The SCOTUS confirmation circus has begun....
Look at Booker and his epic Spartacus moment. I think he was bucking for an Oscar or an Emmy. And he said Kavanaugh over reacted, huh?

Yes, but it hasn't reached 'epic' status. Ruth Buzzy's demise is going to throwh 1/3 of this country completely over the edge and into mass psychosis, the likes we've never seen before. Stay tuned....

Was just hearing Hannity state Feinstein doesn't want the FBI findings to be made public.

Now I wonder why that could be, things that make you say "hmmm."

It is becoming apparent that Collins will never be satisfied.

Well... maybe she and Lisa Murkowski should be invited to the White House for dinner...
Trump may be able to satisfy persuade them.

I don't buy into this crap that the Republicans will get crushed in November if Kavanaugh does not get nominated. It's time to vote and see who stands with them dems. The entire Republican voting block is not going to punish Trump for what a few Rino's do they will remember the Rino's when their time is up.

I think the Dems in tight red state races will lose either way they vote on Kavanaugh.

It's time to flesh this out.If Kavanaugh don't make it that will be tragic but next up.

Her statement on this:

"It would seem to me that if people are going to be identified, this ought to be held very close."


But McConnell also backs this up, confirming that the report will be seen only by Senators.

In this American Thinker piece, it is suggested that McConnell is going to use the report as leverage against those committee members that might have been exposed in the report, but also Ford and her lawyers as well.

Yep.

I am not OK with the level taken to destroy this man for the lust of power.

He is a single man that is "all of us who oppose the GDCs", put yourself in his place, because if they are not stopped, we will all be Kavanughs.

I know what you're saying but these Senators know how they are going to vote by now. There is going to be nothing in the FBI report that is going to exonerate Kavanaugh or prove Fords story.
No ones mind will be changed it will only lead to the Collins et al will need one more thing.
More delay and more bull shit. Time to force some hands and get the cards on the table.

I agree with both sentiments to a point.

What has happened to Kavanaugh, and in turn the good people of this country who need him on the court, is despicable and should not be forgiven or forgotten.

But time is ticking and nobody is changing their minds. This investigation was never about that either. This investigation, holding Fords accusation, lying about her fear of flying, all of it has only ever been about stalling as long as they can in hopes they can get past midterm elections. It is time to vote so that if Kavanaugh is not confirmed there is still time to try for another one. If we get past the elections and the Dems have won then we will lose this chance. The RINOs will never confirm anyone then and instead say that "the people have spoken" and agree with the dems that we should delay.

The fact is that the democrats have won every battle up until now by delaying at every turn for as long as they have. We need to stop fighting weekly battles and win the war.

Yes, but the victim of the affair was a pig who had the decency to not kiss and tell, and avoid statements to investigators.

Yeah I also think that the senators already knew how they'd vote.. the FBI thing was just a cover. With the exception of Collins, I think we'll have 50 solid GOP votes + WVa (Manchin) + ND (Heidi) + MT (Tester) = at least 53.

Wouldn't it be a shame if the FBI report gets leaked like everything else? Any way The Donald could declassify it?

^^^ I can dig it, but do we really want Republicans leaking the FBI report at a time when it would be nice to nail Diane Feinstein to the barnyard door for leaking Ford's letter?

Nobody gets nailed for leaking in DC.

Information is power. Using it wisely is how one rises in that arcane society.

Remember, it’s an irregular verb.

I give confidential press briefings.
You leak.

ford lawyers latest move



From everything I have read, the extension of the FBI interviews was never intended to include Ford and Kavanaugh.

Many, many people just assumed they would.

Grassley had asked for therapy session reports, copies of audio/video of the poly, and copies of all written, audiovidual, or electronic material related to the Ford allegations that were provided to news media.


during the hearing, Ford repeatedly said she wanted the FBI to tell her when Mark Judge worked at the supermarket. She had seen Judge there 6 to 8 weeks after the incident and could use that to better say when the incident occurred.

I understand why DEMs want to force Kavanaugh to drop out (and they don't care if they ruin the life of an outstanding man), but I can't understand how the 3 REPs can be so blind.

The answer must be some combination of a) they hate Donald Trump, and b) they know if they vote for Kavanaugh - they are saying Ford lied. In all the recent sexual assault claims, Ford is the woman w the highest social status / education level. It would be a heavy blow to the me/too crowd. The fact that they are still "thinking about it" means they are willing to sacrifice an honest and noble man.

As I said earlier, nobody is getting in any trouble for this. Not Ford, not Feinstein, not anyone at all.

Anyone hoping for anything more than Kavanaugh being confirmed is in for a real disappointment.
