Backpedaling? Ford's Lawyer Sends a Letter to Grassley With Grave Concerns
Townhall ^ | 25 September 2018 | Beth Baumann

Posted on 09/24/2018 10:43:47 PM PDT by lowbuck

One of the attorneys for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Judge Brett Kavanaugh's first sexual assault accuser, sent a letter late Monday night to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley expressing concerns about the format of Thursday's hearings.

In his letter, attorney Michael Bromwich expressed concern over an experienced sex crimes prosecutor coming in to help with the hearings. More than anything, Bromwich immediately demanded a copy of the prosecutor's resume after arguing that there is no need for him or her to be present. His argument: neither Ford nor Kavanaugh are on trial.

Bromwich also said Ford's team is not convinced that she will receive a "fair and credible" process because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Ford's accusations are a "smear campaign" put together by the Democrats as a means of keeping Kavanaugh from being confirmed.

Reminds me of that Tom Cruise movie with Jack Nicholson, where Jack finally spills the beans about the truth.

Something along the lines of...

“They were in danger.”
“Didn’t you say grave danger?”
“Is there any other kind of danger!!??”

If didn’t start driving Saturday , she never intended to show. It’s a 3,000 mile drive. To be comfortable you’d want to average 600 to 700 miles a day. You’d want a day’s rest. Has she started driving?

Subpoena Her Now!It’s time to Freep these two Senators and tell them it’s time that her games end and subpoena her to be there on Thursday UNDER oath and backpedal all the promises made to her except for the female lawyer. She hates the idea that the optics will be gone of “old white men” asking the questions. Subpoena Her Now!

Let that be a lesson from Trump...liberals just can’t stand it when we FIGHT BACK. Like all bullies, they melt into silly putty and flail about like the “terminator” in the molten steel.

It’s common knowledge that any lawyer working for soros has to sell a their soul. Besides, it would just get in the way.

Ford has made all sorts of nuanced demands that only someone worried about being caught lying (pejuring herself) would make.

Since this accuser is not directly involved in politics, we can safely assume the "Perjury Trap Blues" is
being orchestrated by political insiders like Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, the DNC, and other midterm dreamers.

More horse sh*t delays.

Vote Kavanaush in, already, and put an end to this farce.

And what’s happened is that they used the delay to roll out a new allegation over the weekend.

Get ready for more allegations if the GOP fails to act now and get the votes over with to put Kavanaugh on the court.

Its all a deliberate attempt to keep this guy off the court when the new session opens up just days from now.

There is an interest in knowing what potential criminal charges (other than lying to the Senate, which is a felony) could be brought related to this.

If "political gain" qualifies, the perpetrators and principles of this scripted "midterm stagecraft," would meet the definition of blackmail perfectly.

we need to determine if Democrats are raising campaign money on this, then “political gain” would probably qualify as meeting the definition of criminal blackmail.

Her apearance and the vote are two independent things.

She can testify whenever, take the vote now.

Do you think Grassley will cave on this and do you think someone from the committee will leak the name of the prosecutor?
