Backpedaling? Ford's Lawyer Sends a Letter to Grassley With Grave Concerns
Townhall ^ | 25 September 2018 | Beth Baumann

Posted on 09/24/2018 10:43:47 PM PDT by lowbuck

One of the attorneys for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Judge Brett Kavanaugh's first sexual assault accuser, sent a letter late Monday night to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley expressing concerns about the format of Thursday's hearings.

In his letter, attorney Michael Bromwich expressed concern over an experienced sex crimes prosecutor coming in to help with the hearings. More than anything, Bromwich immediately demanded a copy of the prosecutor's resume after arguing that there is no need for him or her to be present. His argument: neither Ford nor Kavanaugh are on trial.

Bromwich also said Ford's team is not convinced that she will receive a "fair and credible" process because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Ford's accusations are a "smear campaign" put together by the Democrats as a means of keeping Kavanaugh from being confirmed.

I was listening to a pundit this morning that suggested that the expectation from day one was that he’d admit to “groping” but argue that, “hey, it was high school”. Unfortunately for them he utterly denied it. That forced them to either back off or ramp it up. Unfortunately for them, they chose the latter.

She was probably molested by some other guy, that is why she passed the polygraph, she wasn't lying

She just told on the wrong guy

I don't know if the author of the article, or some editor added "[sic]"

Apparently whoever did it does not understand how to form the possessive of a noun.

Total BS she will never appear. Take the vote

As of this moment it appears Kavanaugh would lose. So it works for them.

Because this is political theater, not a search for the truth.

These sons of bitches bluffs are being called. They expected Kav to be gone by now.

It is blatantly obvious that what they want is video footage of the GOP senators questioning her so they can turn it around into an attack and cry about how mean they were this is so transparent...

Yes it is obvious. That’s why they wanted senators and not attorneys questioning miss sunglasses.

Off topic, I can’t believe how a potential witness in a Senate hearing, gets to dictate the size of the room and other details of testimony.

Grassley’s request for information from Fraud’s lawyer, to be delivered TODAY, it will be very telling if this request is ignored.

They wont take the vote until they hear all the claimants or what ever you call them. Ford, Rameriz and possibly the new one that will come out in 48 hrs. This will never end even if Ford doesn’t come.

Agree. Grassley will keep folding until Kavanaugh gives up from disgust. The republicans see (shortsightedly) that their only way out of this mess. They aren't willing to fight for anyone but themselves.

It's frightening and disgusting what they are allowing to be done to Kavanaugh and his family.

Does he think Kavanaugh is receiving a fair hearing from the Democrats?

I think you are right Judy, there are the RINOs that insist they won’t vote Yes until they hear from the fake Accuser.

Now that she has been given ample time to get there and everything is set in motion, if she doesn’t show those people have no excuse not to vote Kavanaugh in. Sadly this is the way it has to be done because real conservatives aren’t in Congress.

She has $400k and growing at gofundme and a similar site. There will be plenty for her even after the lawyers take their cut.

I love grassley’s response when she said she was afraid for her life and wanted extra security. I believe it was him. The answer said something to the effect that the Congressional police protect the president, vice president, and visiting heads of state. Therefore they would be just fine for her.

I have not heard anyone ask what questions were asked of her on a lie detector test. Lying or not would depend on the question asked. If Judge Kavanaugh’s name didn’t show up in the questions then the lie detector test is irrelevant.
