Grassley agrees to give Ford more time to decide on Senate testimony
Enough! You're getting played.

[Image: maxresdefault.jpg]

Quote:The Senate Judiciary Committee has given Ford's attorneys a deadline of 2:30 p.m. ET Saturday to respond with their decision, a committee source confirmed to CNN.
The panel has proposed holding a hearing next Wednesday in which it would hear testimony from both Kavanaugh and Ford, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
Kavanaugh has denied the sexual assault allegation.

The committee earlier Friday had set a deadline of 5 p.m. ET for Ford to decide, later extending that to 10 p.m. In response, Debra Katz, who is representing Ford, wrote in a letter to the committee that its "cavalier treatment of a sexual assault survivor who has been doing her best to cooperate with the Committee is completely inappropriate."

Keep in mind that some of this is to set a precedent the next time a democratic president tries to run a male Ruth Bader Ginsburg thru the process.

RE: Grassley agrees to give Ford more time to decide on Senate testimony
Your prescription is directed at the wrong patient.

Sen. Grassley has been nothing short of masterful in handling the Kavanaugh confirmation process, despite a completely unprincipled ambush orchestrated by the Democrat Party and facilitated by a press eager to ignore all facts and tout all lies so as to drive its false narrative.

If the Kavanaugh confirmation fails, and it still might, it will not be the fault of Sen. Grassley and the Republican establishment. It will be 90% the fault of a morally bankrupt Democrat Party and a dishonest press - - and 10% the fault of a persistently stupid president who cannot keep his short, fat and ignorant fingers off of the tweeting buttons.

I'll praise Grassley up to a point and I'm quickly reaching that point. How many red lines of death does he have to set and allow them to cross before the hammer falls or everyone finally says he lacks a backbone so let's walk all over him? As for the Magnificient Orange Bastard, he's far better at yanking dim chains and making their heads explode than I. If he thinks it's time to do so, so be it.

We agree on everything else.

The more I look at this, the more I see democrats as a bunch of young radicals on a mission to impose Alinsky's socialist dream state versus a bunch of old fuddy-duddy republicans who don't realize what they are up against. The democrats have a clear mission focus, the republicans don't.

I agree that if the Kavanaugh nomination fails it will be 90% due to democrats and the press. But that's what they want. They don't give a damn whether the allegations are true or not. They can be used to defeat or at least hold up Kavanaugh's confirmation, and that's all that matters.

Compare and contrast Harris and Booker with McConnell and Grassley. In guerrilla warfare, the side with more commitment to mission usually wins, at least in the long run. That ain't republicans, at least not these republicans.

I get the feeling that she got herself swept up in this and is either afraid to testify for whatever reason, or her handlers don't want her to testify because they believe she'll crack or won't come across as believeable. Of course, as everyone knows, the real goal has nothing to do with discovering the truth and everything to do with delaying and ultimately defeating Kavanaugh.

Odd that Feinstein hasn't turned over the original letter requested by Grassley. What's up with that?

RE: Grassley agrees to give Ford more time to decide on Senate testimony
Deadline is 230 PM Eastern today.

35 minutes.

I predict Ford's attorney will decline the current offer, claiming that the Republicans are bullying her client, etc etc. etc, this is sexist, blah blah and that Kavanaugh is a rapist and Grassley and the Republicans are a bunch of old men out to protect a criminal and that voters should remember this blah blah.

Grassley golds a vote Monday. No Democrat shows up.

She will “appear” but no word under under what conditions.

I think it’s a another set up for another delay.

RE: Grassley agrees to give Ford more time to decide on Senate testimony
Donations needed!!!! Senator Grassley needs your help clearly he needs a replacement pair.

[Image: Silicone-vs-Salinje-Testicular-Implant-D...apolis.jpg]

My prediction: She will not show on Wednesday as required saying she was unable to make the required travel arrangements further she will only testify IF Kavanaugh goes first ON Thursday.


IF this happens I vote straight democrat cause it makes no difference.

RE: Grassley agrees to give Ford more time to decide on Senate testimony
Here’s what I don’t understand. If she really had something, don’t you think she’d want to have her day in court? We are not going to do it unless you do it my way smacks of someone trying to delay or disrupt rather than to see justice done.

Quote:Dr. Ford accepts the Committee's request to provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct next week. Although many aspects of the proposal you provided via email, on September 21, 2018, at 2:33 pm, are fundamentally inconsistent with the Committee's promise of a fair, impartial investigation into her allegations, and we are disappointed with the leaks and the bullying that have tainted the process, we are hopeful that we can reach agreement on details. Can we set up a time for later this afternoon to continue our negotiations?

Sincerely,

Just as finally agreeing to testify has been dragged out to the fullest, agreeing to the details will also be dragged out to the fullest. Put your big ole foot down Grassley and either get her in there on the day you want or take it to a vote on the floor. Time to stop ******* around.

If she really wanted it investigated she could file a police report in Montgomery County MD if this is deemed sexual assault there is no statute of limitations since she was 15 at the time. If it's not considered sexual assault then no investigation would have, HOWEVER if this never happened she could be charged with filing a false police report.

Next email from Grassley to her lawyers:

Dear Debbie and Lisa:

Thank you for your commitment to provide your client’s testimony.
As far as “details” regarding her testimony, there is nothing to discuss. The hearing will be conducted pursuant to present Senate procedures and Rules. Please refer to my earlier email. I look forward to seeing you and your client next week. 9:00 AM Senate Judiciary Committee Room.
Be there. Aloha.

Chuck

RE: Grassley agrees to give Ford more time to decide on Senate testimony
I believe there were 5 people at the alleged "pool party" Ford says the assault took place at. Ed Whalen, Mark Judge, Kavanaugh, Ford and a girl named P J Smyth. Why hasn't this girl/woman came forward to say Ford is correct about the party attendees and over details like address and maybe month & year? Could it be Ford made it all up and that is why Whalen and Judge say they never attended such a party?

Don't think Ed Whalen was there. And PJ Smyth I believe is a guy.
