Quote from: White House Finds No Support in FBI Report for Claims Against Kavanaugh
The White House has found no corroboration of the allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh after examining interview reports from the FBI’s latest probe into the judge’s background, according to people familiar with the matter.

Quote
Still, the White House’s conclusions from the report aren’t definitive at this point in the confirmation process. Senators who will decide Mr. Kavanaugh’s fate are set to review the findings on Thursday, and some of them may draw different conclusions.

So, looks like we've got a new Justice.

Lawyers for professor Christine Blasey Ford released a statement Wednesday night that sharply criticizes an FBI investigation that didn’t include her or many witnesses willing to corroborate some facets of her claims.


“An FBI supplemental background investigation that did not include an interview of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford — nor the witnesses who corroborate her testimony — cannot be called an investigation,” the lawyers said per the Hill. “We are profoundly disappointed that after the tremendous sacrifice she made in coming forward, those directing the FBI investigation were not interested in seeking the truth.”

So, they basically did just enough to give cover to Flake, Collins, and Murkowski to vote Yes, but nothing more than that. I'd like to say that I'm surprised, but that would be a pretty bald-faced lie.

Sounds like a sham.

I couldn't see Trump allowing an investigation that wasn't limited in scope. That said, are we really moving to 'witnesses' who only claim to have knowledge third-hand? I heard stuff like this from someone speaking for Ramirez. I can't remember the woman's name but she kept saying there are people willing to come forward. Then she qould give details like, the person wasn't at the party in question, he didn't even know who Ramirez was, but he heard once from a friend of a friend that kavanaugh flashed his cock out at a party once (lol). This isn't a real account, just that it was shit like that she was talking about.

Like the new witness...
Quote
Appold wanted to act as a witness despite not having a relationship with Ramirez. He said, “I believe her because it matches the same story I heard 35 years ago, although the two of us have never talked.

As i said, the FBI investigation probably was extremely limited, but If it moved to third-hand shit like this then it would become a real shit show.

The FBI investigation was always going to be a whitewash to give cover to Collins, Flake, and Murkowski to vote yes.  The Dems got suckered because DiFi is a senile cat lady and Coons is a simp who believes, contrary to all evidence, that the Senate is not a trash institution.

The Senate has nothing to do with how the FBI investigation was conducted. They're separate entities.

I think the real lede here is that the White House's belligerence in the past two years might have actually affected the independence of the FBI.

I didn't say the senate controlled the investigation.  Flake, who is in the senate, made the investigation a condition of a yes vote.  The JC dems banged on and on about an investigation, and Grassley and the WH called them on it, and now Flake, et al can say "the FBI investigated these claims and found them groundless" and will vote yes.  You could see this coming last Friday.

An FBI investigation to stall the vote or to allow more time to dig up stuff on Kavanaugh was literally the only play that Democrats had at that point. Not that the outcome is a surprise or anything, but if you've only got a pair of 2s to begin with, you might as well play them.

I'm mildly irritated by Coitus' post not in isolation but because one of my triggers is people who blame Democrats for totally unreasonable things. I have a friend who calls Obama a "centrist NewDem" who chose to "roll over" and give up on the public option. I know people who are hard left and constantly call for Pelosi to go even though her voting record is consistently in the most liberal wing of the party (and consistent with the far left sympathies of her district). It's like watching toddlers, and there are enough real sellouts and quislings that you don't have to make any up.

Liberals that don’t like Pelosi are huge Sonic fans.

IMO she’s the most effective House Leader in a long time and is able to wield a decent amount of power even in the majority. Look at Paul Ryan and look at her and realize she actually knows how to build consensus in her caucus and he doesn’t.

I do think it’s unfortunate special K will get confirmed, but I’m curious how this will affect a bunch of other things:
- will Roberts do some kind of weird centrist face turn to try to save legitimacy of the Supreme Court? I think this is semi-likely where we get a lot of rulings that are designed to have as little precedent as possible. Roberts is not dumb and knows that straight up overturning Roe will be very unpopular on a 5-4 ruling with at least one Justice seen by a plurality of the population as illegitimate.
- I think this probably kills Collins in 2020 assuming anybody decent can run.
- eventually the investigations will be glorious, and it’s possible that more info emerges after he’s confirmed that makes it clear he was a bad decision.

I've heard some talk about how Kavanuagh may have to recuse himself from certain cases [or will be called on to do so], because of his partisan ranting at the Senate hearing. It's something that I don't think we've really seen at the Supreme Court level in a long time, to have a judge who is this clearly partisan.

IMO, his partisan background is honestly far more disqualifying than slapping dick to Debbie and has kind of been overshadowed by the more salacious accusations.

His background in the Ken Starr investigation and in the Bush White House and his conduct during both is truly inappropriate for a position on the Supreme Court. It completely destroys any semblance of impartiality and his testimony cements that.

Being generally conservative or generally liberal is not the same thing as being explicitly partisan. Brett seems to be quite obviously the second.

I understand their point but if all 1700 were dragged through the mud and accused of (gang)rape for 9 days would they also remain 'calm'?

