But having a closed hearing is a win-win for our side. It forces her to appear, there is no excuse left for her not to show. And second, it cuts the Dems off at the knees in making this hearing a national spectacle (which you know they will do if its public with all the media involved).
If she doesn't show it looks bad for the Dems ... if she does then she has to answer a lot of very difficult questions and the likelihood that she will be exposed as a total liar is high. You know the more astute Pubs will be armed with her FB quotes, her relationship to the Soros lawyer, etc. She will be shown to be a political hack whose motivations are political.
For once, the Pubs have backed the Dems into a corner ... they are in a lose-lose situation here. They lose if she bails, they lose if she comes.
Perhaps I'm missing something ... but I see this as a win-win for us.
My big thing is my confidence in the depravity of the Dems to produce another accuser this weekend as a last ditch effort. Then they can claim "one woman does not make a pattern of behavior ... but two makes it more likely these accounts are true." And I'm guessing James Carville is as we speak flashing $100s in every trailer park looking for that second witness.
I am with you on this one a closed hearing is MUCH BETTER for our side, the Dems create a circus in front of the cameras our side will NOT have to walk on eggshells when questioning this LYING POS win, win, for us!!! This bitch will NEVER show up either way, she IS LYING and will never go under oath NEVER!!!!
How's that, seeing as Feinstein would just leak the full transcript afterwards, like she did Glenn Simpson's (FusionGPS) closed-door hearing transcript.
