Beverly Young Nelson Yearbook Misrepresentation Decimates Opponent Narrative
The news just keeps getting better for Senate nominee Roy Moore’s campaign. The Beverly Young Nelson yearbook signature, a key component to the key accuser’s claim that she had known Moore, has just come unglued.
According to a recently disseminated ABC interview, Nelson admitted forging a signed message on the yearbook she had previously accused Roy Moore of signing. As ABC News explains, “Nelson admits she did make notes to the inscription.” (Source: “Bombshell: Roy Moore Accuser Beverly Nelson Admits She Forged Yearbook,” Breitbart, December 8, 2017.)
Amazingly, ABC News attempts to downplay this important fact by claiming that Nelson simply added “notes” to the inscription. While acknowledging the inscription was bogus, she maintained Moore’s signature was real:
ABC interviewer Tom Llamas: “Beverly, he signed your yearbook.”
Nelson: “He did sign it.”
Llamas: “And you made some notes underneath.”
Nelson: “Yes.” (Source: Ibid.)

The problem is, Nelson’s admission is a complete backtrack from the way the signature was presented. Both Nelson and her liberal attorney, Gloria Allred, never mentioned this key point until now. That’s straight-up duplicitous and evasive. How can anyone maintain credibility after such obscene judgment?
It also answers the question on why Gloria Allred was so reluctant to release the yearbook to third-party experts for testing. With today’s technological advancements, experts could easily have determined the yearbook’s authenticity. Clearly, they didn’t want to be exposed.
Verdict
With Nelson’s admission choreographed before the cameras just days before the Alabama Senate run-off, I think this is an attempt at damage control. Establishment Republicans have already thrown in the towel and several polls indicate Moore was relatively unscathed by the scandal. It’s become clear Moore will handily win on December 12, as predicted by Lombardi Letter on November 30.
As for Gloria Allred, the problems may just be starting. Although Allred will likely argue that technically her client was telling the truth (Nelson claims Moore’s actual signature is still legitimate), unquestionably the stunt was deeply unethical. That’s bad news for Allred, who already faces two Bar investigations for alleged misconduct.
Given the grievous attempt to misrepresent the facts, Moore certain has exploratory grounds to file suit. Will he decide to bury a liberal icon who almost torpedoed his campaign? I don’t see why not, considering he might have president Trump’s support (whom himself has been sandbagged by Allred-advised clients).
Either way, the biggest winner in Roy Moore. The allegations weren’t widely believed anyway, but Nelson’s admission is the final nail in the coffin for the biggest piece of “evidence” in this sad saga.
Whether it’s the final nail in Gloria Allred’s career remain to be seen.
