Time To Smear Kavanaugh's Good Name...

[Cow Poke]

So....



Either she believes her story is true, or she doesn't. What does it matter who questions her? This is sounding like another stall, or maybe even a "we're not going to testify at all" kind of thing.

Actually, that's referring to a different incident, the one that allegedly happened at Yale. As usual with salacious political gossip, you find the truth buried deep in the article, far below the misleading bullet points that lead off the story.

First, Roche says he wasn't an eyewitness:

"Roche claims that although he did not witness the alleged incident, he was inclined to agree with Ramirez based on his experience around Kavanaugh."

Secondly, he says that he "did not interact with Kavanaugh 'beyond the first few days of freshman year'".

Yet we're supposed to believe that he has some deep insight into Kavanaugh's character despite openly conceding that he barely knew the guy.

Yeah, just found that. I'm just trying to see this thing from all angles.

Yep... they claim they want a full investigation, but when Grassley announces that he has secured an experienced and impartial sex crimes prosecutor to ask the questions, Ford's attorney cries foul. What's he afraid of, that the truth will come out?

I think it's becoming more apparent that the Dems never imagined that Ford's story would go this far. I don't think they were planning on releasing the name - I think they were counting on making a media stink (which is happening) and forcing the normally gutless spineless Republicans to back down.

I think their bluff has been called, and they have no idea how to recover. Meanwhile, they're scouring the planet for ANYBODY who will make a credible allegation, or actually corroborate Ford's story.

I think the Dems believe that all they have to do is keep enough confusion and mayhem in this that MAYBE this will be pushed beyond the midterms, and they can save the day from their newly found majority status.

Not naming the prosecutor is smart. It will prevent the Democrats from trying to manufacture "dirt" to disqualify her.

Also, allowing a special counsel to do the questioning will ensure that no Democrat senators attempt to grand stand or otherwise disrupt the proceedings like they did during the confirmation hearing.

I wish Grassley had stuck to his original Friday deadline, but it seems like he's doing everything in his power to give Kavanaugh's accusers all the rope they want.

They insist that the incident be investigated. Who better than an experienced prosecutor to investigate the allegations?

more likely they want HER to have an attorney and be questioned by the senators so they can play legal games with objections and such and are afraid an experienced prosecutor will be wise to the games and get to the truth.

Exactly. Her lawyer's letter even said that he wanted the senators to ask the questions, and that they would be shirking their Constitutional responsibility by passing it off to a special counsel.

Like the plague.

Like the plague.

I suspect its not her who wants the circus.

I suspect its not her who wants the circus.

More likely, her attorney and/or Dem leadership wants the circus - assuming she's telling what she thinks is the truth. I expect she's having second thoughts.

[Cow Poke]

Of course not - she's just a pawn in the hands of the destroyers.

But, hey, she'll get to write a book and the Dems will eat it up.
