Well, I don't pretend to know what is going on in every detail of these situations, since the obvious answer is, none of us do.
Why Kavanaugh won't... my assumption is that he is far smarter than you or I on these types of issues, so the fact that he doesn't leads me to believe that he is making a decision that in the court of law, is smart. I don't know if he is innocent or not. Just as you don't either.
What we do know, is that an serious allegation was made with a striking lack of detail. That is essentially all we know. I'm glad that Ford has agreed to testify. I'm looking forward to all of it.
Also, her lawyers and the media have made it known that there have been death threats against her. In todays world of easily tracked IP's, I look forward to putting faces to these allegations, as well.
Touchdown! Oh, wait... I'm not playing games.
It is possible that Kavanaugh is not demanding an FBI investigation because he knows that such an investigation is more likely to uncover evidence suggesting that he did it than evidence that he didn't do it.
As it stands right now, he and, maybe, Ford testify before the Senate and it's a he said/she said. As long as he doesn't fall apart and confess, he should be OK. But maybe he knows that, if the FBI starts poking around, it can only get worse for him.
You would think that, if he is innocent, he would not only welcome an FBI investigation but actually demand it himself.
Well, in his days advising Bush, Kavanaugh was caught LYING about a claim about something he did that he said he did not do.
If the GOP turns the non-legally binding testimony in a farce--which they are expected to do-- Ford's recourse is to sue Kavanaugh in the Maryland courts. Courts which have no statute of limitations for sex crimes, and where--gasp--non-partisan politicians would hear from real witness; including Kavanugh's best pal, and drunken pal, Judge. And, from Kavanaugh himself who is not exempt from legal proceeding at the state level. . . . . Oh my.
