Too many unanswered questions. Sen Feinstein gave Prof Ford's letter with concerns about Brett Kavanaugh's character to the FBI last June... -what did the FBI do with the letter from Sen Feinstein? -did the FBI inform Trump there was a problem in Kavanaugh's background? -did Trump ignore the FBI because he doesn't like the FBI, and just plowed ahead with the Federalist Society's candidate?
Jamming Brett Kavanaugh's SC appointment through is coming back to bite the GOP...
BOREALIS, latest Gallup has Trump at 38% approval so it looks basically only his bigoted, don't give a shit about Trump's fascist-like nature, cult core are happy with the idea of Kavanaugh being on the Supreme Court.
"36 percent of adults surveyed did not want Kavanaugh in the Supreme Court"
Yet it appears at the moment the Dems. may need to press even harder if they want to keep Kavanaugh out.

DRIVING THE DAY
ALL OF A SUDDEN, out of seemingly nowhere, it seems like Republicans are gently steering BRETT KAVANAUGH’S Supreme Court nomination back on track.
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS are at a stalemate. Senate Republicans offered Christine Blasey Ford the chance to testify publicly or privately, but her lawyer said that first the FBI should investigate the three-decade-old sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh.
FORD’S ATTORNEY SENT THIS LETTER TO THE COMMITTEE … “In the 36 hours since her name became public, Dr. Ford has received a stunning amount of support from her community and from fellow citizens across our country.
“At the same time, however, her worst fears have materialized. She has been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats. As a result of these kind of threats, her family was forced to relocate out of their home. Her email has been hacked, and she has been impersonated online.
“While Dr. Ford’s life was being turned upside down, you and your staff scheduled a public hearing for her to testify at the same table as Judge Kavanaugh in front of two dozen U.S. Senators on national television to relive this traumatic and harrowing incident. The hearing was scheduled for six short days from today and would include interrogation by Senators who appear to have made up their minds that she is ‘mistaken’ and ‘mixed up.’ While no sexual assault survivor should be subjected to such an ordeal, Dr. Ford wants to cooperate with the Committee and with law enforcement officials.” The letter .. https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2018-09-18%20Blasey%20Ford%20to%20Grassley%20(Kavanaugh%20Allegations).pdf
SENATE JUDICIARY CHAIRMAN CHUCK GRASSLEY (R-IOWA) is going to push ahead with a vote next week if Ford does not testify Monday. He said last night: “Immediately after learning of Dr. Ford’s identity from news reports Sunday, committee staff started working to gather facts related to her claims. We’ve offered Dr. Ford the opportunity to share her story with the committee, as her attorney said yesterday she was willing to do. https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2018/09/19/gop-pushing-kavanaugh-nom-back-on-track-308105
Looks, though it's extremely unfair to ask it of her under the circumstances, Ford may possibly have to testify if she wants to take it to the wire.
