Sen. Chuck Grassley has decided to give Christine Blasey-Ford one more day to decide if she wants to testify before the Judiciary committee. This is a bad idea. Ford did deserve a hearing, but she no longer does.
Once Ford teamed up with Ricki Seidman, it became very clear that the intent here is to destroy Brett Kavanaugh as Seidman tried to do to Clarence Thomas.
Ford and her legal team are engaged in chicanery. They've made asinine demands:
Citing “sources,” Fox News’ Shannon Bream reports on the demands Christine Blasey Ford and her legal team are making as a condition for her testifying about her allegations against Brett Kavanaugh:I loved Jonathan Turley's metaphor- swing first, then I'll pitch.Ford team wants NO questions from lawyers, only Qs from Committee members, #Kavanaugh cannot be in the room, Kavanaugh must testify FIRST – more to come …
These demands are absurd. No questions from lawyers? I guess Ford wants to be able to claim she’s being persecuted by an all-white-male panel. She doesn’t want a woman to examine her, which I imagine is what the Republicans have in mind.
But effective cross-examination is the best way to get at the truth. And in-practice lawyers, not politicians who once may have practiced law, generally make the best cross-examiners.
If Ford is telling the truth she shouldn’t be afraid of lawyers. The Committee should reject this demand.
Kavanaugh can’t be in the room? Say what? Ford is accusing Kavanaugh of a crime. Criminal defendants aren’t booted out of the courtroom when their accusers testify. As the accused, albeit not in a criminal proceeding, the interests of justice demand that Kavanaugh be confronted with the witness against him.
Ford deserved to be heard during the official Kavaugh proceedings- Feinstein had Ford's letter since July. democrats held that letter in abeyance until after the completion of the Kavanaugh hearings in order to ambush Brett Kavanaugh.
Since then, Kavanaugh's family has been the target of vile attacks and death threats- which the let wing media has largely ignored.
"Please tell your rapist, lying, cheating, corrupt b---h of a husband to put a bullet in his ugly f-----g skull," one email to Kavanaugh’s wife read. "My condolences to you for being married to a rapist. Although you probably deserve it."Now Ford has been offered the chance to tell her story and she is resisting. Brett Kavanaugh is chomping at the bit to testify.Another email, with the subject line, "Did your know your husband is a rapist?????" stated: "Hey b---h, did you know your husband was a rapist before you married him? F--k you and your f-----g family."
A third email, typed entirely in capital letters, read, "F--K YOU AND YOUR RAPIST HUSBAND."
"F--K YOU, RAPE ENABLING C--T. YOUR HUSBAND IS A LIAR, THIEF, RAPIST AND PROBABLY A PEDOPHILE. BURN IN HELL YOU WORTHLESS F-----G C--T," the email stated. "MAY YOU, YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR KIDS BURN IN HELL YOU F-----G PIECES OF TRASH. EAAAAATTTTT S-----------T!!!!!!!!!!"
Let us also remember that Feinstein has yet to share the entire body of Ford's letter- even with the FBI. Grassley has asked for it numerous times to no avail. Everyone needs to see it.
For some time I have believed Ford is wrong about Kavanaugh. Something may have happened to her but her inability to provide specifics is eyebrow raising. She cannot remember the town, the home, how she got there, how she got home or back to school.
I think it's because she was blind stupid drunk.
My version of this story has her following a boy she had a crush on, found herself in a situation over her head, and panicked. She locks herself in the bathroom. Later, she leaves.
Again, in my version she doesn't tell Mom and Dad about it because she was drunk- at the age of 15. She tells no one. It explains why she can't remember a damned thing other than Kavanaugh.
Then in 2012, long after she's adopted a left wing political view, she sees Kavanaugh's name floated as a Romney SCOTUS nominee and decides he would be a good target for accusation and she can finally tell the parents. Kills two birds with one story.
Problem is, the boys she says were there deny Kavanaugh was present.
I think, for whatever motivation, Ford is mistaken. Just like with Anita Hill, there is a solitary accuser. An outlier. Weinstein had dozens of accusers. Al Franken had pictures. Keith Ellison has a contemporaneous police report and a medical report.
There are no other Kavanaugh accusers. None.
Which is more likely? In my mind there is no doubt.

You are so right! This is nothing but a political stunt - end of story. I am a woman and I am so disgusted with all this crap. I don’t believe her for one minute! The other thing no one mentions is how much money she will make whether or not she testifies. She will make a fortune in speaking fees, books, etc and I bet she gets over her “fear of flying” in order to travel the world telling “her story!”
Not just the Senate being held hostage.
This is holding SCOTUS and our entire Judicial system hostage for another year with 4-4 votes, keeping plaintiffs before it at a distinct disadvantage
I think both. She is a completely off the rails nuts lefty, and she is lying her a$$ off...
The women coveting power today are NOT women I identify with at all. These are women ‘seeking who they may devour’...with an interest in destroying men and their families.
The manipulation of Republicans is nothing short of embarassing. DJT doesn’t put up with it and is openly defiant. The media and D’s despise him for it because it takes their power away.
One women and her attorney making demands is all thats Holding up Scotus...with Republicans feeding the show.
A hot AP scoop that a Catholic schoolboy scored some beer?
Right...
The bigger sin would have been if he swiped it out of the parish fridge.
The biggest problem is it is not just the Democrats. If it were just the Democrats it would be far easier to deal with. The RINOs are right there standing with the Democrats, along with some other Republicans that are not true RINOs but can at times be pursuaded to go along with the Democrats.
That is the toughest part of the problem, and why President Trump has such a hard time cleaning this mess up. He has a battle every step of the way. If you look at the big picture I am amazed he has been able to get what he has been able to get done.
Right. And unicorns COULD fly out of Grassley’s butt tomorrow...
Anyone that would vote against him without seeing that letter AND her social media is an idiot. You don’t allow accusers to destroy evidence.
“I’ll take Lying Her Ass off” for $500, Alex.”
THAT is NOT her...fyi
...and the Republicans because he shows them for the morally corrupt, feckless turds they are.
Is she Blind , she’s always wearing dark glasses
Therefore it’s an obvious planned and orchestrated Demorat means of obstructing the Kavenaugh vote....I wouldn’t need to see anything nor would I have given this the light of day at all. ...coming from Feinstein should have been a heads up to all.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Put her on No Fly List. She’s said she’s psychologically unable to fly
I hope you are just joking with that...that picture has been around for years...would have been perfect if it had turned out to be her though...
They are part of the new Fox News, full Left. Especially Kirstin Fisher who is the new rising star and is clearly a Left Wing harpy fully qualified to appear on CNN or MSNBC.
