If Kavanaugh’s accuser won’t testify Monday, just vote
NY Post ^ | September 19, 2018 | Post Editorial Board

Posted on 09/19/2018 8:20:02 PM PDT by lasereye

It turns out that Christine Blasey Ford actually isn’t “willing to do whatever it takes to get her story forth,” after all. Her preconditions for testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee include a demand for “a full investigation by law-enforcement officials” — specifically, the FBI. That’s completely outrageous. The committee should proceed as scheduled with next Monday’s hearing. If she shows, or makes arrangements to testify behind closed doors or to committee staffers, fine. If not, it’s time to vote.

Would an FBI investigation change her testimony? For that matter, would Democrats even accept a probe that — as with Anita Hill’s accusations against Clarence Thomas — couldn’t confirm her allegation?

Grassley gave Ford and her attorney until 10am Friday to notify them if she will testify on Mon. If that 10am deadline passes and she doesn’t respond then they need to go ahead and vote on Friday before the weekend.

Pathetic RAT Coward BLAH-zee is only disposed to Bearing False Witness as long as its from what she perceives is a safe distance.

too many Kavanaugh articles - not surprising given that’s all the FakeNewsMSM wants to focus on.

meanwhile, where’s the NYT, WaPo, networks, cable stories on the following? almost none of the FakeNewsMSM has even reported on the Dems letter to to ODNI...

Video: Fox News: Rep. Devin Nunes on Trump declassifying FISA documents
Sep. 19, 2018 - 3:46 - Rep. Devin Nunes says on ‘Hannity’ that he doesn’t understand why key FISA documents have not been declassified yet.

To request the FBI investigate what MIGHT have happened at a teenage party 36 years ago where no actual crime was apparently committed and no one knows what might have happened even if something did happen leads to only one conclusion.

These people are truly crazy. I mean really, completely, “agenda”-driven nutcases.

If we take them seriously, it truly imperils our entire society.

Prediction: This whole thing is a set-up. She’ll “reluctantly” testify, and cry for all of us.

That's what this play is all about: time.
Just keep delaying until midterms and once the blue wave materializes, deny Trump another SCOTUS seat.

It's almost sad that they can be naive enough to think he'll fall for that. Their shock will come when Kavanaugh gets confirmed and Balsey gets slapped with a devastating libel suit.

I don’t understand the liberals insisting there has to be an FBI investigation as a precondition of her testifying.

Assuming someone is telling the truth, they would tell the truth, regardless of what is happening with an investigation.

It’s all kicks and grins till you have to testify under oath. Then it’s no longer a one way street.

Gee, who knew the FBI investigates cases in which a teenage boy touches a girl?

What is there to investigate. She tells a vague story, and he denied being there. Sounds like a 15 minute investigation which would be inconclusive.

Democrats are out for blood. They're hounding the FBI to find video of Kavanaugh in a compromising position.
Maybe they'll photoshop an image of Kavanaugh with a Playboy magazine?

The point of all of this was NOT to “prove” he actually did anything.

It was pure poisoning of the well.

Plant a seed of doubt in the collective consciousness.

Taint him for all time, even if he’s confirmed.

That was all this was.

A head game designed to forever besmirch the man’s honor, reputation, and future, on the SCOTUS or not.

Pure Alinsky evil.

A pox upon her.

Grassley wanted to vote on Thursday this week as scheduled (after telephone interviews with Judge Kavanaugh and then the skank on Tuesday). Unfortunately, the slimy Jeff Flake(who is on the Judicial committee, said he wouldn’t vote to confirm unless they invited the woman to testify.
