the parents of Kavanaugh’s last-minute attempted-rape accuser Christine Blasey Ford. The house in question, pictured above, is in Potomac, one of the highest-income towns in Montgomery County, Maryland, the Washington, D.C. suburb that is one of America’s highest-income residential areas.

Indeed, the entire cast of characters in Ford’s up-to-the-wire emergence from the shadows of Dianne Feinstein’s secret anti-Kavanaugh files seems to hail from upscale Montgomery County in what is turning out to be a complex edge-of-the-seat multi-generational saga. Move over, The O.C.!

Indeed, just as The O.C. involved hard-partying high-school students and their well-off but dysfunctional parents, so seems the tale of Kavanaugh, Ford, and Kavanaugh’s prep-school pal, Washington-area writer Mark Judge.

Let’s review the airy-fairy story that Ford told the Washington Post, with its bizarre combination of pointillistically precise detail and utter vagueness:

Ford alleges that sometime during the early 1980s, she was at a party when Kavanaugh and one of his friends and classmates at Georgetown Preparatory School, Mark Judge, were drunk and corralled her into a bedroom. Per the Post’s account:

While his friend watched, she said, Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed on her back and groped her over her clothes, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it. When she tried to scream, she said, he put his hand over her mouth.

“I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” said Ford, now a 51-year-old research psychologist in northern California. “He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.”

Ford said she was able to escape when Kavanaugh’s friend and classmate at Georgetown Preparatory School, Mark Judge, jumped on top of them, sending all three tumbling. She said she ran from the room, briefly locked herself in a bathroom and then fled the house.

Ford told the Post she didn’t tell anyone about the incident in detail until 2012 when she was in couples therapy with her husband. The therapist’s notes from the time, which the publication reviewed, say that Ford reported being attacked by students “from an elitist boys’ school” who went on to become “highly respected and high-ranking members of society.”

The notes don’t name Kavanaugh, and they say four boys were involved, not two. Ford told the Post this was the therapist’s error — there were four boys at the party, she said, but only two in the room.

Furthermore:

According to the Post, Ford has an imperfect memory of the events. “Ford said she does not remember how the gathering came together the night of the incident.… She also doesn’t recall who owned the house or how she got there.” She does seem to remember the county….

And she told the Post that the house was “not far from the country club.” Well, guess what? Neither was the about-to-be-foreclosed-on house that belonged to Ford’s parents, Ralph and Paula Blasey. The address, 17 Masters Court, Potomac MD 20854, is just a few turns down the leafy suburban roads from the extremely posh Congressional Country Club, host of five U.S. Opens and a PGA Championship on its 36-holes of golf courses.

This story has everything: Money galore, underage alcohol, drunk teens, a bathing suit, and parents who couldn’t pay their monthly mortgage bill. And a tightly knit community (with secrets!) where everyone seemed to live near everyone else, know everyone else, and sit as judge in everyone else’s foreclosure case.

Now, how about that Mark Judge (no connection except the weirdly coincidental between his surname and Kavanaugh’s mother’s job), who attended fancy-schmancy Jesuit-run Georgetown Preparatory School (in Bethesda, also in Montgomery County) with Kavanaugh during the 1980s? Here’s the skinny on him from Raw Story (h/t: Steve Sailer):

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual assault while his buddy Mark Judge watched nearby. Judge has since said he doesn’t recall the incident in an interview with the Washington Post. However, Heavy along with internet researchers uncovered Judge has a troubling history of posting photos of young girls.

Yikes! Photos of young girls! And sure enough, the Raw Story piece has screen-grabs of pictures apparently posted on Judge’s social-media sites featuring fetching young ladies clad in shorts and swimsuits. Call the vice squad!

Furthermore, Raw Story breathlessly reports, Judge had the temerity not to believe the Rolling Stone’s thoroughly discredited and ultimately retracted 2014 story about a supposed gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house:

In one piece he wrote for GotNews, Judge attacked a woman who claimed she was gang-raped for three hours….

“There is a key part of the Rolling Stone piece that I have questions about… Jackie was a new student when she went to a fraternity party at Phi Kappa Psi. Her date, Drew, gave her spiked punch to drink and then brought he [sic] upstairs. He led her into a darkened room. Jackie ‘began to scream,’ but it was too late,” he wrote, screen captures claim.

And here’s another odd but meaningful detail: The Washington Post says that Ford confided her lurid tale to its reporters at the same time that she alerted Sen. Feinstein–that is, in July. So both the Post and Feinstein sat on the story for nearly three months, only to reveal it after Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings wound up but just in time to derail the full Senate vote scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 20.

I wonder if that means yet another Montgomery County connection. I’m sure a number of Posties live out there.
