You acknowledge Feinstein intentionally made that impossible, right?
Yep, she had ample time to bring this forward but sat on it until the last moment in another stunt to delay the vote. The Democrats have obstructed and delayed, using every trick in their dirty playbook.
The more accusers that come forth, the less credible the charges become.
Why? There are at least two reasons.
Because Judge Kavanaugh has a sterling reputation. He wouldn't have had one in the first place if he had participated in all these situations. His reputation would have been quite otherwise long before now.
Next, one incident might get lost in the course of time. But three, one of them at least should have come to light before now. One secret may be kept. Two is that much harder. But how can three secrets of this type be kept for 30+ years, especially when the accusers acknowledge they were not the only people who knew about them.
Also, I've never heard of a womanizer, for lack of a better term, who didn't brag about or at least acknowledge his escapades. Especially in the 80's and 90's when conquests of women were displayed like notches on a gun.
Yet there hasn't been a whisper about any of them until 2 - 3 weeks ago.
The old saw is true. Two may keep a secret is one is dead.
If there were NO accusers who came forward the first time Kavanaugh was reviewed by the FBI for a WH appointment--how would they know?
If the people Kavanaugh gave as references were all in his camp--not those likely to give him a bad rep to the FBI--how would they know???
Consider any time you were asked for references--did YOU give someone you thought would give a negative review of your personal or professional ability???
Do you think any school officials who might have known about Kavanaugh's "rowdy" prep school history would come forward and tell that they knew he was drinking underage, maybe hosted or attended un-chaperoned house parties in prep school where boys and girls used drugs/alcohol and had sex???
There is no reason to believe that if the specific women that were involved did not come forward there is any way that any of the MALES involved in this would?
Remember the Georgetown Prep motto "what happens at Georgetown, stays at Georgetown"...
You are wrong about 'all the witnesses'. There are witnesses that attest to Kavanaughs drunken behaviour.
There are also people that have since withdrawn earlier support.
If Kavanaugh is innocent, let there be an investigation to properly clear his name.
LOL!
No.
If you go to a police station and report a crime that you don't know the location or the time, or even who or how it happened, you would be laughed out.

Feinstein has done something Donald Trump could never do. She just WOKE a Sleeping Giant. Causing a nice rolling red wave, into a tsunami for the Mid-Terms.
Agree, if their concern is about maintaining their majorities in 2018, or getting Trump re-elected in 2020. Seems that they care far more about getting this guy confirmed than either of those. They can have one but not both, they chose Kavanaugh. Why? Because he's Trump golden boy, and they are terrified of defying Trump.
That's the silliest thing I've heard yet. They've angered Trump plenty of times. So not sure why you think they would suddenly be scared of him. You do know this confirmation means the balance of the court is changed decidedly conservative, right? I mean do you think the Dems are fighting this so hard and the Republicans standing their ground so firm all because of Kavanaugh?? Ha! Don't be that naive. No, this is only about the balance of the court which would be firmly, quite firmly, conservative after this confirmation. Neither of them actually care one iota about Trump or Kavanaugh. It's all about the balance.
Now, I personally believe Kavanaugh didn't do anything due to both the timing and huge gaping hole of corroboration. In addition, they're now trying to paint Kavanaugh as some serial sexual predator and frankly, that stuff comes out - it always does. Whether rumors of what but it's not something hidden away for 30 years. So no way in hell no one has said diddly in 30 years. Nope.
I get your point
And that brings me to mine
The FBI should have investigated this matter months ago when Ford's letter showed up
If she refused that, then immediately after her name was revealed
There is NO REASON this has to be a he-said/she-said in that committee meeting
There has been NO desire to have that unbiased investigation done
Either from a rush to judgement before the mid-terms
Or from the possibility that there is an element of truth to Ford's and others' allegations
The FBI has already told everyone involved that they do not have the jurisdiction to investigate the allegations.
Furthermore...
Quote:
"Spokesmen for state and county police said Friday they would not investigate unless they received a complaint — which they said has not happened. State police also said that, in any case, they have an agreement with county police that means local officials investigate such crimes in their jurisdiction."
The accusers HAVE to file a complaint with the appropriate local/state authorities to have the allegations investigated. They STILL have not done so. Why not?

You don't know how those investigations go, do you? All they ask the people you put down is to name other people to talk to. They talk to neighbors, old teachers, whatever, but the point is they talk to people, purposely I might add, that you didn't list. Worked Intel back in my military days and trust me, if you have a secret you're hiding, they are going to find it in your clearance background investigation.
“Right after I broke up with her, she was threatening my family, threatening my wife and threatening to do harm to my baby at that time,” Vinneccy said in a telephone interview with POLITICO. "I know a lot about her.”
"She’s not credible at all,” he said. “Not at all.”
