Is there a REAL timeline? I think some of this needs to shift from Ford to DiFi. DiFi is now a fact witness to the shenanigans.

When did DiFi get the letter? How was it delivered? Was it truly anonymous, or was the name on it, but the sender asked it not to be revealed?

When did DiFi meet with Kavanaugh in her office, in private?

When was the polygraph done, by whom, where, and what were the questions?

When was the letter sent to the FBI? Did that transfer include, or not include, the name?

When was the letter leaked to WaPo versus when WaPo reported it?

When did DiFi or her staff talk with WaPo?

When did the leak happen - before or after the FBI received it?

With Ms. Ford's reportedly close relationship with the CIA as campus/faculty sponsor for CIA interns, did she talk with the CIA about this? If so, when?

Since her family has long-term relationships with the CIA through her father and possibly herself, was there any formal or informal contact with the CIA, if so, when?

What date did the revelation happen in 2012 regarding her therapy session?

When did Mitt Romney announce that, if elected, he would nominate Kavanaugh for the SCOTUS?

Was there any timeline alignment regarding Romney's initiative to nominate Kavanaugh and Ms. Ford's revelation to her mental health counselor?

Was there any activity or timeline alignment regarding Ms. Ford's memory of an incident in the 1980's and the nomination and hearing process for Gorsuch?

When did DiFi contact Grassley?

When were the meetings with DiFi's staff that led her to make the conscious effort to hold off revealing the letter three times (private meeting, public hearings, private hearings)?

At any time between receiving the letter (either anonymously or with the name but privately) and the time she sent the letter to the FBI, did DiFi have a bad head cold that negatively affected her mentation? (It's happened before folks!)

“The Ugandan Giant”

Is this just a misspelling of Orangutan? Either way it fits her.

The Leftwing media has no shred of class, decency or integrity. Let's give them a well deserved lesson this November.

“You need to understand that he wouldn’t get confirmed if the vote is held tomorrow”

Oh well...that means they weren’t going to vote for him no matter what. May they face the consequences.

Grassley is a pu$$y. A rino pu$$y. Like all the other repubikans in the senate who voted for hillary.

Chuck Grassley does not screw around when it comes to running his committee, just as when he's piloting his three-mower lawn machine:

“Politically, I believe he may be playing this perfectly.”

Same here. This Ford Farce is about OVER.

“By Monday the committee will vote and we will have a huge win.”

By Monday we’ll have 3 other women coming forward—One guy who said Kavanaugh stole his lunch money in the 3rd grade and another guy who claims Kavanaugh called him the ‘N’ word in junior high. These people will all need to be heard by the senate, too.

Grassley, you pu$$Y—HOLD THE FARKING VOTE TOMORROW!!

No way should he allow closed hearings.

But having a closed hearing is a win-win for our side. It forces her to appear, there is no excuse left for her not to show. And second, it cuts the Dems off at the knees in making this hearing a national spectacle (which you know they will do if its public with all the media involved).

If she doesn't show it looks bad for the Dems ... if she does then she has to answer a lot of very difficult questions and the likelihood that she will be exposed as a total liar is high. You know the more astute Pubs will be armed with her FB quotes, her relationship to the Soros lawyer, etc. She will be shown to be a political hack whose motivations are political.

For once, the Pubs have backed the Dems into a corner ... they are in a lose-lose situation here. They lose if she bails, they lose if she comes.

Perhaps I'm missing something ... but I see this as a win-win for us.

My big thing is my confidence in the depravity of the Dems to produce another accuser this weekend as a last ditch effort. Then they can claim "one woman does not make a pattern of behavior ... but two makes it more likely these accounts are true." And I'm guessing James Carville is as we speak flashing $100s in every trailer park looking for that second witness.

Letter states Monday, September 25, 2018...wrong date, Monday is September 24.

Is that the real letter?

LMAO. I nearly piss on my office chair every time I see someone post “the Ugandan Giant” on a thread here on FR.

You are probably right but you are giving them 5 more days to cause all kinds of new Problems. I hate the fact they delayed until despite her response but it is Probably the only way to get Flake forced into doing the right thing.

DiFi is now a fact witness to the shenanigans.

I agree with that. I've been saying it for days.

Feinstein's failure to even mention this allegation during her questioning of Kavanaugh actually makes her his strongest character witness.

Grassley knows that Ford wont show up and he's giving Kavanaugh a chance to say what he wants and clear his name.

He11, Kavanaugh could say that he thinks that at that party he remembers seeing a guy that looked like a middle aged Chuck Schumer forceably sodomizing the Hispanic yardman who worked for the owners of the house, and in this environment, no one could refute him.

I've said all along, Grassley has made a career out of being underestimated.

Even if it’s closed-door, Feinstein or one of the other Senators will leak the transcript like she did with the full transcript of Glenn Simpson’s closed-door testimony. There is no protection for Republicans whether it’s closed or not.

The transcript will eventually become a matter of public record anyway — maybe even within 24 hours.
