And the GOP response hasn’t changed much either. What Grassley says here is the same thing the GOP said when Democrats demanded more documents, i.e. we’re not delaying this confirmation. As Grassley put it above, Ford’s opportunity to be heard is Monday. There’s no need for additional delay, not for the FBI and not because Ford is worried about TV cameras. She can tell her story in open session or closed session but she can tell it on Monday. And if she refuses to show up, the vote should proceed without further delay.
Update: Here’s Grassley’s letter to Ford’s attorneys in which he makes the same points he made in his tweets

How's that, seeing as Feinstein would just leak the full transcript afterwards, like she did Glenn Simpson's (FusionGPS) closed-door hearing transcript.
Thank you!
Eacylt. Why do we give these republicans power if they give it away at the first opportunity?
Man, some Freepers can really come up with the best story lines. LMAO.
“I’ve said all along, Grassley has made a career out of being underestimated. “
I guarantee you Grassley did not vote for Trump in 2016. That’s all you need to know. That’s why he’s been supporting the mueller coup and supporting Sessions against criticism for the past year.
Kavanaugh gets a high tech lynching and character assassination (for life) and this political whore and fraudster with zero factual memory and shady recall is coddled and treated with kid gloves.
She looks a bit like Hillary to me.
This is the #MeToo era, yet another Leftist movement meant to stomp out all opposition. This IS The Resist Movement. Kick their ass, President Trump.
This is BS Grassley. Grow a pair. Let her confront Kavanaugh in front of the public. We need to see what a BS artist she really is.
Why Grassley chooses to provide her with a closed door alternative is beyond my understanding. But then, I'm not a spineless jellyfish. The only thing I can think of is that Grassley has to appease the most stupid Republican in the Senate, Susan Collins.
What exactly does she want the FBI to investigate? A non-federal crime which may or may not have happened 30 years ago? At an address she can’t remember on a date she can’t recall?
That’s ridiculous...The Democrats and Media will spin the meeting to Ford’s favor...
Good to see Grassley has a pretty smart lawyer on his staff to write this kind of stuff.
CLOSED SESSION??????? What the hell is that. We’re not old enough to hear a woman cry rape falsely? How the hell can this affect national security. Screw Grassley!
dont worry about it. Once kavanaugh gets to SCOTUS he’ll remember what the left did to his daughters and his reputation. Gorsuch also knows it’s payback time for the experience he took from the left..
Perhaps they should have held Kavanaugh’s hearings in closed session. Why in the world is she given this advantage?
Grassley’s letter is perfect.
But she said she is not talking to them unless the FBI investigates which they will not.
So I can assume they will be voting no whichever date the vote is held.
