The attorney for Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh, sent a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley Thursday afternoon saying her client is still willing to testify, but not by the Monday deadline and given a number of conditions.
"I would like to set up a call with you later today to discuss the conditions under which Dr. Christine Blasey Ford would be prepared to testify next week. As you are aware, she has been receiving death threats, which have been reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and she and her family have been forced out of their home," the letter states. "She wishes to testify, provided that we can agree on terms that are fair and which ensure her safety. A hearing on Monday is not possible and the Committee's insstence that it occur then is arbitrary in any event. Dr. Ford has asked me to let you know that she appreciates the various options you have suggested. Her strong preference continues to be for the Senate Judiciary Committee to allow for a full investigation prior to her testimony."
"Please let us know when you are available to talk to us later today," the letter concludes.
Earlier this week Ford's lawyer, Debra Katz, said her client was willing to "do whatever it takes" to make her story known and said she was ready to testify publicly.

First steps in a Democrat stall. Either they’ll start out with unreasonable conditions, or they’ll change the conditions and demand new delays until after the elections.
this is the hill the R’s may die on
Which Dim friends of hers called in the “death threats” for her?
So far the only “evidence” is the letter to DiFi. Who won’t let anyone else see it.
Does the FBI look in to death threats to a private citizen??
or would her local PD be the people that deal with that?
Does this nutty slut run the country now??????
Too bad so sad
A day late and a dollar short
She says that she did not want to go public so therefore in her mind it was not a stop the vote issue.
Agree 100%. The witness won’t be ‘safer’ later in the week. This is more delaying tactic. Grassley should hold the line. He has been very reasonable in his offers to the accuser.
Which Dim friends of hers called in the “death threats” for her?
><
That’s right. I’d bet money on it being Dems.
It would surprise me if her “conditions” would result in a fair hearing of the matter.
YGBSM. Monday, under oath, or never.
Fakenews. Fake agreement
Does this nutty slut run the country now??????
><
No, but the bastard Dems who are using her and coaching her every step of the way, want to run it. She’s a Useful Idiot.
Grassley needs to insist on the Monday deadline. If it is so important to Ms Ford that Judge Kavanaugh not sit on the S/C, then she should show up and give her testimony. Otherwise, she is just playing political games. And I want public testimony, Anita Hill had to testify publicly and so should this person. Otherwise, this is not fair to Judge Kavanaugh or his family. Besides, sounds to me, all that happened was some rough housing by a couple of drunken kids. And, further, inquiring minds want to know, if she could not fight off one boy on top of her, how come she was able to get away with two boys on top of her? This doesn’t make any sense to me.
Cancel everything and VOTE GRASSLEY,this is a joke!
Maybe she just provided the letter to difi so later the judge could be blackmailed during a Supreme Court case
Gee, they were anonymous death threats? Maybe difi has letters she’ll hold for a couple months with the actual names on them.
Grassley should agree to nothing without the full, inredacted text from Feinstein.
