It would involve real investigation of both sides claims unlike the farce yesterday which I watched in its entirety. It would be a far more definitive evaluation than an FBI. investigation which only collects statements that have already been given with no conclusions. It would allow them to take the deposition of Kavanaugh’s friend also. It also would remove Kavanaugh from the bench if he were found guilty.
Answer: Ford and her claims would actually be investigated as well as her legitimacy and neither she nor the Dems want that. Also, it would definitively remove the smear of Kavanaugh when he was acquitted which they don’t want either since they hope to impeach him someday.

Innocent people welcome investigations.
One side wants one. The other doesn’t.
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.
And this is not a court of law. It is a job interview.
But you know that.
...you have claimed a violent crime. That isn't done in a job interview. Ford and the Dems (they are a coordinated unit - I don't buy the Ford as victim by the Dems) could have filed charges at anytime.
Your claims are exactly the shallow talking points of the MSM cable outlets, but they are absurd under scrutiny. Btw, if you weren't pretending that she couldn't fly, or if you'd allowed the committee to come to Califonia, you could have had the week you seek.
publicly the same statements that already have been released. He drank a lot, but no one recalls the night in question. Would you fully endorse him if nothing new was uncovered?
But we’ll never know.
Kavanaugh’s afraid of one.

Maybe it would have uncovered something that would have swayed everyone. Maybe all the women admit the conspiracy.
We’ll never know.

c senators to go investigate something with no facts. All they and you want is to go out and continue to collects comments from people that could smear his name. I'd like to see her background fully investigated, but I don't think it's necessary.
not answer it.

But as guilty men know, if you don't answer the question, it cannot be used against you.

Dems are now judging Supreme Court nominees based on their yearbooks, and under a guilty-until-proven-innocent standard. This is all a ploy to gin up the female vote for the Midterms, nothing more. Trump and Kavanugh might take a hit (Chris, Frank and Lance will be happy) but Kavanuagh is our next Justice.

was there, (4) how many people were there, (5) and who drove her home. The only thing she remembers exactly is that it was Brett. She then lies about when the house wass remodeled and about being afraid to fly. She deliberately authorizes the release of the letter when it would cause the most harm. You're like the Duke Admin lording over the Lacrosse team.
He is making the evaluation of this by how it makes him FEEL. We are making it based on an evaluation of the FACTS.
Ever the same.

Yet your are smearing this guy and ruining his life
You are a class act.
sketchy. I really hope you, one of your friends or relatives lives through a false accusation. I'm guessing you'll want to see a lot more facts than what Ford has delivered before the person loses his or her job or worse.

unproven, undocumented, completely embellished and contradicted. I only dealt with this in the workplace, so I can imagine how out of control someone's mind can get if one were actually assaulted.
A teenage girl. Raped and impregnated by someone she knew. As far as I know there are still less than 5 people that know what happened to her. Her story breaks my heart every time I recall it (I shared it on this forum over a decade ago but don't feel like repeating it again). Even though my sample size is small, I can understand lapses in memory of an assault victim.

Memory recovery is known to be totally unreliable. The memories created are usually whatever the therapist expects to find.
A few decades ago people were being convicted on recovered memory testimony in several states until we learned the testimony was inherently unreliable.
