The willingness to paint Kavanaugh as the victim is particularly disappointing. The claim of "perjury trap" would be funny if it weren't so sad.
Alright, so lets say that do exactly that and come back and say yup, these people said Kavanaugh drank, heavily and was a dick when he was drunk.
Is it more he said she said? Or does it mean more because; the FBI asked the people instead of the same exact penalty of lying by submitting a sworn statement to the judiciary committee?
Mueller 2.0? No restrictions or boundaries, a free check to investigate as long and as deep as democrats insist? Or limited in scope? Longer than a month? Be specific.
1 month and as deep as necessary.
Yes. No restrictions or boundaries. Investigate as long as it takes to shame Republicans into dropping him as a SCOTUS nominee. He is guilty of perjury, and that should have been enough to disqualify him.
Just enough to pass the elections eh? Convenient.
Pretty much Mueller 2.0
Pretty much Mueller 2.0
Was this intended to be a negative comparison? Mueller's investigation has been quite fruitful.
I can’t parse your last sentence. Also, I’d need a transcript of Kav’s testimony to see his exact phrasing and meaning when he characterized his drinking, as the issue of lying to Congress might come up.
Concerning the Ford allegation, testimony confirming his heavy drinking would undercut an implicit (explicit if Kav said as much in the hearing) defense that he never drank so much he’d pass out and therefore would have remembered if he had committed the attack.
Pretty much Mueller 2.0
So, democrats are for not investigating an actual crime, but searching for the possibility of a crime as long as it takes to find one and if you dont find one you keep looking until you do. (indefinitely) until you obstruct enough to get your way.

You're going to actually make that argument? Because someone was drunk enough to pass out, or has been claimed to have been by someone at once point in their life = he did it?
lol!
Read what I wrote again. I was deliberately very careful in what I said. Please parse my words more carefully because I said no such thing as you claim.

The issue is not any crime. The issue is whether Kav has displayed deficiencies of character in his youth and throughout his life that make him unfit to sit on the Supreme Court. His belligerent, bellicose, partisan, blatantly dishonest performance at his hearing should be enough to send him packing. And by "packing," that only means he returns to his lifetime appointment on the second highest court in America. Not quite ruination.
The Federalist Society has a long list of Certified Conservativesthat could be nominated to the court. Kav can't possibly be the best of that bunch.
You're going to actually make that argument? Because someone was drunk enough to pass out, or has been claimed to have been by someone at one point in their life = he did it?
lol!
Did Big Dog hijack your account?
His point is that the lying shows an attempt at covering something up.
Imagine a robbery occurs and the crook gets away in a black car. Jim is suspected of committing the robbery. When given details of the crime, Jim says, "That's not possible, I don't have a black car."
If it turns out that Jim was lying, and that he does, in fact, have a black car, we have good reason to believe that Jim is (badly) covering his tracks. It doesn't necessarily mean that he's guilty of the robbery, of course, but honesty would have made his innocence more believable.
No, no uniform.
ETA: I mean Khaki pants and a blazer. Which is totally NOT a uniform, even when it's prescribed for students.![]()
