Congresswoman Anna Eshoo first to hear Blasey Ford’s story: ‘I told her I believed her’
The Mercury News ^ | September 18, 2018 | Casey Tolan

Posted on 09/24/2018 1:44:27 AM PDT by EVO X

Eshoo’s involvement began when Blasey Ford, a constituent in her Peninsula district and a professor of psychology at Palo Alto University, called her congresswoman’s office requesting a meeting. A staffer talked to her in advance, but Eshoo said she didn’t realize the magnitude or significance of Blasey Ford’s allegations until the two met in person for more than an hour and half on July 20.

eschoo is an embarrassment to civil society. What a pinheaded nitwit. I bet she is both corrupt and stupid...a dangerous combination., Who are the fools who elect such subhuman garbage to positions of authority and responsibility? Do all LIB despise civil society, honesty and normality? Yes.

This is why liberal women will destroy the Republic and are unfit to lead and govern. Their vagina, feelings and ideology make all of their decisions. The Constitution is counter to FemiNazism. Abortion is the core “value” of leftist women and as we can see, women will fight at all costs to destroy Kavanaugh and Conservatism. This cannot stand or the country is doomed.

Of course Eshoo believed Blowsey.

She’s a rabid left=wing front hole, just like Nazi Pelousy.

Anything for their commie “cause.”

Even if Ford’s story were true & I doubt that it is,it is really irrelevant after this time. What’s hard to understand about that? Kavanaugh wasn’t running for Supreme Court when he was 17(or thereabouts).

[The letter sat in her office for ten days before it went to Feinstein? That tells me that Eshoo discused this with other people....likely Schumer....to discuss how they want to proceed.]

“Hey Chuck, how can we use this?”

What are the Democrats feeling about Kavanaugh’s nomination and President Trump in general? FEAR

Which seems to be F.E.A.R. - False Evidence Appearing Real which is a symptom of extreme anxiety.

Ditto. The dems have certainly crossed the line this time. They are accusing BK of being a violent binge drinking sexual predator. It sure sounds like deformation of character to me if they don’t have any evidence to back up the allegations. Nobody in the realm of the 2 accusers have come to their defense.

In the original UN-reacted letter Feinstein finally gave to Grassley, the size of the font of first line of the second paragraph (”Brett Kavanaugh physically and sexually assaulted me during High School in the early 1980’s”) is strangely larger than the rest

Could this have been added later? Was there another name there replaced with Kavanuagh are was then whole first line added. This is not above the realm of possibility what Dems would do.

That’s convenient.

Since they drafted it, they probably can provide everybody with a copy of it, so we’ll finally know what we are dealing with.

In a world run by women, you get accused in the court of public opinion, then you are coerced into testifying in defense FIRST, before you are allowed to even see the allegation or the evidence.

I was told a world run by women would be a world infinitely more peaceful and fair than the one run by men. That was the 70’s though, so . . .

I saw the letter. I certainly thin you thought is a possibility.

I think the "change" was only for emphasis. It was a stupid letter.

What I'm interested in right now is the correspondence between Eshoo and Ford from the initial phone call and whether the original phone call and sit down was recorded...these are government offices.

How was the therapist "induced" to give up confidentiality?? We should be able to get the WHOLE file...since the file exerpts opened up the possibility.

There should be lotsa info that has been held back.

There should be communications between Feinstein and Eshoo also. AND probably between Schumer and others....perhaps even a Hillary connection.

I believe this will NOT end well for Ms. Ford.

The fact that Gillibrand called for the withdrawal of the nomination says a a lot..... We don't want a vote....We want him thrown in a dumpster.

What is the point of having Ford draft a letter to send to Feinstein after making the accusations to the congresswoman? It seems to me the next step would have been to ask Ford if it was OK to have Feinstein's office contact her or vice versa.

And yet the Congresswoman just admitted HER OFFICE drafted the letter.

Now we all want to see it.

Ergo, there was not letter from Ford. Feinstein is lying again.

The article said the Eshoo requested Ford draft the letter. I haven't seen any details on when or how the letter was received by Eshoo's office.

Democrat Congresswoman Anna Eshoo was the first to hear Blasey Ford’s story: ‘I told her I believed her,’Eshoo said.

Oh no, not another gullible Democrat?

The Democrats’ Creed ---what they really believe (hat tip Michael Kelly)

Democrats believe President Bill Clinton. And have always believed him. Democrats believed it when Clinton said he had never been drafted in the Vietnam War and believed him later when Clinton said he had merely “forgotten to mention” that he had been drafted in the Vietnam War.

