Lying or mistaken . Those are two very different approaches. He has as of now never said lying, he has only said mistaken. But President Trump and kavanaughs defenders have suggested she is lying. But now he has heard her say i am 100 sure it was Brett Kavanaugh. So its really hard to go the mistaken route if shes so insistent. I dont really know whats the best way but thats a really important choice he has to make. So this Opening Statement is going to set the tone, right .
