Trump goes on offensive in Kavanaugh fight, calls on accuser to provide a police report

President Trump on Friday went on the offensive in the battle over Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation after days of laying low, calling on accuser Christine Blasey Ford to provide a police report, slamming Democrats for waiting to share the allegations and telling senators to move ahead with a vote.

In a sharp change of tone after days of reserved statements regarding the allegations, the president unleashed a torrent of tweets, first in defense of Kavanaugh. He then put pressure on Ford to furnish a police report, though there's no indication one was ever filed.

"I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!" he tweeted.

“Recovered memories” don’t have police reports, which our president is fully aware of.

He’s been talking to attorneys. They’ve bench tested this tactic in back rooms. At least, that’s my guess.

I wish Trump had kept his frustration in check. All we’ll get now is Trump the bully is trying dictate “how a traumatized 15 year girl should have behaved”. It gives that POS Flake cover.

Neither to imagined memories.

Exactly. It's also why she refuses to be questioned by an attorney.

Do you need a therapy puppy to cope with Trump’s Alpha Male magnitude?

Trump knows the police would have laughed in 1982 that a girl at a drunken high school party had a guy grope her over her clothes.

Take the vote Monday. Don’t allow the obstructionists any more delays.

You would think that attempted murder (hand over the mouth) would trump (no pun intended) any incompleted sexual assault.

If the Democrats thought that there was something to it they would have brought it up during the hearings when it was appropriate. So for goodness sakes let Trump be Trump... this is an out and out made up bunch of BS to stall the process. Pandering to the media and Democrat narrative is idiotic.

Then the ball-less Republicans in Congress wonder why the people think so highly of the President. When are they going show to some spine?

Her problem is that this was a supposed "repressed memory" brought out in psycho-therapy. In other words, it's hogwash.

No, taking this stupid BS seriously would be the mistake. Trump is using the Alinskyite ridiculing attack. It's time to quit cowering because something might look bad to the Left. Call out their absurd BS.

From what we've learned about this chick, the hand over the mouth would likely have been to muffle her moaning (though I believe the whole event is fiction).

Trump is not frustrated. The only one frustrated is you.

Frankly, I like Trump as he is--a normal human being who is not afraid to speak off the cuff; not some "polished" fake politician pretending to represent our values then votes the other way like Snow-Flake. I want Trump to swing back and swing back hard with a verbal bat (tweet?) like Teddy Roosevelt. If you give Dems and Liberals an inch, they will want a mile. Enough with the BS.

As for Snow-Flake, if he doesn't vote for Kavanaugh when it counts, he may as well join the Democrat party if he desires any political future. We need to Drain the Swamp not only in Washington, but in the RNC, too.

Maybe so ... but I like that Trump says what he thinks. It's not what politicans generally do, that is be truthful and direct about what they think and plan to do. It keeps politicians, particularly those on the Left who don't know how to respond to the truth or to challenges leveled directly at them, a bit off-kilter ... unsure of what they should say and do in response. So they react emotionally instead which makes them look even goofier than what they already are!
