Kavanaugh kept repeating the silliness about "the devil's triangle" being a drinking game. Since there was nothing on the Internet to corroborate that, someone located in the House of Representatives decided a good plan would be to edit the Wikipedia entry on "The Devil's Triangle" (another name for the Bermuda triangle) to make it appear that Kavanaugh's lie had some merit. The entry was removed, and one revision appears removed from the public archives.
From the Wikipedia history:
"Devil's Triangle (disambiguation) Wikipedia article edited anonymously from US House of Representatives https://t.co/D3poeTGMuKpic.twitter.com/oB74iOxzBS — congress-edits (@congressedits) September 27, 2018
Another entry on the Wikipedia page showing a history of revisions reads: "Do not add the hoax about a 'drinking game,' especially as related by Brett Kavanaugh."
It's hard to make this stuff up.
"'Devil's Triangle' was a drinking game we came up with in high school," said a letter signed by DeLancey Davis, Bernard McCarthy Jr., Paul Murray, and Matthew Quinn. "It was a variation on the game 'Quarters.' When we played 'Devil's Triangle,' four people sat at a table. On the table, three small glasses of beer were arranged next to one another to form a triangle. Each of the four participants took turns being the 'shooter.' The shooter attempted to bounce a quarter into one of the glasses. If the quarter landed in one of the glasses, the person at the table sitting nearest that glass had to drink the beer."
"We do not remember the exact origin of the name, but none of us used the phrase 'Devil's Triangle' in our yearbook to refer to any kind of sexual activity. To us it was just a game with glasses in the shape of a triangle. If the phrase 'Devil's Triangle' had any sexual meaning in the early 1980s, we did not know it." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...rett-kavanaugh
Sticking with Ford's allegation of assault, not his general drinking, the FBI could have spoken to the homeowners where the party was held, the 6th person at the party, the person who drove her to or from the party, friends or family she told about the assault within 30 years after it happened.
Drat She didn't know when or where it happened, who drove, who the 6th person was, nor did she tell anyone.
Nobody else could add to the testimony she and Kavanaugh gave or the testimony and sworn statements of those already interviewed.
LMAO!!!! Exactly. The FBI couldn't do much. It was a very simple investigation since it was 4 people that Ford mentioned being at the party including her best friend that she denies and even went further saying she has never met Kavanaugh or never been in any party with him.
Democrats wanted the FBI to knock the door at every house in the state of Maryland to ask if somebody remembers a small party in 1982 with Ford and Kavanaugh in the same house. If that doesn't work, go pull the DMV records of everybody that had a driver's license in Maryland in 1982 to ask each one of them if they took Mrs. Ford to the party and picked her up from the party and drove her home. If that doesn't work then subpoena every high school student at the time in the whole city wherever they are at today to search if somebody was at that small party in 1982 putting both of them in the same house. If that doesn't work, blame the FBI that they didn't do a proper investigation.
He made a brief speech still looking very angry. He can't wait for pay-back, which he will try to deliver from behind the bench.
That's what happens when you **** off judges. Nothing new here at all. Look at all the Trump hating judges who were/are pissed that he even got elected unconstitutionally ruling from the bench and trying to say he can't undo EO's or make any.

This is something new, because this one is openly partisan and hostile towards one party.

I did read one "news" article where they said the FBI should somehow get phone records for every home in that area for the summer of 1982, along with all taxi company records of pickups and drop offs. She never said she called anyone or took a taxi, but you never know, right?
the FBI is not going to knock on every door in the state of Maryland to ask if somebody remembers a party from 1982 with Ford and Kavanaugh together or they won't talk to people that heard something from somebody that heard it from somebody else, that's hearsay and useless.
This is a very simple investigation. Ford made allegations and she named 4 people and the FBI spoke to them. The FBI is not going to turn every rock in Maryland to find people that doesn't exist or a party that Ford can't prove ever existed since she doesn't remember much.
Either you were in person at the alleged party in 1982 that saw Ford and Kavanaugh together in the same house or you weren't. This isn't the Warren Report on JFK's death. This is a waste of time for the FBI and Ford should have gone to the Maryland police and they would have come up with the same outcome, NOTHING! NO witnesses and NO collaboration that the party ever existed let alone the rest of her allegations.
Agree. For the purposes of the Senate vote, the relevant matter concerning Ford was whether Kavanaugh committed perjury. Only Judge's testimony would have been dispositive. He continued to deny. Case closed, except for a possible investigation into who leaked the Ford letter.

It was a smoke and mirrors show but that's irrelevant. Democrats supported an allegation that could not be supported. The nomination vote needed to be held.
The "game" then became the battle for public opinion. It was to the Democrat's advantage to continue to gather witness testimony about possible Kavanaugh bad boy behavior when in high school and college to create doubt among independents and sow outrage among the left.
That was not an appropriate road to take - if, again, there was no possibility of establishing "guilt" (and perjury) without Judge.

Either you were at the alleged Party that Ford alleges or you weren't. This isn't the Warren Commission report on the death of JFK.
Yes and no. This was not a criminal or civil matter or even some sort of Congressional oversight investigation. There needed to be a dignified, reasonable manner to bring to a close what would be a party-line vote (absent a bomb-shell or Senators voting Kavanaugh down for partisan statements etc.). Collins fashioned one.
Had there been a need for a determination that met some legal standard of guilt or innocence then the two key people would have had to be reinterviewed. You can't have the prosecutor commenting that this (the 5 minute increments) is no way to question a witness. Inconsistencies need to be addressed. Obtain the Ford therapy notes. Expert testimony obtained from a trauma expert. More ...
But since there was not enough evidence to bring a charge, then there's also no need to go through a full-court press investigation.

might as well call the CIA. Democrats want to treat this like the 9/11 congress report or JFK's death Warren commission investigation.
by the way, none of that would prove her allegations. None of that would prove that a particular party existed. This is simple. Either you were in that particular house (whichever house it is) and that particular party in 1982 or you weren't. Her best friend torpedoes her story out of the water by saying she doesn't know Kavanaugh and has never been in any party with him. Knowing that FACT, Ford should have never come forward with that weak allegation with nobody to back her up. She either was used by her democrat activist feminist friends and the democrat powerhouse lawyers and was way over her head or she is in it to be a hero for the left and write her book and make millions of dollars. All I know, If I was her husband, I would have protected her a lot better than what the Democrats did.
