Who put Christine Blasey Ford in charge of the Kavanaugh hearings? She has made an unsubstantiated and likely unsubstantiatable charge, and she is now making demands. The game is clear: the Democrats are trying to delay Kavanaugh’s confirmation until after the mid-terms, when they hope to control the House and the Senate. The American people should repudiate this disgusting tactic thoroughly, both now and in November.
“Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford demands ‘full investigation’ by FBI before testifying, in letter from her lawyers,” by Gregg Re, Fox News, September 19, 2018 (thanks to Mark):
Christine Blasey Ford has publicly accused Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault decades ago. A look at what she is saying and how top lawmakers are responding.
Story continues below advertisementChristine Blasey Ford, the California professor claiming Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her more than 35 years ago, late Tuesday demanded a “full investigation” by the FBI before she attends any congressional hearing or “interrogation” into her accusations.
In response, Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who said Ford is still invited to speak to the committee, countered that “nothing the FBI or any other investigator does would have any bearing on what Dr. Ford tells the committee, so there is no reason for any further delay.”
Other top Republicans, including Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, who had said they wanted to hear from Ford before voting, have indicated they would move forward with a vote if Ford chose not to testify.
Republicans have repeatedly invited Ford and Kavanaugh to testify on Monday after delaying a planned Judiciary Committee vote on his confirmation that had been scheduled for Thursday. Kavanaugh accepted the committee’s invitation, but Ford stayed mum until Tuesday night.
Ford’s insistence on an FBI investigation — which a federal law enforcement official told Fox News was “totally inappropriate” — throws the entire hearing into doubt: Grassley, R-Iowa, had threatened to nix the proceeding if Ford refused to participate.
It was also sure to add fuel to Republican claims that the allegations — which were known to ranking Judiciary Committee Democrat Dianne Feinstein in July, but revealed to federal authorities just last Thursday — are part of a concerted effort to stall Kavanaugh’s nomination at the last minute.
“While Dr. Ford’s life was being turned upside down, you and your staff scheduled a public hearing for her to testify at the same table as Judge Kavanaugh in front of two dozen U.S. Senators on national television to relive this traumatic and harrowing incident,” Ford’s attorneys wrote to Grassley.
But Grassley directly disputed that claim Tuesday night, writing in a statement that Ford had been offered a chance to testify privately, and had never been told she would need to sit near Kavanaugh.
In the letter, Ford’s lawyers went on to assert that Ford’s family “was forced to relocate out of their home” and that “her email has been hacked, and she has been impersonated online.”
“The hearing was scheduled for six short days from today and would include interrogation by Senators who appear to have made up their minds that she is ‘mistaken’ and ‘mixed up.’ While no sexual assault survivor should be subjected to such an ordeal, Dr. Ford wants to cooperate with the Committee and with law enforcement officials.”
The senator speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill.The lawyers, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, said historical precedent supported the delay, echoing comments by Feinstein, who on Tuesday wrote on Twitter that the FBI had also “investigated Anita Hill’s allegations of sexual harassment against Clarence Thomas,” the Supreme Court justice.
However, Thomas was accused of sexually harassing Hill while both worked at federal agencies, in potential violation of federal law; Ford has accused Kavanaugh of sexual harassment that would fall well outside of any applicable federal or state statute of limitations because the alleged episode occured [sic] decades ago….

All dem gang members supported by crooked RINO’s
Clinton mafia still active after Trump takeover as they kill another witness to email investigation http://tinyurl.com/y8p9cv5l
They know their hold overs in FBI / DOJ /NSC will help them out !
Unless they are totally purged including Left/Liberal judges to keep out their bias …its uphill task to prosecute them.

How ridiculous! There is NO CRIME even if her accusations are true which they are not. The FBI doesn’t chase ACCUSATIONS! This is stalling for time… You can’t change the rules for a liar! As the ACCUSER she needs to FACE who she is accusing and be questioned. She is bought and paid for by George SOROS Her attorney works for George Soros! Does she have cold feet too? Or just trying to DELAY this after the midterm?
Here’s Christine Blasey Ford in her puzzy hat, well hers is a tad different. It’s a brain because she is protesting the research funding that was cut off. She wore this for her ANTI TRUMP MARCH! She isn’t a very attractive girl. Maybe she had a crush on him and he didn’t respond? Who knows! I don’t believe her. She is bought and paid for by SOROS who only wants PROGRESSIVE judges!

