In simply terms, Marten was able to peg the situation just from Fords opening statement.
Fords story was intentionally vague.
So vague that she feels that no one would be able to pin her statements to anything.
Surprise, not one but two individuals come forward, supposedly to state they committed the assault.
Marten had to gain the trust of Ford & her lawyers, allowing them to drop their guard, which enable Ford to give contradictory statements.
Some examples:
6.2 mile Radius To Party
No One Saw Her Escape House
Does Not Know How She Got To The House Or How She Left
20 Minute Drive Parents To Country Club
Contradictory Statements re: Music/Talking
Was unable to describe the bathroom, the room, in fact no aspect of the house save for the stairs.
First she stated that she could hear them talking going down the stairs, then it changed to she heard voices from downstairs but could not understand what was said.
6 Weeks After Incident She Spoke To Mark Judge.
Cannot Recall If She Gave Therapy Notes (Less than 2 Months Ago)
How did the reporters have this info ?
4 boys (typed letter to Feinstein)
4 boys in the room" (therapist)
3 boys & a girl" (WaPo)
4 boys & a couple of girls" (letter)
5 boys, one I didn't know" (today)
She did not need to ask a lot of questions only the ones that count.
