Christine Blasey Ford listens to Judiciary GOP chair Grassley falsely claim he’s done everything possible for a fair process and it’s Democrats who obstruct. He falsely equates what she’s been thru w/ Kavanaugh, falsely says Senate has already investigated so FBI doesn’t have to.
Dr Blasey Ford’s voice breaks detailing her sexual assault by Kavanaugh. “I believed he was going to rape me. I was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone… I tried to suppress it b/c recounting it caused panic and anxiety.” She’s breathing heavily, powering thru. What a hero.
Blasey Ford is being essentially cross-examined by Maricopa County Arizona sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell. Mitchell asks if her texts to WaPo & her letter to Senator Feinstein are accurate.

#Qanon bible students re: #FakeNewsAwards
1) Let's examine a historical/biblical fact, and then retrace the past few days events. Could this be pure strategy to set the Media up for its final fall, clearing the way for the upcoming MOAB of TRUTH?

2) Historically, Cyrus had to conquer the Medes prior to Babylon. If His-story repeats, then Trump has to conqueror the MEDia first before he finishes off the DeepState/Elites. How would he do this?
