Christine Blasey Ford is a brave woman. She will receive death threats. Republicans will drag her name through the dirt. We will hear stories about how she would have sex on a first date, how she seduced the math teacher, about the night she accommodated the entire football team, etc., etc.

 

Looks like lady yellow teeth wants to run and hide now. Seems she's not to keen on the idea of having her voice heard in Congress.

The Republicans have giving her a chance to speak to Congress and the American people. But so far, no word from Mrs. Ford....

 

Here is something to think about. If the left doesn't like Kavanaugh, what makes you folks think you will like the next one Trump picks any better?

 

You mean like the Democrats have been doing to Kavanaugh?

I hope judge Kavanaugh remembers how corrupt and dishonest leftwing Democrats are after this is over and he takes his place on the USSC...

 

Grassley suggests last-minute Kavanaugh hearing could be canceled if accuser doesn’t accept invite

By Alex Pappas | Fox News

Lawmakers seek last-minute hearing with the Supreme Court nominee and his sexual assault accuser Christine Ford; Peter Doocy reports on the latest from Capitol Hill.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley on Tuesday raised the possibility that next week’s high-stakes open hearing to examine the sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh could be canceled if the accuser doesn’t accept the committee’s invitation.



Grassley, R-Iowa, scheduled a hearing for Monday for Kavanaugh and accuser Christine Blasey Ford to answer questions from senators about the allegation. But Grassley said during a Tuesday radio interview that his office has reached out several times to Ford and her attorneys to discuss her allegation, but has heard nothing back.

“We have reached out to her in the last 36 hours three or four times by email and we have not heard from them, and it kind of raises the question, do they want to come to the public hearing or not?” Grassley said on The Hugh Hewitt Show.

Asked whether there would be a hearing if Ford did not agree to appear, Grassley suggested he couldn’t see a reason to hold one.

“What would be the purpose of the hearing if Dr. Ford doesn’t want to respond?” Grassley said.


In the case Ford accepts the invitation, Grassley said he is considering the possibility of having an independent questioner ask all the questions to Ford.

Ford, a California-based professor, revealed her identity over the weekend in a Washington Post report. She said that Kavanaugh, while in high school, pinned her down, tried to remove her bathing suit and put his hand over her mouth when she attempted to scream. Kavanaugh has denied the allegation.

The announcement of the last-minute hearing evoked memories of the 1991 Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, where senators scrambled to arrange a hearing after Thomas was confronted with sexual harassment accusations by law professor Anita Hill. Thomas denied the accusations and was narrowly confirmed.

During television appearances on Monday, Ford’s attorney, Debra Katz, indicated her client was “willing to take whatever it takes to get her story forth,” and would testify before the committee under oath. But Katz has not confirmed that Ford will show up for Monday’s open hearing, which would be aired live on television.

Speculation about whether Ford will ultimately accept the invitation follows reports she was reluctant to go public with her accusation after tipping off congressional Democrats.

Grassley, announcing the Monday hearing, said it would "give these recent allegations a full airing."


White House spokesman Raj Shah said Kavanaugh is willing to testify.

“Judge Kavanaugh looks forward to a hearing where he can clear his name of this false allegation. He stands ready to testify tomorrow if the Senate is ready to hear him,” Shah said.

Democrats have called for delaying Kavanaugh’s vote until there is a full FBI review of the matter.

But Grassley told Hewitt on Tuesday that the FBI investigation “is closed” and that the FBI is not doing any further investigation.

Meanwhile, Kavanaugh was spotted Tuesday arriving at the White House for meetings – as he did the day before.

President Trump on Monday stood by Kavanaugh, calling him one of the “finest people that I have ever known” while acknowledging a "little delay" may be necessary before the nomination is voted on in the Senate.

In his first public comments on the controversy, the president also criticized Democrats over the timing of the allegation.

“I wish the Democrats could have done this a lot sooner because they had this information for many months," Trump told reporters at the White House. "And they shouldn't have waited until literally the last days. They should have done it a lot sooner.”

The president said he’s open to delaying the confirmation proceedings in Congress while the allegations are investigated.

"If it takes a little delay it'll take a little delay," Trump said. "It shouldn't certainly be very much."