It really seems that goalposts just keep getting moved.
- Kavanaugh might've sexually harassed someone and was a heavy drinker in high school
- Kavanaugh whipped his dick out at parties
- Kavanaugh basically gangraped everyone he met ever (Avenatti)
- The Senate should hear her testimony
- No wait, Kavanaugh should actually ask Don McGahn to have himself investigated by the FBI bypassing the senate(????)
- You know what, let's do the FBI thing then
- The FBI investigation wasn't 'real' enough tbh

With that said this happened on both sides
- We'll confirm him no matter what you drag up
- OH that's some shit alright.... whatever, she can tell her story
- Ok pretty good story, investigation then. If you insist...
- The woman doesn't remember anything lol lol lol
- Ok, that was in bad taste but the FBI didn't really find anything so vote we go

At this point I don't think people who go on CNN or to Avenatti to tell that Brett was bad 35 years ago can add anything credible to this.
The accusing party should come up with the evidence. If they can't Kavanaugh is either innocent or a lucky sob. That's just how the system works.
And even though that's not perfect it certainly beats mob rule.

This sounds like someone who is just angry  :doge

Quote
This whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit, fueled with apparent pent-up anger about president trump and the 2016 election, fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record. Revenge on behalf of the Clintons and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups. This is a circus. The consequences will extend long past my nomination. The consequences will be with us for decades.

This grotesque, character assassination will dissuade confident and good people of all political persuasions from serving our country and as we all know in the political system of the early 2000s, what goes around comes around. I am an optimistic guy. I always try to be on the sunrise side of the mountain and be optimistic about the day that is coming, but today I have to say that I fear for the future. The last time I was here I told this committee that a federal judge must be independent, not swayed by public or political pressure. I said I was such a judge, and I will not be intimidated into withdrawing from this process. You’ve tried hard. You’ve given it your all.

No, but the question is how would any of the other justices respond if you did this to them?
Clarence Thomas said his hearing was a "a high-tech lynching" and instead of hanging him from a tree they put him through that as a lesson to the black community that they shouldn't aspire to the Supreme Court.
In hindsight he probably thinks different about it today than he did back then.

Kavanaugh wasn't lying when he said that the hatred for him was part of the 'problems' people have with Trump being elected. He kinda became the sponge to suck up all the hate for the Trump administration.
As for left wing media groups. Well their social media channels sure attacked Kavanaugh all they could. And it's not like any of them are going to back down because the FBI didn't find any more evidence against Kavanaugh.
He'll always be the gang raping judge in their eyes.

Kavanaugh had two choices. He could have his life ruined forever or he could have his life ruined forever but be on the Supreme Court.

If he had stepped down no one would've said: "So great of Kavanaugh to keep politics out of this, his integrity is much appreciated"
No it would've been:
"Kavanaugh the guilty gang rapist should now be removed from all courts and/or thrown into jail for being such a horrible person. Why isn't he in jail yet, hello he already stepped down 5 minutes ago!"
And 'his team' would've said:
"Kavanaugh big coward for stepping down, we already had the votes. Fucking traitor"

So because Clarence said bad language for a justice that justifies what Brett K said? Are you comparing today’s division to the 90’s? Are you saying that a justice saying these words doesn’t lend to further fracturing of the nation? That we should just shrug it off even though Kavanaugh will be *the* law? It’s ok to echo Fox News like talking points at a senate confirmation hearing just because “he was mad?”

The evidence that he lied to the Senate has been there and is right in front of your face. You can look at like any paper and news channel and read it for yourself.

Like the guy who lived down the hall from in college was like “oh yeah, Debbie got drunk and Brett gave her the ol’ Arabian goggles (no offense exo), everybody knew that”

There’s plenty of documentation that he was a sloppy drunk, or was just bald faced lying about his drinking, things he was involved with in the White House, that he leaked details of Grand Jury investigations, or that he went to a party that summer that sounded a whole lot like what Ford said.

Democrats, the media, his acquaintances, and school mates have all produced dozens of receipts showing why he shouldn’t be a justice. It’s not inaccurate to say this investigation was perfunctory and designed to look into as few details as possible and to have as low of a chance as possible at showing any new details.

I think it’s unlilely to work as political cover, but that’s the purpose of it, and not to actually prove or disprove the allegations.

The worst part is that you can provide as much evidence as you want and they’ll still label it a concerted anti-trump propaganda effort. The supporters of Trump act like a cult.

Theres a difference between donating to Hilldawg (hell no) and noting that if the odds of her winning were 80%, then a buy at 71 cents was a good deal.

Also, I made all that money from getting the primaries right

No it doesn't justify anything but I can see why Kavanaugh played the cards he did in this 'lose / lose' situation.
He couldn't go back to being the judge Kavanaugh he was before the supreme court nomination anymore.
Everyone in Walmart now knows he's the alleged gang rapist.

Kavanaugh became the subject in the never ending GOP/Democratic battle that they've been waging since forever and has just continued to escalate.
Who knows, had Feinstein told him during their private questioning that they had 'this' on him. He might've figured out himself it would've been better to give up as he would never survive the onslaught the 24/7 news media would unleash on him and his family. However, he never got a chance to make up his mind because he was already the guilty gang rapist that Trump selected so he was already evil anyway.

Kavanaugh could've been the most perfect and balanced person during that hearing. It wouldn't have mattered one bit. One side had already decided he was guilty (even before there were any accusations to begin with) and the other side had already decided to confirm him (even if he shot someone during his hearings and raped the corpse).

Kavanaugh never had a plan B. The only thing he could do was get confirmed after being nominated or else he'd be dead in the water and he knew that.
This wasn't about picking a judge for the Supreme Court. It was simply a matter of the Democrats wanting to deny Trump another 'win' and the Republicans trying to install another judge.
It's kinda surprising that they came up with someone who at first seemed qualified for this job. I mean, Trump could've nominated Mr. Hankey and the GOP would've stumped for him.

There's no point debating Nintex because he doesn't believe what he's saying himself.

Actually, I think Cory Gardner might be it. He sounds uncertain.
