"The FBI will do a supplemental background investigation, then I'm going to call for an investigation of what happened in this committee. Who betrayed Dr. Ford's trust? Who in Feinstein's office recommended Katz as a lawyer? Why did Ms. Ford not know that the committee was willing to go to California?"

(2,434 posts)...Graham is in the Russia issue. Or maybe it's some other criminal issue. He seems awfully frantic if he's merely being threatened for his sexual orientation being outed. Maybe there is an actual crime that he's committed that carries a prison sentence that he is freaking out about and needs a pardon from the orange menace? Clearly something major has happened to this man for him to be so freaking terrified.

Now that somebody has him by the balls and is squeezing.. he can't stop screaming...

The only way our country will ever survive is if we eventually treat this entire chapter of our history in the same way Germany treats their Hitler era.

(2,446 posts)Dr. Ford contacted the Washington Post and informed them of the letter. The Washington Post questioned Feinstein and disclosed the existence of the letter, which in turn, lead to requests for Dr. Ford to appear before the committee...

(11,885 posts)We'll see who gets shown to have ties to putin , russian , and corruption. My bet is he has a lot to hide, to now be another talking puppet for trump and putin, and promoting kavanaugh knowing he's a serial liar and corrupt. Graham is acting very ,very desperate, and probably is wanting the AG job. Only thing is he's been corrupted too. The gop party is now in a freefall downward, and they're making it go faster now doing stupid things like this now. Keep talking Graham. it's only helping Democrats more.

(7,814 posts)we'll see a ton of new accusations and investigations over the next month in a bid to keep the senate.
No different than Trump wanting to investigate Clinton, Nunes wanting to investigate Comey and Steele. Senate used to be better than this. No branch of government uncorrupted.

BeckyDem
(8,361 posts)Do not forget the GOP is hiding what they already knew about Kavanaugh BEFORE Ford.
Breaking bipartisan precedent, Republicans have refused to share all the relevant documents pertaining to Judge Kavanaughs tenure in the White House and his time as Staff Secretary, raising questions about whether he was involved in controversies such as torture, curtailing of reproductive rights, warrantless surveillance and executive power. The subset of Kavanaugh documents that Republicans have requested from the Bush Library will have been pre-screened by a private legal team whose lead attorney has close ties to the Trump administration. Republicans abandonment of bipartisan precedent in handling of Supreme Court nominations raises the obvious question: What are they hiding?

(22,976 posts)Grahams pulled a 180°. He had been critical of 45, until recently. What sparked the change? The promise of a cabinet position? Does his personal life, including finances, contain any smoking guns?
Impossible to say, but his transformation has been rapid and sweeping.
