FBI: Brett Kavanaugh ‘Allegation Does Not Involve Any Potential Federal Crime’
breitbart ^ | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 09/18/2018 12:12:36 PM PDT by davikkm

The Department of Justice (DOJ) said Monday that the FBI will not investigate the sexual misconduct allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. After refusing to participate in a phone call with Kavanaugh set up by Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), led by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Democrats on the Judiciary Committee called on the FBI to investigate high school-era allegations against Kavanaugh.

“In view of the enormity and seriousness of these allegations, a staff-only phone call behind closed doors is unacceptable and Democratic staff will not participate,” Feinstein said in a statement on Monday.

She added that the FBI “has the resources and know-how to conduct an objective, independent evaluation of these sensitive allegations with appropriately trained investigators.”

Senate Minority Leader Schumer (D-NY) is also calling for an FBI investigation.

On Tuesday, Feinstein again called on the FBI to investigate the allegation of a local crime 36 years ago when Kavanaugh was 17 and still in high school:

YES! YES! YES! Praise God! If the committee democrats don’t want to participate in any of this, the republicans can vote to send to the whole Senate, without them. It’s their privilege to choose to abstain, but it is NOT their privilege to stop the committee vote.

So she was 14 or 15 going to parties and already a alcoholic and sleeping around. Where were her parents??????????????


If THAT part has any truth to it, I’m surprised she hasn’t recovered an incest memory.

My daughter has what we call "left right confusion" (slight dyslexia) - and recently got her standard tests back. She had fine scores except in Punctuation, where she had maybe 25%. So I tried gently explaining that we need to get to the bottom of what is going wrong there, and she said,

"No mom! It's just that I didn't understand how to fill out the bubbles on the test! I know punctuation fine!!"

I asked her "well you got 99% on Spelling, so did you understand how to fill out the bubbles there?"

You cannot claim that your life was a derailed mess because of 1 weird nebulous "mostly in my head" incident of near "unintentional murder" and "near rape attempt" - all from a stumbling drunk laughing hysterically - and go on to put in a stellar academic performance that leads to a phD and gig teaching at Standford. That's totally incongruous.

This reeks of scripting. Whoever helped her craft this story took a hard look at the supposed attack and decided it just wasn't enough. So they embellished it a bit more.

"How about if you were to say you feared for your life?"

So they added this crap about "unintentional murder" - what a joke that line is. It is one of the red flags that shows you that the entire thing is a crafted ambush rather than a real attempt at remembering any real event.

So, you thought this guy was a potential murderer as well as a would be rapist. And you were so well loved, a cheerleader and all that, that 36 years later dozens of classmates are willing to publically vouch for your stellar character - yet you didn't actually HAVE the character to warn even ONE of them about this potential predator?

The not telling 1 single friend is simply not credible. Women keep secrets when they are deeply ashamed. Incest is probably the leading category for that, or other type of family friend/clergy type abuse. But some asshole attacks you at a party? You would tell everybody what a loser he is, to shame him. People that keep secrets are usually embarrassed that their body was violated in such a shameful way. She admits there was only "attempted" violation, no actual violation. There is no reason to be ashamed, hence no reason to conceal this "horrible" event from anybody except maybe your family who doesn't even know you are drinking and cavorting with boys to begin with.

thanks I’ll look for that. If any of that is true, it may be why the woman has no plans to show up Monday for a cross examination.

I haven’t read the full story because I don’t believe the allegations. Can someone tell me exactly what she claims he did to her over 35 years ago? Did he grab her ass or wrap his arms around her and hug her? We’ve all done things in high school that we wish we handled differently. I’m not talking about criminal acts, just bad manners or poor taste. I’m sick and tired of democrats pulling this last minute character assassination when they don’t get their way. The republicans should ignore this nonsense and confirm the judge.

Brett Kavanaugh high school yearbook raises new questions about Supreme Court nominee


Is any of this true, or did you forget the /s, notation? And even if that yearbook stuff IS true, that still falls under the heading of teenage boys being jerks. If he groped, but there is no rape, it may be sad, but has NOTHING to do with his adult life.

She got a BS in Psych from UNC and STARTED TEACHING AT STANFORD the same year?

Sure. Sure she did. That’s how you get on the faculty at Stanford. Right.

Why is this being allowed? This needs to go viral, IMO.

https://dailycaller.com/2018/09/18/soros-kavanaugh-protesters/

Activists backed by left-wing billionaires like George Soros are giving cash to protesters arrested for disrupting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings.

The cash is for the protesters to resolve their charges after an arrest.

Activists also explained how individuals could be arrested and released in order to disrupt the hearing multiple times a day.

