Im looking forward to speaking to Anderson Cooper tonight on @ac360 to discuss Deborah Ramirezs claim. We have been working hard to cooperate with the Senate Judiciary Committee, but at this point have to point out some hard truths.
Deborah Ramirez only came forward after being contacted by Ronan Farrow and carefully working through her memories only to ensure her accuracy. We reached out to the Senate Judiciary Committee to schedule a call to discuss how best to bring them that information.
And they have refused to meet all scheduled appointments. We have officially requested an FBI investigation and our client remains adamant that is the appropriate venue for her to discuss her trauma.
Ms. Ramirez is ready to swear to the FBI under penalty of perjury. Why wont the Senate Judiciary Committee welcome that?

(46,166 posts)To answer your question - If people don't realize it yet they will very soon after Kav is seated and the SCOTUS starts handing down decisions left and right reversing our rights and sending the New Deal to the dustbin of history. It'll be evident when we're standing on the ashes of American achievement. Sadly, you won't be waiting very long.

That is the plan, ALL of it.
NONE of it had to happen, either. But for the WHINING about our candidate.

The prepared letter of support from 63 women. The having little girls sitting behind him during his first day of testimony. They knew much more than they shared with Dems, and they were hoping to sneak him through and make that information vanish.

Ed Whelan knew Dr. Ford's name before it became public.
They knew and that's why they've been trying so hard and are still trying to rush the vote.

(2,275 posts)PLEASE start a news service that summarizes key news items like this Kavenaugh farce a service that constantly updates as new info comes in (with links to sources so that the page stays uncluttered).
We need a national info clearing house to keep our sanity.
