You've been corrected on this claim previously, yet you still repeat it. What's wrong with the truth?

There was a witness: GOP refused to subpoena him.
An investigation was called for, even by the ABA: GOP (and Kavanaugh) refuses investigation.
There were four other people at the party, all four have stated they do not recall. Sure, make them testify, they will say the same thing they already stated, unless you think Ford's lifelong friend Keyser is lying and will magically tell the truth under oath?

Why would Ford's friend lie?

Of course she didn't know. Of note, none of his friends had houses near the Columbia Country Club. And that July 1 date Senator Whitehouse harped on? That's Tim Gaudette. He lived at 507 Azalea Dr in Rockville, MD at that time and was also no where near the Columbia Country Club. That legit took me all of a few minutes to figure out on Google - guess Senator Whitehouse's staff can't google as well as I can.

Lie. That claim made by Politico has been debunked...as stated on this forum MULTIPLE times.

That's probably what you would call reasonable but most people do not.

Do any of you, really any of you at all remember this guy is also a lawyer?????? There is NO lawyer, none, that will ask to be investigated for a crime he didn't commit. NONE! So stop acting like you're being reasonable, you're not and you know it. Well, correction, if you don't, then that says something too.
Even the ABA is calling for an investigation. If Kavanaugh really cared about his professional and personal reputation--something he cried and whined about at length--he would absolutely want an investigation to clear his name. Wouldn't you? Or would you prefer to live your and your family's entire life under a cloud of suspicion? An innocent person would absolutely want an investigation because they would have nothing to fear. And ALL criminal allegations, when brought to the surface, are investigated.

You're either deflecting or missing the point.

If you are asked questions in front of the Senate committee you are expected to tell the truth. He wasn't telling the truth.

Nah. There's no way an investigation can prove anything. The only time accusers may face punishment is if they confess to lying about things and even then it's only recently that we've started prosecuting that sort of thing. The rule of thumb has always been to not punish false accusers because it might prevent others from coming forward out of fear of not being believed and then punished. It's a fine line but I think we need to zero in on exactly where we draw the lines because it's getting out of control.

The reality is they really don't care - a majority of GOPers have already admitted that even if he's guilty, it doesn't matter as long as they get their guy on the bench and a political "win." Zero integrity whatsoever, pretty much the entire party at this point. Getting close to zero humanity, actually.
I am not "THEY" as I really have no idea who "THEY" are but will assume you mean die hard go down with you party extremist, which I am not...but... I absolutely would not say that. I would say he needs to step down as he is unfit. I believe he should keep his current job because, well, he was 17 at the time but not fit for Supreme Court Justice.


BUT what if the FBI comes out and says "We found zero evidence or witnesses that could collaborate anything Dr. Ford testified to" "we found her therapist notes to be inconsistent with her testimony" etc... what would you say? Do you have humanity?
