Consider what McConnell said this morning. He was quite confident that Judge Kavanaugh would sit on the Supreme Court. That wasn’t typical political bluster. He knows something. Several things more likely. More likely, McConnell and the Democrats know that her story can’t hold water and therefore the Democrats will not let her testify under oath. He also knows that he has the votes, probably because the four wobbly Senators have been briefed and have agreed that they will vote for Kavanaugh.
None of this stuff that has occurred today was by accident.
