I swear Olivia Pope is going to show up anyday, and set all this straight.

This is like story number 15

Intimidation?

He's an old school gentleman, only sleazy people would twist it into something else. ..like the media.

Sham hearing—the Republicans already scheduled a vote. These old rich white men are the most corrupt group of lawmakers in the history of our government—bought by billionaires in this country & in several foreign countries.

EvanMillward She is a liar.

shannoncoulter So brave

You better not interrupt GeneralHospital for this crap GStephanopoulos ! No one cares about this. If we did we would watch Fox or CNN. You’re not a 24 hour news station. Show some respect for your viewers and let us watch GH!

They are gonna have her up there tomorrow to tell her story they all are full of shit they are gonna call that due process they already made up their minds they are gonna be like thank you for your time and vote him in anyway the other two don’t even get to testify no witnesses?

You backed the wrong horse you old goat....give it up!

ghoulish in every way

LocalMemphis Peanuts cartoons are written better than her tale of fiction

Letter of an English professor is horrific and full of errors. The letter itself shows a third class faculty who seem to be good only for pornstar.

The day is Coming for you to be removed. God will move you from office. You are not qualified to be president or dog catcher. Help us Lord and remove the devil from the office.

Oh my! Again we wait 32 years to say something about what happened in high school - what was wrong with saying something then? I call BS that you were afraid, choices people - there are always choices!!!!!!! Is there such a thing as statue of limitations- just saying

Y r we just hearing about this? When they do background checks, 4 of them, they go to everywhere u lived, every school so y is this just coming out? DEMSMADEUPSTORIES ABCNEWS REPUBLICANS NEED TO WIN MIDTERMS R WE'RE SCREWED

Intimidation. Shame, shame, shame on all these Republican men who won’t even take her claims seriously enough to investigate them. Our daughters and our sons are watching your lead. ChuckGrassley LindseyGrahamSC JeffFlake

Showdown ChuckGrassley? Classic GOP. BelieveChristine

Ok, so when is the hearing for the other 2 women?

VOTE THEM OUT

Serious question: Is Dr. Ford going to testify under oath?

93wibc and still everyone she listed has said they were not there and that such a party never happened.

After Bush the GOP, should have been extinct, these old farts should have been sent out to pasture.

I am sure something will come up where Ford will delay her testifying.

And at the eleventh hour still trying to intimidate her But I don't think they can

If everyone is going to start being judged on things we did in HS, we'll all in trouble. Drunk his idiots. If they were raped, I'd feel different but this is pathetic Demsunethical ABCNEWSSUCKS BIAS YNOW

So why didn’t the Senate go forward with Merrick Garland’s hearings? Not enough allegations?

No they don’t. It’s a made up bs story from a pos lawyer that is cnns lap dog

Not threatening at all...

Heard it was debunked it was even from him. But just keep reporting that it was...

how are we supposed to interpret that since ChuckGrassley often speaks in code?

Seems intimidating to me

will BenSasse lisamurkowski SenatorCollins JeffFlake knowingly support the appointment of a sexual predator? VOTE NO!

KTNV

She doesn’t need LUCK ChuckGrassley .. she needs for honorable decent men to take a stand and put an end to the misogynistic despicable rape culture and sexual assault that runs rampant through this world! Take a stand Sen Grassley. Stand up for women! MeToo NoKavanaugh

This shouldn't have been done

You have to have actual shit for brains to think Chuck Grassley wrote this note.

This was not appropriate in the slightest. All of these tone-deaf, immoral GOP need to be voted out at the earliest opportunity.

It’s called intimidation. Fortunately Dr Ford has scissors and rock which always beat paper.

Was that note to Dr. Ford from Send Grassley to wish her well or an attempt at intimidation?

That's not creepy at all.

MORE: Read Christine Blasey Ford's opening statement: "I believed he was going to rape me."

Again, so this women said nothing & ALL 4 ppl she said were in the room say “IT DID NOT HAPPEN.” The 2nd says “I’m out.” The 3rd is claiming she kept going back to gang rape parties BUT at least 10 girls gang raped were so “weak” they told no one? BS!

So interesting - why would one of the old white male conservatives on the Senate Judiciary Committee suddenly take even a modest (if still basically offensive) conciliatory tone? There are NO good optics for Republicans in this trainwreck of a nomination. MeToo

If she doesn't show up and claims victim hood "what difference does it make?"

