Report: Trump Thinks Grassley Badly Handling Kavanaugh Accuser’s Demands
Breitbart ^ | 24 Sep 201868 | JOSHUA CAPLAN

President Donald Trump is none too pleased with how Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley (R-IA) is handling demands made by attorneys for Christine Balsey Ford, the California psychology professor who is scheduled to testify Thursday about her decades-old sexual misconduct allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a new report says. According to the Washington Post, President Trump believes Grassley has been “too accommodating” towards Ford, and he has grown tired of the professor’s legal team “getting their way” when it comes to setting the terms of their client’s testimony.

As Breitbart News reported, the chairman late Saturday evening granted yet another extension to Ford’s legal team to reply to a request that the accuser testify before lawmakers Wednesday. The following day, Ford’s legal team convinced members of Grassley’s staff to allow their client to appear before the panel on Thursday. The tentative agreement came after lawyers for Ford accused the Republicans of being “fundamentally inconsistent with the committee’s promise of a fair, impartial investigation into her allegations.”

Confirm Kavanaugh, then release the records of the Congressional Slush Fund for Sexual Misconduct.
Who was paid, on whose behalf. Open the books to those who pay the bills.
Maybe that will give these uppity schmucks something to be concerned about.


Bingo. Have been stating that to my wife repeatedly.

Want War we will bring it and you won’t like the outcome both Dems and Repubs...

I agree. The proper response is to tell the kook bitch that 30 years is too long ago to bring up, and that it wasn't even a serious crime even if it were true.

She should have been told in no uncertain terms that she has absolutely no credibility, and the Senate will not consider her ridiculous accusations at all.

In fact, they should have found her in contempt and fined her.

Breitbart is just quoting the WaPo, so that doesn’t add any credibility to the story. It’s fake news until otherwise proven. Trump was being very deferential to the hoaxer, too. He knows she won’t show, or if she does, it will go poorly. Waiting til Thursday and pretending to be willing to listen to her won’t hurt the timeline.

It's also possible that Sen Grassley, that old dumb farm boy from Iowa, is letting all those smart city-slickers think they've pulled a fast one on him.

Looking at the train wreck over past two weeks would lead me to conclude the farm boy has been slickered.

We have a SOCTUS nominee being mocked by assholes because he was forced to admit that he was a virgin past college in order to defend himself from vile and obscene filth spewed at him from vile and obscene people.

Confirmed or not, do that anyway.
