Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser is not responding to requests to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee

  I have purposely held off on writing anything about the sexual misconduct allegations from high school which were leveled against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh simply because we do not know whether or not they are true and I was waiting for the two of them to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

  Brett Kavanaugh immediately denied the accusations and agreed to testify in front of the committee and we were told Christine Blasey Ford, despite Dianne Feinstein’s original claim that she did not want to come forward, was ready to testify as well.

  But to date Christine Blasey Ford has not responded to requests from Republicans that she appear before the committee so I have decided to write about it, here is more:

Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who threw a wrench into the confirmation process of Judge Brett Kavanaugh by leveling 36-year-old sexual misconduct allegations against him, has not responded to multiple requests to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee and tell her story under oath.

“Our staff reached out to Dr. Ford’s lawyer with multiple emails yesterday to schedule a similar call and inform her of the upcoming hearing, where she will have the opportunity to share her story with the Committee. Her lawyer has not yet responded,” an aide to the chairman of the committee, Sen. Charles Grassley, said in a statement Tuesday.

Grassley told conservative talk radio host Hugh Hewitt that the lack of response “kind of raises the question, do they want to  come to the public hearing or not?”

“As I said earlier, anyone who comes forward as Dr. Ford has done deserves to be heard,” Grassley said in a statement. “My staff has reached out to Dr. Ford to hear her account, and they held a follow-up call with Judge Kavanaugh this afternoon. Unfortunately, committee Democrats have refused to join us in this effort. However, to provide ample transparency, we will hold a public hearing Monday to give these recent allegations a full airing.”

  I fully expect her to testify before all is said and done, that is if she is telling the truth and even Dianne Feinstein admitted she has no idea if any of it is true. But I do find it interesting that none of the Democrats are helping in the effort to get her to testify. Do they know something we do not know about?
