The list goes on and on and on and on.
Ahead of Thursday’s much-anticipated testimony by Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, of sexually harassing her in high school, new demands are reportedly being made for the hearing.

Previously, Ford issued a list of demands for her testimony through her attorney. These demands were mostly accepted, barring a few non-starters, such as the absurd request that Kavanaugh only testifies before her, and thus not get a chance to answer her charges. (RELATED: Senate Judiciary Committee Refuses to Accept Christine Blasey Ford’s Requests to Testify.)
And we just learned yesterday that Ford may not actually testify after all, as the latest letter from her attorney states that she is unhappy with the accommodations provided by the Senate Judiciary Committee and her depiction by other Senate Republicans. (Kavanaugh Accuser Christine Blasey Ford Indicates She May Not Testify After All.)
So, it all comes down to this Thursday’s testimony, where Ford’s recalcitrant attitude isn’t helping her case. Should Ford drop out at the last minute and not testify, you can bet that Senate Republicans will quickly confirm Kavanaugh.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. So what does Ford do? She makes even more demands! Now she is dictating the kind of press presence allowed in the room where she will be delivering her testimony.
The Washington Times reports:
Christine Blasey Ford’s lawyers have asked senators to limit the press who will be allowed in the room to cover Thursday’s hearing with her and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and sought to dictate at least some of the outlets.
Coverage is one of a number of issues Ms. Blasey Ford’s lawyers are negotiating with Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Michael Bromwich said in emails sent Tuesday afternoon that he was requesting access for three “robocams,” three specific wire services, photographers from the Associated Press, Reuters and one unspecified service, and a pool reporter for newspapers and magazines. In a follow-up email he specified that the robocams should be operated by “the CSPAN TV pool,” and said he also wanted space for a radio reporter.

Question: Where are all the journalists who break down in tears every time President Trump calls the media the “enemy of the people”? Shouldn’t they be decrying Ford’s blatant attempt to shield herself from media scrutiny? It seems like First Amendment suppression, if you ask me, which, of course, no j-school-trained, Twitter-verified journalist will.

In all seriousness, dictating the terms of press access to your own testimony is a daring move. It also shows that Ford is more interested in appearance than in substance. Who cares what outlet covers you when you’re speaking the truth?
It would seem that Ford is trying to dictate the form her story comes in. One would think the truth would suffice.

Oh, she is so ugly fiscally and inside that no man can even look at her.That is why her husband wanted to divorce her and since that time she is fantasize about sex -nobody wants to perform to her.
It’s obvious the little witch is seeking 14 minutes of fame, and probably is hoping for a book deal. She’s nothing but a gold digger hoping to cash in while destroying a great man’s life and reputation. I say charge her with defamation, slander, and anything else that can be dreamed up. Lock her up with Cosby!
The way I see it is if she is not willing to show up to testify on her own then the two options that should be considered are – 1- drop the investigation and get on with business or 2- have her charged with contempt and brought to the hearing in handcuffs and charged with slander.
Poor little Caliphony fruitcake. She was mentally abused as an infant and never matured beyond the age of a kindergartener. Little Miss Twit, may I make a suggestion? Take your binky and shove it up your . . . . .
I think its getting boring anyone can tell is just she said and he cant remember there was no rape so what is incident all about , I think sexual assault is serious so far I haven’t a clue what the judge was supposed to have done
Move up the hearing for CFB with CRS and then Confirm Kavanaugh, then the DIMMs can spend a pot load of their ill gotten loot trying to impeach him…..sublime, absurd and ridiculous……Delusional, Insidious, Mean Mouthed suckers………………..
WHO DIED AND PUT HER IN CHARGE… HER DEMANDS ARE INSANE….TYPICAL LUNATIC LIBERAL… Seems obvious she don’t want too many out there reporting her lies… this entire mess just reeks of fraud… when she is finished, she will walk away back to her life and Kavanaugh’s name and reputation will be left in shreds… the democRATS and the lunatic liberals have already made up their minds that Kavanuagh is guilty.. WHEN did we start telling the accused that they are guilty and now must prove themselves innocent… HEAVEN HELP THIS COUNTRY… the demented democRATS are taking this country down a very dangerous path….
Who the Foxtrot does this LIAR believe she is Barry obama? does she want to change the color of the Red carpet too?
They will eat her lunch. This will make Soros and the DemComs even madder then are now.
Fox News broadcast it throughout the world. Judge Janine Pirro to ask all questions.

