Granted, the accusers names would come out if they're used in trial, but they're all out now.

Not just the names, but what they had to say.

Even if repugs won’t vote to impeach him, complete the investigation and make it all public.

Why weren't all Trump appointees in sensitive positions of justice and investigation dumped out, day one?

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Shouldn't there be more light? Unless Kavanaugh raped somebody during his hearing, he would have been confirmed.

call the confirmation a sham, get Kavanaugh out of the Supreme Court.

Impeachment should not be the only recourse, it is obvious he was placed there by a corrupt system.

He has the cause he needs to kick Wray to the curb: The sham "vetting" and installation of Brett Kavanaugh.

He seems a lot more like a "mild-mannered Clark Kent" than some "Superman" figure.

TOO "mild-mannered" for my taste, considering where he is now, and the job he needs to do.

But I am currently leaning towards firing the FBI Director and asking for the resignation of Deputy Director.

I am also confused as to why the Senate moved forward on the confirmation without the vetting material from the FBI. Granted, the volume of data would have been light and that alone should have been a red flag. But the Senate should not have had the wool pulled over their eyes so easily, especially since Dr. Ford presented some very creditable testimony. Or did the FBI falsify some of what they found?
