“Thursday is still 40 days until the election.”
True, but don’t forget after it’s released from committee, it has to go to the full Senate for debate and a vote. I have no idea how long that process will take.
I doubt this is all Grassley’s doing. There is Flake and 2-3 other wishy washy republicans that are pressuring him behind the scenes. Yea she basically didn’t agree to anything. And YES they will continue to negotiate up to and during the hearing.
Once she had 3-3 powerful lawyers, the Anita Hill/Clinton Fixer on board, no way was that group not going to allow her to decline. Too much fame and fortune and money for them.
By Wednesday or Thursday, that team will have her coached magnificently. Her memories will have returned, and she will remember more details. They will run her through mock hearing preparations. She will be well prepared.
