I bet they will make contact soon. I think the FBI started with finding a location and interviewing others since Dr.Ford 's statement had already been made.

There's plenty of time to corroborate her testimony with other witness statements.

They may be giving her time out of respect for her emotional state after her Thursday testimony. They may want to give her an official FBI polygraph at some point, which she should pass.

Republicans and FBI are going to say they found nothing and that's where it will end. Kavanaugh will be confirmed and we will have to live with it. THEY ARE ALL REPUBLICANS. I can't believe anyone would even consider this debacle would be looked into.

She gave sworn testimony and they will be going out to determine if there are corroborating accounts. They may circle back around to her before the end of this coming week.
