ANTHONY KENNEDY IS RETIRING!

Do you think Dr. Ford’s attorney will even allow her to meet with the FBI?

Yes, she is available in 8 days.

I assume the FBI will now question Dr Ford and heaven forbid she get a detail wrong about anything, even if it has nothing to do with the investigation. Then I'm sure they'll be charging her with a Felony a la Flynn...right? I mean that's why we're having the delay, right to see if we can charge her with perjury. Flawed memory or PTSD is no excuse. I assume if the Feds think she's lying they'll hand it over to the US Attorney for prosecution, right? On the other hand they have no jurisdiction over sex crimes in Maryland from 1982, so I assume they'll be passing that off to the Montgomery County (MD) DA. Of course, we're not even sure he has jurisdiction, since the crime can't be credibly placed in time or in the County.

What's the FBI going to assume when PhD. Ford makes a statement that says it happened, and Kavanaugh as well as a host of others makes statements that it didn't? There's no evidence that anything happened. How can there be a legitimate outcome of an investigation other than "inconclusive, no evidence for or against"? Is the FBI about to go "Oops, we missed this on the previous 4 or 5 background investigations we've done on Judge Kavanaugh. Our bad."?

Correct. A delaying tactic while the creepy porn lawyers and Democrats (sorry, I repeat myself) dredge up more fake victims.

[03Lightningrocks]

I am not surprised. Dems are playing more games.

Not just that but what scope is the "investigation" to take? Investigate just the "Ford" accusations or investigate all the accusations, even the ridiculous ones.

Per the senators of both parties during the committee vote, the scope was limited to only the three extant accusers: Ford, Deborah Ramirez, and Julie Swetnick. If Democrats try to expand that scope (I have no doubt they’ll try), that would be a violation of the agreement THEY demanded. If they do try to expand the scope, I imagine that Mitch McConnell will cut to the chase and schedule the floor vote on confirmation - blowing through the democrat obstructionism.

Swetnick is the one represented by #CreepyPornLawyer. She’s by far the least credible accuser. She talks about high school gang-rape parties, which she says she attended as an adult college student - in itself legally troubling. She says she attended 10 such parties. If she was observing gang-rape at the first one, why on earth did she go back to 9 more? She has also talked about rape parties on boats, etc., etc. Upon inspection, we find that she’s such a whack job that her former BF filed a restraining order against her for stalking and threatening his wife and children. Her accusation is so looney as to be absurd.

Deborah Ramirez alleges that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a Yale party. To date, there are no known corroborating witnesses, so it’s very much a she said / he said matter. In other words, it’s unprovable.

Also, since yesterday, Kavanaugh’s high school buddy Mark Judge - claimed by Ford to be a witness of her attack, and which Judge denies - has announced that he will make himself available to the FBI investigation.

Okay, I would normally put this in the meme thread, but this fits this thread so much better. I think I win the internet with this one.

It's my understanding that in MD, until 1996, the acts that Dr Ford alleges would have been a misdemeanor, with a 1-year statute of limitations.

Doesn't make the act, if true, any less egregious. But, it does make it unprosecutable today.

This stuff is getting out of hand. Sorry for those of you without facebook. It's a post about showing a Kavanaugh protester being paid for disrupting the hearing.

The confirmation hearing became a ridiculous freak show. Where's Jerry Springer to heat it up a bit?

The one week extension may not be all bad:

But, a late afternoon headline in a northwest Indiana newspaper shines a glimmer of a doubt on Senator Donnelly’s commitment to a no vote. He told the newspaper’s editorial board that now he’s willing to wait for the FBI’s report before making a final decision. In other words, Donnelly has moved from a no vote to a maybe.

Assuming the supplemental background check comes back with nothing, this gives Collins, Murkowski, and possibly some democrats in states that Trump won cover to vote yes.

We can still all agree that no matter what the outcome of the fbi investigation is, there is still a crowd that will claim he’s guilty. Hell if ford came out and said that the whole thing was a farce, there would still be a crowd claiming he’s guilty.
