    Default When did this new standard occur

    We are being told now that Professor Ford the No Show Ho will not testify before the Senate BEFORE the FBI concludes it investigation.

    Is this the new standard now for anyone being called to testify in front of Congress? Can they demand a full investigation by the FBI before they testify? Should Donald Trump Jr not have testified in front of the Senate?


    Just want to make sure that this is the standard liberals now want to put forward. You know because they claim they will take back the House of Representatives and promise to launch investigation after investigation into the Trump administration. My guess is that anyone they want to call to testify can just demand a full and complete investigation by the FBI before they testify right?

    think carefully

    You should be thrilled that this woman may choose not to testify. No matter what happens the Republican Party is la loser.

    That seems to be the narrative that the democrats always come up with. No matter what happens, your side wins and the GOP loses


    If she testifies then the GOP loses

    If she doesn't testify the GOP loses

    So walk through this. If I am in a lose/lose situation politically, I might as well go ahead and confirm him and say fuck it. Right?

    Then you guys should be thrilled beyond belief. You should be tickled pink.

    Why argue for Grassley to hold up the vote? You should be encouraging him to move forward.

    Oh, but you still didn't answer my original question. Is it now the standard that anyone being asked to testify before Congress can demand an investigation by the FBI as a predicate to testifying? And if they don't get those demands they can refuse?

    The Republicans can be stupid at times but not this stupid. If they delayed this charge that the accuser brought and bowed to her demands the Democrats would just bring out another paid accuser and try the same thing. Who the fuck cares that a kid in high school copped a feel and tried to get a little. All we have is her word she wasn't willing. Time for the BS flag. That doesn't make him a good choice. His only sin is he is a conservative.

    A while now, but until last week the author of the info was unknown. Remember all the whining about "fake news" when the NYT published the anonymous op-ed about the chaos in the White House? Think that might have had something to do with the (D)s not releasing the letter right away? Oh silly me. I assumed that you can think. Oops.

    BTW, apparently the (R)s had the same info and said nothing. I'm pretty sure it didn't take Grassley five hours to come up with a letter of him-so-nice with 65 women's names on it who allegedly knew Kavanaugh 30+ years ago. How come you guys aren't twisting your Depends about that?

    Ford no doubt had "some" kind of episode with guys 36 years ago.
    Maybe Dems want to find some other women out there just looking for a pay day who will say THEY were attacked by Kav.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Assumption ,that's why the FBI needs to investigate,just like the Republicans insisted upon with Anita Hill.
