Trump sure comes awful close to saying that the allegation against Kavanaugh is made up in that Hill interview. See this thread from

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

They should subpoena Ford. Pretty serious accusation and raise, then back away from. Ruins lives.

Isn’t it interesting they being media and Democrats want everyone she named subpoenaed but not her the person making the accusation. She should be the first questioned and if it’s believable then the others should be.

A very strange progression unless: 1) Stall until midterms, hope there is a changing of the guard 2) She needs time to compose based on results of first round of interviews So far she doesn't seem smarter than Anita Hill, ergo I think she has help "planning"