4. Sit down.
5. Judge Kavanaugh follows with same requirements.

VOTE RED NOV 2018 RED RED…IF
it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today including Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place. CLAPPER’S OWN CONFESSION
AMERICANS WE HAVE TO TAKE BACK OUR AMERICA FROM THE EVIL CRIMINAL ACTS OF DEMOCRATS………………………..TO SOLVE AMERICAS PROBLEMS MAKE THIS CHOICE WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND OUR VOTES, TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING,CORRUPT, TREASONOUS DEMOCRAT PARTY COME NOV 2018, VOTE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL CORRUPTIONS IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT
The way I see all of this now since the new demands of Dr. Ford and her attorney’s is just another bunch of added demands to further try and tie up the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh. Now all of a sudden we have 4 eye witnesses against Judge Kavanaugh. Where did they suddenly come from? Lying while under oath to the Congress members can bring a pretty steep jail term if convicted.. Judge Kavanaugh should be able to come back on these people if found to be lying while under oath with law suits as well.
Big problem I see with her so-called witnesses.. they were NOT there… they ONLY know what she told them Years later… That to me isn’t an eye-witness and their statements should be tossed out into the garbage
I’m appalled how low these demented democRATS will stoop to destroy Kavanaugh… HEAVEN HELP OUR COUNTRY… THE DEMENTED DEMOCRATS ARE TAKING US DOWN A VERY DANGEROUS PATH… Telling people Kavanaugh is guilty without EVER seeing proof of it… Since when is a person guilty until they prove themselves innocent.
i would tell these people absolutely not, we are not going to have no 3 ring liberal circus. when this is all over Kavanaugh should sue her and the democratic party and all democratic senators involved in this atrocity.
absofukinlutely
This shows the absolute audacity of the socialist left. Not only are they perpetrating a lie but trying to manipulate how the information is disseminated to the public. There’s no limit to their maddening and presumptuous attitude toward the political assassinations of their opposition. This is tantamount to the “minister of information” of a dystopian state. We’re coming full circle to enslaving ourselves.
I’m pretty much done with this witch hunt that wants to condemn an innocent man! Now there’s a THIRD accuser coming forward? Confirm Kavanaugh. This side show is finished!
Per an article in The Federalist, by employment lawyer Adam Mill…
Top ten reasons to doubt an accuser:
1. The accuser uses the press instead of the process.
2. The accuser times releasing the accusation for an advantage.
3. The accuser attacks the process instead of participating.
4. When the accused’s opportunity to mount a defense is delegitimized.
5. The accuser seeks to force the accused to defend himself or herself before committing to a final version.
6. The accused makes a strong and unequivocal denial.
7. The accuser makes unusual demands to modify or control the process.
8. When the accuser’s ability to identify the accused has not been properly explained..
9. When witnesses don’t corroborate.
10. When corroborating witnesses simply repeat the accusation of the accuser but don’t have fresh information.
A hundred bucks says this lying heifer won’t show up.
I won’t bet against you because I’ve been saying she won’t show from the get-go.
That’s it, I want to hear her accounts and charges against Judge Kavanaugh. However, she has made this difficult by ill-advised antics. She is losing credibility.
To quote Bugs Bunny….. “What a Ta-ra-ra-Goon-de-a”…..
I hope that some (a FEW!) Congresscritters discover their own backbones and TOSS this moron out.
First of all, they should not have given in to her demands. She made the accusations and she should stand behind them. She should go first and tell her story and then the accused should have the right to defend himself. Any lawyer worth their grain of salt would understand that principle. That is precedence for an accuser to go first and present their case. The Dems should be afraid of themselves. Independents should be ashamed of themselves also for keeping quiet. Republicans best get on board and voice your discontent to this form of craziness.
Screw her and the demo-horse she rode in on. Confirm Kavanaugh and charge her for false official statements and every other charge that can be made to stick.
So, where the hell is she now? I thought she was driving to DC. Or, if flying, is she still in California? Want to bet that she never shows up and claims all sorts of bogus reasons why. Friday is confirmation day, one way or the other. Nuclear Option. And, if Rinos don’t allow confirmation then the president should invoke his Recess Appointment authority on Friday which would put Kavanaugh on the bench for up to 2 years. During that time frame, and after the midterms, he could have Kavanaugh confirmed through the normal Senate process.
