Did you think there was a statute of limitations here?It's not?In the Kavanaugh hearing regarding the very serious allegations of sexual assault?
The FBI was called on during the Clarence Thomas hearings to investigate the accusations made by Anita Hill.
That is how this is done. In fact Orin Hatch REQUESTED that investigation in that case, He KNOWS that is the "regular order".
What are they afraid of?
Not regular order when you've already had 6 THOROUGH FBI checks and several clearance updates by the FBI. Also not anything the FBI can address because there are no potential criminal charges due to statute of limitations.
FBI is NOT a political tool. Have her hire a private investigation team. You Dems need to stop thinking that the FBI is your personal Gestapo..
But it was in the Thomas hearing.
Odd huh?
were they investigating a 36 year old 'crime' in the Thomas case?
There is not
And further...what does that have to do with anything anyway.
Are you saying it's OK to confirm a SCOTUS Justice to a LIFETIME appointment even if you knew he had attempted to rape a woman 36 years ago?
There is no stature of limitations for attempted rape in Maryland...DUMBASSNot from 40 years ago dumb ass.In fact it's possible that were he confirmed...we might be treated to the "joy" of having a sitting Supreme Court Justice brought up on charges of attempted rapeIf Senate Republicans don't treat Dr. Ford with a reasonable degree of fairness and respect, she may feel compelled to file a criminal complaint against Kavanaugh in Maryland which could trigger a criminal investigation. This was discussed by Rachel Maddow earlier tonight.
Then let her!Not for something from 40 years ago with NO physical evidence no list of witnesses no location listed. Further it was a local matter between TEENAGERS. Any possibility it had a criminal component is null and void by statute of Limitations to boot.In the Kavanaugh hearing regarding the very serious allegations of sexual assault?

Well, sparky, it was a local matter then - but it's a federal matter now. Dr. Ford can still file criminal charges in Maryland.
An investigation would show if he was at that party. If anyone saw him take Professor Ford into that bedroom...what her state was on returning...It is not any matter as all it is is she said he said. Further the statute of Limitations is LONG past. You can not charge a man with a crime that happened 40 years ago past any reasonable time period for statute of limitations.Not for something from 40 years ago with NO physical evidence no list of witnesses no location listed.

How DRUNK he was. What he said and acted like when he left that bedroom..
There were other people at that party and that is EVIDENCE
And then there is the problem of him claiming NOT to be at a party where this occurred. His denial alone if it turns out he was there...is damning.
And an investigation would show this...or clear him.
He ought to be DEMANDING this...if he didn't do it
Good Lord. Why should someone admit to something they say they didn’t do??Kavanaugh would have been better off if he had just admitted it and moved on.

Who's telling you all this crap?? First of all, it wouldn't BE rape. They were BOTH WAAAAY underage. So MAYBE who ever told you there was no statute of limitations was speaking out of their ass. Could be different for UNDERAGE sex acts between minors....
Really. Who are the morons feeding you? Fire them. Get new morons..

Regular Order, in so far as a Senate committee's "advise and consent" Constitutional responsibilities are concerned, come in the form of Senate rules of order and established committee precedent and custom. Regular Order of the Senate Judiciary Committee includes an additional FBI background check if necessary under certain circumstances.Not regular order when you've already had 6 THOROUGH FBI checks and several clearance updates by the FBI.

That precedent was established in 1991 when the Judiciary Committee reopened their hearing to hear Anita Hill's testimony and ordered an additional FBI background check which took a whooping 2 1/2 days to complete. It is recorded in the Senate committee records and memorialized on video of how both Grassley and Hatch clearly stated the absolute necessity of FBI background checks of all parties involved in the allegations. Now ~27 years later, Hatch and Grassley seem to have conveniently forgotten about the precedent they argued for and established. I wonder why????
The number of previous background checks for other government positions are NOT relevant other that to help with yielding additional background material, your surmise, notwithstanding. What one believes from the propaganda mill is one thing, but propaganda has a distinct problem of being at odds with fact and truth!

File Away...
Slate Citing Senators Citing SlateGawd, what's that smell? Incredible how these corporate apologists squirm faced with one little woman's allegations and pending testimony! Perhaps this is just the tip of the iceberg? They sense an impending avalanche? Uh oh, what's this now?:
The Evidence Is Clear: Brett Kavanaugh Lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee
This Alleged IncidentLakhota said:Well, sparky, who's trying to confirm him to SCOTUS? Who nominated him? Plus, Kavanaugh is already a fed on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
