      Kavanaugh "emphatically" denied the allegations, Collins added. How would she decide then? Collins says it would require "testimony, under oath, with a lot of questions to be asked of both of them."

          So, where are we with the Kavanaugh nomination as Monday comes to an end? The key fact is that, after not agreeing to hold a hearing let alone delay the vote, Grassley agreed to hold a hearing and delay the vote. The hearing, he decided, would not be until next Monday.

          This means another week of stories, week of news, week of doubts, week of waiting. Another set of Sunday newspapers and Sunday shows. The aim all along has been speed, and no delays. ... It’s very hard to see how delay could now be good for Kavanaugh.

          That doesn’t mean it’s fatal, in and of itself, but Republicans have made it clear that they control this SCOTUS process, and I’m not sure I see an upside for Kavanaugh to, on THIS Monday, putting off a further hearing to NEXT Monday. Look at how much happened today.

          (thread) a few dynamics on Kavanaugh, based on my conversations with several top Republicans today... 1. A week is a long, long time in politics and many people involved in Sen and at WH priv. see next Mon's planned hearing as an eon away and still wonder if it'll happen...

          "Now, at the 11th hour ... after Democrats have searched for any reason that the nomination should be delayed, now they choose to reveal this allegation ... by leaking it to the press" b/c "the chain of custody" to the letter runs the Dems, McConnell says.

          This was a guaranteed forced statement by Sessions in coordination with McConnell. Republicans are corrupt to the max!! Guilty until proven innocent!!!
