Official Brett Kavanaugh Thread, Part 3

[Anonymous]

Whatever you believe there is one thing I take away from this:

I'm scared to live in a world where we will believe something just because someone says it (whether you believe Ford or Bk). There is literally no proof in either direction. No witnesses really saying anything substantial on either side.

But regardless half are believing one side and the other half are believing the other side. With literally no proof. Am I the only one who finds this terrifying?

Because?

I mean, the only reason he came up was because:

Ed Whelan tried to blame another guy, but it was a guy she was friends with and close to.

This whole Judicial Network thing needs to be investigated as well.

-I thought they, the FBI, had considered and decided no. I brought this up yesterday but it got lost in the massive Part 2 thread.
-as I’ve heard legal experts suggest (liberal ones too!), the FBI doesn’t judge on the matter. You will still have 98% probability that no conclusion will be made. The 2% chance is worth it I suppose but as I heard someone on LRC put it, the FBI isn’t “magical.”
-what is their exact jurisdiction on this? In the way they investigate cases, they don’t usually take on 35yo cases in which no charges were filed. (Educate me here)

The FBI wasn't asked after these allegations were made and (like in the Anita Hill case asked by Pres Bush) they would conduct an investigation if the president asked
They don't reach conclusions but would corroborate or refute what the allegations are... adding proof to her case or not, which would help Senators decide which way to vote.

Here’s the deal: there is no proof. They would interview BK CBF, Judge, Leland keyser. That’s been done. What proof? What proof exists after 36 years?

No it hasn't. And now there is contemperaneous evidence by virtue of Kavanaugh's calendar.

On board with what, PP?

She joined Flake in saying she wants the FBI Investigation.

Super. She wanted that, I recall.

An FBI investigation is the right course of action. But I wouldn't get too excited about the prospect of Flake/Colins/Murkowski voting no in the full Senate. I wouldn't be surprised if pushing for the FBI investigation ultimately gives them (in their minds) cover to vote yes. The more likely outcome if the Kavanaugh nomination is to be blocked is that he will withdraw (perhaps at the urging of the WH, and perhaps on his own initiative). But Kavanaugh seems disinclined to do this.

Oh, I agree with you. I'm just thankful for small mercies, which is that neither Collins nor Murkowski have voted yes for now. Who can say what new bombshell will be revealed in that extra time?

Another 10K winner.

He was outraged that he had to address us all about that horrible yearbook. Mocked us all as if we were not entitled to ask about it.

Why did you not look at the Holton Arms Yearbook. Very similar posts regarding excessive drinking etc. Why were all of the Holton yearbooks taken down. Growing up in the mid to late 80s was a different time.

But that won't be considered evidence by the FBI in this case. Watch.

Because a woman drinking is not an excuse to abuse her body.

You don't seem to know what proof is. In the real world, a lot is decided only on the basis of witness testimony, it is entirely a credibility determination.

Then vote Republican. Because Democrats clearly want that kind of world.

It's interesting you say this, because my daughter is in her senior year at a very liberal college. She said EXACTLY what you did to me last night.

Good article in LA times

This seems significant...

Wall Street Journal: Mitchell advised Republicans that to continue questioning Kavanaugh she was required by her oath in Arizona to inform Kavanaugh of his rights after he lied to her about July 1, 1982 entry on his calender. Maryland statutes was last question she asked, then break was called..

Yes, but there are no witnesses coming forward. So that is the problem.

They should seek therapy and protest through legal channels rather than harassing and cornering an innocent man in an elevator. Excuse me if I don’t think that these bullies were heroes. And BTW, I say this as a sexual assault victim.

I had assumed she was a sexual assault victim, but no, she is the Co-Director of leftest Center for Popular Democracy, based in NYC which works on immigrant rights. She got the media to fly her down, protest and storm the building w their press pass -- all on camera, of course.

Nice. Another fun day at work living off the donor funds!

She's pretty active in the gay and hispanic immigrant population here in New York. Checks all the boxes.

So apparently the guy Whelan tried to blame is Squi, the guy at the 1 July party?! Did we know this already?

I used to think K was honest in his denials in that he was so drunk he just didn’t remember the assault. Now I’m thinking he remembers it and helped Whelan with the misdirection. (I’m totally spinning conspiracies now because I’m bored, but I think there’s more than enough for the FBI to dig into here, just like Mitchell was starting to before Graham cut her off and distracted with crazy.)
