Ford will not testify until the FBI investigates
I didn’t know the FBI employed historians and archaeologists
Vote tonight then. Sensor Feinstein for this lame-assed tactic and investigate her for High Treason with the Chinese all in one move.
It's a desperation "hail Mary" maneuver.
Schedule the vote and get it done.
Statute of limitations has long passed, even if everything she said was true, which I doubt. Therefore there is no chargeable offense to investigate.
Vote on thursday. Dems already made thier move. Now the Reps need to Man-up!
If they go back only 50 years..OK...If they go back further, I’m in BIG trouble!!!!!!!!!!
Wondering if this Fiasco was just to get the Democrat based jazzed for the November election.
Schedule the committee vote for Monday morning, and until then, point out the flimsy nature of the accusation and accuse the Dims over and over of calculated delaying tactics.
And put all needed pressure on any shaky Republicans.
It’s a local police issue but a high-school boy touches a titty? Thank God I didn’t grow up in this era, I would have been in a cell right next to Al Capone.
If true, that means she will never testify. But this stance allows her to try to pin the blame on the FBI/GOP/Trump.
Forgive my ignorance, but why is it suddenly so vitally important to her that the FBI investigate?
FBI doesn’t handle attempted rape or groping issues outside of a federal crime issue. End of story. She knows this, her story knows this, the Dems knows this. This was/is a delay tactic of the most partisan, disgusting corrupt degree to smear a innocent man just so that they can hope to take the senate and stop futher SC nominees
i saw Judge Napalotano (spell?) the other day on Fox...he said Kavanaugh has already undergone 6 intense FBI background checks/investigations for all his judgeships and nothing has come up...
Is it too much of a coincidence that you name a witness (Mark Judge) someone who published a book in 1997 ("Wasted: Tales of a Genx Drunk") about his alcoholism - which included blacking out - starting as an adolescent in the same prep school at the same time as Kavanaugh? Just the witness you certainly knew could not reliably be used to disprove your allegation.
>>FBI investigate a teenager rager?!
They may have been drinking beers and singing Louie Louie.
clutch the pearls!

“Click on the audio link at the top of the page to hear from Predoehl, or look below to dig into the FBI file on the investigation.”
since it is in the scope of a USSC nominee background process. The cat is out of the bag and the republicans have been checkmated by the devious democrats. Now Feinstein has said there is much more she ill let come to light. Instead of grassley off mcconnell giving her 24 hours, she is having that threat over the proceedings. This nominee will die from delay poisoning. and if the dems win the senate back Trump ,will have to put eric holder on the court to get anyone past them.
Yes, the FBI needs to investigate right away. For the children... After all, if it only saves one titty! LOL
What a SHAME that these BASTARDS have gotten away with putting such a stain on an honorable man’s character!!! WELL the one good thing is they WON’T be able to play this card again, BUT at the cost of Judge Kavanaugh’s reputation and utter lies his young children and wife had to listen to!!!
CNN
(CNN)The woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault says the FBI should investigate the incident before senators hold a hearing on the allegations.
In a letter addressed to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and obtained by CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” Christine Blasey Ford’s attorneys argue that “a full investigation by law enforcement officials will ensure that the crucial facts and witnesses in this matter are assessed in a non-partisan manner, and that the Committee is fully informed before conducting any hearing or making any decisions.”
The letter from Ford’s lawyers notes that despite receiving a “stunning amount of support from her community,” Ford has also “been the target of vicious harassment and even death threats” and has been forced to leave her home.
“We would welcome the opportunity to talk with you and Ranking Member Feinstein to discuss reasonable steps as to how Dr. Ford can cooperate while also taking care of her own health and security,” the letter from Ford’s lawyers said.
“What we’re saying is there should be an investigation because that’s the right thing to do,” Ford’s attorney Lisa Banks told Cooper.
“She is prepared to cooperate with the committee and with any law enforcement investigation,” she added.
The letter comes after a day of uncertainty about whether the hearing scheduled for Monday would even take place, as Republicans continued to emphasize their repeated efforts to reach out to Ford.
Last week, news surrounding a private letter that had been sent to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California, raised potential questions about Kavanaugh’s nomination. Feinstein later announced she had given the letter to the FBI. On Sunday, The Washington Post published a story that detailed Ford’s personal account of an incident that Ford said took place when she and Kavanaugh were both in high school.
Ford alleges that while at a party, Kavanaugh pushed her into a bedroom along with his former classmate Mark Judge, and attempted to remove her clothes. She also alleges that Kavanaugh put her hand over her mouth when she attempted to scream. Kavanaugh has denied the incident, and he and Judge both deny being at the party in question.
“This is a completely false allegation. I have never done anything like what the accuser describes — to her or to anyone. Because this never happened, I had no idea who was making this accusation until she identified herself yesterday,” Kavanaugh said in a statement. “I am willing to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee in any way the committee deems appropriate to refute this false allegation, from 36 years ago, and defend my integrity.”
The public accusation led Grassley on Monday to announce that the committee would convene next Monday to give both Kavanaugh and Ford the opportunity to publicly testify, as both had indicated a willingness to do so.
But as of Tuesday afternoon, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Republicans had yet to hear from Ford or her lawyer regarding their request for her to testify.
Democrats have pushed back on the hearing. All 10 Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a letter on Tuesday to FBI Director Christopher Wray and White House counsel Don McGahn arguing that the FBI should conduct an investigation prior to a hearing.
“The Committee should have the completed report before any hearing occurs and we ask that you take immediate steps to make sure that we have the FBI’s report before we proceed,” the senators wrote.
