ONE Problem with Ford's Allegations

DOESN'T REMEMBER THIS

We now know that Dr. Blasey Ford leaked her own therapist notes to the media.  News accounts have directly implicated her providing the notes from a 2012 therapist session.  She, of course, "doesn't remember" sharing them with the media, but the media outlet she shared them with sure did.

FOUR BOYS

We now know that the notes refer to four boys being present instead of two boys (Kavanaugh and Judge).  That's what's in the therapist notes. It's not what the Democrats are talking about, and Ford now claims that's the ONE thing the therapist got wrong.  According to her the rest is spot on. 

FALSE IN ONE, FALSE IN ALL

If the media knows she gave the notes to them, and the notes claim four boys were involved, does the "false in one, false in all" principle espoused by Sen. Blumenthal work here?  If it's really four and not two (or even if it's really two and not four), does her whole story ring false?  Blumenthal seems to believe that old legal principle applies when he thinks one piece of Kavanaugh's story is false. Does the same standard apply to Dr. Ford, or is it conveniently waived?

Should the media emphasize the discrepancies between Ford's known contributions to the media frenzy and her testimony under oath?  What do you think?
