Christine Blasey Ford, accuser of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, agrees to Senate testimony about sexual assault claim

• Christine Blasey Ford, a California professor at the center of a sexual assault accusation against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, has agreed to testify to representatives of the Senate Judiciary Committee sometime next week.
• The details have yet to be worked out, but it could mean the end of a lengthy and emotional political fight that has stalled Kavanaugh's nomination.

  Below is the full text of the letter Ford's legal team sent to Senate staffers: [From the bottom of the link]

  Dr. Ford accepts the Committee's request to provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct next week. Although many aspects of the proposal you provided via email, on September 21, 2018, at 2:33 pm, are fundamentally inconsistent with the Committee's promise of a fair, impartial investigation into her allegations, and we are disappointed with the leaks and the bullying that have tainted the process, we are hopeful that we can reach agreement on details. Can we set up a time for later this afternoon to continue our negotiations?

  Sincerely,

  Debra S. Katz

She’s been saying all along that she “will testify”....

IF

“further negotiations” meet her ridiculous demands.

I don’t believe we’ll ever see her in DC.

She wants to put others under oath and create a trial atmosphere where her recollection is unassailably true, whether she has any details or not. And every denial is untrue, and an assault on all the female victims of the me too generation. From Great Grandma to those just being born.

And I hate to think Republicans will go along with that. But we have seen nothing from them yet.

[BlackAdderess]

I’ll believe it when I see it. Is there anything out there saying that she has accepted the terms of testifying first and being questioned by a female attorney?

[Leep]

Will they have to publicly apologize, and denounce their male white privilege, before she takes the stand.

[Trump20162020]

"Dr. Ford accepts the Committee’s request to provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual misconduct next week...we are hopeful that we can reach agreement on details."

This is the same crap! What's new about it? She "accepts" as long as her lengthy list of demands is met.

Which means..she wants HER demands to be met BEFORE she will testify

Admin’s could you perhaps put the title of the thread in quotes? It’s a little misleading probably without them. Up to you! Thanks!

but she requests further negotiations over details of the hearing

hell NO !

This mockery has gone on about 3 weeks too long .. gawd how I hate those Rat bastards !

[snarkytart]

who is Christine? A friend we know?

[djpg]

If Grassley has kept to the last deadline, we would nor be here now. This is ludicrous. I have no faith in Grassley, the Republicans, or the government.

[shanover]

ENOUGH with these games!!!

[BlackAdderess]

I think this is nothing more than a way to prevent the Monday vote. I don’t think she will ever show. They should have let the last deadline pass and taken that Monday vote.

[RoseofTexas]

Delay, delay it’s all about delaying!!! They are playing this PREFECTLY BRILLIANTLY! They have the spineless asses right where they want them!! 3 datelines and still negotiating.... imbeciles!

[joshua c]

More stall

[Alberta's Child]

She hasn’t made an actual allegation in anything remotely resembling a legitimate legal format. No police report, no sworn statement ... nothing of the sort.

[SERKIT]

If “justice delayed is justice denied”, and no charges were made in the 1980’s (and we don’t even know what year), then WHO is being denied justice? If Kavanaugh could have cleared his name in he 1980’s, isn’t HIS justice being denied?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Wai....wut? I missed that. It is on that blogger’s page with the yearbook.

[Revel]

I read the letter and they didn’t agree to anything. This is an obvious stalling tactic. How do you agree to something and then state that you only agree to it if you will get the conditions you have demanded all along. If the committee accepts this than I have lost all respect for them.

[Cinnamontea]

And I hate to think Republicans will go along with that. But we have seen nothing from them yet.

Republicans have been stupid from the start. (Either that or they never wanted Kavanaugh--and I'm beginning to suspect that.) Their first mistake was taking too long to get the hearings started. It's as though this was their first rodeo. Like they didn't know the Demoncrats were going to play the delay-and-accusation game. Where have they been? Grassley is a damn fool. I wish he'd prove me wrong, but he won't.
