In the Republican senatorial loathesomeness department, it’s hard to beat Grassley (though Orrin Hatch always comes close).
Maybe after you get Mitch to delay the vote and release the other 100,000 of Kavanaugh’s Bush administration documents, and have the FBI conduct a real supplemental investigation.
Until then … Fuck You.
Still trying to distract from Kavanaugh’s crimes and lying by blaming the brave victims. You are a true asshole, and so are all of your Republican buddies.
Waiting for Grassley to request all communications between Kavanaugh and potential witnesses to the incident with Ms. Ramirez from as early as July…
Still waiting…
Still waiting…
Grassley:
In addition to the evidence I requested in my October 2 letter, in light of recently uncovered information, please turn over records and descriptions of direct or indirect communications between Dr. Ford or her representatives and any of of the following: (1) U.S. Senators or their staffs, particularly the offices of Senators Feinstein and Hirono… (2) the alleged witnesses identified by Dr. Ford (Leland Keyser, Mark Judge, and Patrick ‘P.J.’ Smyth); and (3) Debbie Ramirez, Julie Swetnick, or their representatives
WTF… your sham investigation is over right? OR do you just need all this information to comb through to see if there are any additional rat fucking opportunities?
Have you demanded to see Barf’s list of how often he visits the liquor store and how much he comes away with? There must be cameras to support this evidence.
Wichhunt ! (Does this mean Grassley knows he lost ?)
Eek!
Republican cruelty - it’s a feature, not a bug.
I’ve loathed Hatch forever. He can’t be gone soon enough.
So what is the purpose here? Is it to tie up loose ends after the confirmation, so that Graham’s and Kavanaugh’s accusations of a conspiracy can be defended? Maybe Chuck just wants to prove how comprehensive his “investigation” was? The most obvious explanation is an attempt to smear Finestein, Hirono, and Blasey Ford without ever having to prove that smear. BUT, would an aw shucks farm boy from Iowa stoop that low? You bet your bippy he would. In a New York minute or an Iowa second.
When the Salt Lake Tribune goes after Hatch on women’s issues, that’s definitely worthy of note. Hatch showed his true colors again when he refused to speak with a group of women and instead fluttered his fingers at them in a dismissive gesture from behind the cover of his security detail. What a little little man in every sense, including a completely shrunken sense of decency.
And so the slide into true fascism continues.
Republicans could just skip all the foreplay and demand Ford be indicted, tried and jailed. Cut to the chase.
Take her to court, let’s see what that will unleash.
You could have had the FBI do this, but?
Give them a few hours.
Grassely is continuing to act like he is sole judge and investigator. Why not then ask the FBI to do the footwork? Because there are procedures and rules in doing an investigation. This way though, he controls the horizontal and vertical.
If there is one thing the Republicans are avid about is controlling information.
Morman, women should sit down and shut up.
Using his power against her, and against Feinstein, and anyone who opposes the regime. But in addition to the cruel authoritarianism, I’ll bet he also believes there might in fact be some stupid conspiracy, because that’s how these people think. They’re just as stupid as they are cruel. If we don’t stop this at the polls we’re in for a very hard time.
I think they’d prefer just jailed, without all that messy legal stuff beforehand.
Bottom line the Good Old White Boy Network wants to send the message loud and clear women need to just lay back and take it and keep their damned mouths shut.
I thought the Judiciary Committee investigation was closed. They voted. They had all the information they needed to make their decision. I call “time limit” on this request.
