bob-tel, the committee and the president have gone on record and offered Dr. Ford the opportunity to present her allegations and any testimony she has in a public hearing before they vote. They have also gone on record saying that if any additional information is presented in those hearings that warrants additional investigation and takes it beyond a he-said she-said situation, they will do it and you will have the delay you so dearly want. So far, she has refused. Judge Kavanaugh also has the right to confront his accuser, and he seems completely willing to do whatever it takes to defend his reputation.
All your arguments look to be specifically taken from left wing talking points. You need to acknowledge that people who suspect this is all a political ploy have legitimate concerns as well.

Re: The Harvey List
As is almost inevitably the case, you're wrong again Flock. If you were a Jeopardy contestant, you would owe them your entire life's savings. The FBI can get involved in this investigation since it involves the fitness of an appointee for a federal position but to no one's surprise, the White House hasn't directed it to do so.flockofseagulls104 wrote: Aside from the fact that the FBI has no jurisdiction in this issue, and that no accuser has the right to demand something be investigated, from what I understand, the FBI has pretty much declared it has already done all it will do.
But Chris Strohm of Bloomberg News, citing someone familiar with the matter, reported that the FBI hadn’t said it didn’t want to be involved in evaluating the Ford accusations.
In 1991, when Hill’s allegations were made public, the FBI became involved at the direction of the White House.
“On Sept. 23, the allegation was brought to the attention of the Judiciary Committee,” a White House statement at the time read. “The Judiciary Committee immediately informed the White House. In consultation with the committee, the White House promptly directed the FBI to conduct a full, thorough and expeditious investigation. Upon completion of the FBI investigation on Sept. 26, the report was submitted to the White House and the committee.”

I appreciate you're giving Dr. Ford the benefit of the doubt and not labeling her a politically motivated liar. But if you want to be convincing, say "traumatized" instead of "hysterical." The word "hysterical" has a worse history than "monkey."BackInTex wrote:Well, she had been drinking. And heck, maybe she was attacked.

That's not what this woman said:Estonut wrote: Interesting. She, herself, originally "told The Washington Post that she told no one of the incident "in any detail" until 2012, when she was in couples therapy with her husband."
She didn't say Dr. Ford told her; she said that there was a "buzz" about it. That's consistent with Kavanaugh and/or Judge bragging and Dr. Ford's being reticent to discuss the matter in detail, but giving off enough of a vibe so that people realized something had gone wrong.A former schoolmate of Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser wrote a Facebook post saying she recalls hearing about the alleged assault involving Kavanaugh, though she says she has no first-hand information to corroborate the accuser’s claims. "Christine Blasey Ford was a year or so behind me," wrote the woman, Cristina Miranda King, who now works as a performing arts curator in Mexico City. "I did not know her personally but I remember her. This incident did happen." She added, "Many of us heard a buzz about it indirectly with few specific details. However Christine's vivid recollection should be more than enough for us to truly, deeply know that the accusation is true."
It's interesting that BiT specifically mentioned one of the reasons he disbelieved her story was because word of something like this would have gotten around. Now, it appears it did get around. It's also quite consistent with those times that a girl who was assaulted would be reticent to bring the authorities into the matter.
If it was a small party, that's even more reason for her not to want to say anything to the others at the party. A rule of thumb when I was in high school was the more hanky panky you wanted to engage in, the fewer people you wanted at the party.

And, as it turns out, that story happened to be fake news.tlynn78 wrote: Student reviews of her professor-ship are, to say the least, interesting.
https://www.businessinsider.com/conserv ... ser-2018-9
It's interesting that the people vehemently opposed to the FBI investigating this matter thoroughly are more than happy to trust Matt Drudge and Laura Ingraham for information about Dr. Ford.On Monday, the conservative website Grabien News published a story quoting negative reviews purportedly written by Ford's students on RateMyProfessors.com. The Drudge Report, a right-leaning news aggregation site, shared the post with its 1.4 million Twitter followers. Laura Ingraham, one of Fox News' top opinion hosts, and Mark Levin, a right-wing radio host, also tweeted out the story."Christine Ford is the worst educator I have experienced," one former student wrote anonymously on the website. "Something's wrong with her," wrote another.
One key missing fact: they were reviews of a different Christine Ford. The comments instead concerned a former instructor in the social work department at California State University-Fullerton, Christine A. Ford. Grabien News later retracted the story and replaced it with an editor's note. "We've since learned there are two Christine Fords working in clinical psychology in California and we wrote this report about the wrong Christine Ford," the site wrote. "We regret not going to greater lengths to ensure this was indeed the same Christine Ford. Please do not share this article with anyone (and if you have, delete it/withdraw it); we are only leaving the page up so you can see this important update."

It's interesting that the people vehemently opposed to the FBI investigating this matter thoroughly are more than happy to trust Matt Drudge and Laura Ingraham for information about Dr. Ford.On Monday, the conservative website Grabien News published a story quoting negative reviews purportedly written by Ford's students on RateMyProfessors.com. The Drudge Report, a right-leaning news aggregation site, shared the post with its 1.4 million Twitter followers. Laura Ingraham, one of Fox News' top opinion hosts, and Mark Levin, a right-wing radio host, also tweeted out the story."Christine Ford is the worst educator I have experienced," one former student wrote anonymously on the website. "Something's wrong with her," wrote another.
One key missing fact: they were reviews of a different Christine Ford. The comments instead concerned a former instructor in the social work department at California State University-Fullerton, Christine A. Ford. Grabien News later retracted the story and replaced it with an editor's note. "We've since learned there are two Christine Fords working in clinical psychology in California and we wrote this report about the wrong Christine Ford," the site wrote. "We regret not going to greater lengths to ensure this was indeed the same Christine Ford. Please do not share this article with anyone (and if you have, delete it/withdraw it); we are only leaving the page up so you can see this important update."

On the flip side, when will comedians learn they show their ignorance and alienate half their audience when they attempt politics?flockofseagulls104 wrote:When will politicians learn they always get themselves in trouble when they attempt comedy?jarnon wrote:S.C.

Re: The Harvey List
No. She said then that the incident was being talked about contemporaneously, and that's all I said. She hasn't backed off that statement, so it still supports the fact that this attack is not a recent invention. --Bobflockofseagulls104 wrote:Fake news, bob-tel.Bob78164 wrote:Looks like I was mistaken.
