She won't testify before congress because she's smart enough to not lie to congress.

Several GOP Senators who were learning toward the idea of further investigation, like Flake of AZ, are now saying that if she does not testify on Monday, the confirmation process should resume as planned.

They have absolutely no choice now, confirm Judge Brett Kavenaugh or face huge losses in the Senate. Chairman Grassley is the last one they should have tried to screw with, Senator Dianne Feinstein has made a grave miscalculation as this shoddy political move against the character of Judge Brett Kavenaugh. This will stick to three people forever, or until the truth is unmasked. That is why I use the word grave, this is going to blow up big time politically.

Rumors and hints on Twitter that Ms Ford has made a grave error.

This may be a case of mistaken identity........the real person involved may come forward.


I don’t buy it. Why would he come forward? Nothing to gain.....

... and dims hoping they can win control of Congress, so can delay vote until after 2020 elections (assuming Ruth can stay alive that long).

... Ford just wants FBI to investigate Kavenaugh, not question her. Someone must of forgot to tell her they already investigated him 6 times.

I agree with you, but I can't avoid the headlines and news...personal fault on my part.


I have come to the conclusion that even if her allegations are true, there is no way that she prove them after 36 years. I've seen the details and don't need to repeat them. From my point of view the score is 3 - 1 against her claims.


I doubt she shows up on Monday, 6-1 odds against.


She made the claim and she wanted anonymity. I don't get that part of it.

The FBI does a few types of investigations. When a nominee for various offices is investigated, it is called a background investigation. It is not a criminal investigation. It has been done 100's of times. The most relevant is what happened at the Clarence Thomas hearings.

The regular background investigation had been done, and Anita Hill allegations of which she was reluctant to come forward was leaked to NPR's Nina Totenberg who contacted Joe Biden the Judiciary committee chairman,with Hill's permission, and he and the ranking member contacted George H.W Bush's and he ordered WH house council, to tell the FBI to reopen the background investigation to include Hill's new allegations.

Her real problem is she will not agree to be sworn under oath, this is falling apart for Senator Dianne Feinstein. Chairman Grassley has requested the origonal letter containing the allegations, Senator Dianne Feinstein is refusing to surrender it.
