Grassley's committee is shameless

Responding on Twitter to Democratic criticism, the Republican-led Judiciary Committee defended Grassley's approach and described how its staff members have contacted four people alleged to have been present at the house where the alleged incident occurred.

One of the four has yet to be publicly identified. Two others have said they have no recollection of any incident like the one Ford described.

1) And the fourth?
2) What was the position of the unidentified person?
3) Are the two who have no recollection of any incident Kavanaugh and Judge? If not, where were they at this party? They at least would seem to verify that the party occurred.  Maybe they know where.  That's a start for the FBI.

This is pathetic.

According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one in three women in the United States experience some form of sexual violence in their lives.

One in three.



Period.

Now watch this

Period.

Watch this

Watch

(Whoever that woman is needs to learn how to listen. 
Or to recognize when something is important enough to shut up.)

Kavanaugh's Alleged Victim Opens Negotiations on Testimony Next Week

I admit I never even thought of that. It's so true that subtle differences paint a story, even if it's painted in your subconscious.
