3. A "reasonable prosecutor" would not make that judgemet without a full investigation

I agree that it might be hard to convict based on the evidence available, but even that is uncertain without being certain that none of the potential witnesses would flip on Kavanaugh after really being grilled. That has not yet happened. The "investigation" to date has merely been a fig leaf.
