Grassley opens door to second hearing after third Kavanugh accuser surfaces

Senate Judiciary Committee Chuck Grassley on Wednesday opened the door to holding a second hearing after a third woman accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of mistreating women, and being in the room when she was gang raped.
“We’re going to take this step-by-step, and you’ll have to ask me that question Thursday night,†Grassley told reporters about the possibility of a second hearing.
The Iowa Republican said the hearing scheduled Thursday to hear from Kavanaugh's first accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, will continue as planned.
“The committee meeting is going to go ahead because I don’t feel that we should disadvantage Dr. Ford any more than she’s already being disadvantaged in the sense of people wondering whether the hearing was going to be last week or this week or whatever else,†Grassley said.
His comments came shortly after lawyer Michael Avenatti revealed allegations by Julie Swetnick, who alleged that Kavanaugh took part in multiple instances of sexual misconduct in the early 1980s. Her affidavit was signed under the penalty of perjury.
Grassley said that despite Avenatti’s presence, Swetnick’s allegations are the main focus of the committee as they review her claims.

If somebody is this careless, so many times ... at some point, it makes you wonder if the effect was the one he desired.

What a damn fool

I think Murkowsky or Susan Collins is probably pushing this. We can't confirm Kavenaugh without them.

You're right. They'll postpone the hearings and set another later date. Then a day or so before that hearing the Dems will produce another "victim" who will swear she saw Kavanaugh smash puppies and kittens while simultaneously raping a convent full of nuns.

It would be interesting to see the phone records for those two (especially).... to see if they've been in close contact with Schumer or other of the rats during this fiasco.

Sens. Feinstein and Murkoskwi have been huddling and whispering to each by the elevators in the basement of the Capitol for some time now
