    Default Another attempted delay in the making?

    And if so, McConnell needs to say ENOUGH and put things up to a vote and move on without her, she had every opportunity possible. She is so concerned about a "circus" or this or that - but hell, they even offered to go to her!! It's SO obvious...

    ENOUGH ALREADY

    Dianne Feinstein: ‘I Have No Way of Knowing’ if Ford Will Testify Thursday

    Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said Tuesday she does not know if California psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford — who recently brought forth an allegation of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh — will testify Thursday.

    Asked whether she expects Ford to testify before the Senate Judicial Committee Thursday if outside counsel is slated to ask the accuser questions, Feinstein replied “I have no way of knowing” if she will show up.



    In a letter sent to Chairman Grassley Monday evening, Ford’s attorneys criticized the panel’s hiring of an “experienced sex crimes prosecutor” to partake in the testimony, suggesting the professor may renege on the agreement to appear.

    “In our view, the hiring of an unnamed ‘experienced sex crimes prosecutor’ as Mr. Davis described in his email, is contrary to the Majority’s repeated emphasis on the need for the Senate and this Committee’s members to fulfill their constitutional obligations,” wrote lawyer Michael Bromwich. “It is also inconsistent with your stated wish to avoid a ‘circus,’ as well as Dr. Blasey Ford’s repeated requests through counsel that senators conduct the questioning. This is not a criminal trial for which the involvement of an experienced sex crimes prosecutor would be appropriate.”

    Feinstein’s admission comes the same day that infamous “Creepy Porn Lawyer” and 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Michael Avenatti locked his Twitter account after admitting an anonymous client may choose not to come forward with “credible information” regarding Kavanaugh.

    Goes on my List of "Beyond Stupid".

    When will Dems and other assorted liberals grow up?

    I say stop it now, bring up all of these accusers and lawyers up on charges
    of Slander and Obstruction of Congress.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    The key to all of this is that the "experienced sex crimes prosecutor" is a woman. Her background would not only keep Dr. Ford from playing gotcha games but would deny the Dems the optic of 'old white guy Republicans' badgering a poor sexual assault victim. The only real point for having Dr. Ford appear in the first place.

    We need to send this into overtime, time for the Hail Mary:

    Avenatti releases graphic Kavanaugh allegations, calls for new delay

    Avenatti releases name, photo of third Kavanaugh accuser

    Julie Swetnick is the third woman to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.

    Attorney Michael Avenatti, on the eve of Brett Kavanaugh's high-profile hearing to address sexual misconduct allegations, identified and released a "sworn declaration" from a woman who claims the Supreme Court nominee was involved in "gang" rapes in the early 1980s.
    Avenatti’s client was identified as Julie Swetnick, who further claims in the statement that Kavanaugh and a friend were "present" when she became a "victim of one of these 'gang' or 'train' rapes" in 1982.

    This really sounds like code for: 'Ford isn't going to show up'. I could just see that, too, letting the whole process sit for 4 days, even though she already decided not to come. We'll see.

    By the way, I hope the first question she gets asked (if she shows up) is this: "Where did you get those stupid sunglasses?"
