Has anyone been able to dig up any information about Ford's grandma? This one has just been taken at face value and haven't found any evidence in support of this story as of yet.
Talk about a red tsunami in Nov. The last thing the bad guys (in power) want is for him to turn up dead at this point. That is worse for them electorally and almost guarantees the next nominee can be as Conservative as Trump wants because the public will have no tolerance for this again considering the last hearing resulted in an assassination. He is not a one of a kind like Trump. There is political points in stopping the nomination of him. Past that it won't do them any good once he is confirmed.
The thing I don't get, is that if HRC had that much info at some point why didn't the bad guys just take her out. Sure she may have had a kill switch on the info, but basically she had control of everything and if she could be put in a compromising position by the good guys they all lose which is exactly what happened. Seems like the safe play would have been to stop it before it became too big a problem which is kind of standard operation for them anyways. Especially back in the day they controlled the press, so they could pin it on any right wing person they wanted and bury anything else as conspiracy.
