It's a different thing if you lie under oath, then have multiple people refute what you said.

Just curious, are you against all witness testimony?

Not if used properly.

 

[RanzB]

Not if used properly.

Examples please.

 

[rietrot]

Examples please.

You have a witness that claims someone called them and tried to influence them. With some telephone records, back up evidence. That's a credible claim that needs investigation.

You have a witness that claims someone was drunk 40 years ago when they were drunk themselves in a setting where everyone was drinking and might or might not have been drunk. Not credible

So without that call record, you don't consider other witness testimony regarding an alleged incident credible?

If I claimed you send me a Whatsapp message/email/telephone call, whatever. Why would it be a problem for me to show that massage as evidence? It immediately removes the he said, she said nonsense.

That's not what I asked.

So if the FBI finds he lied he will not be confirmed. So if he's confirmed what do we make of this then?

 

[rietrot]

That's not what I asked.

The backup evidence makes it credible or not, because in this case there should be evidence and if there isn't it brings the claims into question.

 

[rietrot]

So if the FBI finds he lied he will not be confirmed. So if he's confirmed what do we make of this then?

He will most likely be confirmed anyway, because the lefties has lost all reason and just scream sexual assault.

I see you've nicely avoided your hypocrisy from the previous post. Nonetheless to answer your question:

Confirmation or not doesn't mean the allegations are true or false. None of us have any idea what happened 35 years ago, and he deserves the benefit of the doubt when the proof is her word against his.

However, he has proven that he is not an honest person, and lying under oath while testifying at a confirmation hearing should exclude him from being confirmed. I'm sorry, but that's exactly the position you would have if a Democrat-nominated judge would have lied at his confirmation hearing, and that would be my position if he was a Democrat-nominated judge who lied at his confirmation hearing. You'll deny both of those things, but that's out of my control.

The backup evidence makes it credible or not, because in this case there should be evidence and if there isn't it brings the claims into question.

Again, that's not what I asked. If you'd prefer not to answer the question, just let me know.

And the right has lost all morals and have no compunctions attempting to vote in sexual predators.

Another long winded post in order to avoid answering my question out right.

If he is confirmed, what does that say bout his "lies"

 

[rietrot]

The right sees the smear campaigns and knows their morals is used as a tactics against them. It's getting old.

It is exactly what you asked. You just don't like the answer.

Wtf. I answered your question. Unless you were talking about a different set of lies. There have been a lot.

Lol. Okay then. You did not. But anyway.

Nope you pranced around it again like you always do.

If he's confirmed, does that confirm that FBI didn't find that he lied?

 

[cerebus]

If he's confirmed, does that confirm that FBI didn't find that he lied?

The FBI doesn't even have to confirm his lies, they're blatantly obvious. Devil's triangle is not a drinking game, boofing is not farting, and 'ralphing' at 'beach week' is not a reference to Indian food, unless you think we're all stupid. The FBI should need to find something much more serious with which to block his nomination, because guess what - the GOP don't care. They all lie.

 

[RanzB]

Nope you pranced around it again like you always do.

Are you retarded? He already has lied. As I said, you'll have to be more specific. Are you talking about the alleged rape or the other lies?

I think you're the retarded one. The Republicans said they will not confirm him if the FBI can prove that he lied. Which I have not seen to be the case yet. No matter what and how you interpret his evidence...
