Exclusive — Sen. Bill Cassidy: FBI Probe Must Investigate Dems’ Collusion to Smear Kavanaugh AP Photo/Andrew Harnik 28 Sep 20183,662 Just like their other tactics throughout this confirmation process, Senate Democrats’ demands for an FBI investigation have never been about getting the facts or finding the truth. If they were, they would have alerted law enforcement months ago, as soon as they learned of the claims. Instead, they waited until the last minute to leak them in order to delay the vote. That is why any FBI investigation of the allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh should include potential coordination between the Democrat operatives and lawyers that assisted in bringing them forth. What Senate Democrats really want is more time to smear Judge Kavanaugh, regardless of the toll it takes on his wife, his daughters, and our country. Democrats will not suddenly require evidence to declare Judge Kavanaugh guilty of being the worst kind of criminal. They will not suddenly abandon their assumption that all accusations against Republicans are credible and to be believed. If the FBI turns up nothing significant, they will say what Joe Biden said in 1991, that the FBI does not reach conclusions. They will say the FBI did not have enough time to conduct a thorough investigation. What they will not do is admit they were wrong to accuse Judge Kavanaugh of being a gang rapist, or a rapist, or a sexual assaulter, or a drunk, or a perjurer, or a hothead unfit for the bench. If the delay facilitates new allegations from Michael Avenatti or someone else, it will not matter how ludicrous they are. Democrats will instantly call them credible, demand more delays, more FBI resources, and more hearings. They will attack anyone who disagrees. Delay, delay, delay. That’s all they want, because their goal is to do anything and everything to smear any nominee — anyone — and block Republicans from appointing another justice to the Supreme Court. We cannot and should not let that happen. Dr. Bill Cassidy, MD, a Republican, is the senior senator from Louisiana
Yes it would be a TOTAL show stopper because Kav under oath stated he never met Dr Ford. Are you not getting it? It's about CHARACTER. We can't have a liar on a Supreme Court bench
Colluding to smear does not constitute a crime, regardless of how we respite such tactic. Lying under oath or sexual abuse constitutes a crime. FBI investigates crimes not what Optionpro likes or does not likes. Does this make it clearer?
I don't believe that Kavanaugh testified that he never met her. He testified that he had no recollection of meeting her but that he may have met her, but that they did not travel in the same circles and that she did not go to one of the catholic affiliated schools which normally socialized with his school, but that he could not rule out that their paths may have crossed somewhere sometime. Gonna be hard to trap him on perjury there. But keep trying.
It won't appease the unappeasable but it will show good faith for wavering senators and give them cover.
Probably be good for your mental health if you observed Shabbat. My real Jew buddy disappears on Friday night and Saturday. He can trade pretty well now.
Awww sometimes you are too cute! Seriously though, a day, day and a half off is a really good idea. The rest of us use this as a diversion when doing a job that from Monday to Friday. I'm online now as I'm waiting at a clinic for a friend at the oncologist. It would improve the quality of your trolling if you had a fresher mind.
Maybe, but I think it more likely that even more bottom feeders will surface and we will get another week of chaos. All designed by dems to get their voters riled up ahead of the mid-terms. Grassley blew it big time giving this woman a national platform. He should have forced the vote last week without the hearing. Could the uproar have been any worse?
