The Post itself reported Ford first contacted the paper’s tip line in July, when Kavanaugh was merely a shortlist prospect, not the nominee. Carroll took up this point in an editor’s note after the election, which Schwarzenegger won. And, she noted, it wasn’t just that the reporting wasn’t complete in time.
