Do they, doc? You sure about that?
Christine Ford’s new excuse for not testifying is, she wants the FBI to investigate Kavanaugh before she testifies.
See: Christine Blasey Ford Wants F.B.I. to Investigate Kavanaugh Before She Testifies
Sept. 18, 2018
”Speaking through her lawyers, Christine Blasey Ford did not explicitly rule out appearing next Monday before the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify along with Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh. But echoing Senate Democrats, she said an investigation should be “the first step” before she is put “on national television to relive this traumatic and harrowing incident.”
But the real reason seems to be, her lawyer probably told her anyone who knowing lies to Congress, especially one who is under oath, is guilty of perjury and shall be fined or imprisoned up to five years,

The unavoidable truth is, the Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’, Andrew Gillum and Ayanna Pressley’s socialist plan for “free” college tuition will be paid for by taxing millions of college graduates who worked for and paid their own way through college and are now trying to finance their own economic needs.

Since when does an individual dictate how the process will work. She has 7 days. The FBI has said its will not investigate. I wonder who is really schooling her on what to do. The FBI should investigate that. Democrats should be embarrassed by the actions of some of their elected officials.
Maybe then Trump Jr should have retained her lawyer.

Actually the FBI said “no comment”…not that it wouldn’t investigate.
Also they would have to investigate if so ordered by President Trump…like when he ordered up a background check before he nominated Mr. Kavanaugh.
Once again you’re just echoing what’s been fed to you and not bothered to check it out yourself.
Ford’s Lawyer, Debra Katz, is one piece of work, and probably using Ford to accomplish the Democrats obstruction and delay tactics.
”According to the Post, Ford initially refrained from revealing the alleged information of a horrendous sexual assault due to privacy concerns for herself and her family. But she thought it was her duty to come forward on the record after the advice of Washington lawyer Debra Katz. Katz, however, has a long history of dismissing sexual assault allegations against liberal politicians, donating to left-wing causes, and even publicly demonizing all Trump advisors as "miscreants" who are worse than deplorables.”

The Democrat Party Leadership’s offer for free government cheese is really not free. It first addicts and then enslaves participants on an iron fisted socialist run plantation.
All SC nominees must be investigated. It is not ordered by the President. The FBI did say they would not be investigating the claim. I actually do not know what there is to investigate. There is no memory of when or where this occurred but the accusation alone is enough. Hope it never happens to you. There is so much more but I think it would be wasted to go on.
You said they said they WOULDN’T investigate the claim.
They didn’t say they wouldn’t…they said “no comment”.
And they would HAVE to do an investigation…even one that went nowhere…if so ordered by President Trump.
And the President’s staff odes indeed order up background checks on all its nominees or potential nominees…it’s not something that automatically happens.
So Trump’s hands aren’t tied, as he tried to pretend they were. If he wanted an investigation, he could order one.
I’m not saying they should or shouldn’t investigate.
I’m simply telling you you were lied to about it.
She’s been getting death threats.
I wonder how all rape victims are feeling tonight…how libs have used rape accusations as a political weapon?

I have been lied to many times so I try to sift through the rubble. I do know they have to investigate all SC nominees. I also never said the Presidents hands were tied. He could order it. That is separate from the fact that they did say they would not investigate this claim but they did refer it to the White House as part of their overall package on Cavanugh.
Perhaps they’re more pissed off that women who haven’t been raped - or wait 37 years to make an accusation - will make it harder and harder for legitimate victims to get justice.
According to the articles I read, she never mentioned it at the time.
Her claims should have been dismissed out of hand. This is very different from all the women who came out against Trump who had documented evidence that they accused him at the time that the events occurred.
How could they even remotely prove that she is lying?
Wait, she doesn’t want to testify before Congress because she would perjure herself, but she wants the FBI to investigate the matter which would likely include them interviewing her…in which she would not lie?
From the attached article
"The Justice Department seems to agree. In a statement, a Justice Department spokeswoman said the FBI — which has added a letter from Christine Blasey Ford to Kavanaugh’s already completed background report file — had already done all it was going to do, because “the allegation does not involve any potential federal crime.”
What exactly would the FBI be investigating? Are they going to go to the house to see if there is any physical evidence? Do they have the authority to supena everyone who was supposedly at this party? Lastly how would the FBI prove if someone is lying here?
Hmmm…interesting- and smart move on Blasey Fords part. She would get eviscerated. The Senate will now have to confirm him without her testimony- which they should be able to do. But it will cost them by looking like they are ignoring sexual abuse in a MeToo environment.
Maybe she should have just taken an aspirin and shut up huh?
Or maybe it was god’s will?
More conan gaslighting

They didn’t say they wouldn’t investigate this claim.
They offered no comment on it.
Ford is an anti Trump political activist. She understands as well as any member of this forum that the real goal is to delay until after the election in the hopes that Democrats take the Senate. The only way to do this is to start an investigation with the FBI that will take at least a month or more.
If she is so concerned about an FBI investigation she could have contacted them when the nomination first occurred.
