K has a reputation to protect, why wouldn’t he encourage POTUS order the one week investigation? I hope it gets done so there are no doubts, nothing to hide then what’s the problem. I don’t care if he turned into a Boy Scout, if the FBI uncovers enough to corroborate her accusation, then he should be sent packing.

Likely because they're going to speak with his friends and contradict a lot of sworn testimony.

There is a chance the FBI finds out she is a nut job.

I watched parts of yesterdays performance, I'll be amazed if anything comes out of it.
I have a few comments
I don't see the upside for her doing this, not the democrats, her
I don't believe he never overconsumed, even once, never?
His best friends in high school say it never happened
What happened July first and why was Rachel Mitchell yanked when she started to pursue that question?
They definitely were in the same social circle, her father was president of Burning Tree golf club and his father is a member.
Now the rest of us are learning about the hierarchy of Washington private schools—about what it meant, in the eighties, to go to Georgetown Prep as opposed to Landon or Gonzaga, and about the girls’ schools Stone Ridge, Visitation, and Holton-Arms. By all appearances, the kids from these prep schools almost exclusively socialize with one another, and that social network informs their identities for the rest of their lives. As reporters have investigated Kavanaugh’s high-school years, many alumni have expressed fear about going on the record and alienating themselves from a close-knit community. “I guess you could call it a fraternity between a bunch of rich kids,” an anonymous alumnus of Georgetown Prep, who overlapped with Kavanaugh there, told the Huff Post. “All this #^&#^&#^&#^& happens, and then nobody really wants to talk about it, because if one person crumbles, the whole system crumbles, and everybody tells on everybody.” I spoke with another Georgetown Prep alumnus, who hated high school but still didn’t want to go on the record about what it was like there. Even for those who take less pride in the institution, what happens at Georgetown Prep stays at Georgetown Prep.

Did she start it? Otherwise that is irrelevant.
She grew up at a country club. Went to UNC and has a PHD from USC. Teaches at a college.
No need for 2nd and 3rd jobs for her.
Is it a wonder women don't want to come forward when people accuse them of things like RR did.

did anyone find it odd the amount of women friends and women who stated they he knew him signed letters of support? like 65
What’s clear is that the spectre of false allegation continues to dog the reporting of sexual violence. There remains a public impression that false allegations are common and that innocent people suffer as the result of being wrongfully accused.
The evidence on false allegations rape and sexual assault – they are invariably and consistently low. Research suggests that only 4 per cent of cases of sexual violence reported to the UK police are found or suspected to be false. Studies carried out in Europe and in the US indicate rates of between 2 per cent and 6 per cent.
All I have seen here the R Man told the truth the D women lied
When we will never know the Truth even with the FBI
we need Term limits and and age limits

4 Richard Shelby 84 years, 144 days Republican
5 Jim Inhofe Oklahoma 83 Republican
6 Pat Roberts 82 years, Republican

Care to provide any quotes from people who said that, or is that just an assumption you're choosing to make because we're not falling into lock step with the democratic thought process.

I don't think anyone has said she lied...but none of the people she named corroborated her story and her good friend that she named as being there...said she doesn't know Kavanaugh and was never at any such party.....not to mention the other gaps in her story
the republicans bent over backwards to accomodate her and to be respectful to her
the democrats bent over froward and took a dump on Judge Kavanaugh
that's the real difference

i am in favor of the investigation, but here’s why he might object. if the fbi comes back and says that they found no evidence to support his guilt, it’s nit going to change anyone’s mind who is currently opposed to him.
also, it gives the media another week to run stories saying that he is a cannibal who engages in child sex trafficking.

What the FBI reports Trumps (no pun intended) what the media reports and it’s important to get to the true as best they can.