Kavanaugh has forcefully denied the sexual assault accusations Ford alleged took place while the two were in high school.

"This is a completely false allegation. I have never done anything like what the accuser describes — to her or to anyone," Kavanaugh said in a statement. "Because this never happened, I had no idea who was making the accusation until she identified herself yesterday."

All 10 Democrats on the committee on Monday have urged Grassley to postpone the vote on Kavanaugh's nomination. Multiple sources told Fox News Thursday's committee confirmation vote has been postponed amid the newly scheduled hearing.

Trump admits he doesn’t want Kavanaugh sexual assault claims probed: ‘I don’t think the FBI should be involved’

*That is just a blatant and stupid lie. If they wanted to give everyone a chance to say what they want they would have the
FBI investigate and honor the Democrats request to have Kavanaugh's friend Mark Judge testify under oath.


https://www.rawstory.com/2018/09/tr...ssault-claims-probed-dont-think-fbi-involved/

 

The FBI does not investigate non criminal cases.... These allegations were made about something that happen well past the statute of limitations....

 

Christine Blasey Ford revealed to friend in 2017 that she was sexually assaulted by a ‘federal judge’

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/09/christine-ford-revealed-friend-2017-sexually-assault-federal-judge/

 

Looks like the liar Ford is going to be a no-show at Congress.

She's probably too busy smoking crack and putting on the red light...

 

Even shooter knows attacking the victim is the asshole thing to do.

 

Assume fords story is absolutely true.
Does it disqualify kavanaugh for the supreme court?
No.

 

I'd tend to agree with you.

But if he lied about it happening at all? That does.

 

Especially in the eyes of a Democrat. Bill Clinton was a serial rapist and lifelong pervert. However, that didn't stop him from being elected president twice....

 

Feinstein blames GOP after Kavanaugh accuser stays mum, admits 'I can't say everything's truthful'

By Gregg Re | Fox News
Brett Kavanaugh offers to testify, no reply yet from accuser
Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh says he'll testify under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee, but his accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford has not accepted Sen. Grassley's invitation yet; chief congressional correspondent Mike Emanuel reports from Capitol Hill.

Senate Judiciary Committee ranking Democrat Dianne Feinstein on Tuesday blamed Republicans for failing to get in touch with Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford ahead of a planned hearing on Monday, even as GOP leaders said they've made repeated attempts to reach out, and accused Feinstein of refusing to help.



Feinstein, who has vouched for Ford's credibility, also admitted she could not verify that Ford's allegations were entirely true.

"I have no say, I'm the lead Democrat. ... I think it's really too bad that no one called her, or called her lawyer," Feinstein, D-Calif., told Fox News on Tuesday. "My understanding is she got emails. This is a woman who has been profoundly impacted by this. Now, I can't say everything's truthful. I don't know. But I do know that you've got to contact her lawyers."


Ford's attorney, Debra Katz, did not respond to Fox News' requests for comment Tuesday.

"I can't say everything's truthful. I don't know."

- Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
Republicans have told Fox News they left both emails and voicemails with Ford's attorney and have offered to hold either a public or closed-door session with the California professor, who went public as Kavanaugh's accuser on Sunday after sending an anonymous letter to Feinstein's office in July detailing her accusation that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her more than 35 years ago. A person close to Ford told The New York Times that the accuser is "effectively in hiding" and has arranged for private security for herself and her family.


Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has threatened to nix the Monday hearing into Ford's accusations if she does not respond.


For her part, Feinstein acknowledged Ford's participation would be critical.

"I hope that people will let her be, and I hope that her lawyers will let her come back and straighten this out," Feinstein said as she left her Senate office late Tuesday. She also told Fox News that, if Ford doesn't testify, "I can't tell you what impact" there would be on Kavanaugh's confirmation.

Republican leaders excoriated Feinstein on Monday for revealing the existence of Ford's letter's only last Thursday, after a report describing it was published by The Intercept -- which Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., suggested was the result of a coordinated leak by Senate Democrats.


"The Minority withheld even the anonymous allegations for six weeks, only to later decide that they were serious enough to investigate on the eve of the committee vote, after the vetting process had been completed," Grassley, R-Iowa, said in a statement Monday, which also noted that "Dr. Ford deserves to be heard."

