Conflict of interest? How about the conflict of interest involved in ONLY having Grassley's staffers investigate Kavanaugh? One of those staffers tweeted that he was "unfazed and determined, we will confirm Kavanaugh"
Why you would condone an investigation led by a partisan staffer who admits that they will confirm Kavanaugh but criticize Feinstein for recommending an attorney to Ford strikes me as 'curious' to say the least.
Did you not read your own link?
He was referring to the Democrats refusal to take part in the investigation.
In a state with no statute of limitations, meaning that as capricious as our judicial system has become, you could actually be being accused of a crime and have to face those charges.
Yeah, that wouldn't upset most people.
There is "the innocence project," after all, which is indeed upsetting. But Kavanaugh is not being tried in a court of law, so unless he asks to take a polygraph, there's no precedent (that I know of) for requiring him to.
Most people I know believe she was assaulted by someone somewhere. But the burden of proof that it was Kavanaugh who assaulted her does fall on her. Sorry, but if no witnesses can confirm her story, and she has no other proof, then it's understandable to consider that at the least she may be mistaken. That's not "gaslighting."
I think it's pretty clear to objective people across the board that she's emotionally fragile, for whatever reasons.
I think, as a person who was sexually molested which started from the age of five years old, to believe a he said she said story, before any evidence it shown, is a big mistake and a danger to this country.
I remember where my molestations started, when, and how...and again, I was five years old....
Kathy you and I have agreed on many subjects given our differences, and I respect your postings as well as love reading them, however, this is a big mistake, for you or I to believe someone without conclusive proof.
Just two weeks ago, a man who was in prison was left go, b/c the woman who came forward and testified that he raped her, said, she lied.
This isn't the first time, and is the great danger....please and I say this to each and everyone here, try very hard not to let politics and emotions play into your feelings on this subject. It is wrong to do....I don't know who is telling the truth, and neither do you or anyone else....
Just curious, how did you feel about the Dems during Clinton rape allegations? Did you rush to the accusers defense? The senators are playing politics. Dems want to delay and the Repubs don’t want to, both have their obvious reasons for doing so.
Nope. Sure didn't. I rushed to Lewinsky's defense.
If you've ever blacked out drinking, and you're still drinking as an adult, it's most likely that you'll blackout again.
Kavanaugh describes himself as not only a non-alcoholic, but also a non-hard-drinker.
You cannot be a non-alcoholic later in life and have been one earlier in life.
You cannot be a non-hard-drinker later in life and have been one earlier in life.
You don't outgrow alcoholism nor do you outgrow hard drinking. If this were not so, many millions of folks would have simply outgrown their afflictions later in life when they "grew up."
You don't put together a life as Brett Kavanaugh has done by lying, neither.
You cannot be a compulsive liar on the one hand, and a recovered alcoholic on the other.
They just don't go together. I can attest to that.
Oh yeah, like that guy from the Clinton Campaign who is funding the Smear Kavanaugh Campaign.
Former Clinton Staffer Brian Fallon Leading Group Smearing Brett Kavanaugh
The fact that there is a Smear Kavanaugh Campaign should be concerning to some, like mouth-breathers and such.
Dark money, it's a thing. Brian Fallon is part of three layers of secrecy in setting up these projects, for example, Demand Justice, which is a part of this 1630 Foundation, both C4s, then there is Hillary Clinton's Onward C4 as well. All of them are obscured together, and we cannot see the tax returns of any of this. FBI, anyone?
If they remove Kavanaugh from consideration, they will remove one of the biggest advocates from women's fair treatment and advancement in the Supreme Court that we will have ever seen, as well as a very successful girls basketball coach, good father, good husband, etc.
Hashtag, I believe him dot com.
Oh, and to your claim, "I have rights..." I like to understand it this way, Freedom is God-given. Liberty is fought for and defended. So thusly, liberty can be lost here, if we (Rupublicans and Trump supporters) get this wrong. We can vote. They haven't taken this away from us yet.
Thank you for ending that mind-numbing argument.
Here's another mind-numbing argument the Echo-Chamber Liberals roll out every hour of every day... But He's a Republican! Flake, Corker, Mueller, Comey, etc., Republicans? Srsly? McCain? Republican? Yeah. Right. Not.
Yikes.
That's exactly what they are saying. This is what the Trump-deranged do.
... as I was saying...
Ha! Next time I get accused of being a Trumpette, I'm gonna trot you out.
Wir gonna git that Kavanaugh DerkiDer!
Maybe we should leave the poor feller alone?
No no no.
Brian Fallon, look him up.

