(Quit stalling, Repukes. Make it Monday or the hell with the bitch. I am so sick of this clown show.)

The woman who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault told the Senate Judiciary Committee that she “would be prepared to testify next week” if senators offer “terms that are fair and which ensure her safety,” her lawyer told committee staffers in an email.

In the email, a lawyer for Christine Blasey Ford said that testifying Monday — the timetable Republicans have set for a hearing — “is not possible and the Committee’s insistence that it occur then is arbitrary in any event,” according to the New York Times, which obtained a copy of the email.

The lawyer, Debra Katz, said it was Ford’s “strong preference” that “a full investigation” occur before her testimony, but did not repeat earlier demands for an FBI probe, which GOP senators and President Trump opposed.

“As you are aware, she has been receiving death threats, which have been reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and she and her family have been forced out of their home,” Katz wrote in the email.

“She wishes to testify, provided that we can agree on terms that are fair and which ensure her safety.”

Meanwhile, CNN reported that committee Chairman Chuck Grassley’s deadline of 10 a.m. Friday for Ford to respond to his invitation to testify Monday was flexible.

Ford, a California college professor, accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a high school drinking party in suburban Maryland in the 1980s.

Kavanaugh, Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, has vigorously denied the charge.
