If FBI comes back with nothing
- Thread starter volsrock
- Start date
He will be confirmed and it will make impeachment impossible
If the FBI comes back with information challenging Bret's account the right will cry "deep state" and the House lackeys will immediately commerce an "investigation" with a Nunes's' memo to follow shortly thereafter

Why do you think that?
All the FBI can do is interview the existing players who have already given statements under Oath.
Do you think they are going to suddenly change their stories or come up with new info and perjure themselves?
I don't think so.
Majority of the what you call players never stated it didn't happen, but rather that they don't recall it happening, and lying under oath knowing the chances of anyone checking your account is pretty remote is a whole lot different than flat out lying to the FBI

Why is that relevant?
These people will not perjure themselves.
The investigation will not produce anything different than what has already been uncovered .... which is nothing.

It's possible but unlikely. Flake's insistence on an FBI investigation of "no more than 1 week" is a fig leaf.
Otoh it will not rule out impeachment later.

Don't even play this FBI game. He's already been investigated. Asking for one more only plays into Prog hands.

These are the individuals who Bret and the right wing media keep echoing prove nothing happened, and I wouldn't be so sure about Judge following his original narrative, point being it is a he said/she said situation, and examining if more information existed would be the prudent thing to do considering it is a lifetime appointment

It's a sham and you know it.

Oh, so if someone surfaced with new proof that Bret robbed a gas station twenty years ago it shouldn't have any bearing on the approval stage now cause it was never discovers in the previous background checks?

Key word here is 'proof'.
An accusation is not proof. He's already been investigated...by the FBI...6 times you know?

You don't know that.
So let the investigation proceed.
Delay the vote.

He hasn't been investigated for these claims.
So let's stop with the nonsense that he's been investigated.
He's had an FBI background check, and that wouldn't reveal any of his drunken attacks. Nor would it reveal the obvious alcoholism he has; a dependency that makes him vulnerable to blackmail, not to mention throws his judgment into question since he's not sober.
I bet he was drunk at that hearing.
It's a sham and you know it.
That is a partisan view, political, actually Trump/right wing media's view, which consequently means you think she is flat out lying
The FBI did not look into this behavior. This is different. He said he did not abuse women as he abused sen. Klobuchar in front of millions. He showed his inability to control his rage.
He's a functional, abusive drunk.
He's like the Alphas in Revenge of the Nerds when it comes to his entitlement and privilege, and like the Tri-Lambs when it comes to the rapey stuff.

He's been investigated by the FBI 6 times. Give it up already whiteknight.
