He does not know when to fold. He has no idea he is badly outplayed. He is the chairman of this committee but he is certainly not in control. No matter what he does the whole kabuki theater is unraveling. They are even getting into the realm of covering up a crime. If they knew about all of that and tried to hide it they may end up in more trouble than just being wiped out in november.

I thought tonight’s news was that the Republicans knew in advance about the second accusers, not the Democrats.

'The spokesperson in a statement slammed Democrats for "withholding information" regarding the allegations.

"Yet again, Senate Democrats actively withheld information from the rest of the Committee only to drop information at politically opportune moments," the statement said, doubling down on his remarks that Democrats withheld the first allegation against Kavanaugh from Christine Blasey Ford, who went public last week.

The spokesperson said the Democrats appear to be "more interested in a political takedown" than "pursuing allegations through a bipartisan and professional" investigation.

"Of course, we will attempt to evaluate these new claims," the statement added.'

Spokesman's confused.
