Pot meet kettle. It is not uncommon for the FBI to investigate nominees. If Kavanaugh was innocent, you'd think he'd welcome a 3 day FBI investigation. Ford doesn't seem afraid of an investigation. What are the Republicans hiding?! Why is Kavanaugh's verbal denial enough?
Just as some are trying to delay, the GOP is trying to rush a vote on a horrible candidate. Total sh*t show when it didn't need to be, but Trump decides to nominate a guy with a ton of baggage.
Duane and others are upset that there is stalling, but are also blaming Ford which is flat out wrong. Trump nominated a guy with baggage, evidenced at least by the thousands of documents the WH refused to release. As far as the Ford allegation, we don’t know so can’t say he’s done something there, but rarely are such accusations completely made up. This is for a SCOTUS seat, it needs to be looked at, period, doesn’t matter how long ago, who appointed and which party is in power.
The fact remains that Ford got tangled up in this political circus by choosing to speak out. We need the details and that process should not be partisan.
