I don’t trust the FBI. I’m sure I’m not alone in that around here. ANY interview in this farce process is a COMPLETE waste of time. Which gives rise to a question: Why would the FBI waste their time with interview numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, but NOT interview the Ford? Why??

Am I being overly paranoid in suggesting that they would do that just to give the dems a talking point? LOTS of people will by saying, “Hey! Why did you interview persons 1 through X, but not interview Ford?”

They didn't interview Kavanaugh either. This is not a criminal investigation, it is a background investigation. Ford has provided written testimony as well as appearing before the Judiciary Committee for about two hours.

Usually, Ford's allegations would have been given confidentially to the Judiciary Committee, which would then task the FBI to investigate, including taking testimony from Ford and her witnesses. The results of the investigation would be discussed in a closed door session with the committee including confronting Kavanaugh with the allegations. Ford's identity would not be known publicly nor would she be required to appear personally before the committee.

Instead, Feinstein sat on the allegations for almost two months until the formal hearing was completed. It was then leaked to the media. This forced the committee to address the allegations publicly including interviewing Ford. It was pure politics.

The FBI doesn't need to interview Ford. The Judiciary committee already did that including allowing Ford to make her allegations known without any time limit. Her allegations were investigated by the Judiciary committee staff and Kavanaugh was asked to testify in private about them. The Dems did not even attend this closed door session. All of the committee members received transcripts of not only Kavanaugh, but also the signed statements under the risk of felony of the witnesses named by Ford who were at the event.

The question you should be asking is why is it necessary to interview Ford again?
