That's what I wanna know. If they investigate Ford's accusation, but not anyone else's, then where are we? Flake used the term "allegations" in the plural, if I'm not mistaken. We'll see if that holds up, though. I am sure that neither McConnell nor any other GOP leader wants Michael Avenetti and his client within 500 miles of this process.

Burgold Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Color me both surprised and a bit more hopeful. I still feel like America is in the intensive care ward, but at the very least the decision to remove the breathing tube was put on hold. Thank you Senators Flake and Murkowski. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2016 a Federal judge ruled that lie detectors serve a legitimate purpose for hiring and for law enforcement. That judge who made that statement was [checks notes] Brett Kavanaugh. Of course, nobody in the hearing knew that yesterday. But kavanaugh knew, which is why he was specific in saying "federal investigations". He's a smart guy.

Glad you noticed that, cuz I did too. But I'm curious what officially was in the motion. Because Coons said, "all allegations before the committee". Only Ford's allegation is before the committee. Unless I'm taking "before the committee" too literal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something Seth Abramson was saying on twitter is that the FBI doesn't really take direction on how limited vs. not limited their scope is on background checks. That is, they cannot be instructed to only look in on Ford's accusation and not on Ramirez's or Swetnick's. If they have tips, they will follow them until they cease to be credible. Now, I'm not sure if that's 100% accurate but it sounds interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since you brought him up, I will say that it is very ironic to hear Blumenthal question someone’s integrity. Remember he claimed to have served in the military in Vietnam but never did and got caught. I say you did. You say you didn't. So it's a he said-he said. We'll just have to agree to disagree. Tell you what. I'll give you a week to conduct an investigation by searching back through the thread to figure out who it was that mentioned him. I would do it but it would be too soul-sucking for me to relive these last couple of days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) What about Kavanaugh's drinking? Surely he hasn't stopped since he was nominated. And all of his lies under oath? Edited September 28, 2018 by LadySkinsFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hunch that the DoJ will direct them to open the investigation but make sure there's fine print making the allowed scope very restrictive.
