I am skeptical that the lawyer and her team even cared whether what Ford had to say was true. They're lawyers, like you and me, and they knew (or should have known) her allegations were unprovable. It was an effort to damage Kavenaugh, and a low point in the history of the SCOTUS confirmation process. Again, I hope I would see it the same way if the political parties were reversed. I don't know if I would.
"Negative inferences" about whose intentions? Feinstein's? Well, yes, she's a politician. About Mrs. Ford's? I don't see that.
