I assume you're aware of this, but if not, I'll state the obvious. There are whole sub-sectors of the litigation field dedicated to things like how to fine-tune jury selection, and how to make witnesses conform (in both manner and appearance) to the narrative you are crafting.

Lawyers have made their whole careers out of consultancy in these matters. It is no less a sub-specialty of trial practice than Intellectual Property or Tort Law.

Not true Joe. Cuz anything a woman says or does anymore is to be believed; outright and without equivocation.

he'll win by party vote, and it'll be harder for the demos to scream impeach, and hopefully Ford goes to jail. The dems were going to vote no regardless, in fact, they will keep voting no and stalling until after the midterms.

I'm waiting for demos to be like, j/k: this was just a job interview and we wanted to see how you'd work under pressure. You don't seem to handle stress well, hard pass.

Depends on the contents of the updated FBI background check file that is due to be given to the White House and Senators by Friday.
If it stays clean my guess is that two Democrat Senators will suddenly have a bout of the flu on the day that a vote finally takes place.
Based on that possibility my guess is 51-47

If the FBI actually comes up with credible backing for the ladies stories then all bets are off.

I am guessing that the FBI supervisor in charge of the background sat down with the actual field agents and told them in the strongest possible terms that if something gets leaked it better not point back to the FBI cause they need to stay squeaky clean on this matter.
The Democrat Senators will fall all over themselves to leak the report to the press within 5 minutes of getting a look and then claim political bias by the FBI for not finding anything.
Wouldn't that be a joke.

I'm still trying to understand why Mrs Feinstein would request the FBI report be kept private? They were the ones pushing for it and I assume were caught off guard how quickly Trump agreed.

I am reading some unconfirmed ***** about some possible collusion with the media. That would make sense with her wanting to keep it quiet.

Ketterer also revealed he was a victim of sexual abuse as a child.
Rumor has it he was forced to suck his mother’s tit when he was only a month old.... Oh the horrors!

I ask seriously. Recognizing that there is an inherent double-standard in this, I can picture the form of a threesome which consists of two women and myself, but am kind of turned off by the thought of being in a room with another naked guy and both banging the same girl. Can't explain why, this is just how it is.

Devil's threesome is not ideal and I do not recommend.

This is all theatrics.


Flakey and the others pretending to be fence-sitting are doing the standard, "I'll vote for what you want if you give me the pork project on this other deal I want for my district."

The Dems involved are just trying to appear to stand for something and get FaceTime on TV because they will need to be a reelected one day.

If there were no cameras this multi-day event would have been over in 20 minutes.