Grassley also accused Feinstein of refusing to help set up follow-up calls involving Kavanaugh and Ford, which he called "standard procedure" when there are updates to a nominee's background file.

"I asked Senator Feinstein’s office yesterday to join me in scheduling these follow-ups," Grassley wrote. "Thus far, they have refused. But as a necessary step in evaluating these claims, I’ll continue working to set them up."

In a tweet Tuesday evening, Feinstein dismissed the suggestion that she had delayed revealing the accusation to derail Kavanaugh's nomination, and instead praised Ford for her bravery.


"During every step of this process, I’ve found every single piece of information from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford eminently credible, sincere and believable," Feinstein wrote. "She knew this would have a huge effect on her life and she was incredibly brave to come forward."


The California senator reiterated her view that the FBI should probe the accusations, writing that the agency similarly "investigated Anita Hill’s allegations of sexual harassment against Clarence Thomas."

Feinstein's comments came as Mark Judge, a friend of Kavanaugh whom Ford accused of being in the room during the alleged sexual assault, told the Judiciary Committee he did not want to testify.

"I did not ask to be involved in this matter nor did anyone ask me to be involved," Judge wrote in a letter to Grassley. "The only reason I am involved is because Dr. Christine Blasey Ford remembers me as the other person in the room during the alleged assault."

Judge continued: "In fact, I have no memory of the alleged incident. Brett Kavanaugh and I were friends in high school but I do not recall the party described in Dr. Ford's letter. More to the point, I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes."

Judge could still be subpoenaed by congressional Republicans, but top Judiciary Committee members have signaled that won't happen.



“No reason to,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told reporters. “He’s already said what he’s going to say. I want to hear from her, if she wants to speak, and I want to hear from [Kavanaugh]."

Graham dismissed a reporter's comparison to the widely televised Judiciary Committee hearings into alleged sexual harassment by Thomas in 1991, in which Anita Hill and other witnesses testified before his eventual confirmation to the Supreme Court. Thomas called the hearings a "circus" and a "high-tech lynching" of a black conservative.

Hill on Tuesday wrote an op-ed in The New York Times urging that the hearings into Ford's accusation not be rushed, and claiming the nominee to the nation's highest court "has the burden of persuasion."

"You’re talking about history," Graham said. "We’re not looking back. We’re looking forward.”

Senate Democrats have called for Monday's hearing to be delayed pending a full FBI investigation.


Other prominent Republicans came to Kavanaugh's defense on Tuesday. In an interview with Politico, former President George W. Bush said, “Laura and I have known and respected Brett Kavanaugh for decades, and we stand by our comments the night Judge Kavanaugh was nominated.”

Kavanaugh worked in the Bush White House Counsel's office, and later married the president's personal secretary.

President Trump on Tuesday continued his defense of the nominee.

"This is is not a man who deserves this," Trump said, noting that Ford's claims "should've been brought up long ago."

Adding that he felt "terribly" for Kavanaugh's "beautiful young daughters," Trump added that "hopefully the woman will come forward, state her case. ... before members of the US Senate."

Ford alleged that Kavanaugh forced himself onto her and covered her mouth in the 1980s, when Kavanaugh was 17 and she was 15. Ford did not mention the incident to others by her own admission until 2012, according to The Washington Post, when her therapist recorded her claim that four individuals had committed the assault.

Ford has since claimed that the therapist incorrectly recorded that detail, and that she had said there were only two people in the room. Her husband has maintained that Ford mentioned Kavanaugh and Judge's name in the therapy sessions.

The allegations have upended Kavanaugh's confirmation process, delaying a planned Judiciary Committee vote on Thursday on whether to advance his nomination to the full Senate.

If Ford does appear at Monday's hearing, some Republicans have voiced concern at the optics of having the all-male Republican contingent on the Judiciary Committee questioning her. Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins, a moderate, has suggested that Kavanaugh and Ford's attorneys question the witnesses in the case.

 

And what is there to say now that there are 6 more people wanting to come forward to prove Kavanaugh lied under oath?

 

Oh?
And what, exactly has kavanaugh lied about?

Save us all some time, and lets not rehash the already discredited spew from butt hurt liberals.
