Kavanaugh Accuser Opens Negotiations on Testimony Next Week
« on: September 20, 2018, 07:09:55 pm »

Uhhhh .... NO! :chairbang:

Quote
WASHINGTON — The woman who has accused Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh of sexual assault, in an apparent bid to jump-start negotiations, has told the Senate Judiciary Committee that she “would be prepared to testify next week,” so long as senators offer “terms that are fair and which ensure her safety,” according to an email her lawyers sent to committee staff members.

In the email, obtained by The New York Times, the lawyer for Christine Blasey Ford said that testifying Monday — the timetable Republicans have set for a hearing — “is not possible and the Committee’s insistence that it occur then is arbitrary in any event.” The lawyer reiterated that it is Dr. Blasey’s “strong preference” that “a full investigation” occur before her testimony — wording that stopped short of demanding an F.B.I. probe and suggested she is open to testifying without one.

So, it's still a stall and little has changed.

Exactly, @TomSea.

Hey, @corbe, is there a poll as to whether or not she will show up?  I bet there's bets going somewhere on that question by now.

She'll demand not to be questioned at all. No one can ask why she doesn't remember the date and location of the traumatic (imaginary) event that derailed her. Her high school yearbook will not be mentioned.

(Big) if she is there, she won't answer any inconvenient questions and will make all sorts of demands that make it impossible to get to the truth.  I voted "no".

Ford taps Obama, Clinton alum to navigate Senate hearing

BY TAL AXELROD - 09/20/18 03:32 PM

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of committing sexual assault when they were in high school, has hired Democratic operative Ricki Seidman to help navigate a potential hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Seidman, now a senior principal at TSD Communications, confirmed her role in an interview with Politico.

Seidman worked as Joe Biden’s communication’s director during the 2008 general presidential election campaign after Biden was picked as Barack Obama’s running mate. She also assisted in guiding Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

And (surprise!!!):

Seidman, a senior principal at TSD Communications, in the past worked as an investigator for Sen. Ted Kennedy, and was involved with Anita Hill’s decision to testify against Supreme Court Nominee Clarence Thomas.

Repubs should get one person to ask her questions..preferably a woman who was once a prosecutor

Not good optics to have a whole bunch of men asking questions to a poor defenseless almost rape victim............/s

Did Clarence Thomas withdraw?  Hell no.  He fought and called the ass holes trying to "lynch" him what they were.

I don't think withdrawing is an option.  Getting another candidate vetted, groomed, and confirmed by January 20, 2019 might not be easy.

(in case unthinkably the GOP loses the senate)
