'I Hope You're Listening': Susan Collins Blasts Ford 'Leaker' in Kavanaugh 'Yea' Speech
Fox News ^ | 10/05/18 | Shepard Smith

Posted on 10/06/2018 10:59:12 AM PDT by ZeroToHero

Maine Sen. Susan Collins gave an approximately 40-minute Senate floor speech in which she blasted the state of the Supreme Court nomination process, ripped the unidentified "leaker" of Christine Blasey Ford's identity and confirmed she will support Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

Collins, a Republican, addressed the unknown leaker directly:

"To the leaker, who I hope is listening now, let me say that what you did was unconscionable," Collins said. "You have taken a survivor who was not only entitled to your respect but who also trusted you to protect her and you have sacrificed her well-being in a misguided attempt to win whatever political crusade you think you are fighting."

The “leaker” was part of the Democrat Ford plan all along. For most likely knew it was coming. She was certainly prepared thoroughly for it.

Hate to tell you Susan but the whole SBF experience is a lie right down to her cute girl expression.

If you listened to Grassley just now it would seem that person is laughing up their sleeve.

Note how Ford had us prepped for a little girl by releasing only her age 15 pic in sunglasses until she looked up at the cameras and told us she’s terrified. If any of us saw her wrinkles and age, then blame Kavenaugh.

Um no. Ford was part of the conspiracy and is a liar.

Two old whores.

One sold herself to the Chinese and the other to Willie Brown.

The fact that by early August Ford had (1) retained an attorney, (2) taken her fake “polygraph” and (3) had her internet history thoroughly, professionally scrubbed .... indicates that she was quite ready to “go public” if necessary. Probably she did *hope* that she could just force Kavanaugh and/or Trump into withdrawing the nomination with the mere fact of a secretive fake *allegation* but surely she was ready for a public battle if needed.

This whole thing is such a crock.....

Well? Was ChiDiFi in the room or not?

My take is Ford wanted to be a sniper and when the shot barely wounded Kavanaugh the Rats threw her into the front of the troop carrier at Normandy.

Ford was a full participant in the political crusade from the beginning. There was no leaker, it was all an orchestrated plan by her and the demonrats from start to finish.
GOP needs to stop pretending that she’s some kind of victim in this charade.

Collins was FANTASTIC. Not because WE agree with everything she said, but it would be hard for the other side to not agree with most of what she said. She is a liberal Republican after all. She was very convincing, hell so convincing she had me questioning Brett as a scotus judge in the first place, lol!

This is not going to change any minds on the left, but what she's doing there is shifting the blame for their fiasco right back on them, an in sotto voce saying, I might have opposed him otherwise.

I don’t think Susan Collins really believes Ballsy Ford is a victim exploited by the Rats. But of course Collins feels she has to say that.

Ballsy Ford is a Trump-hating abortion-loving FemiNazi nut job who knew exactly what she was doing when she made up her fake accusations against Kavanaugh. She should be mocked as a nut job, labelled as a liar, and slut-shamed for the rest of her skanky miserable life.
