        Grassley responded to her request for an FBI investigation as a first step, saying that the agency already completed a background check of Kavanaugh and it is now the Senate’s job to address any new issues.

        He offered to dispatch committee investigators to interview Ford “at a time and place convenient to her.” Grassley reiterated the committee’s offer to allow Ford to testify in a closed session.

        I find it interesting that two people who are under extreme pressure are reduced to One who is an " exemplary " person . And the other ?? Oh well she's only a woman , we can proceed without her. Same old same old.

        Grassley is full of it. If the White House would request it, the FBI would investigate these new allegations. Grassley wants to PREVENT any new facts from being introduced to keep it a he said/she said.

        What part of, DOJ  says the sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh "does not involve any potential federal crime" for the FBI to investigate, don't you understand.

        The FBI does background checks. They do them in response to a requesting agency. For Supreme Court nominees, that is the WH. The FBI can't start an investigation independent of that request without a potential federal crime. They can if the WH requests additional BG check.

        Know what though? Dr. Ford doesn’t have to do what they say. Women are done playing this ridiculous game. We’re just done.

        Everyone who has ever been assaulted/raped/molested it’s understandable to have reservations on speaking out. If you can please do speak up but we can also have a voice via a #VOTE. Every little step counts toward the finish line! #BlueWave Love and Strength to you all

        So she wasn’t assaulted like the kids in the church, the actors with Harvey, the co workers of Lauer or O’Reilly. I can keep going. So why is it the norm is to support the accused when they are more often than not proven guilty. It’s a tactic to keep other victims from speaking

        Rep senators, those sworn to uphold Constitution, are giving her 6 days to prepare to sit next to her attacker & publicly testify, because of a fake timeline? Are they still asking for other people to question her cause they don want to look bad. Yes, they do suck that much!

        Judiciary Chair @ChuckGrassley is refusing to push back Thursday's vote on Brett Kavanaugh, as the GOP complains about the "timing" of the claims against him. Here's what Grassley said to Anita Hill about 11th-hour allegations back in 1991. (h/t @rtraister, @jimmymcnamara) pic.twitter.com/1KnfVeMMYI

        Infuriating! One would think that the #SCOTUS seat would be taken more serious. That an investigation would transpire to ensure the best possible candidate is seated in the highest seat in our courts. This is not Justice this is BS!
