Kavanaugh, accuser to testify publicly on Monday
The Hill ^ | 09/17/2018 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 09/17/2018 3:23:05 PM PDT by SpeedyInTexas

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the woman accusing him of sexual crimes during a party when the two were teenagers will testify in public on Monday.

The public hearing could be pivotal to Kavanaugh's confirmation, which was on a glide path until Christine Blasey Ford came forward publicly with her accusations on Sunday.

No, she’ll lie and claim that she “doesn’t remember”, a la Hilary, when the questioning gets too tough for her; i.e. when was this party, how did she get home, why didn’t she ever tell anyone until 2012, why were she and her husband in therapy in 2012, why did she scrub all of her on line stuff, HOW, exactly, has it “ruined” her life, when she married, has 4 children, many college degrees, a job, etc.!

She could have gone to a psychiatrist to start a paper trail long ago. None of the classmates heard of any of this.
Also, it would be interesting to know more about her as a Professor.

The dichotomy will be perfect to run on, once Judge Kavanaugh proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he wasn’t and couldn’t be at this party then the dems will have to explain why they still support even a hearing for Ellison. For two months the GOP can hit the dems on Ellison. It really is backfiring nicely.

The smart thing for republicans to do is to say the believe something obviously happened to this woman when she was a child, but she was mistaken about it being Brett Kavanaugh.

This is way too much of a delay and I don’t know when or if the subsequent committee vote will be scheduled. With a full week to prepare, she will be as heavily scripted and medicated as necessary. There will be great grandstanding and crazed political speeches, etc. Also, wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the Dems are preparing additional women to come forward as necessary to continue the circus.

Yes, and that’s ridiculous. By her own description it doesn’t even meet the standard of sexual assault. Two guys were horsing around, got a little frisky, she resisted, they quit end of story.

Problem with your story: Mark Judge was there, even Blasey-Ford admits this, and even he says Kavanaugh never did anything of the sort. Judge is the weak link in her chain... which is why even DiFi is distancing herself from Blasey-Ford.

If the Professor goes public for questions, she will not be able to answer the questions which could be a disaster.

“This is going to backfire spectacularly I’m thinking.”

I’m thinking that too ... the Dems bluffed and the GOP has the balls to call the bluff unlike what they used to do in the past.

I think this will work out for us ... I understand others are thinking differently, and you have every right to think that way given the history of the GOP cowering in fear when anything resembling adversity rears its head, but I think there is political capital to be had (i.e. GOP boost during the midterm campaigns) if we call their bluff and win the argument :-).

The press will spin this idiotic story any way they want ... however, having her testify and make an ass of herself (you know 3/4 of her replies will be “I don’t recall”) will shut the press up for the most part.

Overall, the Dems are looking for the Republicans to “attack” her so that they can start a “victim shaming” narrative ... however, again, once the facts start coming out and she has no idea about anything, this will all be swept under the rug, but stuck in the public’s mind during the midterms.

Flake hates Trump more and more. Hatred is like a poison.
He cannot seem to get past his hatred.

“Why not tomorrow..does the lil lying bimbo have to get her hair done and fake crying in tact”

Yes, but also to make sure the advance payment from the book publisher and check from George Soros clears the bank.

I just noticed that she does not have a rating on Rate My Professor but she is listed as being a psychology professor at Stanford. Odd.

“Trump said today it’s no big deal if it’s delayed a bit. Monday seems reasonable.”

I concur with your reasoning.

Maybe the Dems. are trying to distract from the release of the documents by Trump. The are trying to change the subject for a week.

And I take it that the commie ‘RATS will start the impeachment hearing to remove Kavanaugh from the D.C. Court of Appeals immediately after the ho finishes flapping her p*ssyhat at the handmaggots in their handmaggot customes up in the peanut gallery. If Kavanaugh cannot be confirmed, he cannot be allowed to remain on the court of appeals. Go for it ‘RATS!!!! Nice can of worms you got there, @$$holes.

There was no need to delay anything .
There is no evidence just a flimsy story from documented
SF bay area lefty who was
cheap date and drunk in HS .
Her brother is Dem lawyer with the Clinton Fusion GPS
law firm in DC.

Grassley and Mitch are useless puppets of Chuck Shummer .