Feinstein said she was told not to release the letter and did not release the letter. She even asked her staff during the hearing if they released it and they all said you asked us previously and we said we did not release it. I'm guessing one of Ford's friends knew Ford sent a letter and they told the Washington Post.

you are 100% correct no one wrote she's a liar
however my reading reading comprehension skills are spot on

if she believes what she is saying, nothing beyond allegations and hearsay, FBI missed it Does anybody believe this?
democrats are doing a fine job of mocking and delegitimizing all actual victims of sexual assault by turing it into a political weapon
2 weeks of character assasination
Most people react with emotion when falsely accused of a serious crime.
Not all accusers are correct in the recollection of who it was that harmed them.
I guess I missed the part where Merrick Garland’s integrity and reputation were destroyed on national TV.
why she has a 900k gofundme page?
I don't think anyone has said she lied

7 phrases in a liar's vocabulary
The next time you suspect you're not getting the whole truth, look for these seven phrases in a liar's vocabulary:
I guess you bounce this off both of their Hearings what was said and how it was said and formulate a less emotional outcome
"Where was I last night?" — Liars will often repeat questions back nearly verbatim in an effort to stall for time. "In natural conversation, people will sometimes repeat part of a question, but restating the entire question is highly awkward and unnecessary," Meyer writes. "They clearly heard you the first time."
"Would not" — To convince people that they're telling the truth, liars will often avoid using contractions and instead emphasize the full-form verbs. "The extra emphasis in the denial is unnecessary if someone is telling the truth."
"Would never" — Liars who use the word "never" when a simple "no" would suffice are usually overcompensating. According to Gary Pearlman in an article for The South Beach Times, "When the evidence is fragile, the words they use often become bold and solid to compensate." Using words like "never" to answer a question also may be a sign that they're dodging it and refusing to answer directly: Saying "I would never cheat on you" is not the same as "I did not cheat on you."
"I don't want to talk about this." — Someone who is telling the truth will go to great lengths to get all the facts straight, but someone who is lying wants to escape the conversation as quickly as possible. "The guilty want the subject changed," Pearlman writes. "If you believe someone is lying, then change the subject of a conversation quickly. A liar follows along willingly and becomes more relaxed."
"To tell you the truth …" — Using words and statements like "honestly" and "I swear to you" could be a sign that a liar is trying a little too earnestly to convince you he's not lying. "When people use these bolstering statements to emphasize their honesty, there’s a good chance they are hiding something," says Meyer. "There’s no need to add them if you really are telling the truth."
"As far as I know …" — Qualifying statements like "The way I see it" give the speaker an out, a way to bend the truth or outright lie without being directly called on it. Meyer cautions against relying too much on this sign, however. "Hedged statements aren’t an absolute indicator of deception, but an overuse of such qualifying phrases certainly should raise suspicion that a person isn’t being totally up front with what he or she knows."
"First we went to the bar." — A skilled liar will be diligent in getting the story straight. That's why he or she will tell that story in absolute chronological order. "They don’t want to get tripped up by an out-of-place detail — there’s enough to think about already," Meyer says. "But this isn’t how we talk when being truthful. We relate stories in the way we remember them, not in strict chronological order."

wdmso- let’s make sure we understand what you are saying. if someone accuses me of being a serial gang rapist, and i say “ i would never do that”, that means i’m probably lying?
so people who are falsely accused, need to consult with the communists guide to linguistics, to construct the proper semantics, to come across as believable?

Apparently, he doesn't need evidence. He just has to make the accusation.

The fact that he didn't confide about the event could mean that there was no event occur. Besides confiding is accusing. Confiding would still be an unsubstantiated statement of the accuser. Using the accuser's words as evidence that his accusation is true is circular evidence. That is, it is not actual evidence if it has no corroboration.

You might want to look up the definition of "Spot On"
Out of your examples, I'll give you one, maybe 2.
Unless you are actually admitting that Hillary actually was a liar and that's why that pic says she's a liar.
You threw up one of my quotes and your super-human reading comprehension skills took that completely out of context (if Spence can use that word I can too)
It was in reference to the circus side show that was created around this, not what she said.
So work a little more on those skills, would you please.

I have faith in the FBI as well, but Facebook, Twitter, and other social media pages Being what they are, the facts will be lost in a sea of misinterpretation.
