A slim reed indeed. At this point, I am less concerned about convictions and more about transparency and its impact on the midterms. Prosecutions can take years and depending on where the trials take place, may not achieve the desired result. Getting convictions in DC will be difficult.
We are in a political struggle. The Dems understand it. Look how the polls have changed on Kavanaugh's confirmation. And I understand that there will be huge demonstrations planned for this week by Dem activists who are being flown and bused in to make this a real circus. If Ford testifies, this could be the reason why the desire to delay it until Thursday. It takes time to organize and orchestrate.
