Hey, they finally got Kavanaugh to express an opinion about something!

2 ( +4 / -2 )

Does it strike anyone else as odd that they had a letter from 65 women who knew him 35 years ago countering allegations leveled late last night/this morning?

Yeah, how sneaky are the liberals? So sneaky that Feinstein knew about this alleged allegation and sat on it since June had the information, redacted it and then only now brings it to the attention of the committee and asks the Feds to investigate it. Democrats are so slimy. They know they can't stop this process so now out of the blue this allegation pops up, never before, never during the years Kavanaugh has been on the bench and now that he is going to be nominated to the highest court in the land, this story comes out. Disgusting!

Hehe, the right is whining about 'sneaky', after they wouldn't even debate Obama's pick.

Your whines fall upon deaf ears when you complain about lying in the bed you made.

Be sneakier Democrats. Be sneakier.

Sneaky? Why on Earth would the GOP want to elect someone that they know has the potential to lean liberal on some issues. They want a solid conservative, if the roles were reversed, No Democrat would take the Republicans conservative nominee, let's say it's Kavanaugh, the Dems would never give him a hearing. The Dems would want a liberal on the bench. 

Your whines fall upon deaf ears when you complain about lying in the bed you made.

Well, it doesn't matter, he's going to be confirmed even the FBI said, they won't pursue the matter, so as reckless as it is from the Democrats at least the Feds are smart not to go down that stupid road.

Sneaky? Why would Feinstein NOT sit on this since July if it was of strategic value to wait until now...

Sorry, did you say that bed is uncomfortable? Aww, I bet that sucks.

And then what? it won't stop the process. liberals hold on to your hats and meet the new Supreme Court Justice. Justice Kavanaugh.

You guys need to relax, take a deep breath and take it all in.

The late timing really hits her credibility.

Why is he denying it?  I would of thought that forcing yourself on a woman would be a big positive in  (grab them by the pussy)Trumps republicans eyes.  All he needs to do now is admit he lies on a frequent basis and he is a shoo in.

Two words, "Hail Mary".

alleged sexual assault on a woman while they were in high school in the 1980s.

"Is this a joke?"

Sadly, no, they're actually running with this story.

Kavanaugh is going to be a great Supreme Court justice.

 Why would Feinstein NOT sit on this since July if it was of strategic value to wait until now...

The only strategic value the Dems could find in this is if they could make the case against a vote on Kavanaugh's confirmation based on the fact that he was under investigation by the FBI. It was a stall attempt.

The FBI declined to investigate the issue, based on the information that Feinstein gave them, and turned the matter over to the White House for consideration. So that stall didn't work and Diane knew it wouldn't.

First off, any case of attempted sexual assault occurring in Virginia is a Virginia state matter. The FBI doesn't have jurisdiction and Diane knows that.

The real goal of sitting on this since July was to build suspense and plant the seed. Plenty of people had heard about the "letter" but Diane kept the details under wraps. She even hid the contents of the letter from her fellow Dems. And like I've said before, reality is no match for a propagandized imagination. By the time the rumor mill had gotten done with it, it was looking pretty bad, probably rape.

Now apparently, there really isn't much, if any, "there" there, but that doesn't matter. The seed has been planted and grown. Going into the future the Dems will use Kavanaugh's lurid past as an alleged, teenage, sexual assault attempter to try to delegitimize him as a Supreme Court Justice.

The sexually allegation was possibly fabricated fake accusation by Democrat and left wing activists who do not want conservative Brett Kavanaugh to become an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Who was the accused?

The FBI must investigate the accuser's background and whether the accusation was reported the sexual assault to School authority and Police back there or not. This allegation is serious and the US citizen will want to know whether the sexual assault allegation was true or false.

Why is he denying it?

Conditioned reflex. After all, he is a conservative.

 I would of thought that forcing yourself on a woman would be a big positive in (grab them by the pussy)Trumps republicans eyes. 

And you would be absolutely correct.

All he needs to do now is admit he lies on a frequent basis and he is a shoo in.

Let's give him time, maybe he'll get around to it.

Kavanaugh has been through six FBI vettings, and has been lauded by women from every aspect of his life. He'll be a great Supreme Court judge.
