From what I heard, it won't be an open ended investigation but a limited background investigation but centered on these (or just Ford?) allegations. So, that amounts to talking to people and getting statements if that person chooses to talk to them. No one is actually required to do so in these types of background investigations but many times, they do. Basically, it's doing what's already been done which is getting sworn statements from the people involved. My question is what is the scope with respect to the allegations they're looking at - Ford only or the three out there right now?
"(or just Ford?)"
There are only 6 people involved. 5 have already given their statements under penalty of perjury.
Do you think any of them are going to CHANGE their story?

Not even remotely. I think this is a waste of taxpayer dollars and just more stall tactics from the Democrats. At this point, it's nothing more than an exercise to give the fence sitters the political cover to vote yes. Democrats will use it to continue to stall and smear and count on it, they'll come out saying more time is needed. I would bet money on it.
FORD CAUGHT IN MAJOR LIE? — City Remodeling Permits Show Project She Linked to Kavanaugh Was in 2008 NOT 2012

LYING UNDER OATH TO THE US SENATE IS A CRIME–
Christine Blasey Ford told the US Senate Judiciary Committee that the memories of Brett Kavanaugh “first came up” when she went into counseling in 2012. In May 2012 Ford and her husband argued over her desire to add “a second front door” to their home. Ford told the committee on Thursday the desire for a second door was because Brett Kavanaugh made her “claustrophobic.”
But there may have been something else…
As Paul Sperry reported on Thursday night. The Palo Alto building permits were issued to Ford and her husband in 2008 — NOT 2012.
Paul Sperry: Palo Alto bldg permit records raise questions about Ford’s testimony she completed an “extensive remodel” of home in 2012 & that this was seminal event that led her down path to coming out against Kavanaugh b/c she needed to add an escape door. Permit was issued in 2008.
More… Ford may have been talking about a addition that they rent out.
We will update this as we obtain more evidence.
I remember a comment she made during her testimony....something about the second door coming in handy re hosting Google interns, as they live near a Google office.
Negative. This is not a criminal investigation. No one is looking to change the standard of proof in criminal cases. The courts would not allow it anyway.
"This is not a criminal investigation"
It COULD turn out to be.
There are NO statute of limitations in MD for sex crimes.
There could also be libel charges by Kavanaugh against those that have made false allegations against him.
Since BK worked for George Bush, I'd like to see Bush be active with this and make a personal trip to DC and personally talk with all the Republicans in person and give his support for the nomination.
I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see him make this trip in the next few days,
You don't think the Bush family distaste for Trump would prevent that ?
Where the Hell do you come up with that ? What do you think the FBI does ?
They investigate federal crimes. Allegations of sex crimes (sexual assault, rape, etc.) are under local/state jurisdiction.
Quote:
“At this time, the Montgomery County Police Department has not received a request by any alleged victim nor a victim’s attorney to initiate a police report or a criminal investigation regarding Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh,” the department said this week in a statement. “The department recognizes that victims of sexual assault may not want to involve law enforcement and/or initiate a criminal investigation, and we respect that position. The department, however, stands prepared to assist anyone who reports being the victim of a sexual assault.”

The show was a giant chess game and the guy lost in record few moves.
Example: The questions repeated prodded him whether he drank enough to pass out. It's obvious were they were going. If he answered yes the next question would have been then is it possible you assaulted Ford and just don't remember?
To this he should have answered...yes. But make no mistake this is not admitting guilt. He should have followed up with just because something is possible does NOT make it plausible and followed up with his impeccable record and character history. Anything is possible when we are unconscious or not aware. Is it possible in the middle of the night that I slept walk, stabbed my neighbor and returned home. Yeah it's "possible", but I never slept walk in my life, nor has anyone witnessed me thereof. The chances of it happening are astronomically small. What we must weigh here is the plausibility of the possibility. We must weigh an entire lifetime of good faith against one vague accusation.
Instead he tried to lawyer his way around questions that muddied the larger perspective. It got cringeworthy. Anyone in the drinking scene in college has passed out drunk. It's a question you simply can't deny or step around.
Good argument.
Yesterday I tried to come up with reasons which would 100% exonerate him.
An extreme allergy to alcohol was really my only idea.
So far, all her key statements = lie. Her friend even contradicts her as well as all the people there. Therapist notes contradict her. Can't remember a place or time period (of course not because he might have proof he was somewhere else that weekend).
We're going to see she's a kook who's reliving some trauma she legitimately experienced but has been planted it's Kavanaugh.. that's the only explanation as everything else makes no sense. If she has the guts, she would authorize her therapist to be a witness, but I guarantee, key details will conflict with what was stated in her testimony.
" but I guarantee, key details will conflict with what was stated in her testimony"
She contradicted herself SEVERAL time throughout her testimony.
WHY wouldn't people want doubts to be assuaged? What is the rush to get this guy in? This is a lifetime appointment--is the desperation so great that it doesn't matter to get someone in who is truthful, that any and all allegations are investigated and properly vetted?
He already has a lifetime appointment. He's been a Federal Appeals Court Judge for 12 years.
Ok, the story is on Fox News and LOL, what spin! Ford never said they were witnesses to the attack, only that they were at the party. They neither confirm or deny the attack.
ON THE OTHER HAND, Ford has four WITNESSES to whom she told of the attack, years before Kavanaugh was nominated.
Furthermore, Kavanaugh LIED at the hearing eight times when he said, "All four witnesses say it didn’t happen.” That is on record and sworn testimony. He's a liar and he's toast.
LOL...what a spin you just put on it....no one said Ford said they witnessed any attack..
Ford claimed she had 4 witnesses that could corroborate her story....all four signed affidavits they had no idea what she was talking about...one even went so far as to inject she didn't even know Kavanaugh
Ford claimed that 4 people were at a party and had first hand knowledge of it...all four signed affidavits stating they were never at any party
Ford saying she had witnesses when she didn't....is lying
Ford saying people were somewhere they were not...is lying
Ford saying people know of something when they don't...is lying
