Plaintiff has waived her right to appear or to give private testimony.

She has no right to anything because she has no proof any of this ever happened except in her imagination - AND there’s every indication in the world she’s just a pussy-hat clad leftist “resistor” attempting (and evidently succeeding) in throwing yet another roadblock in the way of Trump’s nominee.
This is absolutely disgraceful. If Grassley gave her until 10:00 AM this morning, she should have HAD until 10:00 AM this morning. If she doesn’t respond and they just draw another line in the sand, I’ll lose even MORE respect for these congressional eunuchs, which I didn’t think was possible.
You are right. This is a hearing, not a trial. When I wrote “right to appear,” I was referring to the “right” that Grassley gave her, I.e., respond by 10 am today. We agree that at 10 am he should have said “Time is up.”
Republicans will never learn how to play for keeps against these evil bastards destroying the Republic. They want to play pat-a-cake, not rerun Sherman’s March.
