And no a non political professional investigation is not happening, and probably won’t.
But it’s a conscious decision with known risk. Proceed and take your chances. To me it’s not worth the risk.
The problem is we have a 36 year old allegation.
By definition, there can be no clear witness.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, can remember with clarity the events of a gathering.
If Kavanaugh ran through the party wearing only batman underoos, the information gathered would range from him running around naked, to him wearing the underoos on his head.
This isn't opinion. Our brains adjust things over time.
I think something happened at the party with Ford and Kavanaugh. And maybe it was traumatic enough for her to remember some details. Or maybe she was convinced that she remembers enough details to fill in the blanks.
Either way, nobody else will remember any of it with enough detail to derail a man's career.
Meanwhile, we're talking about stuff that doesn't matter today.
Kavanaugh, by all counts, is not a serial rapist. Hell, he might still be virgin. But the liberals want to tar and feather him because of an event that may or may not have happened.
36 years ago.
During his teen years.
An event that wouldn't get him suspended today if he were 17 years old. But might get him removed from consideration.
When did this happen?
1982?
That's 11 years before President Bill Clinton sexually assaulted Katherine Wiley.
An event that didn't bother these same liberals.
Not one bit.
To say it's not political is a f*cking joke.
