Will Senator Grassley be referring Christine Blasey Ford for investigation? What about her lawyers?Will DOJ investigate Representative Sheila Jackson Lee for passing an envelope to Ford’s lawyer Bromwich?

I'd like to see that but it will not happen. She's a woman of color. They did nothing about her lying to get a lady removed a plane because she wanted her 1st class seat.
