    This is close to what I want. I would prefer two weeks, but.... There is at least an effort to allow professionals to find leads which the Senate can turn into a witness list. Its very possible both are 100% sincere here. Assuming that Ford is telling the truth, if Kavanough cannot remember because he was drunk, and cannot imagine himself doing such a thing, then he is not knowingly perjuring himself. I think a case can be made that this one incident in high school should not be a deal-breaker. It does oblige the Senate to take a cursory look into the college ones as well though.

    Liberals delayed for nearly 2 weeks to order an investigation by the FBI that they previously claimed the FBI does not do?

    The D's asked for that investigation IMMEDIATELY.

    The sword cuts both ways, yes.

    It'll be interesting to see what happens, but the Donks will not stop at just one investigation by one agency.

    They'll demand witch hunt after witch hunt after witch hunt.

    Total depravity has been loosed.

    Of course, the entire thing's a sham; the People have no power no matter what happens.

    They did not alert the committee for about 2 months so this is just a stalling tactic by the left

    Remember like 3 days ago when all of the women were lying? And Kavanaugh was the victim of some con job? My god this president has a nasty habit of putting his dirty foot into his gob.

    You can't be serious, or you just haven't noticed certain details. What kind of denial is (loosely quoted): "I don't drink over whatever the legal limit is" while old documents talk about things like the 100 keg quest? Oh wait, that was "Bart O'Kavanaugh" right? LOL... He's a liar.

    Democrats, not the left, but yes - it is a stalling tactic.

    And just the next witch hunt.

    More will be demanded.

    Yup.

    Criminal conspiracy anyone?

    Feinstein - at the very least - should be removed from office.

    Appalling.

    https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a23511160/brett-kavanaugh-lies-about-everything/

    He lied about his days as a Republican operative, about the drinking age in Maryland, about the "Devil's Triangle." All of it.

    But it was already know he likes to lie :

    https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entr...ld-kavanaugh-lies_us_5ba020f6e4b013b0977defff

    Brett Kavanaugh: The answer to the first question, Senator, is no. This was not one of the judicial nominees that I was primarily handling.

    But newly released emails show that Kavanaugh appeared to be the primary person handling Pickering’s nomination, at least by 2003, and was heavily involved in pushing for his confirmation as early as March 2002. There are emails showing that Kavanaugh coordinated meetings with and about Pickering; that he drafted remarks, letters to people on the Hill and at least one op-ed for then-White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales about Pickering; that he advised Gonzales on Pickering strategy; and much more.

    One Department of Justice official even asked for Kavanaugh’s “blessings and instructions” before calling the nominee.

    Others may have been involved, but Kavanaugh played a decisive leadership role in managing Pickering’s nomination and then lied to me about it.

    I do, though if it were a criminal case I wouldn't be at "beyond a reasonable doubt" that Kav did it given what I know so far. Then again, that standard is too high for this situation and more information may come out now that it will be investigated by actual investigators, and not hacks in the senate.

    Not a conspiracy... more like a circus act. Sure hope it backfires. I'll laff and laff. ;)
