Will the investigation matter in the end?

I suspect most of the interviewees will say they don’t remember and not much new information will come out. The Republicans will say ok you had your investigation and vote for him anyway. I hope I’m wrong but that’s how I see it going.

But the important thing is that McConnell hasn't moved forward because he knows he doesn't have the votes yet.

I honestly think the reaction from women in America has actually gotten to the few remaining Senators whose votes matter.

We can hope...

be good for beer bong Brett. His old buddies are coming out to refute his LIES. New woman was on Cuomo tonight. She said I would of kept quiet if his dumb ass didn't lie about his partying. If he's lying about this then what else is he lying about?

Client is doing a big interview Sunday night so that should be Mondays news. RWers are freaking out. I’m happy at the moment!

The last thing I would do is go on tv while my case was being reviewed by the FBI. Am I off my rocker???? Not the first time. Lol.

they're only reviewing Dr. Ford's allegation.

Here's what I don't get, Swetnick claims she was at 10 different parties where women were drugged and raped by multiple teenage boys, and she claims she was raped at the 10th one.

Here's what makes no sense at all, why did she, as an adult, go to teenage high school parties?
Why would she keep on going to these parties knowing what she knew?
Why wouldn't she go to the police with her knowledge of what was going on at these parties?
And finally, why is this the first time anyone has ever heard of these rape parties?

In such a small community, this would quickly get out, so, in my mind, I'm treating this with a lot of skepticism.

these are legitimate questions.

Here's a further question,
Why hasn't anyone else come forward with these allegations?

Esprcially when she was 20 hanging with 15 year olds. But I hope we get the story someday.

But unless the FBI finds a video of Kavanaugh raping and dismembering someone, the Republicans are going to say that there is not sufficient proof that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted anyone, and a tie must go to the runner. Kavanaugh will be confirmed and on the Court for life, where he will retaliate against the left for decades, just as Thomas arguably has done. I don’t see this as a victory. Hopefully, it will help us take back both the House and the Senate. But even if we take the Senate, impeachment of Kavanaugh won’t be an option because we won’t have 2/3rds of the Senate and we will be dealing with a conservative Court for many years.

The LAST thing we need is Lindsay going on camera in front of America saying, “see. We predicted this and democrats wasted tax payer money.” Or whatever crap he would say. Anything must be included that he lied about the situation.

Like Benghazi?

Finding the truth is deliberately limited in this case.

Or does he mean not allowed to find anything detrimental to Kav?
