Does this mean that Christine Blasey Ford will get her day in court if she wants one?
Senate Republicans made a counteroffer to Brett Kavanaugh's accuser Christine Blasey Ford early Friday afternoon.
Ford's lawyers have until 10 PM Friday to work out the terms for next week's hearing, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley said Friday evening.
Christine Ford was originally supposed to give her prepared testimony and biography to the Senate Judiciary committee by Friday 10 AM ET-they have extended the offer to 10 PM ET
Added (1). Senator Grassley said he is providing a notice to vote to occur Monday if Christine Ford does not respond by 10 PM ET tonight or if Ford decides not to testify.
Senator Grassley also denied the outlandish requests from the lunatic attorneys representing Christine Ford.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will NOT allow Christine Ford to speak first - that is not how the rule of law works.
Added (2). The Senate Judiciary Committee will NOT allow Christine Ford to stall the proceedings -she is only required to tell her 36-year-old story.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will NOT allow only senators to question Ford - a female staff attorney will be questioning Ford (this was a Democrat tactic to berate and harass white men in their campaign ads. Democrats are sick people.)
Trump wants to keep out Mexicans. Even Señor Wences.
It's not a court- he is not on trial for a criminal charge. It's a hearing where the Senators are supposed to be getting information to help them decide whether the candidate is qualified for the S. C. It's a job interview. It's very bizarre that you see having one women asking the questions in front of 11 white men as somehow "berating and harassing" the men!
*IF* she wants it. I don't know what her game has been or why she did this but the stall tactics, etc, but they connote anything but certainty
We'll see, won't we?
No, not really. If the state has enough evidence to get a conviction, they can press charges. If no, she could take her chances in civil court. Either way, Congress have no say.
You sound very hostile toward Ford. She is not testifying in a court of law. Also, what "rule of law" are you referencing? Is that the one that says witnesses can't be called to testify?
In any case, the committee extended their deadline to 2:30 PM today and Ford responded that she will testify next week.
I'm still not sure why the FBI shouldn't investigate this allegation. This is an extremely important lifetime appointment and there's no rush. This matter should be properly handled in order to clarify the situation as much as possible.
No her day in committee, it is not a court.
- Since Ford was helpless to use her brain to get the attention she wanted, isn't it great she can play dumb & say her body was used? To get a book that sells? "My only witness denies the event and I don't know anyone else that went to the party… And I don't know how I got home… I was such a loner that I had ZERO friends that noticed I was traumatized or that I could tell. I was drunk for 3 years and hated my parents but look at me now… I have authoritah!
- Does it seem that the day it was discovered what Feinstein or one democrat on her committee did to Ford, woke America up? In 45 or so days after she received the letter, either Feinstein or one dem on her side blew the anonymity of Ford's letter intentionally leaking it to the press - thus literally tossing Ford under the bus. Besides more than confirming that democrats could care less for anything other than power, is that enough to wake you up?
- Christine Blasey Ford says. She has no idea where, when ( not even a year ) but says her witnesses will back her up, now those 4 say? Sorry, Don't know here, never met her. Since grandstanding liberal politicians couldn't wait to get in front of the mic and say she's telling the truth and they believe her, will they now do the same to the witnesses she named who say "nope, never met her"?
- Blasey Ford if you go back and see her face when she first enters the courtroom tells you she is a liar.She is to damn happy.Right? Blasey Ford if you go back and see her face when she first enters the courtroom tells you she is a liar. She is to damn happy.Right?
