Chuck Grassley is now insisting Christine Blasey Ford testifies on Monday -- or not at all. Why, it's almost as if he wants a show trial, and not the truth!
REPORTER: Why don't you have the FBI investigate Blasey Ford's sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh?
TRUMP: They don't really do that.
REPORTER: The FBI would if you asked them to!
TRUMP: Well, the senators should do it. pic.twitter.com/004uK8dsKX— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 19, 2018

"When I realized my mom wasn’t teaching my sisters, I decided someone needed to do it... They were 15 and 16, but academically they were at a 5th or 6th grade level."

What is alarming is how you — Mitch McConnell — have corrupted the High Court confirmation process by denying Judge Garland a hearing and now seek to jam another sexual predator onto the Court.

This letter is neither surprising nor nefarious. The only noteworthy thing about it is that not one Republican in the gang of eight signed on. All four have abdicated their oversight obligations to help Trump breach and undermine the Mueller investigation. https://t.co/mh2jzEho6T
