This was a suddenly planned attack for the last 4 mos. The only they could find in a guy was a fake accusation in HS? You can’t find 100 people in the country who could pass that test.

That 10:00 PM deadline was several extensions of time...nothing “sudden” about it...quite the opposite.

But the rat Feinstein’s 11th hour sleaze bomb wasn’t “sudden.”

If the stakes were not so high, watching the media hopping around like trained monkeys to the tune of the DNC organ grinder would be comical.

That’s beautiful ... because the Kavanaugh nomination is just one of a number of items on the agenda. LOL.

The next end run is getting him charged in Maryland. That’s the plan now.

Isn't it way past the statute of limitations for that?

Okay, the Breibart article was correct. They simply have to vote before next Thursday or Kavanaugh may be not seated on the court before the Nov election. That’s what this is all about, her layers are working under direct orders from the DNC. If she wanted to testify she’s had all week to arrange it. She had intention at all of testifying. Final push will be a tear-jerker pack of lies on 60 Minutes Sunday night Hoping the 60 Minutes interview will have ppl pressuring senators to vote no

I hope this is true.

Ford’s attorney’s just keep asking for more and more time, trying to run out the clock.

Maryland does not have a SOL for a charge along the lines of these allegations.

Another sticky thing here for the ‘Rats - filing a police report for charges of a 15/17 yo’s, 35 years ago, incident of “cop-a-feel”. Pretty rid-ick.

To do anything else would have been snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
