Last night, the legal team representing Christine Ford, she’s the California woman who claim Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh groped her at some place at some time in the past, sent yet another letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee whinging about most everything. Colleague Miranda Morales covered it in this post but, parsing it, it seems more like someone laying the groundwork for a refusal to show up rather than anything else.
Check out the points.
1) This Bromwich character snivels about Senator Mitch McConnell’s righteous floor speech yesterday. One would hope that Bromwich is bright enough to realize that Chuck Grassley doesn’t tell McConnell, or any other senator, what they may or may not say. So it seems he is setting the predicate to claim that Grassley reneged on his guarantee to allow Ford to spin her yarn without laughing (let me say it again, there is zero evidence that anything this woman has claimed, beyond her name, is the truth).
2) He is objecting to how Grassley wishes to conduct the investigation. This is not something that is any of his concern.
3) One would think Bromwich would be chomping at the bit to have an experienced sex crimes investigator ask the questions. Who, after all, would know more about how to not further traumatize an actual victim and how to elicit maximum facts from them. The fact that Bromwich craps himself over this issue is a clue as to his fears.
4) The clear objective here is to generate video of old, white male Republican senators asking Ford some very tough questions about which she will have no answers but the sad trombone (can we say “womp, womp”?) will play as he gets pouty faced and tears up.
5) There is zero reason that the Senate Judiciary Committee would have to provide Bromwich with any information on whom the Committee has selected to do the examination. Their qualifications have nothing to do with anything. The Committee could have anyone it pleased ask the questions. But we know why they want the name. They want to sent a rent-a-mob to the person’s home and they want to try to preemptively discredit them by the cases they’ve prosecuted.
All of this seems like that Ford is looking for a reason not to show up on Thursday morning. And with good reason. Thus far, of the five people Ford alleges were in the house when she was groped, four of them deny being at any such event and Ford’s lifelong friend says she’s never met Brett Kavanaugh. If she presses ahead with this bullsh** it is hard to see how she doesn’t make herself vulnerable to charges of lying to Congress.
Politicians know about the technicque of Inoculation. Determine your main weakness(es), and roll out your story with details that cuts off at the pass future attacks on those weaknesses.
That is why this was a "repressed" memory all these years. Ford was dug up just like the new one from Sunday night was, by 'Rat opposition research. That is why Ford doesn't have the 6-days-with-Rat-lawyers problem. But, it was probably a very similar process - 6 or more days with 'Rat lawyers and operatives.
I don’t really know much about either.
I suggest that she be examined.
i mean like uh whad ever happened ta one free grope?/s
Ford won’t testify. She is too much of a liability. Kavanaugh is more believable and the facts support him. The Dems pull the plug and Ford goes on The View, 60 minutes, CNN, etc. before the midterms and declares she was prevented from speaking by the old white men in the Senate.
I thought I was so insightful on Sunday when I said to my wife, “I don’t think she’ll testify.”
Now I feel like master of the obvious.
Bromwich is a shyster, like all the rest of Freak Ford’s “legal team”!!!!
And whatever these miscreants do, it’s all about abortion (baby killing)—nothing else!!!!
Whatever happens on Thursday, vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, and seat him on the Supreme Court when it opens next Monday!!!!
OH NO. This witch started this circus, and she is going to show up. We need to show the Demonrats to the country for what they are: INTENTIONAL LIARS! Subpoena her, if necessary. Send the Federal Marshals, if necessary.
Yes, yes it does! From ten miles away!
Great post.
Back in the house where she grew up ? The one where she had a 'party' while her folks were out of town ? Is that why she couldn't remember how she got there, or who she left with ? Because she was there and never left ?
IF...IF.. she is driving, my guess is that Thursday morning she will call in saying either there is a lot of traffic and she can’t make it until next Monday, or she will explain that she had a blow out on IH 40 and the tow truck can’t make it until next Monday.
Quite.
Manchurian Candidates aren’t always standing for office. They are citizens gaslighted by the left - like Ford they participate in silly social media campaigns, marches and wear juvenile, silly costumes. They believe that virtue signaling equals actual virtue.
She’s had so many people whispering in her ear for so long that she believes whatever they tell her. If they told her Kavanaugh stole her Schwinn bicycle she would claim it to be fact.
Strong woman? Hardly. The epitome of weakness - of character, of mind, of body, of spirit.
Has anyone seen Miss Sunglasses anywhere since this all happened? Does she always wear sunglasses? Why are there no pictures of her except the one in sunglasses?
Does she still teach and see patients as a counselor? Has she been in hiding? Has she given up normal life to hide until her attorneys get the terms of testimony set up?
Has she been paid or compensated or promised anything in return for her testimony?
So many questions just aren’t being asked by Chris Cuomo and Rachel Maddow and Don Lemon and everyone in the media, about this sordid episode.
Grassley has requested this evidence be handed over TODAY,
let’s see if it is.
Prognostication of the day !
She’s been shown respect and been given her chance to speak... she chooses not to take it, that’s on her.
R’s need to grow a backbone here...
In order to show up fresh and ready Thursday, she would need to be east of the river this morning, headed out through IL IN and OH today.
This is like tracking Santa”S sleigh on Christmas Eve.