She is ta quintessential Leftist-Fascist, trolling while being paid by the Democrats/Soros. These Leftists are the dregs of society and are the enemies of the state. Gussied up trailer-trash, malcontents and traitors but she, however, is a mere clog in an immense plot to usurp Trump and company, but more so, this Republic and its Constitution. Shameless of their perfidy and their alliance with Soros, the Democrats’ master.

It is up to the ACCUSER to prove the ACCUSATION.
She is the one presenting the charge. The FIB team doesn’t investigate accusations.
She has boxed herself in. Her latest version of this which happened in high school, about 36 years ago, i four people were there and ONLY Brett and Judge his friend saw what happened. There are NO other witnesses according to her and she didn’t come forward till 2012. What is there to investigate. It’s a he said she said and Brett has Judge as a witness that it didn’t happen. She has nothing. Need I mention she us lying and her attorney works for SOROS?

The agenda of this woman is obvious; but let’s suspend common sense and accept that there was an alcohol-fueled incident among these teenagers, including Kavanaugh, thirty-six years ago.
Even if this was this case, the complainant was neither raped nor injured; she left the room on her own accord, and her exit concluded the episode.
This is Dr. Ford’s own account of what transpired, yet she intends to destroy a man’s reputation and career because of it.
I would suggest that this in itself suggests a mean-spirited vindictiveness.
In fact, however, the evidence points in a different direction – that this event did not occur as described, if it occurred at all, and what is transpiring is simply an attempt at character assassination for political purposes.
We can gratefully acknowledge that the Democrats have overreached; the complainant’s refusal to testify, privately or in public, gives lie to her story.
Kavanaugh may still prevail, and the court will be better for it.

Though I will not demean this women, and I am in no position to comment on the veracity of her claims, my sense is that raising these issues now are politically motivated by the likes of both the democratic party and George Soros. I believe that the “me too” movement is running amok, though I do not support any activity that takes physical or emotional advantage of women. The conduct she is accusing him of is reprehensible, but the fact that she waited 36 years to raise it, even notwithstanding the emotional trauma that she claims affected her, is likewise inappropriate. That is compounded dramatically when the democrats admit they were aware of her charge and essentially kept it quiet until the 11th hour. Furthermore, what happens at a party involving teenagers should not be held against anyone who otherwise grows into a productive and contributing adult who’s character is never tainted with any misconduct of the sought that might occur when one was a teenager. I do not condone that inappropriate conduct, and it appears that no one can prove that it actually occurred or that Kavanaugh was involved, something he vehemently denies, but I respectively believe that it should not result in it being an albatross on the back of any person in such a negative manner as the democrats propose. This kind of nonsense is part and parcel of the divisiveness that is running rampant in our America’s, and I can see our adversaries hoping it will worsen and cause great damage to this country. We must get a hold of ourselves.

Let’s see, Feinstein waits until just before the vote to release the letter …. then Ford won’t testify untill after an FBI investigation. This smells like a giant delaying tactic to me … in the hope Democrats will take the senate.
Even if the charge is true, I don’t see, in and of itself, that it should be a disqualifying factor for Kavanaugh’s nomination. Ok, a 17 year old gets drunk, tries to get it on with some chick, who manages to wiggle away, and these people want to tar him the rest of his life?
Nah- I don’t think they care about his alleged action (many of these people were the same ones who defended Bill Clinton). This is all about politics, politics of the most odious sort.
For a more articulate statement along the same lines, people could go here:

Since she wants the FBI to investigate Kavanaugh. I want an FBI investigation into her including all the notes from the Therapist and a video of the Polygraph test if there is one.

if she is still unwilling to testify after 36 yrs traumatic years, why did she bring it up now ? why wait for an fbi investigation which is independent of her testimony ? because her story is full of holes , she wants to know what the investigations reveal b4 digging herself deeper and most importantly her handlers are using her accusation to delay the confirmation.
last week she said her patriotic duties overrode her trauma, that’s why she is speaking now. but she is once more hesitant to testify when she has the opportunity to be truly patriotic .this makes her allegations more and more questionable. i suspect he will be confirmed despite all these shenanigans .

For all we know, her blurred memories are of her own father molesting her, but because of her democRAT political bias, she is blaming the Judge for something he never did.

This means you are lying. Hiding behind the FIB (grammatically correct acronrym). Back seat driver is no way to own or drive a car.

What “investigation” could there possibly be in the absence of physical evidence. the absence of a specific date, the absence of a specific place? Even if she had told other people about this event 36 years ago when it happened there still remains no way to confirm any of it.
