First, Democrats sat on the letter from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford until after the hearings to ensure maximum media impact, and a circumvention of process and Senate norms, and a delay of a vote.
Ford, in a letter to Senate Judiciary chairman, now demands an investigation take place before any hearing commences.
The liberal push-back on this contention has been to argue that FBI has the purview to include these allegations in a broader background check, and that no one is asking for a "Criminal probe." Well, the Ford letter specifically demands "a full investigation by law enforcement officials" into "The incident"-not a background check.
Hirono, perhaps jumping the gun to the next phase of delay, is already arguing that the very act of asking Ford to appear is "Appalling" that Republicans are "Re-victimizing" Ford by conceding to allow her to testify, at all.
Has any Republican claimed to have made up their minds about Ford's accusations? Perhaps they did and I missed it.
What is inarguable is that a number of Democrats on the judiciary committee-including Hirono, Kamala Harris, and Richard Blumenthal-have gone on the record and stated that they believe Ford's allegation, which is to say, they believe Kavanaugh attempted to rape a 15-year-old girl.
Since Kavanaugh has already been smeared as a sexual predator by Democrats, what's the purpose of an investigation-other than a transparent attempt at delaying the vote? Now, perhaps circumstances change if Ford shows up on Monday and offers new evidence or some other compelling information.
