2. Did he rob the bank or just drive the getaway car?

did he shoot the clerk or just cleaned out the cash register?

I think he was the groups "roper"... the guy that found the girls at the bar or party that were drinking or weren't careful with their open glass of alcohol ( so that someone could slip in a rohypnol ).

One evil slimy SOB.

3. The idiot and his minions want to seat a possible gang rapists onto the highest court

Without a proper vetting of all these allegations. Then again he vetted Fylnn, Manafort, Price , and many others that proved to have been ignored , and shows he doesn't care what they've done. If they'll protect him and putin that's all that matters at this point.

4. One of MSNBC panel stressed how big a deal it is for Kavanaugh to be present at the crime of rape

Also, giving drugs to people is also a major big deal.

I was waiting for someone to point this out and am glad that it came out early in the day today.

to insist on an investigation. She says she was drugged and raped but she doesn't say whether Kavanaugh or Judge participated (she probably was too drugged to be sure). But just her statement that they were involved at all should make further investigation absolutely necessary.

Not that it will actually happen; the fix is already in.

In fact, it's now more important than ever to the GOPers and Trump that they get this guy confirmed. They have to prove to us whiny libs that old rich white guys and entitled frat boys rule, and there's not a damn thing we can do about it.

reported out,there are witness's who have not been interviewed. Believe Avenatti has several people who have given statements to the fact that Kavanah was at the scene of the crime.

of course feel their own interests and sympathies lie with protecting the Republican nominee, but that leaves all the others.

Last night and the night before, PBS's Judy Woodruff buried the New Yorker journalists' information that several people in the frat house heard what happened in the penis incident when it happened, though they didn't see it, and one told the journalists she saw a crying girl, likely Ms. Ramirez. Both nights only the NYT's report that 100 people were interviewed and no eyewitnesses found. All 4 reporteldy in teh room denied it. At that point the NYT had not interviewed Ms. Ramirez, so did not have the names she was able to provide. PBS was also silent about Ms. Ramirez's claims about the behavior of the others who were in the room.

and wording of questions is disturbing today,especially on the Comcast Media Outlets. This tells us someone in the Board Room is nervous. Having had a family member who worked as a script writer and as a production manager in a TV studio,I understand the nuances the are built into a Broadcast.

As you have noted,the Cocktail Circuit and the pecking order seems to rule the day.

Now the wraps are off,Donnie Dipstick just went after Avennati. This is now a new game ant Trump will loose do to his lack of Brain Cells.

If "good people" do nothing, evil will most certainly triumph.

13. Does it matter at this point, either way he was involved in criminal activity.

The rapes can send him to prison. Abetting rapes can send him to prison for fewer years. The bastard is fighting for his life now.

If he set girls up using drugs and alcohol and was a serial rapist, what is the difference between him and Bill Cosby?
