"In the coming days, Ford's decision to send a letter to Rep. Anna G. Eshoo, a House member with zero jurisdiction over,
and with no authority to investigate presidential nominations, rather than Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who has explicit jurisdiction,
is going to get a lot more scrutiny." US statute 18 USC 1001 suggests that in the matter of a specific presidential nomination
pending before the US Senate, statements made to a House member on that matter may not be covered by the statute's prohibition
on false statements."

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.

I suggest the baby Harp seal cure, followed by the DC cherry tree hemp cure.

Absolutely.

Any question over whether Ford's claim is covered by the statute, if a false statement made to a House member "may" or may not be covered under the statute, could be resolved by a determination of Ford's intent.

If Ford's letter was indeed addressed to Eshoo, one of the issues could be whether Dr. Ford intended to make an ineffectual false claim, or whether she intended or had reason to rely on the belief that Eshoo would forward the statement to a counterpart sitting on the Senate committee.

Is the actual letter that Finestein claims to have received addressed to Finestein, or is she also implicated in this attempt to avoid criminal penalty?

Not to mention her smearing and defaming of Mark Judge - a private person who could be financially damaged by the accusation of participating in multiple felonies, including violent crimes. He should take her for every penny she has or could earn for the rest of her life. He has the exact same iron-clad witness testimony on record that Kavanaugh has.

Check me if I’m wrong - is Chrissie Blatantly-Whored’s refusal to allow “the letter” to released to the full committee a recognition by her handlers that the letter would become the equivalent of “sworn testimony” and thus subject to perjury charges?

HA..! We haven't seen a whole lot of that lately...!
