So you're completely on board with an FBI investigation that would totally exonerate Kavanaugh...right?
You would think he would embrace the opportunity to prove his innocence....and not just with a he said, she said defense.

He has two kids in private schools.

Plus he buys season tickets to Washington National games, which is his explanation for why he owed around $200,000 in 2017. Fortunately, he was able to pay that all off by the time he was nominated for the Supreme Court in 2018.

He has a federal judge’s salary of $220,600 a year.

His wife works part-time, earning $66,000 a year job as the town manager in their village of 225 homes. Sweet gig, eh?

So on a combined income of $286,600/year, they are able to live in a million dollar fixer upper, send their kids to private schools, buy season tickets to the Washington Nationals, afford membership in an exclusive golf club, ...

Something doesn't add up here.

So, the B.S. assault claim is going nowhere so now you're bitc#ing about his lifestyle? Man, talk about grasping at straws...

This certainly fits that definition.

Why are Republicans so against investigating this serious matter?

There will be no "investigating" at the hearing. We all know that. The guy she claims was in the room at the time insists he won't testify.




Investigate the incident so we have some idea if it is true or not.

Is it just me that thinks it’s odd that we expect a 15 year-old to remember details about high school algebra and Catcher in the Rye but not remember almost getting raped 30 years ago. In these kinds of cases we are attacking a 15 years girl for not behaving like an adult would in a similar situation.


I would be willing to guess that asking for an FBI investigation before she testifies is not something she came up with on a whim. Based on her professional background and lawyers consultation it would be sound advice to have the backing of the FBI when she is questioned. They would rule out the chance that she is lying before she testified. The questioning panel knows this and obviously doesn’t want this to happen.

This is not a criminal matter, this is about the character of a man who is being appointed to the highest court in the country.

If it is possible, I would prefer a brief but formal investigation to be done by the FBI to make sure all possible evidence and testimony from all parties involved are looked into. Wouldn't you?

What truth? He said/she said?
No need to guess. It's the Democrat Senators,operators and shills, they've been very clear about it...

What investigation? There's nothing to investigate. The supposed victim won't give a date and location.

Surely you know and understand the difficulty, if not impossibility, of proving a negative?

The Left has already smeared the Judge. There is nothing he can do to prove a negative.

Do you propose separate elevators for women and men and then blame with woman for walking into the elevator with the man and give the man a pass if he rapes her in the elevator? Do you propose that a woman never enter an Uber or Cab if a man is driving?
They did huh? So you have proof of your accusations or, most likely are you just defaming someone on the shaky words of someone else to fit your agenda.

PUT UP OR SHUT UP! let's see the proof of what you accuse...