Left-wing groups funded by George Soros and other major Democratic donors hand out cash to protesters arrested for disrupting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, the activists revealed Monday night.

A coalition of activist organizations including Women’s March, the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD) and Housing Works have scheduled the near-constant disruptions at the Kavanaugh hearings as part of an organized effort to derail the confirmation process in a series of meetings since he was first nominated.

The cash from the donor-funded groups goes toward the protesters’ post-and-forfeit payments — a small cash sum paid to resolve low-level misdemeanor crimes and avoid jail time.

Those are just some of the details representatives from the three groups revealed in a Monday night conference call planning their next two anti-Kavanaugh protests, one on Thursday and one next Monday.

The Daily Caller News Foundation received a tip with the dial-in code for Monday’s conference call and was present on the call in its entirety. One reporter, who asked questions, revealed his name during the introductions portion of the meeting.

Protesters only need a government-issued ID and “your cash for the post-and-forfeit,” CPD national field organizer Darius Gordon said on the call.

The left-wing organizations would provide cash for the post-and-forfeits to protesters who didn’t show up with their own money, Gordon and another organizer, Housing Works national advocacy coordinator Paul Davis, both said on Monday’s call.

“If you do not have access to your cash we will certainly be able to arrange to get it to you before the action,” Davis said, noting that they had done so at previous anti-Kavanaugh protests.

Women’s March co-president Bob Bland, who also helped lead Monday’s call, praised protesters for putting “our bodies on the line again and again and again.”

The Senate Committee on the Judiciary postponed Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote, previously scheduled for Thursday, after Palo Alto University professor Christine Blasey Ford accused Kavanaugh of drunkenly trying to force himself on her at a party when they were in high school.

Kavanaugh has firmly denied the allegation.

The activists on Monday’s call aim to go beyond delaying Kavanaugh’s confirmation and kill it altogether.

“Postponement isn’t enough,” Bland said, describing the allegation against Kavanaugh as “an incredible revelation.” Bland believes there is a “30 percent” chance Kavanaugh’s nomination

TIMELINE:

<><>DiFi sit on Ford's letter for two months. Ford said she wanted to remain (cough) "anonymous."

<><> And this from THE WASH/POST: Ford contacted The Post through a tip line in early July,
b/c it appeared Brett Kavanaugh was on the shortlist of possible USSC nominees.

<><>A registered Democrat who has made small contributions to political organizations,
Ford contacted her congresswoman, Democrat Anna G. Eshoo, around the same time.

<><> In late July, she sent the infamous letter via Eshoo’s office to Sen. Feinstein, ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.

The left doesn’t simply want to WIN, they are committed to DESTROY anyone and everyone who does not think their way.

And that is because, whether the majority of the Left know it or not, the foundation of their way of thinking is now pure Marxism/communism.

It is the communists who took it upon themselves to infiltrate and brainwash academia and the media. That doesn't mean that those who have been brainwash consciously know that they have been brainwashed and/or what it is into which they have been brainwashed.

Academia itself has by now brainwashed a generation or more into the "cause." In fact, those in the media were probably also initially brainwashed while in college.

I don't think those on the Left really know what is driving them or what the end goal of their cause is. They don't really know that they are being used to implement communism (Democratic Socialism, as they prefer to call it). Yet, however much they may not know that it is communism calling the tunes, they sense intuitively that opposition mustn't just be beaten. They know that their opposition must be obliterated...must be stamped out entirely.

The reason for this is that they are beginning to realize that as long as there are any who can oppose them, their fragile ideology will be threatened and threatened existentially.

Furthermore, the Left is beginning to realize that the fragility of their ideology is such that it cannot just exist in one country, it has to be forced on everyone, everywhere for it to work.

The beast behind the Left, behind the brainwashing, is beginning to emerge.

You can see it manifested in the shocking victory of Bernie over Hillary...and in the emergence of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Neither Bernie nor Ocasio-Cortez know why they are suddenly popular, they are merely riding the wave.

It is the wave--the beast itself--that is at long last emerging into public view.

Nor to sound melodramatic, but war is coming. In fact, it has already begun.

This appears to be pretty bogus data - seems the source is a tweet by a user named “lodgenixon” who has already disappeared from Twitter.

Bogus account now gone:

Her story is full of enough holes, that even if she was a regular girl (not alcoholic, not promiscouus) - it’s still a pure scripted ambush on Kavanaugh.

yeah no worries, I like to try and chase down data like that - because in this case, it would be extremely pertinent! But Twitter can be a real mess, lots of 1 off hit type posts like that then the people disappear!
