The Senate Judiciary Committee has reportedly reached a tentative agreement for Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, to testify next week.
The deal, struck hours after Ford's lawyer responded to an early afternoon deadline saying that she would testify before the panel, would have her testify on Thursday, according to multiple reports.
The person briefed on talks between the Judiciary Committee and Ford's lawyers told the AP that talks would continue into Sunday.
Tweet: Nicholas Fanos: NEW: Per multiple sources familiar, lawyers for Blasey Ford, Grassley and Feinstein have tentatively agreed to a THURSDAY hearing in a call this evening.
She probably has some psychological condition that only allows her to travel no more that forty miles a day.
This is beyond ridiculous!
Grasskey needs to step down
We lost .
Mitch you moron
You caved
Unbelievable
Trump lost
Unreal
Midterms lost
“The ignorance in the Republican leadership is massive.
She dictated to the U. S. Senate exactly what she wanted and they caved right through two or three deadlines, then gave her what she demanded. The Democrats may destroy Kavanaughs chances. They dont have the goods, but our leadership is filled with nancy boys.”
No kidding. And DiFi gets away with giving Grassley the finger when he asked for a copy of the original Ford letter, so right off the bat the Repubs on the Committee are placed at a disadvantage, as is Kavanaugh.
Grassley is an utter embarrassment.
That's why Grassley won't hesitate to string this thing out until Election Day. Ford initially "demanded to be heard," and then immediately hired a team of lawyers that has demanded all kinds of ridiculous conditions for her testimony. That quickly undermined Ford's credibility -- probably beyond repair.
Once she did that, she looks like a total fool if she refuses to testify but then runs to the TV cameras to interviews about her allegations.
Ford, her legal team, and the Democrats were like the dog chasing the car down the road. The Republicans are all inside the car, and Grassley has been slowly depressing the gas pedal in the hopes that the dog will catch up to them.
In this case, the "dog" knows what's happening and just keeps running slower. LOL.
“muliple sources” = 2 Democrats.
Again this ultimately is a result of the failed leadership of Mitch McConnell and Cuck Grassley! Too bad POTUS Trump doesnt have the guts to call out his own partys GUTLESS gutless leadership BY NAME instead of just blaming the DimRats! This Kavanaugh fiasco is solely due to the piss poor GOP leadership in the Senate along with Trump NOT specifically calling them out!
For the next five days her lawyers are going to be on every cable news program with their names right below their faces. They'll do just fine in the publicity department.
As far as getting paid, CBF has several GoFundMe accounts that are getting fatter and fatter.
She doesn't need to show up to make her lawyers rich and famous.
When will they reach a final agreement, and what will be the terms and conditions of said agreement?
Would be great if Trump could negotiate the terms.
I agree.
To quote Dingy Reid....’This war is lost!’
Very sickening and sad. Yet....what do WE do? Certainly not show up, en masse, like the leftists do.
I know, I know....WE all have jobs/responsibilities, etc.
It’s just disheartening to know that they show up, on a moments notice, to yell, scream and get their way....while our side twiddles our thumbs and shakes our fists at the computer.
Two sets of laws, in this country, now. :-(
Siri doesn’t like me. I am NOT driving her to DC. No way! But I’ll bet if she drives, it will be a campaign style caravan, stopping at cities for rallies, raising money, gathering a more and more people to continue on to DC. A spectacle.
Graham has been the strongest Republican on the committee up to this point. If his name is on the list, you know damn well it’s all just for political optics.
"A Term of the Supreme Court begins, by statute, on the first Monday in October. Usually Court sessions continue until late June or early July."
That's a year lost.
is already a circus. The circus will start wearing thin when the leftist activists start causing trouble (which they will, its what they do). Although Im beyond PO-ed about this, I remain confident that Grassley and McConnell know what theyre doing.
Time is on our side.
Really?
Then how did Neil Gorsuch get confirmed in April 2017 and begin hearing cases LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LATER?
Oh, you mean like she'll recall the exact location, the exact date, and come up with name of witnesses that she didn't know or recall just a few days earlier? Hows that work?
Its over folks if Trump allows this .
Where did you see that?
I suspect you didn't see it anywhere.
