The woman who accused Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault back when they were in high school wants a law enforcement investigation of the incident before testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to her lawyer who appeared on CNN Tuesday night.
Kavanaugh is expected to testify Monday.
“Any talk of a hearing on Monday frankly is premature because she just came forward with these allegations 48 hours ago. And since that time, she has been dealing with hate mail, harassment, death threats. So she’s been spending her time trying to figure out how to put her life back together, how to protect herself and her family. And there hasn’t been an investigation and these are serious allegations,” Lisa Banks, Christine Blasey Ford’s lawyer, said.
“She’s not prepared to talk with them at a hearing on Monday,” she continued. “No investigation — any legitimate investigation is not going to happen between now and Monday."

Stalling the vote.
Yes, You are probably right.
Flake and Corker are back on board now that she’s backing out. Plan the vote for Tuesday. Period.
The FBI has ZERO jurisdiction to investigate what would be a state matter that the statute of limitations has expired on in the first place.
The committee needs to vote Thursday as planned. This charade has been fully exposed. If the republicans don’t immediately vote, they are total losers.
too much at stake, McConnell, Pence, Trump need to KNOW for certain what Corker, Collins and Flake are going to do.
If they reammed the hearing through Thursday, CCF could Flake out on us...…………….no pun intended.
Exactly!
And it must have been a hell of a lot to put herself and family in such jeopardy!
Take the committee vote, pass it to the full Senate and wrap the confirmation up!
If a republican doesn’t vote for confirmation they should be stripped of all authority. McConnell needs to make this known and make it happen. Even if flake votes no Kavanaugh would still be confirmed. The turtle can make it happen, if he wants to.
She has nothing. She’ll never show up.
Democrats have said they will not show up at the hearing on Monday, if held.
If flake causes problems, just bypass the Committee and go straight to the full senate.
See below. Flake is not running either. They could care less what McConnell does to them. Minimally, they will trade Trump their votes for dam’s and highways back home.
Sen. Bob Corker won’t seek re-election next year

Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, announces he will not seek re-election next year.
This man has been the subject of six invasive FBI background investigations in the course of his judicial service.
He was just subjected to nearly 40 hours of intense, partisan questioning.
Over a million pages of documents have been submitted to the committee.
Stop the silliness. VOTE! Get all these assclowns and rino’s on the record. The American People demand it!
I saw this afternoon where Flake said if Ford won’t go before the committee go ahead with the vote.
Dems want ice water in Hell too...
Wonder who’s paying for all of the legal fees? Soros?
Cornyn said the same thing. Hopefully the the squish sisters Collins and Murkowski are on board with that as well.
Yes indeed. Pound sand and deliver the payload.
