Of course I know that ..... but I'm also aware that the "rock pile" is not the only reader here.
Normal People (and there are many) understand the "rock pile" that are seemly incapable of Logic.
Have you figured out yet how Dr Ford is getting all these "death threats" when her entire online presence and biography was COMPLETELY SCRUBBED from the internet before she even made her accusations???????
Even the Media could not find any information about her ... where she lived, her background.
They had to resort to attempting to find her at the University ....... because she was so well hidden.
And yet ....... all the "death threats" (as reported by ONLY her and HER Lawyers).
How do you suppose that happened?????????
It must have been that "vast right-wing conspiracy."
I was so furious and frustrated that she wasn't properly heeded, but at least she made a lasting impression that, like Anita Hill, helps us in the long run.
(By the way, I don't know what truly happened with the supposed offer to meet privately with the committee, even in California, but I've wondered if she was smart enough to know that her only safety lay in public hearings. If she'd met with them privately, they would have ensured that she was never widely heard.)

There never was an offer to meet privately with the committee.
What Grassley offered was to send staffers to California to meet with her.
Ford refused. She wanted to meet directly with the Senators, not their assistants.
Two of her attorneys were interviewed on by Dana Bash after the hearings. Both stated the Committee NEVER offered to meet privately with her.
Quote:
"We, as her counsel, informed her of all options made available to us by the committee. We showed her all of the correspondence," Bank said. "
"And what they were offering was sending staffers to speak to her. Dr. Ford wanted to speak to the committee members herself.
And I think what you saw in the hearing was that Dr. Ford got a little confused and thought Sen. Grassley was suggesting that he himself would have come to California, which is not what he offered at all."

Privately or not, who cares? They were willing to have her communicate directly to their office, which is the same thing every citizen that wants to communicate with their "representative" is offered. No Congress members respond directly to constituents. They will not talk to you on the phone, they will not respond to your email, and they will not be in if you ever attempt to visit them at their office. You cannot, will not see your congress member except at a public function, as a member of a crowd or audience at some event the member is attending.
This entitled woman demanded a personal audience with busy members of Congress, none of whom were even HER representative. Who the hell does she think she is?
Well, we know who she is. An entitled elite left coast Democrat agitator and donor.
