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.”

I’m with you there, but two GOP members won’t vote “yea” without a hearing.

Since when does the FBI get involved in such allegations? I thought they had better things to do like spreading fake dossiers.

Pathetic.

Here is the conclusion section of the abstract of her Phd dissertation (Blasey, Christine Margaret. University of Southern California, ProQuest Dissertations Publishing, 1996)

“Boys and girls relied on similar coping strategies, however there were significant gender differences in the frequency of use of certain coping strategies. The largest difference was that boys were more likely than girls to cope with stories involving physically aggressive behaviors. Girls were more likely to verbalize cooperative, prosocial strategies. In addition, the use of certain coping strategies were differentially related to behavior for boys and girls. Specifically, boys denial of negative affect was related to poor home environment and to cognitive impairment. In addition, boys who were aggressive tended to react to simulated interpersonal conflict by verbalizing cooperative, tension reducing statements. Boys’ who verbalized physically aggressive stories in response to conflict were less likely to actually display aggressive behavior.”

“Senate Democrats submitted a record number of written questions to President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, in a move Republicans said was the latest attempt to delay confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

The 1,278 questions are four times more than the number asked of Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, Mr. Trump’s first high court pick, last year. Indeed, it’s more than the combined total for every justice in U.S. history, said Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley.

This woman deserves no hearing, no nothing! These are baseless allegation.

How can any man look forward to an honorable and rewarding life if it all can be destroyed by one dishonest female?

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

At a minimum Feinstein should be censured and removed from Judiciary Committee. It would be better if she were forced to resign from the Senate all together.

So, where are her HS friends stating that she verbally discussed this assault with them. Seriously tho- where are her friends who remembered this ‘life threatening’ assault?

They’re all properly outraged, but they’re still going to play the Democrats’ games. Disgusting.

REDACTED’s name is already out, and he is the process of being destroyed on left wing sites. Liberals are giving him the kind of treatment the people here are giving Ford. She’s getting called a whore here, he is being called a rapist. She deleted her social media accounts, he has now deleted his social media accounts.

The home owners should be called into to testify and explain their hosting a booze fest for minors.

Judge Kavanaugh categorically DENIES it ever happened, not in high school or at any other time! I believe him.

Exactly!

Where are these other four party “attendees”, as well?

His name is not out there because of anything she has said or done (yet), though. Once she publicly verifies that he is, in fact, the REDACTED party in her letter, she’s screwed.

"If Kavanaugh is not confirmed, the democrats will use the empty seat to get their base voting like never before... and they will take the house and senate"

I think you have nailed it. I am not sure if the Senate will go over, but there will be a huge Democrat vote surge while the Republican turnout will be discouraged and depressed.

Backs up what rush said in his opening. The dems don’t want hearings. They want to delay. They know these accusations are BS. They just need to delay long enough for their fantasy of winning the senate back.

She put his name in the letter, it was redacted by the media when they printed it, so she absolutely put it out.

I'm not a lawyer, but if she sent the letter in confidence and she didn't publish the name then I'm not sure what liability she would have.

If she gets on national television -- in a Senate hearing where she is a witness at her own discretion -- and verifies the guy's name, then I'd say that changes things completely.

Problem, the accuserconvenienrly doesn’t remember anything about the house except it was near a golf course and in Montgomery county. Also doesn’t remember who took her there or how she got there.

Yes, if we can sink people with 35 year old charges then they should be arrested for threatening the welfare of a child.
