What could anyone gain from putting their life and that of their family in jeopardy on a false accusation? Ford is going to be watching her back possibly the rest of her life. The world is full of crazies who hold grudges, unfortunately.
Money? I mean if you’re the type to believe this is a set-up it’s probably pretty easy to believe there’s a big chunk of cash waiting for her somewhere.
I mean her freaking GoFundMe alone is almost up to $480,000. That’s a pretty strong motive by itself.
And who knows what other secret account might also be waiting for her in some dark corner. I mean I don’t know at all if she’s telling the truth? But people have lied for a hell of a lot less.

"Important Update – We want to be very clear that the money raised from this campaign is going directly to the Ford Family. They are the only authorized beneficiary. We have worked closely with GoFundMe to ensure this. This campaign is a great way to contribute directly to the family to cover the immediate security and personal expenses they are incurring.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support! "
We’re probably seeing the last generation where some sort of tangible evidence of one’s unsavory past is hard to come by. Future politicians and would be nominees are going to have their digital and social media skeletons to deal with. But the internet seldom forgets.