Did she have to do this? Did KavNO send his in? WTF KavaNo is "practicing" for his time tomorrow. PracticinghisLIES More LyingUnderOath? WorstPresidentEVER UNaudienceWASlaughingatYOU YouareanEmbarassment

I'm so glad when he popped up Wsaz went back to local news he is too much Freemasons realllllllly messed him up after this presidency he will need counseling

7News And if he’s not - the democrats will have to deal with it

jonkarl Actual photo of tRumps "BIG BRAIN"

Another lie POTUS

jonkarl Since this is a rare event, wonder if his Doctor gave him some Ativan, so he doesn't get too excited and think he's at a rally.

jonkarl

jonkarl Trump talking too much..My Dad, a WW II Vet, May he RIP, used to say, “Loose lips sinks ships.”

jonkarl How do you know?

7NY This guy needs a shrink.

jonkarl Juror? Judge? Obstructionist?

Well he wouldn’t want investigations on anything now, would he!

Lol

Trump is lying. Investigations are exactly what the FBI does ... and they do them very well.

Come on people in the media why do you allow such spewing being aired on tv? We CANNOT take anymore of his crap!

He said almost the same in his handwritten PS. I think it’s 51 percent putting her on notice, 49 percent welcome. A kinder, more self-aware person would have written something like, “I’m sure this will be difficult, but we appreciate you coming to appear before us.”

Just like the Presidency isn’t for him

KTNV jonkarl Mr. Trump how do you know the accusation is false did you do your own investigation let the FBI do the investigation leave it up to them not you.

jonkarl Trump is trash hearing him.

Did Trump just say that George Washington had a shady past? Did he just throw shade at the first president? The Obamas go high. The Trumps go so low, you need a drill and a light to dig the road. kavanaugh

The end this presidency all one would need to do is leak 10 years worth of his taxes

jonkarl What an absolutely useless man DonaldTrump

Okay, then maybe they should formally fille these complaints with the State of Maryland?

7NY Would that be from “the standpoint of water”?

jonkarl Trump saying, "These are false accusations" = Trump saying, "The women are liars."

jonkarl What is he talking about omg mentioning GeorgeWashington?

jonkarl Stop talking. You are the worst defender someone accused of sexual assault could ask for. Lol

He's gonna play that game.... Use his position 2 intimidate, a day B4!

7NY BUM!

jonkarl Prince Rabadash is such a CHAUVINIST! He wants women to be stupid and permissive for his personal pleasures.

He doesn't want veryone to know that the prep school stories ar true and that ppl in high up positions are participants. Hmmmm, wonder what type of college life the judge in BrockTurner case had? Maybe that's why he didn't ink it was a big deal?

Maybe it’s not so easy to find a judge for sale

jonkarl Translation from trump speak to English: "I won't get into this game but I will tell you that I think they are lying."

jonkarl So yes, he thinks they are lying.

Thank you for asking a great question and he doesn’t acknowledge names of reporters! Yes !!! Asking good questions! He knows the lawyer and not the victims! He’s a disgrace!

LIes, lies and more lies...this guy is so full of shit and has no idea about anything. Who is advising him? The only reason Michael Avenatti is a low life is because he showed the world Trump is a down and out liar, and yet people still praise him

realDonaldTrump I guess you haven't taken your medication today.

Only sides with the accused...not the accusers. So true Acosta

Yeah they do. Unless the person, who could make it happen, (realDonaldTrump ) knows there is much to hide. Should we start with the 1982 "Calendar"? A handwriting expert could pick that calendar apart. So there will be no FBI investigation.

Christine Blasey Ford, accuser of Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh, will testify on ThursdayChristine Blasey Ford, a California professor at the center of a sexual assault accusation against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, has agreed to testify to representatives of the Senate Judiciary Committee sometime next week. Gonna be a circus It is highly probable that the Kavanaugh Vs Ford hearing this coming week will be the straw that broke the camel’s back for the Republican Party’s primitive & obsolete mindset regarding all human affairs. Suburban women across America will be watching with bated breath. Guarentee, Kavanaugh pulls out now, truth be told and it could get ugly. Don`t Bring the Kids, Kavanaugh! DNA on bathing suit will sink him.
