Kavanaugh accuser wants FBI investigation before hearing

[Hutch Starskey]

Of course. Anything to delay a confirmation vote. Outcome is irrelevant as long as this spurious demand delays the vote a little longer. Go ahead with this bs investigation but let's get on with the confirmation vote, as well.

What's the rush?

No rush. Let's go ahead and seat him on the SC, then they can investigate as long as they want to. What could be wrong with that?

Why would you seat a man who is accused of sexual assault without looking into it?
Does that seem responsible to you?

At this point, after he's been so thoroughly checked out by the FBI and there is no pattern of sexual abuse in his life (such as what we see in Bubba Clinton's life), there would have to be very clear and compelling evidence to overcome the obvious last minute partisan nature of the allegation. At the VERY least, one would expect the accuser to leap at the chance to tell her story in public. Instead, she's trying to dictate to whom she'll talk and who she'd allow to investigate her claims. It just doesn't work that way. One would also expect that the issue would have been raised during the hearing, when it was appropriate to ask questions. Waiting until now has severely, if not fatally, damaged the allegation.

So, minus more compelling evidence, Kavenaugh should be confirmed as originally planned. He has a great record and is eminently qualified, garnering praise from both sides of the aisle.

There doesn't need to ne a pattern of behavior for this incident to have occured as described.

Any compelling evidence might never come to light without an investigation.

Kreepy Kavanaugh is in a no-win situation - unless his name is completely cleared of sexual assault.

Actually, he is in a great position. His only accuser refuses to testify. He is going to sit on the Supreme Court at the start of next session. He doesn't lose at all here

No, she has NOT refused to testify. She just wants a thorough nonpartisan investigation before testifying. If she is lying about the Kavanaugh sexual assault allegation - why would she want a thorough nonpartisan investigation?

As of yet there was no response by her whether she will appear or not.

There is now.

"As the Judiciary Committee has recognized and done before, an FBI investigation of the incident should be the first step in addressing her allegations," Ford's lawyers wrote in a letter to committee chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley. "A full investigation by law enforcement officials will ensure that the crucial facts and witnesses in this matter are assessed in a non-partisan manner, and that the Committee is fully informed before conducting any hearing or making any decisions."

“She’s not prepared to talk with them at a hearing on Monday,” said Lisa J. Banks, one of Ford's lawyers. “No legitimate investigation is going to happen between now and Monday.”

Exactly as planned, because even her lawyer knows that the FBI doesn't investigate local matters.

You're a broken record. There's nothing to investigate.

 

[Desperado]

That appears to be a big no to her investigation request

 

[Hutch Starskey]

It's already cleared of sexual assault. He never did anything to this liberal POS.

So, women who dare to accuse a man of sexual assault are attacked as "pieces of shit"?

Gee,I woner why they don't alaways come foreward.

name any other woman who had less details on a sexual assault than her.

That means nothing. The allegation needs to be investigated.

And the local police will, if she files a complaint.

Except kavanaugh is up for a federal appointment. Any questions regarding his background should be handled by the federal agency who conducted his background investigation.

Liars don't ask for the FBI to investigate their stories...

Just sayin'...

The FBI doesn't investigate stories.

The FBI doesn't investigate things that don't violate federal law.

They conduct background investigations.

The precedent has already been set.

"I have known Brett Kavanaugh for 32 years, since I was 13 years old. He was the brother my sisters and I never had. We are so proud of him and his accomplishments. He is a brilliant, kind, considerate man. He does not deserve to have his good name ruined." - Amy Fahrenkopf

Here's how the FBI investigated Anita Hill's sexual harassment allegations against Clarence Thomas

Eh, and Kavanaugh underwent 6 background investigations. You think this would have come up in at least one of them?

This is a farce and you know it.

 

[jc456]

If there's nothing there...why NOT have an FBI investigation to show that??

we already have that. Six FBI background checks. never came up. victory for kavanaugh.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Ford’s lawyers released a letter to committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), CNN reported, calling for an investigation to “ensure the crucial facts and witnesses in this matter are assessed in a non-partisan manner and that the committee is fully informed before conducting any hearing or making any decision.”

Speaking with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday, attorney Lisa Banks reiterated that her client was “prepared to cooperate with the committee and with any law enforcement investigation.”

