They need to do an investigation on Flake and find out what the leftists have on him.

Why would anyone suggest that a federal law enforcement agency tasked with investigating federal crimes, be tasked to investigate an incident that cannot be established to have even occurred, and even if it did, would not constitute a federal crime?
Don't forget that while the Democrats are pretending to only want the FBI to investigate this within a week, they will demand certain people who have refused to cooperate (such as the friend of Ford for health reasons) be subpoenaed to testify. This will take even more time, and of course more accusations will be inevitable.
Soon Stormy Daniels will be saying she was part of a gangbang porno and one of the masked men was Kavanaugh.

Also don't forget that the latest accusation of Kavanaugh drugging women and gang raping them would have been a felony back then, and the Democrats will insist that also be investigated. Needless to say it is unlikely that Trump will authorize the FBI to get involved, and if so, then they will try to use it as a war on women rubbish in the midterms and 2020.

But make no mistake, the longer they can keep dragging this out, the greater chance they have of scuttling the Kavanaugh nomination, and rest assured if they get control of the senate, they will block every single Trump nominee. Don't forget that if another (R) had been elected (Bush, Cruz, etc.), most of the same judges would still have been nominated, including Kavanaugh. The Democrats would still be opposing them, as the scotus and federal courts have been their backdoor means of getting their liberal agenda done when the voters never would. So they want to protect the scotus hoping to get activist judges to circumvent the Congress.

I understand politics can be a hardball game, but the senate has normally not disgraced itself to such a degree in the past.

Default Dr. Ford-Perjury, Defamation possible punishment?

IF the FBI does investigate Dr. Ford's allegations further, they may find that she knowingly lied in order to influence a SCOTUS judgeship. IF that is the case-what is the penalty? What, if any, laws are those that aided her in promoting a false narrative? If she profits from them, and profit was part of the motivation, is she guilty of expanded charges? Finally, should a defamation suit be filed by Judge Kavanaugh-what could the penalties be?

Who did Professor Ford's polygraph? Hers need to be done by a neutral party with impartial witnesses present.

Asked and answered (multiple times). He has no standing to ask for that investigation and he was right, it is up to the committee. What is so hard to understand about that?

They are welcomed to come audit mine. But I could see how you would be opposed to that if you had something to hide.

You know the old saying: If a man is not a liberal in his 20's he has no heart, but if he's not a conservative by the age of 40, he has no brain.

Well, really smart people with the ability of rational thinking can skip the first part.

The part when she gave a fit of attack on Trump on separating illegal immigrants' children from parents at a hearing about SC nominee pissed me off.
