It doesn't matter to the two men's personal criminal liability, but in the big picture of national opinion, this is huge.

A fringe on the left screams "rape!"; a fringe on the right screams "perjury!"; a huge mass in the middle remains unsure of what the actual truth is. Successful politicians serve the huge mass.

This narrative explains the accuser's rape claim as a non-perjurous slightly false memory explained by her drunken state at the time. This story makes Blasey Ford not a liar, per se, and it makes Kavenaugh not a rapist. This news defuses the bomb.

The left will try to destroy these two men. It's what they do to people who get in their way.
