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."

Its a disgusting dirty low blow.

I heard on the radio that the lawyer for the accuser worked for Bill Clinton against Paula Jones.

She trashed Jones big time back then.

Dirty Washington politics.

She is signatory to an immigration letter to DHS by “Physicians for Human Rights”

Physicians for Human Rights sounds an awful lot like the communist front "physicians" group that the accuser against Hatfill in Mueller's Amerithrax investigation was associated with, the woman named Rosenberg who was a doc at some obscure Northeast hospital who fed the Democrats the "dossier" accusing Hatfill, a Rhodesian, of being a racis who used bioweapons in Africa or some such bullcrap.

One of Kavanaugh’s previous background investigations would have turned up any police report. There apparently wasn’t one.

My first thought was that a young girl prayed to be touched or jumped on by a young boy. Didn't happen then and she has been seething ever since. Now, a chance to get even for the boy NOT making a pass at her. What a bitch she has always been.

Good question, does the accused act equal sexual abuse? If she felt so violated, she should have made the charge immediately. not 35 years later when the supposed perp has been nominated to be a Supreme Court Justice.

Flake is on the Judiciary Committee. He would be the deciding vote 11-10.

If Grassley holds up the vote this Thursday I am done with the Republican Party. These simple minded ars holes are not worth my time. The Republican party has done almost as much damage as the communists Democrats.

Is this accuser’s “Physicians for Human Rights” just another version of Rosenberg and Nass’s [who is connected to the Cuba regime] group “Physicians for Social Responsibility?”
