It's unfair to him to demand he speak on an issue that could be 100% fabricated. It's all conjecture and it was purposefully mishandled by the dems. This is over. There's no reason to believe her. The Rs can't say Ford is credible enough to call before the Senate and give her testimony about a sexual assault (which they did when they allowed this)...and then refuse to question the eyewitness. The Rs gave in and allowed this to happen. I don't see how they can proceed without doing some follow-up. Mitchell didn't produce DR's Twitter buddy's Gorsuch letter that he thinks is 50-50 true, and without a torpedo of that magnitude, they need to follow-up on what they heard.

Yes they can. They can because she has produced no evidence and the eyewitnesses that she maintains were there categorically deny it. All of them. This hearing is to determine the validity of her claims. It didn't happen. It's over. The problem is that it wont be over, we all know that.

She is at most, someone who was sexually assaulted and who had an attempted rape happen to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was believable as a witness to her account of an incident that has no corroboration or definitive evidence that it even happened. I can give you a credible account of the time I was elected president, but unless i prove evidence of it it isn't worth anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/27/ford-kavanaugh-white-house-reaction-849231 Quote White House officials were glued to their television screens throughout the building on Wednesday, watching the emotional testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee — and cringing over the decision by Senate Republicans to hire a female prosecutor to question her. “That’s a disaster,” said one administration official. The official argued that Republican lawmakers had made a mistake by caving to the pressures of identity politics and hiring a woman to quiz Ford so as to avoid having an all-white male lineup of GOP Senators do the questioning. Trump allies also recognized the bad optics of a prosecutor seeming to interrogate a victim widely seen as sympathetic in a nationally-televised Senate hearing.

Tiberius Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Quote But it was veteran news host Chris Wallace who dropped the hammer the hardest. “This was extremely emotional, extremely raw and extremely credible," he said. "Nobody could listen to her deliver those words and talk about the assault and the impact it had on her life and not have your heart go out to her.” “This is a disaster for Republicans,” Wallace said, referring to the format and sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell’s questioning. He later added, “The Democrats are landing haymakers.” https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/27/trump-kavanaugh-ford-hearing-fox-news-847899 Just now, PearlHowardman said: Ford sounded confused too much of the time.

Magox Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Ford came off as credible even though there were quite a few inconsistencies and very little if any corroborating evidence to support her case. But that most likely wont matter. Flake, Murkowski and Collins will very likely not vote for Kavanaugh unless he can put in a stellar performance, in which to be honest with you, I dont think he has it in him like Clarence Thomas. That's unfortunate, because it appears performances are more important than actual evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
