well at least she got the same lawyer as Andrew McCabe, who leaked stories to the WSJ, lied to FBI investigators three different times, and falsely accused other officials of committing the leaks he himself had done

If the FBI conducted an investigation into this and determined no wrongdoing, it would clear his name. It would also set an important precedent and deliver a blow to Demcrats in the midterms.


.


It is a 30+ year sexual assault case where she told nobody until the 2000s and then it was a husband and a therapist

There is nothing to find and just because they will come up empty doesn't clear him in opposition eyes and you also can't call a lack of evidence something that will punish dems or prove wrongdoing or malice by them

She has a place to make a complaint
She has a place to tell her story

The FBI shouldn't be used by either party this way in cases like this.

Feinstein's whole gambit is exactly what's written out in that picture I just posted.

By accusing Kavanaugh, they have created a situation where he is guilty until proven innocent, which he can never prove. IMO she should be removed from office.



/e That's China or Russia shyt, that ain't the way the USA works.

If there's not enough information to make a decision one way or another, that's pretty easily and quickly discovered. It's obviously not a criminal investigation, but the bar should be and would be be set very high to find Ford's claims credible.

Interview the parties involved and see if there anything to the claims. Should take a few days, max, based on the estimates I've seen. Could have already occured and would probably be concluded before next Thursday.

The reason why the GOP refuses an investigation to occur is obvious - they know there is a legitimate chance Ford's claims are accurate. The timing and content of their letter response after the initial reveal indicates that.

The Democrats need to release the original letter Ford sent to Feinstein. Also I would bet that after any hearings that we wont have anymore relevant information. He said she said is not sufficient. This is complete political smear campaign.

Worth noting that this is exactly where we were on Monday morning— without agreeing to a date, time, and terms we are no closer to hearing from Dr Ford then we were when her lawyers said Dr. Ford was willing to testify during their media tour

Or it could be the fact that an investigation could take long enough so the Republicans no longer have the Senate majority. The longer the investigation takes the longer scumbag news outlets like CNN can spam "news" and influence plebs into voting against "the party that defends sexual assault".

Honestly, I feel like we're in the twilight zone. Like wtf is there to investigate? She'll get up there and talk about how she's been traumatized for the last 35 years because some drunk guy groped her when they were teens at a party? Fuck me, what a world we live in when this is enough to completely destroy a person.

If this is the precedent like 98% of guys in this world should be looking over their shoulder if they ever run for office. I know personally in my past, i've had enough relationships that at least one of these chicks might be willing to be a spiteful bitch 20 years later just to fuck me over.
