It’s official: Christine Blasey Ford will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday regarding her allegation that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh attempted to rape her when they were teenagers. Ford committed to testify after she and her lawyers reached a deal with Committee aides on Sunday. Some details still need to be resolved ahead of the hearing, Ford’s lawyers said, but nothing that would prevent her from testifying. Kavanaugh, who has repeatedly denied Ford’s accusation, will also testify this week.

Ford’s public testimony will come just 11 days after she came forward with her allegation and upended what had seemed to be a sure-thing confirmation for the ultra-conservative Kavanaugh. Since then, Kavanaugh’s allies have tried to discredit Ford, an effort which has included outlandish conspiracy theories, a right-wing smear campaign, a Twitter attack from President Trump, and more than one self-serving suggestion that men like Kavanaugh should not have to face any consequences for whatever they did as teenage boys.

Ford received death threats after she came forward, forcing her and her husband and two children to move out of their home. Kavanaugh and his wife have received death threats as well, though he has already been living under the protection of U.S. Marshalls since being nominated in July. The raging debate over Ford’s accusation and its implications has led to wall-to-wall news coverage, and polls have subsequently showed that the already unpopular Kavanaugh has become even less desirable in the eyes of voters as a result.

As far as the remaining details both sides need to work out, the most notable one is who will question Ford during her testimony. Ford wants to be questioned by the senators on the Committee themselves, while Republicans on the Committee, all men, reportedly want to assign outside counsel to take their place, like female staff attorneys, in order to avoid the optics of a sexual assault survivor being publicly interrogated by an all-male group of Republican senators less than two months before the midterms. Ford’s lawyers have objected to that possibility, since outside counsel would be more likely to treat Ford as if she were being prosecuted.

[funfan]

They have not agreeded to anything really except Thursday which has been Fords stance all along. They still want him to go first. A bunch of lies and crap is all this is.

One really has to be amazed that a 36 year old accusation with no evidence by a mentally unstable liberal could be actually considered.

• She does not remember when the incident occurred.
• She does not know where this house the incident occurred at is. .
• She does not know who invited her to the party. .
• She does not know who she went with to the party. .
• She does not know how she got home from the party. .
• She talked to no one about the incident fr 30 years. .
• She has "repressed memories" of an incident. .
• She told the therapist 4 men were involved. .
• She never told the therapist Kavanaugh's name. .
• The three men she has named at this alleged party have all said it never happened. .
• A friend of hers who attended parties like this has said she never saw this happen. .
• She wants the FBI to investigate.

  Democrats believe her. Democrats say Kavanaugh is guilty. Democrats demand an investigation.

  Does anyone really see any logic in:

  1. Considering anything this woman says? or

  2. Consider anything Democrats say?

Dear Great Senator Feinstein I was held hostage and raped repeatedly or was I ,I can’t remember ,but yes ,LOL

[rolling_stone]

I git 2 bits says that if she DOES (and I highly doubt she will) but IF she does, she will dress like an Amish librarian

The accuser is Lucy holding the football, and Chuck Assley is Charlie Brown being fooled over and over again when Lucy pulls the football away. “But this time I won’t, Charlie Brown”.

“Brett Kavanaugh attempted to rape her’

Well, that blows out of the water any claim that the MSM is unbiased. She NEVER said he tried to rape her. She said he tried to get some of her clothes off.......and her swimming suit was on underneath. EVERYONE ELSE of consequence says IT DIDNT HAPPEN. That being said, I would Ike Whoopie to set us straight on whether or not SHE would consider this RAPE-RAPE.

Is Ford part of Feinstein’s reelection campaign ?
