Chairman Grassley issued the following statement:
“Despite the fact that the July 30th letter remains hidden, my committee has been investigating the allegations and has heard from multiple witnesses since Sunday. Ms. Katz has discussed Dr. Ford’s allegations in numerous media interviews and said on TV Monday morning that Dr. Ford wants to share her account with the Senate Judiciary Committee. It’s Friday night and nothing’s been agreed to despite our extensive efforts to make testimony possible,” Grassley said. “I’m extending the deadline for response yet again to 10 o’clock this evening. I’m providing a notice of a vote to occur Monday in the event that Dr. Ford’s attorneys don’t respond or Dr. Ford decides not to testify. In the event that we can come to a reasonable resolution as I’ve been seeking all week, then I will postpone the committee vote to accommodate her testimony. We cannot continue to delay.”
Is it just me, or does someone else think that “the plan” DOES want the delay. This all strikes me as drama queen theatrics. I think if Grassley/Trump really wanted to take the vote this week they would have. I think they have enough votes to win. You know that the left is going to raise a stink about this regardless of whether she testifies and regardless of what she says. So why all the delay? (I think there is a reason, but I have no idea what it is. I just think it has to do with timing and theatrics.)
The left is still complaining about Justice Thomas. So if you think that anything that does or doesn’t happen with the K hearings/investigation is going to make a difference, guess again!
