Could be they are setting up a perjury charge.

He never said that he knew her. He said that it was possible that he knew her, but he doesn't remember her. He said that they did not run in the same circles.

I think you are right, but at this stage who remembers who said what. There have been so many stories and contradictions. I think I am going to sign out now and turn of the tube.

Looks like poll entry 50-54 just got a bump.

Source on this info? Don't see this info yet.

I say they are going after Dianne Feinstein full on.

Prediction, Feinstein resigns or is ousted soon.

Also, McConnell is warning FBI to not let the Democrats move the goal posts this week.

This is true.

We can't knock him for that.

Flake also gives at least three reasons why he should hate and not vote for Trump.

1) Trump is a birther. True.

2) McCain. True

3) Trump called out Mexicans. Big fat lie.

Trump called out illegal aliens, naming Some... Some of them as murderers, rapists.

For #3 above, I neither trust Flake, nor believe anything else he says because this is what the left does... Embellishes Trump's faults or mistakes and passes them off as truth via an on bended knees media, repetition and desperation.

funny. exactly the same thing happened on this forum
They have the audacity of claiming we watch too much FOX News. Oh, so every other channel, cbs, msnbc, abc, cnn, etc. is better? Are they any different from each other?

Well, it all plays out here.

Good Grief -- no wonder the Leftists are so removed from Reality. You actually believe this stuff.

Judge Kavanaugh NEVER "used the phrase "Hell have no fury" ......
Pay attention now -- It did NOT happen.

The quote the Judge used was a LOT better

That phrase was used - you got that part correct - it was used by Jonathan Capehart in a syndicated (that means sold to other news media) column. I always worry about using those big words.

Opinion: Hell hath no fury like an entitled white man denied
Jonathan Capehart, The Washington Post Published 6:17 am PDT, Saturday, September 29, 2018


But the histrionics of Graham and Kavanaugh showed once again how hell hath no fury like an entitled white man denied. No humility. No contrition. No humanity beyond his narrow interests.
Strong words broadly brushed, I know. But I'm done tiptoeing around powerful men like Kavanaugh and Graham when their bruised, tender feelings will have an impact on my life and my country.


Don't you people EVER get embarrassed by these totally false statements?????????

Similar to what I remember hearing. Don't recall either of them saying they were actually introduced. You can know of someone including their name without being introduced if someone else knows them and tells you who they are.

Seems like there was also something about either the girlfriend at the party or another girlfriend dating either Mark Judge or another friend of his. So that's another way they could have known of each other.

Oh my gosh, I've ruminated over high school shenanigans more in the past three days than I have in the past 30 years. I bet every one of Ford's and Kavanaugh's well heeled friends wishes they'd never known either of them.

I doubt if we would have many of our current members still sitting in the Congress or the courts!

Well, I think that used to happen.

Perhaps we had higher standards back then.

Look at her when she's fake holding back tears. Look at how far down she has her chin into her chest. Try it out yourself.

Put your chin down into our chest while talking and see if you don't, also, have a shaky breaking voice as if you were on the verge of tears.
