      Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blasted Senate Democrats for what he called a “smear campaign” launched at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and vowed the full Senate would vote on his nomination “in the near future.”https://n.pr/2zqx1yd

      A visibly angry McConnell launched a tirade on the Senate floor directed at Democrats, whose behavior he called “despicable.”

      McConnell maintained the Democrats leaked information about an alleged sexual misconduct incident to The New Yorker instead of reporting any claims to the Senate Judiciary Committee.https://bit.ly/2Q1nkvT

      The committee is already conducting a probe on an allegation from a woman that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in the 1980s.

      McConnell said that other witnesses contacted by Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley have not corroborated the story of Christine Blasey Ford, who will testify along with Kavanaugh, about the accusations at a Thursday hearing.https://n.pr/2OPQPAj

          Kavanaugh has repeatedly denied the allegations. Ford sent Grassley a letter over the weekend saying she has received death threats since she went public but added, “my fear will not hold me back from testifying and you will be provided with answers to all of your questions.”

          Perhaps because they are picking and choosing witnesses that can't corroborate? Aren't they able to subpoena Mike Judge?

          How did •good-old-boy* Grassley contact other witnesses? What does *did not corroborate* mean? (Did they deny it, or simply not affirm it?) This is exactly why the FBI background check needs to be reopened. The FBI knows how to gather evidence successfully.

          I believe this is why it would have been better to have the allegations investigated by the FBI. Chuck Grassley contacted witnesses. Please!

          Why would any woman want to get involved and be bullied, belittled, shamed and disgraced by Republican Congressmen? What would they do if a family member? OUT of TOUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

          So it's not true according to 80 year old white guys. That's fair.

          McConnell has already made his decision without even hearing from her. Welcome to the @GOP leadership.

          Were the witnesses he contacted under oath at the time? Is it beneficial to their reputations that Ms. Ford's account is not vindicated?

          Yes, it has been stated several times they have all given written testimony under the penalty of felony.
