Kavanaugh has a legal background AND is being prepared by top notch lawyers for Monday's interview. Ford has no chance against?
Them even if she tells the truth. Is she right to insist on an FBI investigation to support her claims? The SC can do with only 8 justices for a while.
What would the FBI investigate. The only witness acknowledging the alleged crime has can't even give basic details and her story is not consistent.
What she alleges happened isn't even a federal crime and there's no evidence and she doesn't even know what year it happened.
You sure are gullible.
You keep believing that.
Absolutely right, she has no chance, and if she really wanted a chance than she should not have waited so long to make these accusations.
But we all know this is not about sexual harassment, it's all about delaying the Kavanaugh confirmation, until after the mid terms, when the democrats feel they will control the Senate.
She's going be a no-show. Collins basically confirmed her support for Kavanaugh, and now that George W. Bush and his wife issued a statement in support of Kavanaugh today, all other Cons will be supportive as well.
There should be no rush to get Kavanaugh on the Court. We've seen from the unfortunate example of the disgraceful Republican treatment of Merrick Garland that the Court can operate with 8 justices.
This matter should be investigated.
It's a lost cause. The GOP is not interested in what Kavanaugh may have done. They want to rush this through, no matter what. But it will come back to haunt them. This issue will always be a stain on Kavanaugh's career.
You don't think the DNC is proving her with very expensive attorneys?
I wonder what kind of dirt would be found on Ford if she was subjected to an FBI investigation. Maybe that's the investigation Trump should order.
- Why did Christine Blasey Ford have zero problem being interrogated by lawyers but William Barr refuse to allow it? Is it because she has nothing to hide and was telling the truth but Barr is a liar? There's evidence that Brat the Rat Kavanaugh lied about boofing and Devil's triangle but no evidence that Blasey Ford lied. Barr lied about not knowing why Mueller's staff expressed frustration about Barr's account of the Mueller Report when in fact he had received a letter from Mueller expressing dissatisfaction about Barr's account of Mueller's report.
- Now, as Kavanaugh has been confirmed, which legal or institutional opportunities will he have to retaliate for Christine Ford's allegations? She said she would have to flee to New Zealand if Kavanaugh was confirmed, so evidently she feared that he would try to revenge himself on her.
- Is the FBI waiting to interview Ford until they have more info, or avoiding interviewing her because they don't wnat to interview Kavanaugh? If they interview Ford, they will have to interview Kavanaugh as well. Are they avoiding it because they don't want to put Kavanaugh in further legal jeopardy?
- In the end, will it just come down to how big a hit with female voter the repbulicans are prepared to wear in order to get their man through? Ford's testimony was credible and compelling, the prosecutor they hired was unable to find anything that damaged it. They know that by ignoring it they will make a lot of women, many of them silent victims of sexual assault themselves, angry and alienated from the party. They have to weigh this up against getting this political hack on the bench. It won't be the investigation, but this calculation that determines if they push him through
