        Ford says she has one motivation for coming forward: “To tell the truth about what Mr. Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge did to me.”

        Here’s Grassley’s response, saying Kavanaugh and Ford will get a “credible and fair” hearing in a “professional setting.” https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/2018-09-24%20Grassley%20to%20Ford%20-%20Ford%20Allegations.pdf …

        "I kindly ask you to use your best discretion regarding this personal letter." That's where I stopped reading. For what I think should be obvious reasons. And yet they are not. You continued reading and went so far as to publish. Shameful.

        Grassley shared this "private" letter w/Kavanaugh and his team before Manu received it, BTW.

        I'm sure he did. Just trying to remind journalists and whomever else might be reading, that there are ethical standards that we can aspire to.

        Outraged? Try disgusted at the blatant lies the Dems use to try & oust Kavanaugh. Fake allegations is their bailiwick. It's what they do when it looks like they might lose. every. single. time. Now you? With the fake strawman argument?pic.twitter.com/UKXFTvwz1v

        She is accusing a SITTING federal judge of a violent felony. The consequences for blatantly lying to defame his character would be severe. She understands this. We understand this. She deserves to be heard, Beckyyyyy.

        Yep, she sure is. And she has ZERO evidence to back it up. All her friends have said it either never happened or they weren't there. And the Dems are SO convinced they dont HAVE to prove it, just smear him with it, that they think it's alright & no charges will be filed.

        Clarifies that she initially hoped to weigh in confidentially at the "short list" phase so that a different person could be selected. I think this would probably have worked with a different WH.

        Dr. Ford, you did the right thing! Millions of us supports you! Use this as a deterrent from negativity spoken by these people who weren’t there and is only wishing it to be a lie. You are strong, you are smart and again, you have our support!

        So @ChuckGrassley shared it with Kavanaugh first and have him put out a statement to preempt this? This will not be a fair hearing ..

        For the skeptics,what did this intelligent,respectful woman have 2 gain by making a false accusation? Was her family & work life that boring, that she chose 2 risk the security of herself, spouse & children? Victims have better things 2 do than falsely put their families at risk.

        Not written by her. Does not resemble original Feinstein letter in the slightest.

        “I kindly ask that you use your best discretion regarding this personal letter.” And it’s already public. Guess Grassley’s “best discretion” is pretty sketchy.

        It's so interesting to read this: she's thinking that they are actually considering and weighing candidates thoughtfully and that this information might help them choose someone the right person, perhaps more fit for SCOTUS. If only.