like that, wouldn't you? Isn't that the purpose of this continued harassment? You don't like the guy. You're one of those who says, "If Kavanaugh is confirmed, people will die!"
Democrats will one day will be given this same treatment. Then they will whine and complain. Just remember it was YOU PEOPLE who brought us to this point. The despicables.
Democrats are nothing but vermin. They destroy lives for power. They don't care. Those lives are just collateral damage.
I've heard that statement before.
What an idiotic statement.
That's like telling me, a true Republican and Trump voter, I should just withdraw. I should just withdraw from being a United States American.

As a Catholic Christian I am offended that these men would use the Lord's name in vain for political purposes. Although I am not the most active of Catholics it always upsets me to see men such as these break a commandment for personal advantage.
As a Recovered Catholic™ myself, I tell you this, you've come to the "wrong town at the wrong time" for Salvation™ my friend.
The day Jesus Christ Himself, or heck, even (f)ather (n)elson comes up to the Capitol Building and starts cracking some skulls, I'm Lord's naming in vaining buddy.
Read your own bible thankyouverymuch, oh, and get down off the cross foo! We need the wood.

Yeah, correct.
Rosenstein said something about too. I'll recollect it here, something to the effect, yeah, we can do that, but it ain't gonna change much.

Correct. He actually said he would because of course idiotic Democratic senators would repeatedly ask him this. He said he would tke one, but that they aren't used in his realm of law because they are unreliable. It's like he told that moron Kamala Harris or whomever, "You're doing it right now!"
The "It" being the most thorough dragging through the mud you could do to a person in this fine Country of ours.

However, if no one, the FBI, the Senate, or anyone else is going to breach this sanctuary of her mental health history, we will never know the truth.
Good points.
The Republicans on the Senate have the decency, and I'm proud of them for it, for not dragging Debbie through the mud.
This is what they mean by supporting her in saying they believe her story is credible, the sexually assaulted from her past- part.
We just think the "deep state" or what have you... selected her and used her for this hit on Kavanaugh, his family, and Americans like myself.

Good question.
Let's find out.

No, but statistically, it's worth bringing up.
Lindsey Graham nailed the crux of the accusation against Kavanaugh on the head when he enlightened the hearing about the fact that sexual assaulters don't just "turn it off like a switch".
As Kavanaugh says about himself, look for yourselves, see my work. Read for yourself. Look at his past experiences, all of it.

I understand what it takes to become a recovered alcoholic. I have no experience on sexual assault, deviance, etc., but have family members who have spent their life long careers prosecuting and trying to place and reform the perpetrators.
I've observed similarities in the victims of these heinous acts with codependents of folks with alcoholism. They have an illness if you will, that doesn't go away over night. It doesn't fix itself.
Same thing for women/men of abusive relationships.
You either get recovered or you don't. Those that do take a huge part in that recovery.

It's relevant in my mind.
Sounds like a smear to me though.
I'd need to see a good source or hard evidence on this. Why? We live in a world where women are not allowed to brag about sexual exploits, especially now. Just go ask Hollywood. Goes for men now too as the rules have changed recently, in case no one has noticed.
Love how Kavanaugh said that he was also inwardly proud of his virginity, as well as embarrassed.
Doubt CNN is gonna headline that touching moment.
It convinced me about Kavanaugh's innocence too, as many other things about him do.
Deep states are scared S-less over Kavanaugh over things like this. They're called Truths.

You know zip about the process of sexual abuse, grooming, etc. Good on you. Keep it that way if you can. The evil surrounding it gets people physically sick as well as sick in every form imaginable.
