This is an interesting point. I agree with you that the Dems never planned on going all the way with it. I think what they hoped would happen was that these accusations would come out and the Republicans would fold in the wake of all the MeToo accusations as to avoid a controversy. Since then the Dems have been fighting to keep this thing alive and continue to build upon the lie as best they can in the hopes of putting forth enough evidence for reasonable doubt, which I worry they may get given the 'All men are guilty of sexual assault' mentality they push so ignorantly. I think they also realize that if this fails, the legitimacy of their movement will be destroyed.
When this first broke, I was pissed that the GOP even entertained it as even remotely valid, I thought they should have told them to pound sand, but as time went by and the media ramped up their attacks, the Dims doubled and tripled down on stupid, so much so, the Dim Pimp known as Avanati, Stormy's attorney, swallowed the bait that another witness had come forward and he was willing to pay her.
He was exposed for the hack he is and the Dims were leftist with egg on their face by relation.

What I think the GOP did, was play this out as credible, even getting the left to do a reverse on the law by claiming "Guilty by accusation".
This will be used against them in the midterm elections in the form of ads.
I could be wrong, due to the fact the Establishment loves stealing defeat from the jaws of victory, but it appears that this time, smarter heads are calling the shots over the leftist Establishment hacks.

One must understand this is just not about the judge now.  This is about every boy growing up.  All it will take is a girl saying he did this.  Under the Dem's rule he is guilty until he can prove himself innocent.

I just heard McConnell give the strongest senate floor speech I can remember. He sounded pissed about the democrat tactics and called out individual democrat senators for their shenanigans. I am hopeful this signals he has the votes.

A very good read

10 Red Flags About Sexual Assault Claims, From An Employment Lawyer

snip~
Without naming any particular accusation, I offer these factors for consideration to the fair-minded who remain open to the possibility that guilt or innocence is not simply a question of politics. I also remind the reader that politicizing these accusations have allowed men like Harvey Weinstein, Al Franken, Matt Lauer, Les Moonves, Bill Clinton, and Keith Ellison to escape accountability. Nobody seems to care if they walk the walk so long as they talk the talk.

1. The accuser uses the press instead of the process.

Every company has a slightly different process for harassment and assault complaints. Often it begins with a neutral investigator being assigned to interview the accuser first, then potential corroborating witnesses. When an accuser is eager to share with the media but reluctant to meet with an investigator, it's a flag.

2. The accuser times releasing the accusation for an advantage.

For example, when the accuser holds the allegation until an adverse performance rating of the accuser is imminent, or serious misconduct by the accuser is suddenly discovered, or the accused is a rival for a promotion or a raise, or the accused's success will block an accuser's political objective. It's a flag when the accusation is held like a trump card until an opportunity arises to leverage the accusation.

3. The accuser attacks the process instead of participating.

The few times I've been attacked for "harassing" the victim, it has always followed an otherwise innocuous question about the accusation, such as: Where, when, how, why, what happened? I don't argue with accusers, I just ask them to explain the allegation. If I'm attacked for otherwise neutral questions, it's a red flag.

4. When the accused's opportunity to mount a defense is delegitimized.

The latest accuser, Julie Swetnick was older than Kavanaugh (16 and 18) and is claiming she, as an adult, went to parties where kids were drugging and raping other kids and never reported any of it to anybody.

And she kept going back to watch more kids fill up on alcohol and drugs and rape each other.

She graduated three years ahead of Kavanaugh so she would've been a college student attending high school rape parties orchestrated by 15 yr. olds.

Someone should point out to this woman that she needs competent legal representation because she's being advised to admit to various felonies for which there is no statute of limitations in the state of Maryland.


As far as having multiple "security clearances" ... I've had more than a few in my lifetime.

They are usually called "building passes" to secure building sites!

Many general contractors in the Washington area have them.

Well, she was standing by my dressing room after the show
Asking for my autograph and asked if she could go
Back to my motel room
But the rest is just a tragic tale
Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail

Looks like a leftist circle jerk to me.

A decade ago, Julie Swetnick made a sexual harassment complaint against her former employer, New York Life Insurance. Representing her was the firm run by Debra Katz, who now reps Christine Blasey Ford. She was ultimately paid a financial settlement.

I think the Republicans showing cold feet are attempting to cling to any perceived leverage against the President.  The Iran deal set Jeff Flake off.  It's like driving into an oncoming train but putting on your seat belt.

Kavanaugh accuser Ford to testify that she 'believed he was going to rape' her.

Every place I look the MSM does not give Kavanaugh a snow ball chance in hell.  I think when this is all over Kavanaugh will become a very rich man.  As I feel he will go all the way to clear his name.
