Let's be clear here folks. Ford has not agreed to anything.
That statement is complete red herring and strawman.
This is simply another attempt to "renegotiate" and delay the process, as is clearly stated in the letter. The first statement was for the "media" and for those dumb enough to not read past it.
Grassley and the GOP have made their offer. Katz asked for another day to consider it. They are not responding to Grassley's offer, they are ignoring it and pretending that it doesn't exist. They are wanting to once again "start over with negotiations" and want additional time to wallow.
Honestly, this is even more crass and daring that I thought Katz would be. She's literally wanting to simply start over from scratch and negotiate as if there has not been any ongoing negotiations.

Grassley has drawn red lines that are extremely consistent with what he should do. In this process, the rights of Judge Kavanaugh are as important as the rights of Ford. Grassley is, and I suspect will, continue to fight for Kavanaugh's rights.
I have no idea if Grassley is willing to continue to make more concessions. I really believe that the GOP is "concessioned" out on this thing. They don't "owe" Ford anything other than the opportunity to come tell her story under the normal operating rules of the Senate. They do not owe it to Ford to undo constitutional protections from someone who is being accused.
Would they move the date back another day or two, if Ford agreed to the rest? Possibly. But if Grassley gives away anything else regarding this, I think it would be time for the GOP to look for a new leader of the Judiciary committee.

Kavanaugh Accuser Will Testify
Lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford say that she has accepted the invitation to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who she has accused of sexually assaulting her when they were both in high school, the Washington Post reports.
The hearing is presumably scheduled for Wednesday. Ford’s lawyers asked the committee for a call later Saturday to work out other specifics.
NOW PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THIS, CH:
New York Times: “It is now up to Mr. Grassley to decide whether to grant Dr. Blasey’s wish for further negotiations or move ahead with a committee vote on Judge Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination scheduled for Monday.”

SUCH arrogance! How can a WOMAN presume to be so demanding?

On to MUCH more important issue.

Jane how long have you been post-op.
At less Roger is an honest sissy punk.
Now both Jane Jane the effeminate Roger both admit it has been 100 % political all along.
Trump Vows to Rid Justice Dept of ‘Lingering Stench’
President Trump vowed to eradicate a “lingering stench” at the Justice Department, hours after it was reported that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein discussed wearing a “wire” to record conversations with Trump and recruiting Cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office, CNN reports.
Said Trump:
“I want to tell you, we have great people in the Department of Justice, we have great people. These are people, I really believe, you take a poll, I got to be at 95%. But we had some real bad ones — you see what’s happened at the FBI, they’re all gone, they’re all gone, they’re all gone. But there’s a lingering stench and we’re going to get rid of that, too.”

We The People are wanting to get rid of an increasing stench that's in the Oval Office.
If I was Grassley I would get in front of the cameras and say she has accepted our inventation to testify and we look forward to seeing on Wednesday at 9:00am.
Perfectly fine. No health issues. Work is great. Wife is great. Kids are great. Things are going great with me!!!" 😁CHT
Same here, well said CHT.
I thought I read posts from both Alky and post-op Jane that she agreed to testify on Weds. No "but"s

Lol, k, how , 2020 vote?
Bags packed, just get on the crazy train.
"“She was like, ‘I can’t deal with this. If he becomes the nominee, then I’m moving to another country. I cannot live in this country if he’s in the Supreme Court,’ ” her husband said. “She wanted out.”
She is looking to hate America so deeply to leave it. So she is looking to move to New Zealand, they would not take her.

Seig Heil Mr. President.
This is an ask to continue 'negotiations' without committing to anything,.. It's a clever way to push off the vote Monday without committing to appear Wednesday."
She is looking to hate America so deeply to leave it

Question from the members of the committee only.

Christine Ford Meets Deadline By Not Agreeing To Terms
Basically the straight ahead fact of the situation, isn't it!
Great headline from Talking Points Memo
Ford Tentatively Accepts Senate Judiciary Request To Testify Next Week.
Fake News Washington Post
The email doesn’t specifically say whether Ford has agreed to appear on Wednesday, but that was the most recent offer that Grassley had made to her attorneys. Yet Ford's legal team plans to continue to press for a Thursday hearing, according to a person familiar with the lawyers’ thinking.
We don't know what she expects.
Lol,
Delay
Wash
Repeat
This is a ton of fun .
Keep going effeminate Roger and post-op Jane.
"Ford Tentatively Accepts Senate Judiciary Request To Testify Next Week." Brought to us by The effeminate Roger .
Date ?
Time ?
Got those locked down Roger ?
Tentative.
It's like tenatively going to a Stone's concert. But you don't have tickets, you don't know what city it's in and you don't know when you'll attend.
Grassely should take the line that since she accepted there no more negotiations.
They expect her to be there Wednesday.
And that's the only concession they should make.

