We know that.
Any Dem on the committee could request an FBI investigation right now. But an investigation ordered by the minority party would not stop the votes nor slow the process before the midterms. Also, we both know that the FBI won’t draw any conclusions, and that both sides will again interpret what they wish.
If you want the investigation, quit whining and file charges. You’ll get what you supposedly want.
But I watched carefully yesterday, and even with the inept cross examination by the useless GOP representative, I saw Ford lie in ways that an innocent person wouldnt (a PhD claims she didn’t act for a long time because she didn’t know how to contact her congressman, a PhD can’t remember when the polygraph was done 6 weeks ago, or who paid for it, or especially whether she was being taped during it, a PhD can’t remember if within the past month she gave the WaPo reporter a copy of her Med records, and a person who claims she can’t do the hearing sooner because she is afraid to fly has been jettin all over the country the very week she makes the claim. She made adjustments in court to her letter of accusation to Feinstein as well. She wouldn’t provide the entire polygraph report nor would she provide her therapists med record that she specifically references in her accusation. I could even go on with more.
Ford gave a good performance if you use your emotions to evaluate and disengage your mind, but she lied multiple times despite all of the coaching, and I would welcome a chance to dig into her claims so long as it does not delay confirmation any further which would simply provide Dems more time to throw out fake crap against Kavanaugh. They’ve already proven that they will do it.
So yes. You have the ability to investigate, and you won’t. If your claims are more than political and if you sincerely believe this accusation, then file charges or shut up.
