A report this morning in Axios calls the Kavanaugh- Ford situation "ugly."
Yes it is ugly.Republicans are privately worried about the risk unleashed by an explosive allegation of a teenage sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, but still hope to push ahead to a final confirmation vote next week.
What they're saying: "This is the ugliest situation imaginable," said a source close to Senate Republican leaders.
And the person to blame is Dianne Feinstein.
A third person alleged by Christine Ford to have been present at the "party"- now also denies any knowledge of it:
A third high school student Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford claimed attended a party more than 35 years ago where the future Judge Kavanaugh attacked her denied any memory of the alleged incident in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, CNN reported Tuesday.Thus all three of those allegedly present have denied her story.CNN obtained a letter from Patrick J. Smyth, a Georgetown Prep alum who graduated in Kavanaugh’s class, to Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and ranking Democrat Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). The letter was penned after Ford apparently identified Smyth as “PJ” – another teenager who was one of around five people at a drunken gathering in a Montgomery County, Maryland, home in or around 1982.
“I understand that I have been identified by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as the person she remembers as ‘PJ’ who supposedly was present at the party she described in her statements to the Washington Post,” the letter, penned by Smyth’s attorney, Eric Bruce, reads. “I am issuing this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh.”
Ford was invited multiple times by Sen. Chuck Grassley to testify next Monday either in public or in private. At first Ford's lawyer said Ford was willing to testify. Then Schumer hatched a plan to delay that would delay the testimony- for about two years. He said that the FBI should conduct an investigation into Kavanaugh- as they have done 6 times already- knowing that the FBI already stated that it was done and would not being doing another.
Then a second Ford attorney repeated that as a demand from Ford as well. She will testify only after an FBI investigation of Kavanaugh that will never happen. For some reason, Ford now thinks she controls the Senate committee.
Let us be clear. Ford will never testify. Never. From minute one, this has been nothing other than a stalling tactic. It is meant to throw a cloud of stink on Kavanaugh- one that cannot be proven, but the left is more than willing to destroy a man who has an unblemished career by any measure.

The eleventh hour Hail Mary attempt by Sen. Feinstein and Christine Ford to derail the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh has turned into a hit and run.
Yes, that seems to be the case. Only once have I heard mentioned, 2nd hand on Fox, “that woman”. Trump has been quite polite and careful. Ford is collapsing and likely never expected more needed than writing a letter or speaking up. Now she is faced with putting up or shutting up.
Trump should start his own party. I would contribute and join.
Check out Grassley’s pusillanimous series of fawning tweets about respecting this ho who us slimeing a decent man and disgracing his family.
The reason that POS Sessions and Rosenswine are still there is due, in part, Grassley.
As I recall, he protected Clinton I’m his impeachment hearing. And I believe he refused to check Juanita Broderick’s accusations.
And there is ZERO outrage by both parties about a Chicom spy in that senate fosill’s office for twenty years.
I would like to see the Senate compel her to testify under oath, tomorrow. Send the Federal Marshall to pick her up and bring her in. In any case. she will be testifying I’m sure, when Judge Kavanaugh sues her for libel and slander, which I hope he does.
fbi needs to investigate difi and ford for obstruction
18 U.S. Code § 1505 - Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees
Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States, or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress—
Shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.
Feinstein is a sleazebag, but Blowsy Fraud brought this on herself.
Democrats claim to be the protector of women but, obviously only some women. What about the two minor daughters and wife of Judge Kavanaugh. In their obsession to hand President Trump a defeat, they are willing to destroy the innocent lives of these two girls and their mother, all based on the unsupported, recovered memory of an event from 35 years ago. In the process, no one should question the word, motive, or sensitivity of the accuser. The depraved conduct of the democrats in this matter is only matched by the craven cowerdence of the Republicans.
I don't need to.
What counts is how the GOP Senators vote.
The Demwits are getting rid of Di-Fi, a two birds one stone kind of op.
Diane Feinstein held onto this letter until the original hearings were finished to give it to the news afterward to delay the confirmation vote. She is that sleezy. She could have brought up the issue during the original hearings, but by now the issue would have been resolved and she would have nothing to delay the confirmation vote. Democrats are slobs!
Democrats backtracking from one of their false accusation is like a ‘chinese fire drill’. They set themselves on fire.
The sane american people are looking about for lampposts for the perps and their lying media mouthpieces
