Some Senate Democrats are now at the very least asking for an FBI investigation before a hearing with testimony from Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser should even be considered:
Senate Democrats, led by Senator @PattyMurray, call for a non-partisan FBI investigation into Dr. Blasey Ford’s serious, credible allegations against Judge Kavanaugh and for additional voices to be heard at any hearing. https://t.co/vTleItUwCg

For this to be a fair, deliberate, and open process, we need to let the FBI do its job and allow agents to conduct a full investigation of the allegations bravely brought forward by Dr. Ford.

Gillibrand: "They are giving her (Ford) an option. The option is show up Monday or don’t show up at all. I consider that to be bullying."

Republicans are pushing forward with the partisan ambush they have planned for Dr. Blasey Ford on Monday. Their actions are an insult to her and to survivors of sexual assault everywhere. https://t.co/QfOZF7mlid

And look where those same Dems stood earlier this week after the accusation in Dianne Feinstein’s letter became public, as shared by @MattWolking:
On Monday, Senator Dick Durbin said a Judiciary Committee hearing with Brett Kavanaugh's accuser was "the only way to go." https://t.co/YjZZUbzhEE
On Tuesday, he reversed himself.
