I just saw a man who was frustrated by the whole circus. He didn't say
he was afraid of the FBI. He only indicated that he also understood
this was simply trying to run out the clock.
Even my wife, who is no Trump or Kavanaugh fan said "Since when does
the person being investigated get to ask the FBI to investigate them"?
Booker just looked stupid asking that question over and over.
(certainly not "presidential" if that was where he was going)
They did make a good point. If this was really about getting to the
truth, why did Feinstein hold on to that for 60 days and not bring it
up in the confidential sessions of the vetting process. Also why
didn't the senate democrats want to participate in the committee
investigation. I hear Feinstein acting like she did not even know that
was going on. This was nothing but a cheap political trick.
I do bet, if Kavanaugh is damaged by this, it will see a court room
where there will be a thorough investigation and more people
testifying under oath. At that point Dr Ford will be in a lot more
hostile environment as the defendant.


Do you think Dr. Ford will be subject to libel or slander because of her
testimony? I would think Congressional testimony is protected by
absolute privilege.

As for Kavanaugh, he demonstrated he is a man out of control, and
unsuitable for the bench in any position. The purpose of the FBI inquiry
in this case would be to investigate questions and obtain information
that no one has, and get it from people who are under oath. The Repubs
and Kavanaugh are scared ****less of what might be turned up.

I would not be surprised if Kavanaugh gets rejected but it is not
because the Ford accusation was ever proved. They really do not have
anything but an uncorroborated memory of a 15 year old who really
can't remember much. It is just the perception.
I also think the next one Trump sends up will sail through, no matter
who it is.
As for whether Kavanaugh has a case, that is just up to the ambulance
chaser he hires but if what I saw today is any indication, they can
rip her apart in testimony where she is the target. Rachel Mitchell
was really starting to discredit her a few times when she was reminded
Ford was not on trial here. That would not be true in civil court
where little is out of bounds.
His future career might depend on destroying Ford tho and that is sad.
She might be better off if she admits the possibility it was someone
else and goes looking for that person. Maybe she can destroy some
CEO's life too. It would be a start if she could remember one other
person who was at this party.
I still blame the whole thing on Senate democrats who would not let
this work itself out in a private investigation 2 months ago and
preferred to try it in the press at the last minute, with the clock
ticking. Feinstein should have at least found out if there was anyone
else on the planet who could corroborate one thing this woman alleged.
Why didn't she tell the FBI about it when they were doing the initial
vetting or turn it over to the Senate investigators who were running
their own investigation.
