Ford lawyers say she is open to testifying, but not Monday

happened 30 years ago. What should they find "fingerprints'? Your repeating what evidence is inane. This distils down to witnesses and people who were told long ago. There are plenty of women who will back her. Repubs will not allow them to testify. her shrink said she told him 5 years ago. Not permitted to speak. All they will permit is the Repub senators, all men with their minds made up to question her. Now they are thinking about having an outside lawyer, A woman, ask their questions for them. that would fool you. She will be having a script and prescribed questions. What punks, hiding behind a woman.
The FBI investigates nominees are a regular part of their duties. they are the Federal Bureau of INVESTGATION after all. Repubs are blocking it.

Hearsay is not allowable and that's what you're pinning your dreams on.
 
you do not know what is available as evidence. Nor do I. but you have no trouble claiming it does not exist. typical righty idea of fairness.
The Repubs know there are people who were around then that will testify about it. For some reason, the Repugs do not want to allow them to have their say. i guess you think that is in the interest of fairness and justice. Allowing all sides to speak is just so unfair.

Bottom line right now is: One side is asking for an FBI investigation to find out if more can be found...and the other side is doing everything it can to prevent the FBI from investigating and finding more.

The charge was made by Ford who knew Kavanaugh...and knew Judge whom she identified as a witness and an enabler. One side wants Judge to testify and one side does not.

Which side is acting more like the party trying to hide something?
 
I'm not the one who's basing all of this on my feels, like you and other liberals are.

I'm basing my conclusion on the FACT that there is no E-V-I-D-E-N-C-E, which doesn't seem to matter to you or the liberals; because if it did, you and other liberals would be questioning the FACT that there is no evidence.

Would you be comfortable if you were accused of something, from over 30 years ago, and there was no evidence to support the accusation?

Would you just curl up, in a fetal position, and say: "Well; if she's accusing me, it must be true."??

That’s because no woman would ever wrongly accuse a man of rape. It has never ever ever happened

Women never ever lie about anything
 
Let’s be clear about something

Ford testifying and the FBI investigating are mutually exclusive

One is not predicated on the other
 
From the article:
if she is given "terms that are fair and which ensure her safety."


Which is nothing more the a desperate plea for them to believe her, with no evidence, and to not make her FEEL bad. :palm:

Even those she said were there don't believe her.

“I understand that I have been identified by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as the person she remembers as ‘PJ’ who supposedly was present at the party she described in her statements to the Washington Post,” Smyth says in his statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee. “I am issuing this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh.” - Patrick J. Smyth, classmate of Brett Kavanaugh

Which side is still trying to claim something is true when those named as witnesses to a supposed action say it didn't occur?

How are you supposed to determine the truth of what happened that night based on the couple of hours of testimony of the victim and the accused?

You would need an investigation in order to determine that, wouldn't you?

I agree. These charges are so serious they warrant serious investigation and if true should lead to a criminal conviction and jail time for Brett Kavanaugh. That is why I encourage Dr. Ford to file a criminal complaint with the local police department of Montgomery County

We've been over why local PD can't do the job. There's no penalty for lying to them. It's not a felony and is rarely prosecuted.

So you need the FBI to investigate because lying to the FBI is a felony and carries mandatory prison time. Lying to local PD doesn't.

I get why you don't want the FBI to investigate; Conservatives have trouble telling the truth to the FBI.

Just ask Manafort.

Or Flynn.

Or Gates.

Or Papadopolous.

This is a job for the FBI.

Only the assholes on the right are afraid of them investigating further.

AND OF ALLOWING JUDGE TO TESTIFY UNDER OATH.

Conservatives simply cannot be truthful with the FBI.

They've seen what lying to the FBI gets you, and they're scared.

So they posture. But no one believes they really want an investigation. They want to rush a hearing without one. Then they wonder aloud how anyone's supposed to determine what happened based on just the testimony of just Ford and Bretty. So what will happen is that it will end up as a "he said"/"she said", no conclusions will be able to be drawn, and everyone will be left wondering what the point of the hearing was.

Conservatives fucked up the politics on this pretty badly.

Actually, Kavanaugh has already talked with the Senate Judiciary committee under penalty of a felony. He has already stated he is willing to testify on MONDAY. He is ready to go. It is Ford who is stalling.

The proper place for this investigation is the local law enforcement where charges can be brought.

This FBI thing is a gambit and you know it. Stop being so obvious.

Here is a question. If this was sooooooo important, why didn't Ford's lawyer say that on Monday morning when asked if her client would testify? When asked she said unequivocally YES

This is what Conservatives do; they try to establish false, arbitrary standards based purely on their own subjectivity.

There exists no standard by which this Conservative is making this claim; and in fact, past precedent shows that an investigation into this is wholly within the FBI's wheelhouse, as Senator Orrin Hatch said back in 1991.
 
it is the Federal Bureau of INVESTIGATION. it is what they do. This would take a couple of days. They did it with Thomas. For some reason, they don't want to do it this time, a time when more Americans are aware of the problems women have faced from men. The old white man party wants to return to the exciting days before women had a say. The Repubs who are talking to her are all men. They wanted to hire a woman lawyer to ask the questions so the appearances, which would have been accurate, of old white men blasting her could be avoided. We all know who is doing this.b We also know why.

There is nothing special about Kavanaugh. The Federalists gave Trump a list of 16 to pick from. Trump has no knowledge base from which to make it, so he handed it off. Now he is forced to defend a guy who treats women like he does. pretty awkward.

How would the investigation begin

Start with Ford?

One side is asking for further investigation...and the other wants to shut down any further investigation.

One side wants the person identified as a witness to testify under oath...the other side wants to pretend that person doesn't even exist.

The side that wants to shut down any further investigation and to refuse to hear from a potential eye witness...

...IS YOUR SIDE,
Don.

Stop with the bullshit.

If there is underhandedness in play here...it is coming from YOUR SIDE.

Start with Ford?

Why not?

Sure.

Start with Ford.

And then go on to Judge...and check out some of the friends Ford had in high school.

Do it the way they do it.

What is your problem with them investigating this?

Why the rush?
 
(CNN)Christine Blasey Ford opened the possibility she would testify before Congress about her accusation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

An email her lawyers sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee said Ford "would be prepared to testify next week" if the senators offer her "terms that are fair and which ensure her safety."
The message came a day ahead of a 10 a.m. Friday deadline set by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley for Ford to decide whether she would appear before a hearing he set for Monday.

Testifying Monday, however, "is not possible and the Committee's insistence that it occur then is arbitrary in any event," Ford's lawyers wrote.
"As you are aware, she has been receiving death threats, which have been reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and she and her family have been forced out of their home," the email said. "She wishes to testify, provided that we can agree on terms that are fair and which ensure her safety.

Since when do citizens dictate the scheduling if Senate hearings?

And why no concern for the safety of Kavanaugh and his family? They have been receiving death threats too.
