UPDATED: Sarah Sanders accuses Dems of exploiting Ford, Kavanaugh

Source: The Hill


BY BRETT SAMUELS - 09/30/18 09:36 AM EDT

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Sunday blasted Democrats for their "disgraceful" and "disgusting" handling of the sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Sanders asserted on "Fox News Sunday" that Senate Republicans will dictate the terms of the FBI investigation into allegations from Christine Blasey Ford that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and groped her at a high school party in the 1980s. Sanders claimed Democrats have "exploited" both Ford and Kavanaugh in recent weeks.

"I think that we cannot allow the people that have acted in bad faith to determine and allow this to become a total fishing expedition by the FBI," Sanders said.

"Senate Republicans are going to lay out and dictate those terms, and we look forward to this wrapping up so we can see what we’ve seen in the last six background investigations that Judge Kavanaugh’s been a part of," she continued.

For what it's worth, the wording of the old headline can still be found in the URL/link which seems to be a confirmation that The Hill changed the headline after publishing the story.

Dr Ford wanted to alert this administration before he was chosen about what he has done, and it was ignored by trump . Trump picked such a flawed person for this job ,and its showing how corrupt , and how much he disregards the rule of law, the truth, and his ability to self control , and nothing showed anyone he's capable or deserves this job now. trump failed completely again nominating such a pathetic nominee. Is also so's a clear pattern from trump appointing corrupt criminals into positions in his administration is more than accidental, especially with this judge who's policies will be to protect trump and the gop to ignore the rules of law. These people are criminals appointing more criminals.

I sued him to 🚫 Jay Clayton; and the briefing informed him of a bad faith federal prosecutor (Colm Connolly).

Donald responded by nominating the bad faith party, for the federal bench.
