2. She is concerned about her family's safety. She wants to testify...

but because of phone call and internet threats, she needs reassurance of their safety.

Of course the FBI needs to know this because obviously....this is also a witness tampering issue.

3. This is good news

they're going to talk to her about the fact that she and her family have had to flee their home in Palo Alto because of violent and even death threats to them.

This is how low the country has sunk.

4. Republican efforts to bring this country down continue....but,

her courage to testify, as well involve the FBI, sets the example that....together

America will rise again.

14. This will eventually be traced back to Trumputin's orders

follow the money. Somebody is organizing a concerted death threat campaign, and it's pretty obvious who stands to gain from it.

6. "This is how low the country has sunk"

yup

5. This confirms what I heard on MSNBC but with more specifics.

7. I Have Always

[Wondered why Wray couldn't quietly reopen the background check process on Kavanaugh and interview Dr. Ford and others. It has always been within his powers. The only roadblock would be whether Trump fired him but he needs to block that out. Sounds like he finally found his balls.

9. From what I understand, the FBI is investigating possible criminal behavior

involving death threats and harrassment/witness tampering. They are NOT presently pursuing the vetting process for Kavanaugh.

8. She is doing everything perfectly

And will be the smartest person in the room if she testifies to that panel of dessicated brain matter Republicans.

10. Smarter than over half the room, Sens Harris and Klobuchar are pretty damn smart

[lunatica]

11. The three will be using the big words

Confusing the cement brained Republicans with all them big words.

12. I really hope the RW crazies don't learn of her whereabouts...

I think she's very smart to go talk to the FBI.

13. Christine Blasey Ford to speak with FBI about death threats

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/21/politics/christine-blasey-ford-kavanaugh-fbi-threats/index.html

Washington (CNN)Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, will speak to the FBI on Friday in San Francisco about the death threats against her, a source close to Ford tells CNN.

The FBI investigation pertains only to the threats Ford has received since coming public with her allegations last weekend; it is not about the assault accusations against the Supreme Court nominee.

Ford has alleged that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in the early 1980s by pushing her into a bedroom at a party and attempting to remove her clothes. Kavanaugh has categorically denied the allegation.

Democrats, and Ford, have pressed for an FBI investigation into the alleged incident, while Republicans and the White House have resisted calls for an FBI inquiry and have said that the Senate Judiciary Committee can handle an investigation into the allegations.
