I don't think Kavanaugh and Ford had much to add to their Senate testimony. Would be nice to see a list of who was interviewed.

Everything after Kavanaugh announced on the Senate floor that he would be a Trumpette Republican stooge has not mattered one bit.

It was a brilliant move on his part.

So, is it possible for Kavanaugh to be actually sued by Ford for sexual assault and for it to be handled as a police case? Like Bill Cosby was accused and sentenced?

No, the statute of limitations expired long ago.

I think they have said many times there was a MD law on the books at the time that could still be used against him, but Ford would have to file a criminal complaint to the police. Seems unlikely that would ever lead to prosecution at this distance.

I'm catching a shitload of sour grapes.  People who were panting for an FBI investigation before have to suck it up.

I still think 2/3 or Collins, Murkowski, and Flake are going to vote against, but you didn't get the result you were hoping for.

On that week long investigation that suddenly wasn't a week long and didn't talk to a lot of key names (at least a reported)? Sounds like the investigation was just what it seemed like when Flake called for it, a fig leaf they could use to hide behind when they vote to confirm him.

If you get sued that means civil court, not criminal.  OJ, for example got hit in civil, not criminal, for cutting his arm candy wife's throat.  But he only spent time in the can for threatening some dude about collectibles.

I'd be curious to see the transcript of the FBI interview of Mark Judge.

I would be willing to believe the FBI found no corroborating evidence of the Ford assault.  All the witnesses to the event already made their statements.

It is not credible that they found no corroborating evidence that BK did heavy drinking in school.  The public record is already overwhelming on that point. It would also mean Judge almost certainly perjured himself.

Anyone else keep thinking "Mike Judge" when they read "Mark Judge"?

People were panting for a legitimate FBI investigation, not the charade used for political cover.

Meh, I never cared much one way or the other about the "investigation". Everything you need to know about whether or not he should be a SC justice we already knew.

He lied under oath, he came out and announced that he was a partisan first, a hater of Dems second, and a legal authority...well, not at all.

Anyone with an ounce of integrity or ethics would never vote to confirm him after the display he put on. Lucky for the Republicans, there isn't an ounce of ethical integrity to be found among those 51 senators, so he will certainly be confirmed.

Trump is now claiming George Soros paid off the Kavanaugh elevator protestors.  So now he is adding anti-Semitic conspiracy theories to his big bag of nasty.

I've had it with fellow Jews who support this guy.  I don't care what he does about Israel - there are lines that can't be crossed.

They were just investigating the sexual assault claims, weren't they?
