GRASSLEY: FEINSTEIN ‘REFUSED’ TO COOPERATE ON KAVANAUGH ACCUSER
Daily Caller ^ | 9/17/2018 | SAAGAR ENJETI

Posted on 09/17/2018 10:19:39 AM PDT by bitt

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley blasted ranking member Sen. Dianne Feinstein for her handling of high-school-era sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh...

....snip.. The chairman explained that “the standard procedure for updates to any nominee’s background investigation file is to conduct separate follow-up calls with relevant parties. In this case, that would entail phone calls with at least Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford,” adding, “I asked Senator Feinstein’s office yesterday to join me in scheduling these follow-ups. Thus far, they have refused. But as a necessary step in evaluating these claims, I’ll continue working to set them up.”

"Trump says Kavanaugh may be delayed

There are already cracks in the damn.

1. Even Trump is now saying a delay may happen.

2. Republican Senators Jeff Flake, Bob Corker, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins are all now leaning towards saying a hearing, under oath, needs to take place.

You think this sort of thing is going to get worked out in a week? The way the swamp works?

Now that 4 of the necessary (R)'s are getting weak-kneed this confirmation vote is looking very shaky in the best of light.

Now, whether this pisses off enough Trump supporters (including the independents and "blue dog" dems that voted for him) to get out and vote this fall, that remains to be seen. The (D)'s smell blood in the water and they will do everything to stop Trump / Kavanaugh / MAGA, etc, including rigging elections, voting by dead people illegal aliens and all the rest.

The mid-term votes in 2018 will decide a great deal of our republic's future.

"You think this sort of thing is going to get worked out in a week?"

Based on the lack of evidence presented and Feinstein's behavior, HELL YES!!! Not much there and the length of the delay needs to reflect that.

Going by your concern, this will not be delayed through Jan. 19. It's based on hearsay. 4 people were in the vicinity allegedly, the story keeps changing BTW, lol.

Apparently Grassley subscribes to the Richard Burr theory of senate committee chairmanship: let the minority run the show.

Since this isn’t going to stop Kavanaugh from being seated, Kevin de Leon might be smart figure out that this is a golden opportunity for him to turn on Feinstein, expose her whole scam, and run her out of the Senate. The #metoo Powder Puff Girls might get their feathers ruffled for a while, but the Democratic Socialists would see it as a massive win for their side.

Just as we suspected. She had though about Kavanaugh becoming a S.C. Judge.

“Her husband Russell verified that she told him about the incident at that time in an interview with the Post and “recalled that his wife used Kavanaugh’s last name and voiced concern that Kavanaugh — then a federal judge — might one day be nominated to the Supreme Court.”

Damn right. And he has the right to confront his accuser and refute the accusations. I look forward to him doing so, and making idiots of DIFI and Dems so that nobody will vote for them unless they’re as crazy as them.

Grassley doesn’t presently have the votes.

They seem to want to go to the floor with the committee approval

Push the vote through and shove it up the Dems collective.

They rammed Obamacare through.

This is our turn.

OK let’s see a show of hands...

Who DIDN’T mess around with teenage girls when you were a teenage boy?

(Half the archbishops and bishops start giving each other high-fives and butt-slaps.)

We need a Christian revival before outraged men turn to Islam!

Feminists have co-opted the churches through the "boyfriend Jesus" and "missionary position dating" / "man up and marry those sluts" movement.

She put his name in the letter, it was redacted by the media when they printed it, and she reportedly confided to her best friend that she had 64 sexual partners between 11th grade and college so she absolutely put it out.

FIFY.

***************************************
When I was a teenage boy I never did anything to a girl that could EVER be construed as sexual assault AND I’M CERTAIN NEITHER DID KAVENAUGH. It’s somewhat distressing that FReepers give ANY credence to this Agendanista’s transparent phony allegations.

Also doesn’t remember who took her there or how she got there.

She obviously was seriously wasted herself.

Or, alternatively, IT DIDN’T HAPPEN, SHE MADE IT UP.
