Something tells me the FBI could do this additional investigation in 24 hours given there is little to nothing for them to do. Its beyond stupid to think the DEM's would accept anything short of "Kavanaugh was found to have personally gang raped 1,623 women in high school".

- Do the investigation and report the results.
- Hold the vote and confirm Kavanaugh.
- Hire three large men to visit Flake and have them explain in great detail why what he did was wrong.

“The supplemental FBI background investigation would be limited to current credible allegations against the nominee and must be completed no later than one week from today,” the Senate Judiciary Committee said in a statement.

The Senate agreed by voice vote to make the nomination the pending business, meaning there will be no need for a weekend session.

Before the Senate turned to the Kavanaugh nomination, McConnell filed a cloture motion to limit debate on a House-Senate agreement on reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration, putting that legislation ahead of the judge in line for the floor schedule.

diff topic: many pages back I posted Judiciary Comm notes that there were 2 people claiming they were the ones who attacked Ford. Lindsey Graham said one of them was nuts and he didn't believe the other one.

In a nutshell, points out some stuff that the FBI MUST ask which would really tweak the Leftists. Worth the read.

Which I think is one of the ways we can be assured that he is innocent. If he was worried they would find anything he has to know that he could just say that the process is too much for him and his family and he is stepping down.

That he is still fighting shows me that he has nothing to hide.

Yup, I'm innocent, and since you maggots have dragged my name through the mud and have emotionally destroyed my loved ones, you think I'm going to back down, now? Let's take this all the way to the 15th round!

Yeah, he's a fighter. Trump's tweet about it was right on.

I might have missed it, but did anyone ask Dr. Ford why she didn't call the police if this horrible thing happened to her?

I'm not sure I trust the FBI to handle this.

How bad is the FBI going to look if they find something the seventh time they've done a deep background check that they missed the first six times?

I don't think they are going to let themselves look that bad.

I'm still waiting for the eggs to hatch before I start counting my chickens, but I suspect we'll be OK in the long run. We goddamned well better be.

Then, I pray to God we don't lose the Senate (I'll apologize in advance for Montana not being able to help in that effort as Max Baucus Jr. will likely be reelected) and that RBG buys the farm...soon.

And regarding the good Dr. Ford (I will not use hyphenated names), that woman is certifiably batshit crazy. And the funny, and scary, thing is, she is educated enough with a doctorate in psychology (of all things...imagine that) to know just what they were going to ask and just how to answer them to make herself look the profound victim that she wants them to think she is. Oh, she's good. Fucking crazy, but very good.

I have little doubt that that woman has been sexually assaulted at some point(s) in her past, but I suspect that she's spent enough time on her back that one would have to expect it. Not only is she crazy, but she's bought and paid for.

I am wondering too if the FBI will look into the fact his mother Judge Martha Kavanaugh, who was a state court Judge in Maryland, presided over a foreclosure of property owned by Fords parents. She had minimal to do with it, and it did not result in property seizure. Knowing how leftist are, and how petty they can be, I’m wondering if this her way of getting even, and giving him the finger.

absolutely, but the dems will never disclose that but will be an interesting factoid to have come out - I read about this a few weeks back and was pretty sure it would never have come out in Thursday's circus

Nonsense.
No one will come out as a love child because there is not one and it can be dismissed 100% lickity split with DNA.

All they can bring are washy accusations that neither can be confirmed either way all he said she said nothing more.

1) That's off-limits. You ask that of her, and in the eyes of Democrats, that's as good as saying it didn't happen. Which means you're an asshole misogynist.

2) It didn't happen, so it wasn't reported.

3) Allowing for the possibility that it did happen, she didn't see it as sexual assault at the time, for whatever reason.

A lot of women, especially young girls don't report, out of embarrassment or shame or fear. They are worried that parents will be mad, friends will no longer be friends, or people will look at them differently. Any of those are a tremendous incentive for a teenaged girl to keep her mouth shut.

There is so much churn in this thread that just replying to a post means it will show up pages later. So I won't do it.

Flake's insistence that the FBI conduct a one week investigation is just theater. It's meant to placate his base.

Imagine you're the FBI investigator tasked with this odorous chore. A "week" in government-speak is roughly 25 hours. In that time, can you:

• Compile an agenda
• Gather a list of people to be interviewed
• Assign a team (who aren't already working on cases)
• Schedule time with each interviewee
• Cull the results
• Present their findings

I thought not.

This is nothing more than a stall tactic. Trump wouldn't agree to it if he didn't know he had the upper hand. We are winning. Enjoy the show.

