"In the coming days, Ford's decision to send a letter to Rep. Anna G. Eshoo, a House member with zero jurisdiction over or authority to investigate presidential nominations, rather than Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who has explicit jurisdiction, is going to get a lot more scrutiny."

"A plain reading of 18 USC 1001 suggests that in the matter of a specific presidential nomination pending before the U.S. Senate, statements made to a House member on that matter may not be covered by the statute's prohibition on false statements."

There is a reason so-called lie-detector tests are NOT admissible in court.

& who advised her to do that?? Hmmm..
This has been a carefully calculated smear from the start! Ford & all her cohorts should be sued, locked up.

Glad you posted this. I follow Sean Davis’ twitter feed.

I saw this last evening, but was too tired to post.

This entire episode was planned well in advance by well-funded leftists in California who decided to destroy someone who has sterling establishment credentials, and, by many accounts, one of the finest legal minds in the country.

They forgot that money and arrogance don’t always win.

Ut, oh. No wonder she's hemming and hawing about testifying.

Ford's deliberate smearing and defaming an honorable jurist----endangering his family's life and liberties----
must be met with a generous measure of US justice.

The letter is not relevant.

The comments of fact in Ford’s high school yearbook will be relevant and every Republican on the committee must question Ford about her ‘activities’ and ‘proclivities’ with boys while in high school.

Grassley will never see the letter. Feinstein is a communists Democrat and will burn it first. Grassley should have the vote Monday but will not now since Ford is ordering him around like a puppet. Latest is Thursday for hitting the pile of weak Republicans that never learned how to fight and never will.

Grassley sbould call for an immediate comittee vote, no Ford hearing, unless chifi hands over the unredacted letter.

Meanwhile, get a sworn statement from Ford’s therapist. She already released the notes, so privacy is waived. Subpoena her if need be.

How many extensions & changing terms has Republican Grassley given this accuser who has no credible claim???

Let's face it folks, with flakes like Jeff and pro abortionists Collins and Murkowski, the Senate is still under RAT control.

I think it will turn out that Ford has been “handled” by Dem operatives and lawyers since 2012. She was like a sleeper cell waiting for Kavanaugh’s nomination to be activated.

A psychopath passes a lie detector test because he truly believes everything he says is the truth.

I have a bipolar, Xanax addicted in law like that. She got pissed at me for calling her stupid (she is) and began telling my wife that I was stalking her. After she told the story several times, she came to believe it actually happened. I guarantee she could pass a lie detector test claiming I stalked her.

As of this date Ford has made no formal complaint against Kavanaugh. Not to the relevant authorities. Not to the Senate Judicial Committee. No signed statements. No statement under oath. As of this time she is under no legal liability. If she were to appear she’ll probably refuse to take any oath or take the fifth.

Some time ago, this article appeared in the Daily Post. The suggestion was the letter may have been written by a Stanford Law professor. That professor is unnamed.

the letter was submitted to kill kavanaughs chances of confirmation...it was reviewed annd investigated by the commitee confirming him..imo it applies...

also

how about a plain reading of 18 U.S. Code § 1505 - Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees

Whoever, with intent to avoid, evade, prevent, or obstruct compliance, in whole or in part, with any civil investigative demand duly and properly made under the Antitrust Civil Process Act, willfully withholds, misrepresents, removes from any place, conceals, covers up, destroys, mutilates, alters, or by other means falsifies any documentary material, answers to written interrogatories, or oral testimony, which is the subject of such demand; or attempts to do so or solicits another to do so; or

Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States, or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress—

Shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.

then if sent by mail or email, not hand delivered mail or wire fraud may apply..

20 years..

IOW, this has been in the works for a very long time and directed by those who knew how to play it. We need names.

Doesn’t it seem odd there are zero current photos of her given the omnipotent presence of cameras around anyone newsworthy. Is she holed up somewhere and has never shown her face publicly since this started? Nice thing to do to her family (not to mention Kavanaugh’s) - for what?
