that's just your opinion.
my opinion is there is enough current evidence, and the media is digging up more evidence every day.
Let's take a look at the evidence:
-Mark Judge references one of his drinking buddies was "Bart O'Kavanaugh", (almost certainly a reference to Brett Kavanaugh), Judge also talked about how he (and his friends) would lust over catholic girls from other nearby schools, and they would extensively party/binge drink.
-Ford supposedly has receipts/note of therapy she and her husband went through in circa 2012.
-Kavanaugh has already likely committed multiple instances of perjury, unrelated to this, which brings into question his ability to tell the truth.
that's enough for me to want a complete FBI investigation.
investigators tend to see things like times and locations as credible evidence, also things like alibis. not hearsay facebook status type "facts".
im glad you openly admitted to being a partisan hack in this very thread, its showing desperately with your stance here. you're an authoritarian hack.

The FBI isn't a private eye you can hire out to conduct whatever investigation you want willy nilly.
They conduct investigations into federal crimes. They conduct background checks for potential national security risks on appointees.
They have conducted 6 such background checks on Kavanaugh throughout his career as is routine, and an allegation of him getting handsy as a 17 year old, 36 years ago, has no relevance to US national security. The FBI does not investigate that sort of crap.They can't investigate it as a federal crime, because its not one, its probably doesn't even rise to the level of state crime even as alleged. Donald Trump does not possess the power to sic the FBI on someone without proper justification like evidence of a federal crime. He is a president, not a king, and cannot go out and command the FBI to open an investigation into Rosie O'Donnell tomorrow just because he doesn't like her.
The democrats aren't ignorant of this, Ford might be but she has the DNC behind her so its no mistake that she'd make an impossible request for an FBI investigation that can't be done.
There's only one reasonable explanation for her request: She's dodging. Avoiding testifying with a weak excuse.
Its still a long 5 days until monday. They might change their minds and decide to testify anyway. They might hitch their wagons to this excuse and try to throw a fit, in which case the nomination process will steam along unimpeded. But as of right now, what little credibility there was to the accuser and her lack of evidence and weak story just shot into astronomical readings on the bullshit-o-meter because she won't even go the Anita Hill route and testify to the senate, and gave such a transparent excuse. She's about as believable as Kim Dotcom right now
read this as many times as it takes to smarten you up, and turn off cnn.
