Graham is upset and fussing about how Feinstein delayed in turning this information over.

Unbelievable.

Republicans are still blocking Kavanaugh's Bush-era documents and he's complaining about a delay of a few weeks.

There is no limit to how low you'll go.

Dr. Ford was 15 at the time, a sophomore in high school. She described it as a gathering of 6 people.

Part of Ford's story was that Mark Judge was in the room and that she made eye contact with him when Kavanaugh was on top of her doing the assault--she said she thought/hoped that he might intervene

Mark Judge jumped on the bed twice while Kaanaugh was on her and that the second time his jump knocked Ford and Kavanaugh off the bed---freeing Ford from his body's weight--so she could get up and out of the room

I am really wondering if Mark Judge did that as a non-verbal, non-confrontational way to stop Kavanaugh from continuing
Maybe he was not the kind of person who would interfere with Kavanaugh's purpose by saying "Hey, Brett--knock it off--she isn't into this"
But he might try to stop it w/o having to confront Kavanaugh if he was the weaker player in the hunter seeker pair...

She said that she say Judge a few weeks later at the Safeway and he looked like he wanted to avoid her eyes...
Maybe that is why he doesn't want to really be interviewed because would mean choosing between his best bud and confessing to something he is ashamed of
His girlfriend said he confessed to doing something similar when he was in prep school...

Graham's comments are very impactful, summarizing it for the American people nicely.

or he honestly doesn't remember -- he was a blackout drunk -- by his own admission ---

Fords story was all over the place. Mitchell could have savaged Ford and she did not. I wouldn't say this was uneventful, but it wasn't earth shattering either. It bothers me that she left her friend behind with 2 boys that just assaulted her and Leland didn't even wonder what happened to her. We have numerous sworn statements that no one who attended the gathering recalls the gathering or an event as Ford has described. I believe something happened to her but not the way Ford remembers. One think Mitchell did was she was able to establish a timeline of events and gatherings that Ford, Judge, Leland and Kavanagh attended that nothing nefarious ever happened prior or after the alleged assault. Whatever happened to her it most likely wasn't Kavanagh. However, the stench of this is horrible and it will stick to Ford and Kavanagh forever. I am not 100% comfortable with moving forward on Kavanagh's nomination but at this point, it's to close to the mid-terms to slow it down or stop it.

Frankly, I would want to see the other people who were at the party testify.

She provided no corroborating evidence, except for the three witnesses that she named, all of who have stated that they attended no such party, which refutes her story. That is literally all the corroborating evidence that there is.
You were arrogantly wrong about that, lol-ing all over the place that anyone would stupidly think she would testify. Maybe have a little humility and stop, admit there is something here.

No not for the American people.

For the American people who support Trump and Kavanaugh.

Stop it -- neither party is winning with this mess.

Democrats think somehow this is a big win for them -- Republicans think it is a big win for them.

It's a big fat ugly mess.
