  1. So, you refuse to hold your own guys to the same standards that you impose on everyone else. Got it. Why am I not surprised?

    FBI could wrap up Kavanaugh probe as early as Tuesday night
    The FBI was given a week to probe allegations of sexual misconduct against the Supreme Court nominee, but sources say the agency could finish early.

    Ford's attorneys sent a sharply-worded letter to the FBI Tuesday afternoon expressing dismay over the reports that the agency wasn't planning to interview their client.

    The lawyers, Michael Bromwich and Debra Katz, wrote that they've heard nothing from the FBI after sending a "series of emails and letters in which we identified witnesses and evidence that would likely assist" the investigation.

    "It is inconceivable that the FBI could conduct a thorough investigation of Dr. Ford’s allegations without interviewing her, Judge Kavanaugh, or the witnesses we have identified in our letters to you," the lawyers added in the letter.

    Also of note, they haven't interviewed any of the witnesses named by Ramirez

    Blasey Ford's Kavinaugh Testimony Unravels After Ex-Boyfriend Refutes Key Claims


    Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) fired off an intriguing letter to Christine Blasey Ford's attorneys on Tuesday, requesting several pieces of evidence related to her testimony - including all materials from the polygraph test she took, after her ex-boyfriend of six years refuted statements she made under oath last week.

    Grassley writes: "The full details of Dr. Ford's polygraph are particularly important because the Senate Judiciary Committee has received a sworn statement from a longtime boyfriend of Dr. Ford's, stating that he personally witnessed Dr. Ford coaching a friend on polygraph examinations. When asked under oath in the hearing whether she'd ever given any tips or advice to someone who was planning on taking a polygraph, Dr. Ford replied, "Never." This statement raises specific concerns about the reliability of her polygraph examination results."





    Ford's ex-boyfriend also claims that she never told him about any type of sexual assault in almost a decade of knowing her (of which they were romantically involved for six years).

    "During our time dating, Dr. Ford never brought up anything regarding her experience as a victim of sexual assault, harassment, or misconduct. Dr. Ford never mentioned Brett Kavanaugh," the ex writes, adding "While visiting Ford in Hawaii, we traveled around the Hawaiian islands including one time on a propeller plane. Dr. Ford never indicated a fear of flying.

    Ford's ex goes on to note "Dr. Ford never expressed a fear of closed quarters, tight spaces, or places with only one exit," further refuting her testimony. "She ended up living in a very small 500 sq. ft. house with one door."

    The "second door" story has separately come under scrutiny in recent days, as some have suggested the second door she installed due to "clausterphobia" as well as "anxiety, phobia and PTSD-like symptoms."

    That said - RealClearPolitics' Thomas Lipscomb notes that the door may have actually been installed to accomodate a renter at her house.

    since 1993, and through some listings even today, there was another tenant at what is now the Ford property. It is listed as this person’s residence from 1993 to July 2007, a week or so after she sold the house to the Fords.

    Her name is Dr. Sylvia Randall, and she listed this address for her California licensed practice of psychotherapy, including couples psychotherapy, until her move to Oregon in 2007.

    Currently she only practices in that state, where she also pursues her new career as a talented artist as well.

    But many existing directories still have Dr. Randall’s address listed at what is now the Ford residence.

    Randall was evasive when Lipscomb called her - refusing to answer whether she sold the house to the Fords or was a therapist to the Fords. Perhaps the FBI needs to interview Randall before they conclude their speedy investigation.

    Some witnesses say they called FBI in vain as end of Kavanaugh probe looms

    (Reuters) - Several people with information related to allegations of sexual misconduct against U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh say they have tried in vain to speak with the FBI, which is expected to wrap up its investigation this week.

    Lets think about this logically here. I've known a few non-teetotalers.
    If Kavanaugh is such a huge drinker, then in the last 15 years:

    1) He'd more than likely have gotten at least 1 DUI. Or at least passed a field sobriety after a traffic stop.
    2) Doesn't drive? I'm 100% sure Uber would have leaked (via a 'hacker' to cover their ass) a record of his multiple ride-shares. Drivers would have come forward by now.
    3) At some point one of the parents of his basketball team kids would have smelled alcohol.
    4) Someone at the Federal Courthouse would have smelled booze on him in the morning.

    This guy has a pretty busy life that puts him in the company of a multitude of individuals everyday.
    ....When is this guy drinking!?

    You are welcome to dispute anything in the ZH article if you want. You know, rather than just writing it off because it comes from a particular website you don't like.

    Your Reuters article has nothing to do with the ZH article. Not sure if you were trying to use that to contradict something or whether you intended for it to be completely unrelated.

    Incidentally, just because people call the FBI asking to be interviewed doesn't mean the FBI is under obligation to do so. If they were, they could easily be manipulated and overwhelmed by anyone trying to stall the investigation with hearsay for as long as they want.

    He is obviously drinking in the same magical field of unicorns and rainbows where liberals spend most of their life.
