Well, but that was also when Kavanaugh became a supreme court nominee. He wasn't a nominee in the summer of 2018.

And getting nominated to the Supreme Court is what made the accuser want to go public. She didn't want to initially, which makes it hard to do anything with the information.

She didn't want to go public at all. She was outed by Ryan Grim at the Intercept as part of an attack article he wrote on Diane Fenstein.