Democrats believed him when Clinton he said he hadn’t had sex with Gennifer Flowers and believed him later, when Clinton reportedly said he did bed her down.

Democrats believed the president did not rent out the Lincoln Bedroom to celebrities, did not sell access to himself and the vice president to hundreds of well-heeled special pleaders and did not supervise the largest, most systematic money-laundering operation in campaign finance history, collecting more than $ 3 million in illegal and improper donations.

Democrats believe that Charlie Trie and James Riady were motivated by nothing but patriotism for their adopted country.

Democrats believed President Clinton when he conceded that his administration mistakenly obtained the FBI files of more than 300 people, including many top Republicans and believes it was the result of a “completely honest bureaucratic snafu” involving security clearances.

Democrats believed Clinton’s chief of staff, Leon Panetta, when he told reporters that “obviously a mistake was made” and apologized to the people whose FBI files wound up at the White House. Democrats believed Clinton when he said “I completely support” what my COS Panetta said about the affair.

Democrats believed Vice President Gore when he said that he had made dunning calls to political contributors “on a few occasions” from his White House office, and believed him when he said that, actually, “a few” meant 46.

Democrats devoutly believe in "no controlling legal authority"....but not for Nixon or Trump.

Democrats believed Bruce Babbitt when he said that the $286,000 contributed to the DNC by Indian tribes opposed to granting a casino license to rival tribes had nothing to do with his denial of the license. Democrats believed the secretary when he said that he had not been instructed in this matter by then-White House deputy chief of staff Harold Ickes.

Democrats believed him when he said later that he had told lobbyist and friend Paul Eckstein that Ickes had told him to move on the casino decision, but that he had been lying to Eckstein. Democrats agreed with the secretary that it is an outrage that anyone would question his integrity.

Democrats firmly believe in the “Clinton Standard” of adherence to the nation’s campaign finance and bribery laws, enunciated by the president on March 7, 1997: “I don’t believe you can find any evidence of the fact that I had changed government policy solely because of a contribution.” Democrats noted with approval the use of the word “evidence” and also the use of the word “solely.” Democrats devoutly believe, as Clinton does, that it is proper to change government policy to address the concerns of people who have"given the president money, as long as nobody can find "evidence" of this being the "sole" reason.

Democrats believe president Clinton lived up to his promise to preside over the most ethical administration in American history that indicted former agriculture secretary Mike Espy did not accept $35,000 in illegal favors from Tyson Foods and other regulated businesses.

Democrats believe that indicted former housing secretary Henry Cisneros did not lie to the FBI and tell others to lie to cover up $250,000 in blackmail payments to his former mistress.

Democrats believe that convicted former associate attorney general Webster Hubbell was not involved in the obstruction of justice when the president’s minions arranged for Hubbell to receive $ 400,000 in sweetheart consulting deals at a time when he was reneging on his promise to cooperate with Kenneth Starr’s Whitewater investigation.

Democrats believe, as Harvey Weinstein does, that Paula Jones is a cheap tramp who was asking for it, that Kathleen Willey is a cheap tramp who was asking for it, and that Monica Lewinsky is a cheap tramp who was asking for it.

Democrats firmly believe Monica Lewinsky was “just fantasizing” in her 20 hours of taped conversation in which she reportedly detailed her sexual relationship with the president and begged Linda Tripp to join her in lying about the relationship and that any gifts, correspondence, telephone calls and the 37 post-employment White House visits that may have passed between Lewinsky and the president are evidence only of a platonic relationship. Journos believe that such innocent intimate friendships are quite common between middle-aged married men and young single women, and also between presidents of the United States and White House interns.

Democrats see nothing suspicious in the report that the president’s intimate pal, Vernon Jordan, arranged a $40,000-per-year job for Lewinsky shortly after she signed but before she filed an affidavit saying she had not had sex with the president.

Nor did Democrats read anything significant into the fact that the ambassador to the United Nations, Bill Richardson, visited Lewinsky at the Watergate to offer her a job.

Democrat believe the instructions Lewinsky gave Linda Tripp informing her on how to properly perjure herself in the Willey matter simply wrote themselves.

Democrats believe, as does Hillary, that The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, U.S. News & World Report, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS and NPR are all part of a vast right-wing conspiracy to malign the saintly Clintons.
