I don’t think he’s going to be confirmed based on what I’m hearing. They basically didn’t do anything in this report at all that is going to make anyone on the fence feel better

The idea that you would encourage that thought makes you one sick individual.

Which accuser was ignored? If you're talking about the last "accuser" only a complete idiot OR an ambulance chasing TDS infected Creepy Porn Lawyer would believe anything that person said given the many contradictions and outright falsehoods she AND her lawyer spewed.

Lying to Congress is no big deal. Attorney General Sessions did it. ("Oh, those Russian meetings. I thought you meant ...") Lots of folks do it. Why not? No consequences involved.

However, lying to the FBI is a felony carrying a potential five year prison sentence.

Now how in the world could a guy serving a prison sentence be expected to fulfill his responsibilities as a Justice on the Supreme Court?

Can't have that now, can we?

They simply write down what everyone tells them.

How many times does that need to be explained?
The FBI agents are well educated on how to identify signs of deceit during an interview.

BTW, Kavanaugh demonstrated every one of them during his hearing last Thursday.

Here's the underlying message from Trump and the Republicans:


ANY woman who has been assaulted or raped will be subject to ridicule, slander, blamed and disbelieved. The conservative motto is "Good girls stay quiet."

Now you're just making things up. He was questioned - vigorously - under oath. Not just in the one you hearing you watched but in previous hearings - both private and public - plus an extensive list of questions from committee members (over 1000 of them) and finally one on one interviews with each member as they so chose. Go check out the Senate Judiciary Committee site to see the timeline of interviews, hearings, etc and you'll see just how many times Democrats simply didn't choose to exercise their options to gain further information from Kavanaugh.

This would be why Kavanaugh would not affirmatively agree to an FBI interview and why the WH limited the scope of the investigation to not interview Kavanaugh.

There's a good chance that the American people will NOT be able to see the FBI report, and also a good chance that we won't even know WHO reviewed the report.

Good. Nice to know, every once in a while, that he does the right thing.

I'm not "encouraging" anything, just stating a possible outcome.

Look at the guy's skin, he's clearly got something going on. He's not as bad as Steve Bannon, but still not very good:
