Other than the private committee hearing offer....Grassley has offered nothing much else. It’s Monday or nothing. Kavanaugh will not be denied a seat in the room. The FBI request chatter is finished...it won’t go any further.
I don’t think she will show up at 9:30 AM on Monday, and I suspect that they will do rollcall, someone will recommend closure and vote the committee done. Republicans will have a majority, and it’ll close out by 9:45 AM.
I also suspect that Ford is in fragile condition and probably not ready for some ‘show’ like this. Basically, they will ask her if she shows up....how much alcohol she consumed in this period of her life, and if she blacked-out any....then turn to the hundred-plus boys that she partied with and knew in a personal way. So it’ll turn into a ‘I admit I’m a drunken-sl*t’ session. It’ll be like a Jerry Springer show and pure entertainment.
I read that one of her conditions was that they would not allow other witnesses to come in and refute her allegations, And that they would not be able to bring up past aspects of her personal life, such as alcohol use. Unbelievable.
I think the GOP would be more interested in questioning her about the details surrounding her letter and her dealings with Feinstein, her own rabid partisanship, and the freaks who are behind this effort to derail Kavanaugh's confirmation.
