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.”

Grassley is one of my senators, and he is extremely squidgy. The other one, Ernst, is a real zero. I have emailed both of them many times and get the same lame responses. “Thanks for the input, but are you giving me big bucks the way the ethanol lobby is?”

What a load of B.S. crap. As an aside, wrong punctuation in a couple of places.

The accuser mentioned two names who should know where the party was held.

Make them vote. If they want to malign a judge and betray their party let them do it. Then nominate the woman the leftist hate for being a RC.

Btw, a thread was pulled because it said this isn’t true. IT IS TRUE.

Judge Martha Kavanaugh did oversee the foreclosure of her parents home.

http://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/casesearch/inquiryByCaseNum.jis

Go to the bottom and enter (case number) 156006V. County Montgomery (for circuit ct)

Or you can find the screen shot here. Just scroll down.

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.

She obviously was seriously wasted herself. No witnesses? This is the end of ME TOO

"1. Delay the vote on Kavanaugh by any means in the hopes that ..."

Delay will not be extended until Jan. 2019. If any delay it will be a week.

2. The D's gain more congressional power this November, especially the Senate. If that occurs ...

Using a tactic like this will piss-off a lot of Trump's voters around the country that would not normally vote Republican for their Rep/Senator.

The rest is not worth to rebut.

Give her a darn hearing, don't accept her premise, keep her on the defensive, and make a fool out of her in front of the American people (If hearing is public which the dems won't want). We are dealing with a lot highly trained lawyers on the Judicial committee. The Republican side will eat her up. Also, implore the FBI to get involved, right now they won't touch this thing because of due process, he-said/she-said, a witness who said this is BS, statutes of limitations, and how do you prove a negative.

Without a police report, and WITH the FBI already reviewing and dismissing, just move on. Republicans should get some spine and put a stop to the games and NOT circle the wagon for their chummy little senate club.

And why haven't we heard from committee members like Lee, Cruz, Kennedy, etc.? Silence.

The dems will try to stall in bringing her in to testify. Grassley should send letters to Ford, Kavanugh and Judge and state that they are willing to hear the evidence Wednesday before the vote. Whoever shows up can testify. Whoever doesn’t holds her peace forever. If she does not show or the Dems make excuses, then it will be shown for the political sham it is and give cover for the republicans on the committee to vote Thursday based on Kavanaugh denying Ford’s claim Wednesday. She can take her metoo and shove it.

Dianne is under a substantial challenge from the left this November in the Senate election.

From the far, far left (DeLeon the illegal).

She cannot cave and be reelected. It’s a political impossibility.

Exactly. I wouldn’t want to have to grow up today. That stigma would follow you around. Pisses me off to contemplate.

Probably a hanging offense these days, or castration.

And since the others, Kennedy, Lee, Coryn, Cruz, etc., have been absolutely quiet, I’m guessing they don’t want to be put on the spot. Wimps.

I thought Kav’s mom was only the judge in their (‘97) DISMISSAL, not original pleading (96).

She testifies Thursday, Kavanaugh on Friday, and the Committee votes on Saturday. Full Senate has all of next week to vote on confirmation.

Though very bad result for us, if the current Republicans cannot succeed with Kavanaugh, maybe this current crop of “Republicans” deserve to be booted from Congress.

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.

Telling someone a lie "in confidence" doesn't change anything. It still constitutes "publication" of the defamatory statement, and she would be liable legally for any republication beyond that point.
