61. Not at all. Perfect strategy. First the victim did not want her name used.

Sep 2018

The hearings would have the republicans out in full force slurring her. Doing this at the 11 th hour doesn’t give them time to do a Clarence Thomas on her, and now that she is public, it may create enough doubt without a Republican kangaroo court

If this was done two months ago it would be faded by now, and the R/W echo chamber would have gone in full attack mode

She asked something about sexual assault in the hearings? FBaggins Sep 2018 #57

Kavanaugh in trouble now, GOP can no longer attack an anonymous letter but there is now a face to it sunonmars Sep 2018 #11

Much worse than I expected from the bits leaking out Ms. Toad Sep 2018 #12

Now we know why the GOP had that "letter" ready to back him....They knew he was a predator. sunonmars Sep 2018 #13

She said that shouldn't be the reason LostinRed Sep 2018 #46

Seconded. This accusation was going nowhere without the accuser. bettyellen Sep 2018 #47
