Shes not going to testify because shes lying, she knows it, she got in too deep to back out but she knows that shed be up for everything from perjury to extortion to libel charges if she testifies.
I think that she will testify. Even if she is lying and everyone knows it, she knows that she can still destroy Kavanuagh and become a feminist hero. Her performance, regardless of how well or badly she really does, will be praised to the skies and deemed very credible, even by Republicans.
The testimony is irrelevant. The whole point is the delay. They are trying to delay this nomination past viability.
Has anybody on Free Republic suggested that Diane Feinstein be compelled to testify under oath, since she has made herself an actor in this drama? She has surely violated Senate and committee rules, not to mention a few laws (not counting her Chicom spy driver).
I have been saying for several days that she will not testify under oath, although we will probably hear from her in a venue crafted by her handlers, something like 60 Minutes. Crazy unverifed rumors claim that she is on the East Coast and has been for several days. That makes sense because that is where the handlers are.
I don’t know if she is telling the truth, but I’m certain that she has had prep sessions with her handlers who are all very smart and are combat veterans of character assassinations. They are stalling, in part, because they have learned that Frau Docktor Professor Ford is verrueckt (crazy). You don’t put crazy people on the witness stand under oath.
