Grassley suggests last-minute Kavanaugh hearing could be canceled if accuser doesn’t accept invite
Fox News ^ | September 18 2018 | Alex Pappas

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley on Tuesday raised the possibility that next week’s high-stakes open hearing to examine the sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh could be canceled if the accuser doesn’t accept the committee’s invitation.

Grassley, R-Iowa, scheduled a hearing for Monday for Kavanaugh and accuser Christine Blasey Ford to answer questions from senators about the allegation. But Grassley said during a Tuesday radio interview that his office has reached out several times to Ford and her attorneys to discuss her allegation, but has heard nothing back.

Hmmm, I wonder why she hasn’t accepted the invitation yet?

She hasn’t had time to get her lies straight. They want to prep her with snarky victim answers.

Fear of political damage or the left has been threatened.

> Al Franken was forced out

Didn’t look like that to me. More like he saw an opportunity to make an exit and took it. Very odd that he was the one who brought up his own scandal, ain’t it?

Each day K is not confirmed is another day that new allegations could surface from incidents that happened in the Stone Age.

Dianne is already promising another bomb waiting in the wings if this fails.

Dems plan to have Kavanaugh dance to THEIR tune. They’ll wait till the last minute, then demand more time. Grassley needs to take this stunt in hand, and call for the vote Thursday. If democrats don’t want to participate, then the republican committee vote will stand. Flake better get his rear in gear, and Grassley and McConnell need to see to it. This business of letting the minority party run the show, needs to STOP!

Yep. This isn’t about Kavanaugh. It’s about the democrats. It’s about the Repubilcans on the committee. It’s about the MSM. And it is about the intelligence of the american voter.

That last one will be tested in November.This should utterly destroy the democrats - in a sane world. If the R’s don’t cave, we’ll know how sane this world is in November.

Women always tell their secrets to someone.

Bingo. No way she wouldn't have told her girlfriends at the time. No way she kept this a secret until 2012 when Romney might have nominated K.

Agree. Flake needs to STFU because he is part of the problem and not part of the solution. He wants to hurt President Trump but instead is hurting the whole country.

Absolutely. Be polite, but tolerate no more nonsense. A 36 year old claimed non-rape involving mid-teenagers is not ordinarily given much credibility without clear corroboration.

We need this confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh, to rally enthusiasm for the fall election! And, of course, to vindicate our legal heeritage,

I really don’t think the democrats CARE what we think. If they were given that option, they’d GLADLY take it. Getting Kavanaugh off the Appeals court AND the SC would be a great big twofer for them. It’s not as if they have any shame, or anything. They are NOT going to play fair, honorable, and honest. It’s manifestly IMPOSSIBLE for them to do so, and they wouldn’t do, even if they could.

So basically, Grassley called the Dems bluff on this phony charge.

There is absolutely NO WAY that under any terms of “fair Play” that Diane Fienstein should have ANY VOICE in this process AT ALL as a Senator of this committee.

She is a tainted witness in the process to smear BK. She should not be allowed to be on the committee during anything related to the BK nomination.

The Committee should immediately vote to force her recusal on the matter. She did not act in an honest manner in either personal or public questioning of Kavanaugh.
