The FBI is going to talk Ford about threats she is (allegedly) receiving. Meaning they haven't yet. If she's been getting threats for a week, her lawyer should have already filing complaints with the police and the FBI, and the threats would be on CNN all day long.
The longer this goes on, the less Ford's behavior makes sense.
Its also pointless, if Kavanaugh is seated late, he's still on the court.
Do we have any details on what kind of threats Ford has received. And now the President Reagan’s daughter, Patti Davis, has just reported her own rape 40 years ago and says she finds Ford’s report credible, I wonder what kind of flack she will end up getting. So far I have not seen the story below reported here at FR.
