Grassley working to set up calls with Kavanaugh, accuser before vote
The Hill ^ | 9/16/2018 | JORDAIN CARNEY

Posted on 09/16/2018 6:48:53 PM PDT by bitt

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, is working to set up separate phone calls with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, before a committee vote scheduled for Thursday.

"Given the late addendum to the background file and revelations of Dr. Ford’s identity, Chairman Grassley is actively working to set up such follow-up calls with Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford ahead of Thursday’s scheduled vote," a spokesman for Grassley said on Sunday.

The aide added that "the Chairman and Ranking Member routinely hold bipartisan staff calls with nominees when updates are made to nominees’ background files."

The announcement comes after Ford spoke publicly about her accusation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in the early 1980s, while they were both in high school, in an interview with The Washington Post published on Sunday.

Ford, in the interview, alleged that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed at a party and forced himself on her. Ford told the Post that Kavanaugh "groped her over her clothes, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it."

Very interesting: Larry Beech ‏ @Larry_Beech Folks...Christine Ford's mom (Paula k blasey) and dad (Ralph G Blasey) we're defendants in a foreclosure case in Maryland in 1996. Guess who the judge was? Martha G Kavanaugh, mother of Brett Kavanaugh. You can't make this $hit up

Senator (sharply): Yes, but I don't have all day! How much do you wish to donate?

Ford (gasping): Yes, all day, that's it, I mean -- it's...it's me, Christine Ford.

Senator (abruptly softening tone): Y-e-e-e-e-s, about the Kavanaugh vote. What is it?

Ford (awkwardly): Well, it's just that -- it's that -- I'm late.

Senator: This may be useful. How late *are* you?

Ford: Thirty-five years.

She went to couples counseling in 2012 and discussed an incident but no name. Does anyone know if she had previous counseling?

There’s a reason she says she “doesn’t remember” where the house was.

Trump needs to come out strong and dress down the democrats for their tactics Monday. Turtle or Grassley won’t do it. The President needs to lead on this because he’s the only one who can beat the dems at their own game.

FBI has vetted and cleared Kavanaugh three times for federal judiciary positions. The pussy-hat wearing liar should be sued by Kavanaugh and the GOP. Feinstein should be censured, probably removed from the committee, along with “Spartacus,” for ethical violation of the Senate rules.

Even if they blow her up and this fails, the Dems will still use it as an excuse to claim that every one of Kavanaugh’s rulings is illegitimate.

The Anita Hill bloody shirt has passed its sell-by date. Time to get a new one.

Physicians for Human Rights was deeply interested in the welfare of Gitmo prisoners, in the whole bleedingheart torture meme, as is Feinstein, Ratner, etc.

I wonder if any psychologists or perhaps even this woman were involved in the Obama admin “care” or “studies” of Gitmo prisoners?

The group Physicians for Human Rights, which compiled the new report, described it as the most in-depth medical and psychological examination of former detainees to date. Doctors and mental health experts examined 11 detainees held for long periods in the prison system that President Bush established after the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

I believe that POTUS will send roaring Tweets tomorrow morning.

Not sure, he might want to just let this play out.
