      Opposition to Kavanaugh grows, support at historic low. Reuters poll has just 31% of US adults in favor of Kavanaugh, fewer than 2/3 of Republicans (64%) https://reut.rs/2xqv3wo

          We need to take the time to gather all of the facts around these allegations. That means we need to also hear from Mark Judge. The Judiciary Committee should subpoena him if he refuses to testify. https://twitter.com/Acosta/status/1042161552307171329 …

          This is why it is entirely reasonable for Dr. Ford to request time. She's about to come up against a highly sophisticated, very effective machine designed to destroy her credibility. The faster they can make her do it, and the fewer facts available, the harder it will be for her. https://twitter.com/KFILE/status/1042452517060259842 …

          Trump sure comes awful close to saying that the allegation against Kavanaugh is made up in that Hill interview. See this thread from @tparti —>https://twitter.com/tparti/status/1042495064222691329?s=21 …

          Chris Geidner added,

          Tarini PartiVerified account @tparti
          Trump goes on to compare the allegations against Kavanaugh to the Russia investigation. "This is no different than the Russian witch hunt, what they’ve done is they make up a lot of stuff and try and obstruct and resist."

          One odd point: This letter — from the Senate Judiciary Committee chair to the Dems on the committee — was distributed by the White House, via pool.

          A second point: Grassley focuses on these points about the FBI background investigation process, but never notes whether the White House could ask the FBI to do additional investigation. Bloomberg has reported they can. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-17/white-house-is-said-not-to-ask-fbi-to-vet-kavanaugh-allegations …pic.twitter.com/VENZIbmAEI

          Replying to @chrisgeidner

          Why is this "somewhat odd"? Ford said that Smyth was at the party; Smyth responds that he has "no knowledge of the party in question," or of the alleged misconduct by Kavanaugh. Seems pretty straightforward.

          The story doesn’t say where she named him, whether CNN actually confirmed that she did so, when and how he found out that she allegedly named him, when he hired a lawyer, and how this letter came to be prepared. There are just a few of the most obvious questions.

          Okay, fair enough. Though according to the WP story: "Ford named two other teenagers who she said were at the party. Those individuals did not respond to messages on Sunday morning." So presumably that's how Smyth learned he was one of them - WP told him.https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/california-professor-writer-of-confidential-brett-kavanaugh-letter-speaks-out-about-her-allegation-of-sexual-assault/2018/09/16/46982194-b846-11e8-94eb-3bd52dfe917b_story.html?utm_term=.a83bc4bdb8da …
