DEMS NOW WANT KAVANAUGH INVESTIGATED FOR ALLEGED BEHAVIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL

It looks like I spoke too soon when I said that the Kavanaugh confirmation process never reached the nauseating lows of the Bork and Thomas hearings. The Washington Times reports that Sen. Dianne Feinstein has asked federal investigators to probe a secret complaint about Kavanaugh. The complaint, reportedly lodged by woman, pertains to an incident that supposedly occurred when Kavanaugh and the women were in high school.

The woman passed her complaint to Rep. Anna Eshoo, a California Democrat. She apparently is unwilling to come forward publicly to talk about the alleged incident. Buzzfeed contacted the woman rumored to have lodged the complaint. She refused to comment.

The Anita Hill ambush of Clarence Thomas was bad enough. But at least Hill was willing to stand publicly behind her claims. And at least those claims, though not coming close to stating a case of sexual harassment, were less than a decade old.

A spokesman for Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Charles Grassley said that Grassley is aware of the referral. He added that “there is no plan to change the committee’ consideration of Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination.”

Nor should there be. No nomination should be derailed by ancient claims of misconduct made by someone who is unwilling publicly to state them. In an era where partisans try to bribe Senators into voting against a nominee, it will always be possible to find someone willing to make secret allegations of misconduct from the distant past.

Indeed, there’s no reason why the FBI, which has vetted Kavanaugh multiple times since 1993, should investigate a claim pertaining to an event that may have occurred 35 years ago, when Kavanaugh was a teenager. If Kavanaugh committed a crime, the time to accuse him was decades ago. If he didn’t commit a crime, who cares what happened

Dems literally don’t have the votes. Who cares what they think?

First of all...He went to an all boy prep school for high school. Is this an 80 year old teacher complaining?

[ought-six]

When I was in 7th grade, in Catholic school, I brought a Whoopie Cushion to class, and when I set it off I blamed it on the girl who sat in front of me. The nun was old, and probably thought she let one herself. I am thus disqualified from holding any public office.

Motto of the Democrat Party, "If you ain't cheatin and lyin, you ain't tryin."

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

All of this will come back to haunt the democrats

[Nifster]

Georgetown Preparatory School is an all male Jesuit boarding school

[databoss]

Crush the Dems now !!!! They are a threat to this country.

[goldstategop]

I can guarantee y’all if there was something to it, the Democrats would have made the allegation and the name of the accuser public immediately.

This is a nothing burger designed to distract their lunatic base furious over the fact the Democrats haven’t been able to thwart the confirmation vote.

[Magnatron]

A source who said they were briefed on the contents of the letter said it described an incident involving Kavanaugh and a woman that took place when both were 17 years old and at a party. According to the source, Kavanaugh and a male friend had locked her in a room against her will, making her feel threatened, but she was able to get out of the room.

You have

GOT

to be kidding me...

[Nifster]

Espoo is a hack

Pubic hairs and coke cans, oh my ...

[rainee]

From the article..This stinks to high heaven!!

While additional details about the letter were scarce, two media outlets have reported that the person who wrote the letter is being represented by an attorney, Debra Katz, who has been described in media reports as Washington’s #MeToo lawyer.

Katz has not responded to a request for comment from the Guardian. BuzzFeed reported that she was seen on Capitol Hill on Wednesday night, shortly after the Intercept first reported the existence of the letter.

[goldstategop]

Now a teenage prank is an issue.

These people are insane and there are no words for it.

[redcatcherb412]

I flushed a cherry bomb down the boys room toilet in high school once. Does that disqualify me from becoming a Supreme Court Justice?

I hotwired over 20 cars for joyrides because back in 64 14 year olds typically didn't get cars of their own. I would be eminently disqualified even though I always left the cars in shopping center parking lots safe and sound.

[Mears]

He may have been a day student,though-———what they are doing to this guy is horrifying.

[Dahoser]

This being the same Dianne Feinstein and her fellow Democrats who continue to celebrate the Presidency of serial rapist Bill Clinton.

[dforest]

uh, does that mean sumpin?

[goldstategop]

#MeToo.

Kavanaugh didn’t do anything remotely comparable to what NYs Attorney General did.

And a prank isn’t even the same league as forcing S&M sex on your girlfriend...

[CIB-173RDABN]

It is getting harder to tell the difference between reality and satire. /s

If this is all they have, they have nothing.

I grabbed a handful of booty in 1976, since it was obvious I had no future blackmail potential, she just belted me in the chops.
