The Senate Judiciary Committee is postponing a high-stakes hearing set for early next week on the sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The committee announced on Friday that the Monday hearing where both Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, had been invited to speak was being called off.
Instead, Grassley said in a statement Friday that he is giving Fords lawyers until 10 p.m. on Friday to respond to the GOP request for her to testify on Wednesday. If they do not, or if Ford declines to testify, Grassley said the Judiciary Committee will vote Monday on Kavanaugh's nomination.

Grassley's statement of Friday evening:
"Its Friday night and nothings been agreed to despite our extensive efforts to make testimony possible, Grassley said. Im extending the deadline for response yet again to 10 oclock this evening. Im providing a notice of a vote to occur Monday in the event that Dr. Fords attorneys dont respond or Dr. Ford decides not to testify."

She wont come..remember se is scared to fly..She doesn't have to fly. The wonders of the Internet have that taken care of. She can be interviewed anyplace at any time. Her 'excuse' is total BS. And she and her lawyers know it.

It should. Any lack of testimony by Ford is now entirely on her own shoulders (and those of her over-politicized attorneys who take their direction, I’m certain, from Chucky and DiFi).
To: SpeedyInTexas
- This puta is a WaPo-generated avatar. Nothing more.
- Jeff Bezos is at the root of this - he directly ordered this slander on President Donald Trump
- As the critical piece of WaPo's larger, coordinated, planned-to-the-minute #MSM attack on Kavanaugh
- Upon Kavanaugh's nomination, Bezos immediately ordered the 'tip line' as fly paper to catch enough crazies
- Ford was adjudicated by WaPo as the 'least worst' of their 200 or so completely insane 'tip line' callers
- She was quickly vetted, and determined by Bezos, WaPo, Eshoo, Feinstein to have 'credibility problems'
- Feinstein takes the name to Schumer anyway, complains it's not sustainable; Schumer advises to simply replay the playbook they used against Justice Thomas
- Schumer additionally points out that even if they lose, they weaken #MeToo (which has disproportionately ensnared white liberals, and according to Larry David..."So you know, there's a lot of, a lot of sexual harassment stuff in the news of late, and uh, I couldn't help but notice, very disturbing pattern emerging...which is that many of the predators -- not all -- but many of them...are Jews." -- Larry David, SNL Host, Nov. 4, 2017)
- Feinstein agrees, pockets the garbage for a last-minute delay tactic, and...Eshoo's people nearly leaked it (!)
- Feinstein, now with Ford's burgeoning FBI file in hand (ha! keystrokes), determines Ford's slander can't be rehabilitated, insists on just using her as a delay tactic [interview delay, FBI invest delay, etc]; Schumer approves
- Note here that Feinstein/Schumer's confident, total reliance on an FBI invest should scare every American to their core, because they both know they have Deep Staters buried to the bedrock in that organization
- Ford is instructed to scrub her social media
- Feinstein is so sick of it all by now that she insists Schumer find another patsy for the media interviews, he objects but eventually settles on Mazie Hirono:
"From Connor Marley: Feinstein on Ford. Says Ford "is a woman that has been, I think, profoundly impacted, on this..I can't say that everything is truthful. I don't know."
- Unfortunately for Ford, every woman who has come to her defense with some supposed 'knowledge' of the incident has immediately retracted!
"To clarify my post: I do not have first hand knowledge of the incident that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford mentions...That's it. I don't have more to say on the subject." --@reinabori
- Schumer and Feinstein now attempt to disengage, leaving Ford to swim with the Democrat pr firm she's been handed off to, reducing her impact to a limp hashtag
- The Turtle, fully sensing terminal weakness in the Democrat's shitty gambit, orders Grassley to use Friday news dump day as 10pm cutoff, and also informs Senate roll call on Big K will be Monday morning.

She doesn’t want to fly, let her teleconference. She won’t be in the room with Kavanagh to boot.

She wont come..remember se is scared to fly..that is the latest bogus excuse from this lying skankShe has just begun to stall. Her goldfish hasn't died yet. She hasn't come down with the flu. A gunshot hasn't yet shattered her front window. No one has keyed her car. The possibilities are endless.
