Grassley: Dems 'withheld information' on new Kavanaugh allegation
By Emily Birnbaum - 09/23/18 10:59 PM EDT

A spokesperson for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Sunday night said the panel will "attempt to evaluate" new allegations of sexual assault regarding Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The spokesperson in a statement slammed Democrats for "withholding information" regarding the allegations.

"Yet again, Senate Democrats actively withheld information from the rest of the Committee only to drop information at politically opportune moments," the statement said, doubling down on his remarks that Democrats withheld the first allegation against Kavanaugh from Christine Blasey Ford, who went public last week.

The spokesperson said the Democrats appear to be "more interested in a political takedown" than "pursuing allegations through a bipartisan and professional" investigation.

"Of course, we will attempt to evaluate these new claims," the statement added.

@mystery-ak said she’s been expecting someone to claim Kavanaugh was improper with the girls he coaches, and it’s worrying to me, too.  As of last night, leftists on Twitter were clamoring for an investigation into it, and posting photos of girls sitting behind him at the hearing in school uniforms as if that had a sick significance.  IMO myst is right and they’ll turn him into a pedophile if they can manage it.

That's exactly what I thought the smear would be, not these hazy drunken parties 30+ years ago.

How soon till something from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley's past surfaces?

@mystery-ak

Maybe they figured they would work up to it, lay some groundwork, as pathetic as it is.

If this was reversed and a Dem had been accused, the  party would be out front, fighting back.  Kavanaugh’s life is being destroyed while Grassley peers over his glasses.

...or they just couldn't find a little girl and her family willing to lie.

I don't know what Grassely is afraid of..just call the vote or send it to McConnell and the Senate Floor.

I think this lates accusation may have jumped the shark...

I’m hoping so, too.

This is two days ago, but I just saw it and I’m cringing.

With all the extensions we give Dr Ford to decide if she still wants to testify to the Senate I feel like I’m playing 2nd trombone in the judiciary orchestra and Schumer is the conductor
