Donald Trump finally just said it: he doesn’t care if Christine Blasey Ford was telling the truth.

“I’m not going to get into it,” Trump said.

Trump turned the Republican subtext on Ford into text: Ford’s story — true or not — is not important.

Most Republicans have said they “believe” Ford, as in, they believe she is the victim of the kind of assault she described before Congress.

There were signs early on that Republicans were more interested in pushing Kavanaugh through quickly than sussing out his history.

The White House gave the FBI one week to followup and limited who they could interview, specifically excluding Kavanaugh and Ford.

The White House tapped White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Bill Shine to handle Kavanaugh’s prep work. »
