They never thought she would be called to testify.......................
The strategy appeared to be to hope that Kavanaugh would quit or Trump would withdraw him.
Badly, badly miscalculated.
I cannot believe that. You would have to be a naive waif from some foreign land without TVs to thing you could get away with not testifying.
This was all about delay and dirt. Just like Clarence Thomas, he will forever be smeared with this accusation. it will be in his obituary.
If the Dems could have delayed a couple more weeks, the argument would be to wait until after the election. In any event, they will use this for fundraising—as Liz Warren has already done.
No, they were trying to delay. And everyone knew it and stopped the crap.
Exactly. They thought the accusation would be enough to derail him. Since it is obviously a ploy, the story had to be filled with fuzzy recollections without any facts that could be easily disputed.
Yes they did, imho. It’s my understanding that she intended to remain anonymous but DiFi’s office leaked her identity and the rest is history. Correct me if I’m wrong on the details, but they fully expected that or she wouldn’t have (allegedly) taken a lie detector test.
Karma’s a bitch. Notoriety as an idiot is the least she deserves and I hope DiFi is investigated for her role in this character assassination.