Christine Blasey Ford Calls On FBI To Investigate Kavanaugh Accusation Before Hearing

Good for her! Even Kavanaugh should want a thorough investigation - otherwise this cloud of doubt and suspicion will hang over him.

The FBI does not investigate allegations that are 40 years old that are not federal crimes nor should they

The statute of limitations on this alleged crime expired long ago hence it is no longer a matter for any branch of law enforcement

It wouldn't be a criminal investigation, fool.

why else would they be expected to investigate then?

Dude why do you wish to look so foolish for someone you don't know or affects your life? you're strange.

why else would they be expected to investigate then?

To find any and all facts related to the alleged incident, fool.

 

[basquebromance]

we can dump Kavanaugh and have an equally conservative nominee in 10 seconds. problem solved!

 

[jc456]

Too funny. The spammers are working hard

the dems have put up a scenario that *can't* be investigated so they demand it should be and by people they know are not the right ones.

why?

because it gives their sheep something to scream about and trying to stall til midterms.

Why can't it be investigated?

what year was it again?
who's house was it?
how did she get to the party? who drove?

she has given zero specifics other than 2 names, both of which have said it never happened.

it's also a local matter, not FBI. asking for FBI means you're stalling, not wanting justice. if you wanted justice, follow proper channels.

It's not about justice, fool.
It's about finding the facts.

there is no way to find anything. she doesn't remember. duh!!!!

Well certainly nothing will be found if there is no investigation.

dude, they did investigate. Six times. there wasn't anything there. what else can they investigate? they did it six times. at least tell me what needs to be investigated.

 

[deltex1]

My guess is that Schumer's next idea will be to have Dr Ford demand that agent Strzok be in charge of the FBI investigation.

what is the incident? And why does the fbi need to investigate? why does she need them to investigate ahead of her testimony? she's the person involved right? she should be telling them.

/——/ No we can’t do that. No reason for Kavanaugh to drop out. Libtards will do the same thing with the next appointee.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

I still can't believe that the Senate NaziCons want Dr. Ford to sit at the same table with Kavanaugh. Unbelievable.

Totally crazy how we want to give him due process and give her an opportunity to make her claim.

Funny how you don't want that. It's almost like you do t care about a fair hearing

Due process requires an investigation, fool.

it also puts burden of proof on the accuser, fool.

Sure. Backed with facts gathered by the FBI.
Why are you afraid of that?

Even if true, it isn't a federal issue. Furthermore, what facts are you going to gather 36 years later?

It is a federal issue, fool. Kavanaugh has been nominated for a seat on the supreme court.

[Hutch Starskey]

Where does she think they will find these "facts"? We're talking about what is essentially a thirty year or so old case of "she-said-he-said". Unless she has the proverbial blue dress hanging in her closet, photos, a corroborating witness, or a Disneyland ride line of women all making the same accusation, it's her word against his.

Now, don't misinterpret me, I'm not saying she's lying, and I'm not say he did or didn't do it. The fact is, none of us know, nor should we be drawing any conclusions based on unproven allegations. The fact that she apparently passed a lie detector test (inadmissible in a court of law) tells us one of three things, either she knows how to beat the test (given her education, entirely possible), or she believes what she is saying but is wrong and Kavanaugh wasn't involved (not beyond the realm of possibilities, people often remember events incorrectly), or it all happened the way she describes.

I'm curious as to why Professor Ford waited until now to speak out, why not torpedo his initial appointment to the bench?

At this point, I'm not caring one way or the other about his appointment.


I have a question for you, Lakhota: Are you even a little bit bothered by Diane Feinstein's withholding the letter, which all reports say she's had since July, until the 11th hour?

We do know. She's lying. That's as obvious as the sun rising in the East. You only help the barbarians by saying you don't know if she's lying.

So let the FBI investigate. Lying to the FBI is a felony.

There is nothing to investigate

No charges can be brought and this type of alleged crime is not the purview of the FBI

It's not a criminal investigation, dope.
It's a follow up to his background investigation.

because the background check didn't find it? why do they need to follow up a seventh background check for? what is it you think they'll find since they didn't six other times? why don't you ever answer?

This is a specific allegation. It needs to be investigated.

None of you can possibly know if this is valid or not.