And the Stone's can't play if you're not there?
Stones
Actually Stones'
If you're going to play the grammar police at least get it right.
I am quite sure that if the "only" thing Ford wants is a one day delay that Grassley would be happy to grant it.
But then again, if that was the "only" thing Ford wants, then the letter could have specified that, rather than suggest that they continue with their ongoing negotiations.
Grassley and the GOP are done negotiating. Everything "about" the hearing is a red line for them, and they have explained that. Not because they are bullying anyone, but because there is a decorum and precedent with Senate Hearings that are not all going to be tossed aside because Ford doesn't want to play by the rules.
She's the accuser. She requested her chance. She doesn't get to tell the Senate who can question her, what they can question her about, who is questioned, or what order they are questioned in. The accused "always" goes after the accuser. Grassley is not going to budge on any of that.

"Tenatively" ok, pumpkin.
What Date ?

Is she right now taking her crazy train to DC?

Jane , are you suggesting , IF/When she does her best No-show Jones, that Senator Grassley go for the vote?

Just let this sink in.
"new poll from The Huffington Post indicates that only a quarter of women believe that the sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh are credible.
25 percent of women responding say that the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh are credible."
"Great headline from Talking Points Memo " gurl alky
Only one problem. She did not agree to diddly.
Are your really that freaking stupid Jane & Alky?
Answer : Yes
Grassley hasn't issued a statement yet.
Inside the GOP Effort to Save Kavanaugh
Washington Post:
“This time, the questions were much different. An array of White House aides, playing the role of various senators on the Judiciary Committee, quizzed Kavanaugh last week about his sex life and other personal matters in an attempt to prepare him for a hearing that would inevitably be uncomfortable.
“In his answers during the practice runs, aides said, Kavanaugh condemned sexual assault and carefully avoided seeming to discredit Christine Blasey Ford, a psychology professor in northern California who has accused the nominee of pinning her to a bed, groping her and putting his hand over her mouth to stifle her screams as he tried to take off her clothes at a drunken high school party in the early 1980s.
“But Kavanaugh grew frustrated when it came to questions that dug into his private life, particularly his drinking habits and his sexual proclivities… He declined to answer some questions altogether, saying they were too personal.”
_____________
I guess one such question might have been, did you, like your friend Judge has admitted of himself, sometimes get quite drunk and chase skirts?"
Get it right, lol.
No, it it is grammatically correct to say either Stones concert or Stones' concert, not not Stone's concert as you originally had it.
I quickly corrected my misstep.
Yawn, get on topic queen.
Bret Kavanaigh is a better man then, Roger, Jane and WP, combined.
BREAKING NEWS
Tentative Deal Reached for Thursday Hearing
“The Senate Judiciary Committee and lawyers for the woman who has accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers reached a tentative agreement on Saturday for her to publicly testify on Thursday, an apparent breakthrough in halting negotiations,” the New York Times reports.
“After a brief call late on Saturday, the lawyers and aides to Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), the Republican chairman of the Judiciary Committee, planned to talk again Sunday morning to continue negotiations over the conditions of the testimony.
“Negotiations could still falter over those details, which include who will question the woman, Christine Blasey Ford. But in tentatively agreeing to a Thursday hearing, Republicans made a significant concession that suggested they were working to ensure that the session occurred after several days of uncertainty."

I have been at a Stone's concert.
Guns and Roses was the opening act.
Simply put," Walsh said, "Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford."
The lawyer acknowledged to CNN that Keyser is a lifelong friend of Ford's.
Keyser is the latest person alleged to be at the party to say she has no recollection of it.
"I understand that you have been identified as an individual who was in attendance at a party that occurred circa 1982 described in a recent Washington Post article," a committee staffer wrote Keyser earlier this week.
Kavanaugh has vehemently denied the allegations, telling sources he was "flabbergasted" when he learned of them.
"This is a completely and totally false allegation," he said after Ford came forward. "I have never done anything like what the accuser describes — to her or to anyone."
In addition, two others have issued statements.
"I have no memory of this alleged incident," said Mark Judge in a September 18 letter sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee. He said he did not recall the party and never saw Brett Kavanaugh act in the matter Ford describes.
In addition, Patrick J. Smyth issued a statement. "I understand that I have been identified by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as the person she remembers as 'PJ' who supposedly was present at the party she described in her statements to the Washington Post," Smyth said in his statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee. "I am issuing this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh."
"Personally speaking, I have known Brett Kavanaugh since high school and I know him to be a person of great integrity, a great friend, and I have never witnessed any improper conduct by Brett Kavanaugh towards women. To safeguard my own privacy and anonymity, I respectfully request that the Committee accept this statement in response to any inquiry the Committee may have." CNN
Post-Op Jane .
Making fun of Dr Cray Cray.

The Republicans have gone out of their way to threat her will more respect.
Something the socialist never do.
