They have plenty of time to do a good investigation and the fact that BK has already lied to Senator Leahy alone should be cause to doubt his word. Mueller's investigation has already netted the taxpayer's $20,000,000 plus so it won't cost the public a dime.

I've read reviews from both sides on that - it's a stretch to call it perjury. Deliberately or not deliberately vague is not the same as perjury.

Now Professor Ford says she can’t make a hearing in Washington until at least next Thursday...because she’s afraid of confined spaces...
The GOP has been told that Ford does not want to fly from her California home to Washington, according to the Republican senator, which means she may need to drive across the country to make the hearing. Ford has reportedly told friends she is uncomfortable in confined spaces, indicating a physical difficulty in making the trip by plane.

OK guys, you take take this FWIW. I'm not sure how many of you know people who directly know either Ford or Kavanaugh. I talked to no less than seven people today who directly know one or the other. It's the same story over and over and over. Kavanaugh is described as the cleanest guy you've ever met. Seems like he's known for a long time that he wanted this path and lived the path that would get him here. Ford on the other hand had a reputation of being a VERY promiscuous girl in HS. I've heard stories just today that would make you doubt anything she had to say. These were from people that do not like Trump at all. That aren't staunch conservatives.

Based on the first person accounts I've heard, this is a political witch hunt. Period. End of story.

Watching the Left twist themselves into pretzels about this has been hilarious.

They went from "the FBI should investigate and interview all the witnesses", to "unless you were raped, how could anyone remember what happened at a party over 30 years ago"

Democrats poised to grill Brett Kavanaugh on drinking, partying in high school

Democrats are poised to ask questions about the drinking culture of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's high school when the judge faces the Senate Judiciary Committee following a sexual misconduct allegation.

"We want to hear — I would be wanting to hear what kind of environment it was in high school," Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, said Sunday during an interview with CNN's "State of the Union."

How many future potential SCOTUS nominees will turn down the opportunity if this is the level of questioning that they will face...the Dems are really setting a new standard...

I saw some comments to a Washington Examiner article, posted by a guy who said he knew her personally back then, which -- if true -- would tend to undermine her credibility (and that's an understatement). But these were comments by an anonymous poster, so you really can't take them to the bank.

She named 4 witnesses who she claims were there. All four have denied knowledge of the party or the incident. The only people who are supporting her at this point are the resist-Trump-at-all-costs partisans

If she’ll actually show up (I’d give that a 50-50 chance at this point) then she should be heard

But something tells me that at this point, this thing only still has life because of the lawyers representing her and the Dems who cant fish. Time to cut bait

Interesting discussion that Ford gave the letter originally to Rep Eshoo instead of Feinstein.

Giving the letter to Eshoo seems to be a way of working around getting in trouble if her statements bear out as false.

This entire exercise in ancient history - once upon a time "this happened"
is an embarrassment to the whole "me too" movement

However the movement is so myopic and self absorbed
it has no idea just how stupid it looks in broad daylight

:nod:

Which is ironicle
Because these are the very same people that say "Trump has no idea how stupid he looks"

Mitch McConnell takes a lot of heat from Republican voters and donors, but he's doing the smart thing politically to let this go on. As more facts come to light the accusations will just get less credible, and all the focus will be on the whole shitshow going into the midterms instead of endless "duurrrrrrrrrr da GOP hates WIMMIN".