Legal Definition of recess appointment
: a presidential appointment made under the executive’s power to fill vacancies when the Senate is not in session subject to later confirmation by the Senate.
Now comes these demands and I hope the committee is not going to allow this. She is testing them to see just how much they want to here from her. Well, my vote is no go. She and her attorney better be ready to walk cause these demands show that she is not serious about her testimony and so let her just not no show. Lets just stop this dog and pony show and tell her its all over if she is not seated Thursday morning at 10AM she will be considered a no show. Then just cast a vote. She is a flake and at the risk of repeating myself she will be on the road and no one can find her to serve her. Time is up then and we can move on to the vote..
Judge Kavanaugh has had six (6) background checks. Dr Ford has had none (0). Plus she deleted ALL her social media account in August. That is before her name went public. Why? And why was she wearing a BATHING SUIT?
How do we know if she even wrote the letter?
I will bet money that after the vote on Friday, if not sooner, she will be on every talk show and fake news outlet spouting her story.. Any takers?
Enough of the games. Sen. Grassley should be setting the rules, and if Ford and her attorneys don’t like it, they should retract their statements and go back under their respective rocks. To all you democrat voters out there, it is high time that you clean house and put some decent people into office who can follow the laws of our great country. Keep in mind that until you do get these miscreants out of office you are viewed as part of “them”. Stand up for what is right an decent – we need a second party, not a circus.
Decent and Democrat is an oxymoron.
Ford is on very this ice – if she testifies under oath and cannot prove her case she can be charged with perjury – slander and possibly obstruction. Feinstein should be charged with obstruction immediately for her phony shenanigans. From the beginning Ford has either lied or misled – when the reports of her therapist notes were released and the therapist noted that Ford had stated there were “4 boys” there – FODR & HER HUSBAND (who was NOT there?) jumped up and said the therapist was wrong – she had said that there were only “2 boys” there. Then she went on to name “3 boys” and conveniently cannot remember the “4th boy” or this boys address where the supposed p[arty took place.She had also told her therapist that ” al 4 boys ‘ went on to be very powerful men in D.C. Odd that she cannot remember the name of someone so powerful – could it be that the ” 4th boy ” – if he really does exist – is a powerful Democrat?
Her so-called demands are just a attempt to keep her away from being sued for defamation of character and lying to Congress. There can be no question she is lying and has made this whole thing up. A FBI investigation does need to be done, investigating her and who ever had paid her or made promises to her for these lies. No doubt this is just another example of a witch hunt like the phony Russian collusion.
She is a phony. Would we be allowed to make these demands if we were dragged into court. The reason she does not even remember and cannot be specific is because they don’t want him to have an alibi. CONFIRM HIM.
Non-Left leaning press need not apply. She’s really padding her fall big time. Tell her to pi$$ up a rope and get on with the confirmation.
The form her story takes is dependent upon her, not upon the news outlets. We already know she is NOT truthful and to expect the truth from her is ludicrous. Brett Kavanaugh has been exposed to ALL the media without any culling out of any of them. This is an open, transparent hearing. She should not get special consideration. The FBI, CIA, DOJ have all been exposed to the press/fake news and she should not get an exception. Her testimony and all of this posturing of the DemonRats has been a total waste of the Senate’s time and has only succeeded in delaying the confirmation of a Constitutional, Conservative Justice who is an honest and truthful man and did not deserved to have his good name and his family assailed by the likes of this bimbo.
Really??? Enough the vote should be taken without her testimony. This is a ridiculous drain on a good person. I pray the Republicans do the right thing, esp. Murkowski.
I think it is well past time for this charade to be over. She cannot dictate and while she is doing just that, just think of the message she is sending me and the precedent being set. Ludicrous.
