DEMs only care about one thing. Delaying any vote on confirmation until after the mid-terms. At this point, I detect hesitation by the accuser to move forward. That leads me to believe there is nothing there and that she is being used as a pawn by the DEMs to derail the Kavanaugh nomination.
We will be able to quickly see how this plays out.
My prediction is that she will be a no-show on Monday and that Grassley will then proceed with the confirmation vote.
It will go nowhere. DEMs are in no position to demand anything.
Nope.
10…
And investigators know that the list of references is a list of people who will give good reports. So they get second and third references.
I had a neighbor with whom I had some trouble. Her husband slashed my tires, I am sure. But she worked Dept of Energy north of DC on I270. And she needed a clearance. I know she did not list me as a reference. And yet the investigators came and asked me questions. I am always honest so I told the investigator that we did not get along but that I knew of no information that would indicate that she was a security risk.
So if there was honest bad info out there regarding kavanaugh, the investigators would have found it.
Good question. No date, don’t know what party, don’t know what year, can’t even give an ‘estimated’ party or ‘estimated’ year. How can you ask, Mr. Justice, where were you on this date. The request for the FBI to investigate is a sham, they know it. Only meant to delay a vote.
What federal law did he allegedly break in ~maybe~ the summer of 1982? FBI investigates violations of federal law, crimes that local agencies request their assistance on, and crimes that cross state lines.
Witch of those apply for an FBI investigation into an alleged sexual assult?
The more I think about it and read different things on this, the whole notion of an FBI investigation seems completely asinine.
Well, the FBI could question Ford. And the FBI could question Kavanaugh. Just like the committee. The difference? Maybe after time spent in review through a series of supervisors the election would be here and Dems would maybe retake the Senate. That way, Dems could permanently block any nominee.
That’s whats to be gained.
Everyone knows it.
Dunno. Just answering the question.
One hopes the accuser will go to jail for making false accusations.
After this many years really all you can do is interview the 3 people she said were at the party. There were 2 other people there but she doesn’t remember who and after the incident didn’t tell them anything happened so they would have no reason to remember the party.
So at best you have 3 interviews and I expect after those you would get an inconclusive result due to lack of memory after 36 years.
Your list of what the FBI does is missing items. Couple of important ones.
Beside that, what are you upset with? The FBI? You know what they did once they received the information, right?
It’s highly unlikely that any investigation would produce any further knowledge.
espianage, background checks (and he’s had many), and the like as well.
My understanding it was placed in his background file and they said they wouldn’t investigate it further unless ordered to.
There ya go. Shame you left off the most relevant two the first time. They answer the question of OP.
Nailed it again.
So, what are we raging about?
Exactly. This is an attempt to delay the vote till after the election as payback for Garland.
The current senate will be able to vote until next year.
You and your realities.
I try to do my part.
What juristiction the FBI has to investigate a local crime 30 years ago. Still doesn’t fall into anything. They put the letter in his file. The alleged victim is saying she won’t speak to the committee until the FBI investigates. There is nothing they have jurisdiction to investigate. He’s gone through multiple background checks, the latest for he supreme court nomination.
