Have the haring to give Kavanaugh a chance to deny the charges under oath and present his witnesses.

I was reading the bio on Kavanaugh and found something interesting I did not know about: He worked for Ken Starr and drafted the Starr report that called for Bill Clintons impeachment. He was also involved in investigation of the murder of Vince Foster by the Clintons.

So what we have here is someone who went against the Clintons and what happens when someone does that? They are either killed or their career is destroyed. This accuser is a far leftist and does she have some connections to the CCF, Clinton crime family?

1) Lying to Congress prosecution fear?

2) Waiting for the check to clear.

Probably both. Soros’ people are busy making the arrangements. DNC is coordinating.

She will agree Friday to come in October 1st or sometime later (as recommended by her therapist), seeing as how she has been fuhrer traumatized by anonymous threats from friends of Kavanaugh.

When ask for phone records to track these folks down she replied through her lawyer, "It's not up to me to validate these threats." :>)

This woman is in way over head. I don’t think she understood what she was in for. Willfully ignorant.

They could never prove she lied any more than Kavanaugh can prove he's innocent. This isn't about truth or justice, it's about winning an election by destroying a man. Period.

The allegation is out there, the GOP is poised to cave. No need to go any further. Now dems can go off to brag to the base how they stopped evil Trump's rapist SCOTUS appointee and how they will put Trump in prison before he can ever have another nominee.

The left is willing to stick a knife in the bowels of the nation in order to preserve the SCOTUS as a leftist tool. That's all that matters here.

Christine Ford musta heard about testifying under oath before Congress.

WIKI-—Making false statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001) is the common name for the United States federal crime laid out in Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which generally prohibits knowingly and willfully making false or fraudulent statements, or concealing information, in “any matter within the jurisdiction” of the federal government of the United States,[1] even by merely denying guilt when asked by a federal agent.[2]

A number of notable people have been convicted under the section, including Martha Stewart,[3] Rod Blagojevich,[4] Michael T. Flynn,[5] Rick Gates,[6] Scooter Libby,[7] Bernard Madoff,[8] and Jeffrey Skilling.[9]

This statute is used in many contexts. Most commonly, prosecutors use this statute to reach cover-up crimes such as perjury, false declarations, and obstruction of justice and government fraud cases.[10]

Its earliest progenitor was the False Claims Act of 1863. In 1934, the requirement of an intent to defraud was eliminated. This was to prosecute successfully, under the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 (NIRA), the producers of “hot oil”, i.e. oil produced in violation of restrictions established by NIRA. In 1935, NIRA was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

The statute spells out this purpose in subsection 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a), which states:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—

(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device[ , ] a material fact;
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331),[11] imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both....

Exactly.

Note to all to look at the statute cited in the post above.

Also, if Kavanagh did this horrible act how is he fit to sit on the D.C. bench? Surely this will all come up at an impeachment proceeding. Since it’s a federal judgeship, the proper place for hearing is in the U.S. Senate.

So let’s have her heard now instead of later.

“Moonbat chokes on her own fairy dust”

That’s it.

Halfwit realizes the whole world is watching and her lies will trap her.

But she has no right to try to stop the process under these circumstances. Absent her testimony, it shouldn’t even be a consideration. They should vote.

And Feinstein should be kicked off the committee.

Under no circumstances should anyone be asked to deny accusations under oath that were not made under oath.

If "Betty" Ford doesn't show up to testify, her accusations should be considered completely inoperative -- which is exactly what the FBI did.

Wow. It is surprising that the process has been this easy. The Clinton's ain't what they used to be.
