The Judiciary Committee has heard testimony from two men who have confessed to sexually Christine Blasey Ford, clearing Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
The two men have reportedly come forward separately after hearing Ford's story and recalling the incident.
The pair has corroborated Dr. Ford's allegations, but insist it was them who had sexually assaulted her in the Summer of 1982, and not Kavanaugh.
The news was first revealed by Politico reporter Burgess Everett, who made the announcement on Twitter.
“[Senate Judiciary] Committee staff have a second interview with a man who believes he, not Judge Kavanaugh, had the encounter with Dr. Ford in the summer of 1982 that is the basis of her allegation,” Everett stated.
“He described his recollection of their interaction in some detail.”
“For people asking for more info,” added Burgess in a second tweet.
“This is from a long investigation summary from Judiciary Republicans distributed tonight.
"These interviews happened this week, according to the committee.”

If true, the men in question are putting themselves in serious legal jeopardy as there is no statute of limitations for rape in Maryland, where the alleged attack transpired.
David Martosko of the Daily Mail tweeted screenshots from the Senate Judiciary Committee report.
Whoa. Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans say they have spoken to two men who think they, not Kavanaugh, had the 1982 encounter that formed the basis for her sexual abuse claim. (These tables are from a timeline the committee majority published 15 minutes ago.) pic.twitter.com/tjz3CSQUUL

In what appears to be the log of the committee’s investigation and proceedings, an entry dated Monday, September 24, says committee staff held a “first interview” with a man claiming that it was him, not Kavanaugh, who “had the encounter with Dr. Ford.”
The man also submitted a written account to the committee earlier in the day.
In an entry dated Tuesday, Sept. 25, the committee reported that staff had a second interview “with a man who believes he, not Judge Kavanaugh, had the encounter with Dr. Ford in the summer of 1982 that is the basis of her allegation. He described his recollection of their interaction in some detail.”

The next day, another entry reads, “Committee staff receives a more in-depth written statement from the man interviewed twice previously” who claims to have had the encounter with Ford.
The committee staff also “spoke via phone with another man who believes he, not Judge Kavanaugh, had the encounter with Dr. Ford in 1982 that is the basis of her allegation.”
The man “explained his recollection of the details of the encounter.”
Martosko added:
It's not at all clear if these two men each thought, "Hey, it might have been me!" -- or if the second one believes he played the hypothetical Mark Judge role in an actual assault perpetrated by the first. https://t.co/zoI1bibZw5

And of course, the left is having a collective panic attack about the release of this report, just hours before the hearing is set to begin.
And, naturally, the committee chose to disclose all of this at 10 PM-ish on the night before she testifies. https://t.co/8ZQChefM3M

Which is exactly what Feinstein and co. did after Kavanaugh had testified before the committee — just as the Senate was planning to vote on his nomination.
One thing for sure is that these latest “confessions” highlight the uncertainty that accompanies claims that cannot be substantiated with any evidence, which makes them all — including those of Brett Kavanaugh’s accusers — very suspect.
