Christine Blasey Ford: “I’m sorry, I have a conflict.”

Surprise, surprise, surprise: the woman accusing Judge Kavanaugh of attempted rape in the summer of ‘82 now says she won’t be testifying in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday because “it’s not enough time.” Most people would think that 36 years is long enough to get your story straight. So forgive me for concluding that the woman’s 11th hour allegations might be driven by motives other than justice.

…we much

So she won’t be showing up for the hearing because she has a previous commitment. Or she has to wash her hair.

And also, this just in: St. Martin’s Press announces they will be publishing Andrew McCabe’s new book “The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump.” They released this statement from Andy hisself, explaining why he’s going to all the trouble to write this really important book:

“I wrote this book because the president’s attacks on me symbolize his destructive effect on the country as a whole,” McCabe said in a statement issued through St. Martin’s. “He is undermining America’s safety and security, and eroding public confidence in its institutions.”

You know what else undermines America’s safety and security? Professionals within those institutions undermining America’s electoral process and subsequently its duly elected President.

Andy’s statement continues:

“His attacks on the most crucial institutions of government, and on the professionals who serve within them, should make every American stand up and take notice.”

I’ve got news for you Andy, many of us think that describes precisely what you, Comey, Stozok, Page, Ohr, et al were doing.
