Christine Braley Ford is already pushing for removal of the one-week time limit senators agreed to Friday on a new FBI investigation of her allegation that Judge Brett Kavanaugh sexually molested her 36 years ago at a high school party.
Ford “welcomes this step in the process,” her attorney, Debra Katz, said in a statement. Katz added that Ford “no artificial limits as to time or scope should be imposed on this investigation.”
If Ford refuses to change her position, it could blow up an informal deal worked out between Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary that allowed the Kavanaugh nomination to go forward while also allowing further investigation by the FBI of his background.
MEN need to take this country back, and take 'The View' out of politics FOR GOOD.
She is nuts.
True. It’s all ‘FORD THEATER’.
I didn’t know she was in charge of the FBI as well as the Senate. Silly me.
I doubt Ford said this. She might not even have asked for the FBI to investigate. While she was “testifying” to the Senate, she said she had no idea the Senate Commission had said they could come to California to hear her. I assume her lawyers don’t bother to inform her.
When did she become Senate Majority Leader?
tough. The investigation began this evening and it will stop when it’s finished in 3 days or so. A non-cooperative accuser, who has already been provided time to tell her story, has no choice in the matter.
Nope; this is exactly the way the Uniparty wants to run it.
They’re not held hostage in the sense of being GOP politicians. The MeToo movement unilaterally targets liberal males, after all. (See what I mean?)
Stop and think everyone about the low life’s that are running this country. . . We are in the gutter as a nation. How much more is the Lord going to put up with. I believe our country’s days are numbered unless we have a “come to Jesus” turnaround.
Flake said he’s trying to heal the country! I haven’t felt such unity since 9/11*! Thanks, Jeff! F*****g ***wipe.
* - and that unity lasted about a minute before the freaks showed their true colors
Any attempted further delay should lead to the vote on the Senate floor.
Well, as someone that has conducted Sexual Assault investigations, and admittedly not being the nations leading expert, I DO NOT EVER remember a time when the “alleged victim” dictated to me how the investigation would be conducted and how long it would take. In this case, she’s already provided all the witnesses that need to be interviewed.
Unfortunately for her, names that she dropped in support of her allegations will be interviewed wherever they live. Meaning that if one of her “witnesses” is in Seattle and they refuse to come to DC for an interview, they will be interviewed by FBI Agents from the Seattle field office. Sucks for them. And by the way, lack of cooperation on the part of the “victim” and “witnesses” is the quickest way to close out any investigation. And let us not forget about, 18 USC 1001. Especially on the part of the husband and the other witnesses, that weren’t really witnesses. It’ll take a good interviewer about 3 minutes to get through that.
I’d encourage the FBI, in their effort to be as thorough as possible, to interview every member of the PGA Tour for their investigation. Might provide some useful information.
Today is Saturday. Call the damn vote on Friday. Let all Senators live with their vote!
Yes they do.
It should, but it won’t!
monday. they’re going to be finished monday.
You’re right that this seems to be a demand from the people around Ford rather than Ford herself.
“the appropriate law enforcement agencies can be engaged”
nope. they’ve already said ONLY the victim can initiate an investigation, and even if she does so now, the statute of limitations on her “charge” was one year, so 35 years too late
