Is Christine Ford Looking For An Exit Before Thursday?

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.

Perhaps she’s just really tired of all the driving, fast food, and cheap motels as she drives across the country?

*****TRAVEL UPDATE*****

An anonymous source (cough) reports that Dr. Ford has headed out on her trip to DC. With "a long way to go and a short time to get there" her driver has elected to take a shortcut to assure she gets there in time to help finish off the Constitution.

To pass the time on her long journey, Dr. Ford has been singing this little ditty:

East Bound and Down (with apologies to Jerry Reed)

East bound and down, lawyered up and bluffin’
We’ll make ‘em do what we say must be done.
We’ve got a tall tale to tell and a short time to spin it,
I’m Swamp bound to make old white men run.

DiFi needs persistence, it’s all for The Resistance,
Kavanaugh must go down, Alinsky told us how.
Help from Fake News in Atlanta, Cooper, Lemon, and there's Dana,
We’ll save this seat no matter what it takes.

East bound and down, scared as hell of flying,
Go find some girls whose story sounds the same.
Agendas at stake, so no trick is too dirty,
I’m Swamp bound and lookin’ for some fame.

RE:”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.”

Over at DU I been seeing (reading) those libs saying that is exactly what they want her to do.

The only drawback of this is that then Kavanaugh can say that he was willing to go under oath and she wasn't .

Clarification : Drawback of this for them not us

Back in the house where she grew up

Very interesting speculation. Kudos...

In basketball Mr Bromwitch this would be called a Full Court Stall!

The operative word here should be “SWINDLE”. The democrat party, the deep state and the MSM are trying to swindle the American people out of a President and his rightful power to appoint, benefits of power won fair and square in an election.

The RAT party - the party of swindlers and cheats

.. Christine Ford ia a hologram. Great analogy! So true.

That’s a big 10-4.

RE:”Subpoena her, if necessary. Send the Federal Marshals, if necessary.”

Not happening, GOP scared of attacking ‘the victim’

“All accusers MUST be heard”

Except Keith Ellison's victim

However her lawyer has been demanding that everyone BUT her be Subpoenaed

[samadams2000]

I had a dream the Rachel Corrie was trying to reason with Chrissy. She won’t testify.

[rktman]

Hmmm?📡🛰. Somebody needs to get Cheyenne Mountain on the line STAT! Hello NORAD!

[Bonemaker]

"Maybe she was just like Rosenstein — “I was just kidding.”

[Know et al]

She’s been shown respect and been given her chance to speak... she chooses not to take it, that’s on her

This will either be a deterrent or an encouragement to future accusers. I hope Grassley considers this.

I’m surprised Bromwich didnt demand Ford be allowed to have Meryl Streep by her side when testifying.

Streep’s presence could ensure Ford’s “Victim Act” could play out like they rehearsed it.

[patriotspride]

Hold the hearing... if she no shows... so be it.

End this nonsense.

Anyone with a few working neurons and that isn’t a complete partisan hack sees right through this...

Agree.

The Dems will then play the she was intimidated adding to her trauma and this is why you need to vote Dem to protect you from those that will not give you Justice.

Falls right in line with all the other “ Justice” related memes du jour.....

“Whinging” or “Whining”? Big dif.

Stop pretending Christine Ford exists. There may be someone alive by that name, but she is not a real person with her own thoughts, ideas or agency.

The Christine Ford that Grassley is dealing with is a composite, a hologram - and a product of high-level Democrat politicians and strategists. THAT’S what you are dealing with.

Interesting way to think about it. That thinking applies to a lot more than Ford, like most politicians, news reporters and all of Hollywood.

I was listening to Schumer read a scripted screed asking "why no FBI investigation of Kavanaugh. What is he hiding, what are the Republicans hiding?". His voice sounded like an animated corpse because it was just a f'n script that he was expected to read.

Blasey-Ford actually worked as “director of biostatistics" for the manufacturer of the abortion drug, RU-486,
Corcept Therapeutics in Menlo Park,” according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Yes, her slutty lifestyle (having had 64 sexual partners before college) would make Ford biased against an individual who might have to adjudicate abortion pill legislation.

Her social media posts approvingly identified Blasey-Ford as a liberal activist with an obvious sensitivity to Supreme Court ideology;
she once posted on a social media site, "Scalia-types must be banned from law!"

Just ducky----an alcoholic slut in therapy, with a vagina on steroids, telling we, the people, who to have on the USSC.

No more concessions, weaklings.

Grassley screwed up bigtime.....played for a sucker by the power-starved Democrats......and it appears he was completely oblivious to it all.

Grassley’s pussy-footing around Ford gave the Democrats traction and time to advance their plots.

Like their humble servant, Grassley laid the power of the Senate at the feet of Democrats.......

They were sitting in the driver’s seat forging ahead as Grassley hummed Kumbaya in the rumble seat
