Kavanaugh Hearing

They are pretty extensive, especially if you are going to be in close proximity to POTUS in the White House. Typically a subject is answers the questions and does an interview, the FBI then goes and interviews people you listed as knowing you at that time (Parents, friends, School Admins, teachers, etc) and then get other names and interview people that knew the subject but may not be friends with or close to. Any serious issue will be followed up on. As an example, any use of illicit drugs are typically disclosed early on and the investigators will follow up with the people who where said to be there. It can be a real proctology exam of your life.

 

Easy there little guy, never mentioned the word friend in any of it.

 

I don't have to explain why it might be untrue, I'm pointing out that a polygraph only can be used to prove someone believes them. I've gone through it, so I have some experience with this.

There are also other things that can be done to cheat during the exam. A google search will provide that info.

Dr. Ford needs to provide a time and a place it happened in order to allow Kavanaugh to prove it wasn't him.

And for the third time, what hasn't Dr. Ford's legal team made her therapist's notes available to the JC after showing them to the WashPo?

 

I can't answer your question. I'm not a part of her legal team. I don't know. Maybe because they submitted the four sworn statements, they think it's unnecessary and would rather not give Republicans notes that have insight into her personal life.

It would help your defense of Kavanaugh to be able to explain how she can believe it so strongly to pass a polygraph when it's not true. What's your theory?

 

Trump is on TV. He is rambling about Obama not picking judges because he had so many openings. I wonder if he really doesn't know why and is too stupid to figure out why there were openings or is just lying.

And now he is doubling down on calling all of the women lying because of no charges.

 

Nobody in the FBI is interviewing the witnesses. So, attributing statements to witnesses without investigation is disingenuous.

 

Don't have to. There are a wide range of things that could explain it. The bigger issue is that no witness Dr. Ford has claimed were at the party, say they remember it. No time or place has been provided. How can someone disprove an allegation if they are not provided that information?

It is the same with every accusation. No one has stepped forward to say that they were there and remember as the accuser claims it happened.

If the therapist's notes were used to bolster her case with the WashPost. Now they are off limits. Won't even submit them in a redacted form.

 

Okay. You say a wide range of things. How about you tell us a handful of those things?

 

At least he's honest this time:


That's something.

 

Because they don't support the Ford, Feinstein, Schumer, narrative.

 

What Brett Kavanaugh has stated about using polygraphs as a law enforcement tool has nothing to do with being able to easily discredit a polygraph Ford took. I know you want to make that leap so bad, even though it had nothing to do with your initial post, but even if I agreed with Kavanaugh, that doesn't mean a polygraph test is difficult to discredit.

 

Trump is such a vile human being.

 

He has the attention span of about a 3 year old. He can't finish a sentence without going off on a new tangent, which he won't finish before going off on a new tangent.

He is been on a North Korean answer for 5 minutes in which somehow he is managing not to say anything but be repetitive at the same time because he keeps coming back to the same 4 or 5 tangents.

 

Oh look, an adult in the room:

 

Actually, that directly conflicts with the point Kavanaugh was making. So yeah.

 

My older brother went to small college in Florida. I went there to visit for a weekend to visit when I was a sophomore at UF. I took a liking to one of his girlfriend' friends who was a senior.
My brother told me to forget it. She had had a rough freshman year getting passed around pretty good and had gone celibate. She told my brother that since she had not had sex in over two years that she considered herself to be a virgin again and made that publicly known.

She really believed it, but it wasn't/isn't my place to explain it. I have no idea how she came up with that one. But she really did believe it. Could she have passed a poly on that, I have no idea.

 

2nd paragraph: "conservative onslaught"? Oh, yeah, the way conservatives follow people into a restaurant and harass them until they leave...wait, wha? Oh never mind. Most conservatives are busy with their lives and will be on to other things after this is over. Are there nuts who will threaten people like Dr. Blasey? Sure - they come in all shapes, sizes, colors and party affiliations. That stinks.

Why are Pubs still defending him? Perhaps because there's been no definitive accusation. "I was assaulted....at some point in time....somewhere...by...yeah, Judge Kavanaugh - that's the ticket!" It's death by innuendo and hearsay. If he did any of these things he deserves the ridicule he gets; and, I'll be upfront saying "I was wrong." You don't jettison someone just because someone says something, anything.

Sorry, saying "I was gang raped and saw Kavanaugh and other boys do this more than once; (but, I never said anything to my folks or authorities)" is not credible to me. And she WENT BACK to the parties!!! Sure, I love the parties...the pesky gang rape thing is a drag but otherwise it's a lot of fun. Right.

Democrats have said "we will do whatever it takes to stop Kavanaugh from being on the SCOTUS" and they are doing it. Good job on follow through - bad job on proof. I'll believe evidence, not unsubstantiated claims.

 

He just claimed that he got 52% of women to vote for him. I guess minorities don't count to him...

 

This is actually a really silly argument. Women go to a number of places, including parties, knowing that there is a serious risk of being sexually assaulted. There are frats with reputations for drugging and raping girls that still have women show up to the parties. It's not because nobody knows. In fact, you might want to read some of the many articles discussing how commonplace things like that were at the time. I'm sure some of you will try to argue that they're complicit somehow if they go despite knowing, but that's a joke of an argument. It's like claiming a person is complicit in their own murder if they go into a dangerous part of town.

 

Trump is especially off the rails in this presser. Good lord.
