Okay folks, the other Kavanaugh thread has gotten so large that it's hard for anyone to really continue a conversation or keep up with what's being discussed. So please, pick up here where the other left off.

We find ourselves at this point past the testimony of Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh before the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee has now confirmed Kavanaugh on a party line vote 11-10 in favor of Kavanaugh. However, there has now been an FBI investigation opened up to look into sexual assault/lewd behavior claims against Judge Kavanaugh. This FBI probe is scheduled to go on for one week, at which time I suppose the FBI will present their findings, and then inevitably there will be a vote on Kavanaugh in the Senate. I believe this summation should be good enough to put you guys back on track as far as where the discussion is at this point. Please continue, and remember, be respectful to one another. We are not here to attack one another on a personal level. Debate the topics of discussion, and leave personal comments about one another out of it. We are here to discuss "Everything Kavanaugh", not other users.

PS. I have included a few links about the scandal and the main players involved. Of course, I can not guarantee the accuracy of the Wikipedia links, but at a glance they seemed to do a pretty good job of giving anyone new to the story an idea of who we are talking about and what is going on.

Also, here is a link to old thread so that you folks can view the original poll or links that were provided in the original thread. Please do not bring any of the personal attacks and trolling that was going on over there to this thread. Clean slate here folks. Please stay on topic and be decent to one another.

Default The Saga Continues: Judge Kavanaugh confirmation/allegations/etc. continued...

Was that officially the longest thread ever on CD? I wouldn’t be surprised.

Actually I am not sure, but it was absolutely huge. I'm sure it was at least in the top 3.

So some questions from the other thread;

Who's house was it? Out of the five there, was it any of their's house?

Who invited Ford? Exactly how did the invitation process occur?

Someone alluded that she went to meet the "cool" Kavanaugh; if he was so darn popular, how would Keyser not recall any of this?

Did Ford or Keyser know anyone there?

How did she get there, leave, what location, date, time of day, was it day or night out, and any follow up from her friend as to why she suddenly left?

All excellent questions. I would add some detail things like - what was the weather like that day. What music (e.g. song, artist, or style) was playing that they turned up so high? Do you recall there being a lot of traffic/busy road when going home or there? Did you have a bag or purse with you?

A person accuses a guy of attacking her 40 years ago at a place she can’t remember, a date she can’t remember, and everybody who she said was there said it didn’t happen. It’s astonishing that at least 30 percent of the population believes that on nothing more that “she must be believed!”

I googled Mark Judges house and it seemed like it might fit.

But, my guess is the house belongs to the unnamed other boy and will thus never be identified.

This is based on my belief that this whole thing is a con by Christine Blasey Ford and so all details she has laid out are ones that cannot now or ever be either verified or refuted.

Cant add anything regarding your other questions.

This reply is to L8Gr8Apost8 (and anyone else who keeps claiming that Kavanaugh was not open to an FBI investigation) who posted on the other thread:

I'm not saying causation/correlation but I highly expect most innocent people would love the help of the FBI clearing their name.
I had to give the link in a rep comment since the other thread was closed and this wasn't open yet.

This is his full opening statement, not what has been cut down by certain media. At 02:24, he clearly states that he had told the Senate that he was open to any kind of investigation, "Senate, FBI, or otherwise". So can we please stop pretending that he was not open to an FBI investigation?

And since that appears to be the biggest problem most had with him, those who had a problem with him, was that he was not "asking" for an FBI investigation - which people don't do, are those people going to accept it when the FBI comes back and says they have re-closed the case?

He couldn't make the FBI open an investigation. It had to come from Senators. The left had all that time to do so, why didn't they? Why did they pretend that Kavanaugh was the only one who could do it?

Di-Fi sent the letter to the FBI and they investigated her allegations. They then returned the letter to the Senate and closed the case.

Now we have to sit here through another week of the same investigation that they already did because the Dem Senators lied about Kavanaugh not "asking" for an investigation. It was already done.

Absolutely nothing is going to come out of the investigation. What we do have now is yet another week for the left to pull out anyone they can find to make allegations, and then get them paid off through GoFundMe accounts.

On July 8th 45 out of 49 Democrat Senators announced that no matter what happened they would do everything possible to prevent Kavanaugh be selected to SCOTUS.

Nothing in the FBI investigation that clears him would change these votes. Period.