Former Employer Sued Third Kavanaugh Accuser For Sexual Harassment Allegations

https://dailycaller.com/2018/0...cuser-swetnick-sued/


Julie Swetnick, the third woman to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct in high school, faced allegations from her former employer that she engaged in “unwelcome, sexually offensive conduct” in 2000.
WebTrends alleged in a lawsuit that, after the company determined she had engaged in “inappropriate conduct,” Swetnick made “false and retaliatory allegations” of sexual harassment against two male co-workers.
Kavanaugh vehemently denied Swetnick’s claims, and her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, called the case “bogus,” pointing out that WebTrends dismissed its case.

The woman who charges she was gang-raped at a party where Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was present, Julie Swetnick, had a lawsuit filed against her by a former employer that alleged she engaged in “unwelcome, sexually offensive conduct” towards two male co-workers, according to court documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

WebTrends, a web analytics company headquartered in Portland, filed the defamation and fraud lawsuit against Swetnick in Oregon in November 2000 and also alleged that she lied about graduating from Johns Hopkins University.

Swetnick alleged Wednesday that she was gang raped at a party where Kavanaugh was present in the early 1980s. Kavanaugh has vehemently denied the allegation. (RELATED: Kavanaugh Breaks Silence On Avenatti Represented Accuser)

Swetnick is represented by Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels, who claims she had an affair with President Donald Trump.

WebTrends voluntarily dismissed its suit after one month. Avenatti told The Daily Caller News Foundation that the case was ended because it was “completely bogus.”

Swetnick’s alleged conduct took place in June 2000, just three weeks after she started working at WebTrends, the complaint shows. WebTrends conducted an investigation that found both male employees gave similar accounts of Swetnick engaging in “unwelcome sexual innuendo and inappropriate conduct” toward them during a business lunch in front of customers, the complaint said.

Swetnick denied the allegations and, WebTrends alleged, “in a transparent effort to divert attention from her own inappropriate behavior … [made] false and retaliatory allegations” of sexual harassment against two other male co-workers.

“Based on its investigations, WebTrends determined that Swetnick had engaged in inappropriate conduct, but that no corroborating evidence existed to support Swetnick’s allegations against her coworkers,” the complaint said.

After a WebTrends human resources director informed Swetnick that the company was unable to corroborate the sexual harassment allegations she had made, she “remarkably” walked back the allegations, according to the complaint.

In July, one month after the alleged incident, Swetnick took a leave of absence from the company for sinus issues, according to the complaint. WebTrends said it made short-term disability payments to her until mid-August that year. One week after the payments stopped, WebTrends received a note from Swetnick’s doctor claiming she needed a leave of absence for a “nervous breakdown.”

The company said it continued to provide health insurance coverage for Swetnick, despite her refusal provide any additional information about her alleged medical condition.

In November, the company’s human resources director received a notice from the Washington, D.C. Department of Unemployment that Swetnick had applied for unemployment benefits after claiming she left WebTrends voluntarily in late September.

“In short, Swetnick continued to claim the benefits of a full-time employee of WebTrends, sought disability payments from WebTrends’ insurance carrier and falsely claimed unemployment insurance payments from the District of Columbia,” the complaint states.

Swetnick allegedly hung up the phone on WebTrends managers calling to discuss why she applied for unemployment benefits, according to the complaint. She then sent letters to WebTrends’ upper management, detailing new allegations that two male co-workers sexually harassed her and said that the company’s human resources director had “illegally tired [sic] for months to get privileged medical information” from her, her doctor and her insurance company.

WebTrends also alleged that Swetnick began her fraud against the company before she was hired by stating on her job application that she graduated from John Hopkins University. But according to the complaint, the school had no record of her attendance.

An online resume posted by Swetnick makes no reference to John Hopkins University. It does show that she worked for WebTrends from December 1999 to August 2000.

It’s unclear what transpired after the complaint was filed against Swetnick. One month after WebTrends filed the action, the company voluntarily dismissed the action with prejudice.

The complaint against his client was “[c]ompletely bogus which is why it was dismissed almost immediately,” Avenatti told TheDCNF in an email. “The lawsuit was filed in retaliation against my client after she pursued claims against the company.”

WebTrends did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

In March 2001, three months after WebTrends dismissed its action, Swetnick’s ex-boyfriend, Richard Vinneccy, filed a restraining order against Swetnick, claiming that she threatened him after he ended their four-year relationship.

“She’s not credible,” Vinneccy told Politico. “Not at all.”

He entered the senate for wealth and power, and once Trump saw through that and called him out he was pissed. He figured he would spend the rest of his days getting rich in the senate and Trump took that away from him.

Maybe it was a nice cushy job offer when he leaves, maybe it was a "signing bonus" from CNN or MSNBC, who knows. He did it for the money, not because of those women.

Flake is the one who should be in investigated for corruption. His vote is for sale to the highest bidder.
