Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, has agreed to testify before the Senate next week, her lawyer said Saturday.
The exact terms and timing of her testimony remain unclear, as negotiations between Ford's lawyers and staff for the Senate Judiciary Committee remain ongoing.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) had given Ford's lawyers until Saturday afternoon to decide on whether she would proceed with testifying.
An email from Ford's lawyers sent to the Judiciary Committee shortly before a 2:30 p.m. deadline said Ford had accepted the panel's "request to provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct next week."
The email didn't specifically say that Ford was agreeing to a Wednesday hearing date, which is what the Judiciary Committee has proposed.
And Debra Katz, Ford's lawyer, noted that they still need to work out an "agreement on the details."
Both sides have been wrangling over the exact day and conditions for Ford's testimony.
Ford has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a high school party in the early 1980s.
Kavanaugh has flatly denied the allegations and said he would appear for a hearing next week.
LOL!! Hopefully you were able to get back to sleep afterwards.
What most are forgetting is that Kavanaugh will testify last and he will have a microphone all to himself.
He knows the law, he knows the rules of evidence, and he knows required court proceedings.
He will demonstrate that the accuser has absolutely nothing.
When he has finished, the accuser will gather up all her lawyer snakes and slither back to California.
The senators on the panel could also do the same thing, but I am not sure they have the guts to make the effort.
That's part of the negotiations. Democrats want him to go first and she gets the last word.
You are such a defeatist.
Ditch Grassley ASAP. When is he up for re-election?
“That’s part of the negotiations.”
I doubt it. They will bend a lot, but not on making Kavanaugh testify BEFORE he hears what he is accused of doing! She’ll go first, or not at all.
It’s the weekend. Most people have better things to do.
You forgot...a 22 year-old buff male masseuse must be sent to her hotel room one hour before the hearing.
>>>Everyday more and more Americans are seeing this as the farce it is<<<
Is that your Opinion or is there a source that you can refer us to so we can see the numbers?
The DNC Media has gone all in and I wouldn’t be surprised that they are turning Brain Dead Women of all Political Beliefs and some Brain Dead Liberal Men against him as well.
That is my opinion, but I will hope I am as wrong as wrong can be.
It’s too bad Grassley didn’t read Trump’s “Art of the Deal” Book. If he did he would have pushed this all on Feinstein for not releasing the Unredacted Letter from Ford before he gave them an inch. He gave that bargaining chip away and apparently a lot more.
>>>LOL!! Hopefully you were able to get back to sleep afterwards<<<
Yep, but I just should have stayed up and gotten some stuff doe around the House. I was dragging after I got up the second time.
This Old Age stuff is a killer. I hit 65 a couple of Months ago and it’s been downhill ever since.
So, you noticed, too. All these newbie trolls tonight, being paid $10 an hour and all the Starbucks they can drink...trying to fool veteran FReepers. Blowjob Ford’s handlers must be desperate!
...well maybe... if it suits her mood and the Leftist agenda...
I’m 71, so I know what you’re talking about. I’m a night owl basically because I mostly worked the 3-11 p.m. shift (and some 11 p.m to 7 a.m.) for the latter part of my career. I usually don’t go to bed until 3 a.m. or after. Been doing that since I retired in 2003. The energy level just ain’t what it used to be. I keep telling myself I need to vacuum my apartment, and wash my kitchen floor, but the body doesn’t want to oblige me. Wish I’d been born rich instead of beautiful so I could hire someone else to do the trivial stuff for me :-)
The more they (R’s) coddle this twit (and all her controllers) the more they lower the bar for future protests.
This lack of decisive action by Grassley and committee Republicans just further empowers the socialist for future resistance.
Let's be clear: She is NOT a physician; she is a professor. The whole "Dr." thing, while socially acceptable, is really more about lending her 'credibility'. As it is, I have known many professors who are really kooks.
A source like information from the cable news organizations ?
LOL...
I talk to normal regular people everyday...even the ladies are dubious of her claims...
Are the repubs geldings, castratos, capons, quislings or...? We will see in a week.
