This letter deals with all the events and all the allegations which have been received by either the Democratic or
Reupblican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee concerning Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination.
This letter not only reveals inconsistencies in Ford's testimony, but also reveals inconsistencies in all the stories presented by Kavanaugh's accusers. It is worth the time spent reading this letter because it sheds light on the corruption that is present in our government at the highest levels, and the frustration that Senator Grassley must feel in trying to be fair.

Dear Colleagues:
Last Wednesday, September 26, I received a letter signed by all of you, the ten Democratic
members, of the Senate Judiciary Committee, calling for delay in consideration and/or the
withdrawal of Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States,
based on the allegations of Ms. Julie Swetnick, who is represented by Michael Avenatti.
Yesterday, in an interview with Kate Snow of NBC News, Ms. Swetnick backtracked on some of
the claims she made in a sworn statement to Congress. The interview can be accessed here:

I've enclosed a timeline of the activity I've driven as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which
reflects a serious approach to addressing concerns in good faith as we fulfill our duties as an
independent branch of government charged by the Constitution to give advice and consent on
judicial nominations made by the President. I've received blatantly frivolous referrals during the
past week. Out of respect for my colleagues, I've devoted committee investigative resources to
looking into those referrals, including one that was quickly recanted.
In addition, as it stands today, the FBI is conducting a supplemental background investigation of
current credible allegations against the nominee. The report is expected this week. This
supplemental investigation was requested by undecided member of both parties to help them
determine whether to support Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation. Am I to understand from your
request that all of you are reconsidering your opposition to Judge Kavanaugh depending on what
the FBI comes back with?
