Well I suppose those will continue regardless. I'm just trying to figure out if the delay is in good faith, or if it's just a sabotage.


BREAKING: GOP Reach Agreement on How to Proceed on Kavanaugh After Jeff Flake Drama

Update: The Senate Judiciary Committee released a statement saying they will request that the administration instruct the FBI to conduct a supplemental FBI background investigation with respect to the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court.

Judiciary Cmte: The supplemental FBI background investigation would be limited to current credible allegations against the nominee and must be completed no later than one week from today.

12:57 PM - 28 Sep 2018

Not sure what to make of. Perhaps it can work. Sure hope so. I guess they want to take the "no FBI investigation" argument off the table. Are they going to investigate Ford as well?

Wondering if all the so-called witnesses that Ford is using that are denying her story, if they repeat their denials that they were at the party or deny that the assault never occurred, or deny that Kavavaugh was at the party--I wonder if she will be charged with perjury?

They said credible eyewitnesses, there were none, so lets go to vote!

They said, "current credible witnesses." Wonder what that means?
The Fbi can ONLY look at the so called eyewitnesses that testified in the Senate hearing, and not be using a big scoop to gather as many new accusers as they can! Wonder what happens if trump does not order Fbi to do this?

It already ahs been played out, as the eyewitnesses against the Judge are basically worthless, as none of them would be even allowed to testify in an open court, as case would have been thrown out!

That's a matter of opinion. My view of Kavanaugh diminished as I watched his evasiveness during his testimony. I found Ford much more credible than I expected.

...as none of them would be even allowed to testify in an open court, as case would have been thrown out!
This is not a legal case, this is a job interview. This is a question of character.

This is evasiveness?

"The truth is that I have never sexually assaulted anyone—not in high school, not in college, not ever."

"I never did anything remotely resembling what Dr. Ford describes."

"I categorically and unequivocally deny the allegation against me by Dr. Ford. I never had any sexual or physical encounter of any kind with Dr. Ford."



He was evasive when he was repeatedly asked to request an FBI investigation. But that's about the only time he was. And rightly so. It's not up to him to request an FBI investigation.

If I were to criticize his appearance I would say he came off as too angry. Also, he couldn't think on his feet as adeptly as I would have liked. He had all the justification to be angry in his opening statement but he should have toned it down a bit, IMO. But if I were grading him I'd give him an A-.

It's not a job interview. That's a leftist talking point. It's an investigation.

How many times has Judge K been the subject of a FBI background check.

That's what I was referring to, and that's the crucial issue. Why doesn't he want the FBI to look at the allegations and potentially clear his name? I would demand it.

I have been falsely accused of things on several occasions and I have insisted that things be brought to a resolution by demanding an investigation. Each time I was vindicated and the shadows of doubt were lifted.

And rightly so. It's not up to him to request an FBI investigation.
Sure it is. He can't personally authorize one, nor legally demand it, but he can certainly ask the committee or the President to do it. If he even requested it, that would have resolved a lot of my concerns. A man who is willing to let people investigate him is a man who has nothing to hide.

If I were to criticize his appearance I would say he came off as too angry. Also, he couldn't think on his feet as adeptly as I would have liked. He had all the justification to be angry in his opening statement but he should have toned it down a bit, IMO.
I agree. It seems like he either has anger issues or holds contempt for others. We do not need a judge who holds contempt in his heart toward persons and institutions that appear before the Court. His inability to control himself and moderate his emotions concerns me. It's fine to be passionate, but we went well beyond that.

It's not a job interview.
It absolutely is. He is being interviewed for a role on the nation's highest court.

That's a leftist talking point.
If something is true, it is true. Facts are not beholden to the person who states them. They have an existence, even if they are never stated or discovered.

It's an investigation.
I agree. It is also an investigation.

I’m wondering if they’ll investigate who leaked her letter to the press.

That's it, the whole thing is over - I doubt very much Judge Kavenaugh will be confirmed now. Time is running out and the Dems are getting their way with delay, after delay, after delay. There will be a never ending call for an investigation of this accuser and that accuser. It's over folks, the Dems have won.
