(5,609 posts)When the "investigation" was announced last week, I knew it was a complete sham when the FBI were instructed to adhere to restrictions placed on them by the WH. Nothing more to be said, it's a cover up that under these restrictions will yield no corroborative "evidence" to support Dr. Ford's allegations.

You may win this skirmish but you won't win the battle.
And if it comes to war - the real Americans will win. Not your libertarian supporters.

(4,347 posts)will it still be hard as heck to find enough republicon votes to defeat this nomination? Every republicon on the ballot needs to feel the sting of defeat this November.

Yale friend tells WaPo he'll deliver to local FBI office a statement saying Kavanaugh was dishonest under oath - was "belligerent and aggressive" drunk, once threw a beer in a man's face, started "a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail." https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/administration-says-white-house-is-not-limiting-fbi-probe-of-kavanaugh-but-is-against-fishing-expedition/2018/09/30/aa7b796e-c4bb-11e8-b1ed-1d2d65b86d0c_story.html?utm_term=.5df35920a27b
Was thinking about this (above, his friend's run-in with the police, possibly as a result of his own aggressiveness) and any possible juvenile offenses or DUIs in the context of Kavaugh's sworn submission papers. If any run-in with the law exists in his record, even if it was wiped out, and he did not answer truthfully on his originally submission papers (which are filed under oath), then we may get into some interesting territory. The FBI can determine such things in a very short time-frame, in both Maryland (where Kav was a teen) and Connecticut (where he went to college and law school). In the same context, I wonder: why exactly, as a teen, was Kavanaugh performing community service? Or was he lying about doing community service work?

(18 posts)Per Trumps words... paraphrasing , Kavanaugh is tramatized from all of this attention he is getting. Really thats all we need to know, he cant handle being a Supreme Court judge at this point any thing that comes before him, a Democrat or a republican or a rape or an attempted rape or people wanting to testify will cause him to not be able to be neutral in the case and require him to recuse himself. Not sure at this point why he is still a nominee. He will be looking at every case he sits on as HE is the victim.
