Ronan Farrow is turning out to be quite the investigator. And while the fact of Ramirez isn't new, the story of the Repubs holding it back explains how they managed to (eg) come up with a list of 65 women to "vouch" for Kavanaugh's character on such very short notice.
At that point, Heather Sawyer, the Democratic staffer who was copied on the e-mails in accordance with committee policy, wrote to Davis, “As you’re aware, Ms. Ramirez’s counsel have repeatedly requested to speak with the Committee, on a bipartisan basis, to determine how to proceed. You refused. I’ve never encountered an instance where the Committee has refused even to speak with an individual or counsel. I am perplexed as to why this is happening here, except that it seems designed to ensure that the Majority can falsely claim that Ms. Ramirez and her lawyers refused to cooperate. That simply is not true.”
They knew there were some major problems in this asshat's past and weirdly, the "woman problem" may be the one they actually want us to focus on, so we can be made to overlook the truly horrendous shit he's pulled as a long-time GOP operative, specializing in Rat-Fuckery.
I just like to remind myself of these things.
E-mails show Republican Senate staff stymied a Kavanaugh accuser's effort to give testimony. "I’ve never encountered an instance where the Committee has refused even to speak with an individual or counsel. I am perplexed as to why this is happening here": https://t.co/Fy0om1zAuO— Ronan Farrow (@RonanFarrow) September 28, 2018
And also too - thinking about Kavanaugh's little hissy fits on Thursday, imagine what this jagoff is going to be like in a debate with SCOTUS colleagues behind the doors.
And also too, pt 2: Imagine Donald Segretti, as a mean drunk, being elevated to SCOTUS.
