I fear she may change her various recollections under oath.

Give it a rest. Just because an 85 year old Senator thinks that her attorney hasn't responded to a couple recent phone calls made hours earlier doesn't mean she isn't responding.

In the meantime, Susan Collins has already proposed a format that's completely different than what Grassley outlined, so it's not surprising that her attorney is being deliberate. Note that she's a private citizen on a different coast who's being asked to provide a public victims account on national TV... I don't think it's unusual to take some before agreeing to logistical details. Most depositions I'm involved with take months to schedule, and her appearance is requested in 5 business days.

You obviously have an agenda. Drop it and let the process work.

She could request a closed-door hearing then, if that is her concern.

Umm, she hasn't had "various recollections". I know that's not what you want to hear. Sorry.

Unlike the other 85 year old Senator who knew these allegations for around six weeks and interviewed the "assailant" and never even asked him about it.

Fascinating.

Huh? That would defeat the purpose of her letter.

Great, have the White House ask the FBI for investiage everyone involved and the actual incident. You won’t find a single democrat opposed to that.

Okay. Do a background check on her and interview Kavanaugh and Ford. Also, interview Judge.

She doesn't know who else was there--according to reports. She doesn't know where it was. She doesn't even know what year it was--whether she was a sophomore, or whatever.

She said she told no one.

Good luck with your investigation.

She sure did smear the guy with all of her confusion. I think she had a bad therapist.

She know the general area it was, she knows the time of year, she has identified others there. Her story has been consistent for more than a decade.

He has changed his story entirely today from yesterday. There’s your liar.

Who were her girlfriends there?

Therapist notes said four boys attacked her. Ford says mistake in therapist notes--it was two boys and four was the number of people at the party. So a possible explanation is that the party was four boys and her with no other girls.

OMG. She clearly confused. I feel badly for her. Does she have children?

She said there were four boys were at the party, two in the room. She believes her therapist transcribed wrong. Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/california-professor-writer-of-confidential-brett-kavanaugh-letter-speaks-out-about-her-allegation-of-sexual-assault/2018/09/16/46982194-b846-11e8-94eb-3bd52dfe917b_story.html

So her therapist is also confused. Lovely.

Therapist here. It’s vastly more plausible that the therapist wrote 4 instead of 2 or was condensing the story and got that wrong than that Christine Ford has been telling people a lie for years about being assaulted by a man who went on to become a federal judge.

+1. As a therapist, you do your notes between sessions or at the end of the day--it's possible Dr. Blasey's therapist may have inadvertently got a detail wrong.

Especially given that the particular detail in question isn't relevant to the purpose for which the notes are being taken, which is to keep a file that's used in follow-up sessions. (In other words, the account of the incident is important, but whether there were 2 or 4 boys in the house isn't going to matter in terms of what the therapist discusses with her in future sessions. Remember that these notes are not being taken for law enforcement purposes.)

I think it was in the WaPo article, but saw that she was coming out now because she felt "guilty." I cannot stop thinking about how tortured she is about this. If she didn't say anything she would feel guilty about it forever (because he would be nominated and she hadn't revealed the assault).

Who cares whether Feinstein asked him it. Irrelevant. Go back to your yardwork and let the real lawyers weigh in.

It’s absolutely relevant. She sat on this information for months, and now wants a full blown FBI investigation.
Tell me she isn’t trying to delay. It won’t work.

So strange that there are one or two posters using the exact same rhetoric as Grassley and Hatch at almost the exact same time. Almost as if a Republican staffer has been charged with disseminating propaganda on the internet.

If what is her concern? You're incoherently babbling now.

When lawyers set up testimony under oath that involves taking leave from work, travelling by air for 5 hours and getting local accommodations, they don't just schedule everything an hour after they get a phone call from Chuck Grassley's office. That doesn't mean that she isn't willing/planning to testify.

Purpose of her letter? You mean - to delay and derail this nominee’s appointment. Yep.

Indeed, that was her purpose. To publicly show his character. Not to do it in a closed-door hearing.

I have been rebutting a lot of the crap written on here.... so you are probably talking about me, for one.
I can assure you that I am not a Republican staffer and I actually live no where near DC.

She referred it to the FBI when she first found out. That's how Ms Ford's privacy began to unravel and resulted in her coming forward. In the meantime, Ms. Feinstein respected her wishes and didn't raise the matter publicly. Would you rather she had made allegations weeks or months ago with no witness attached?

The fact that the republicans are absolutely terrified of even the most basic of investigations, i.e., calling additional witnesses, makes abundant clear they know Kavanaugh did it.

BTW, don’t worry about delay, Trump told us that just yesterday.
