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.

And.....the Dems dont?
Your bias is so inherent it stinks. All of them praised Ford and sang her laurels.. it was becoming sickening to the extreme before asking the same simple confirmation questions repetitively probably to waste time and limit the questions. Poor woman. Then told her how brave she were. Ect..ect... Then attacked Kav from word go with rude attitudes with no respect. Then bitch because of his attitude. All hammering on why won't he ask the FBI
to investigate himself. Why should he.. ? Frecking disgrace. .

Know the difference? One went into the Presidency from an economic disaster. Trump started on 3rd base and Trumpites think he's hitting home runs.

One of the individuals who has been recently vouching for Brett Kavanaugh’s character in the press is Chris Dudley, a Yale classmate of Kavanaugh’s who went on to play in the NBA.

Well, the New York Times reported Monday night that Kavanaugh and Dudley were questioned by New Haven, Connecticut police after a 1985 bar fight which a witness said that Kavanaugh instigated by throwing ice at another patron who’d cursed at him. (Yale’s campus is in New Haven.) Dudley then allegedly smashed a beer glass on the man’s head, opening a wound on his ear that required treatment at a hospital. (At the time, Dudley denied to police that he’d attacked the man and Kavanaugh declined to say whether he’d thrown ice.)

Russian Official Linked to Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Trump Tower Lawyer, Is Dead

A Russian official accused of directing the foreign operations of Natalia Veselnitskaya, the lawyer who met senior Trump campaign officials in 2016, has plummeted to his death in a helicopter crash.

Russian Deputy Attorney General Saak Albertovich Karapetyan was exposed in a Swiss court this year for a plot to enlist another nation’s law-enforcement official as a double-agent for the Kremlin.

Media reports in Russia say he died Wednesday night when his helicopter crashed into a forest during an unauthorized flight in the Kostroma region, northeast of Moscow.

Karapetyan, 58, was intimately familiar with some of the most notorious operations carried out under the orders of Vladimir Putin. He worked closely with Veselnitskaya as well as running some of Moscow’s most high-profile efforts to thwart international investigations into Russia’s alleged crimes.

FBI finds 'no hint of misconduct' by Kavanaugh, Senate judiciary chair says

The chairman of the Senate judiciary committee says the FBI found "no hint of misconduct" in its investigation into Brett Kavanaugh.

The FBI has conducted a background investigation into sexual misconduct claims against the Supreme Court nominee.
Republican senator Chuck Grassley said he received a briefing from staff on the confidential report and says "there's nothing in it that we didn't already know", adding: "This investigation found no hint of misconduct".
Mr Grassley said the FBI could not find any people who could "attest to any of the allegations" against Mr Kavanaugh and that there is "no contemporaneous evidence".

I called it earlier. Like I said, the Senators will be under pressure to vote according to what their constituents want.

But, whereas just 42 percent of Americans say they want Kavanaugh confirmed compared to 48 who oppose him, an overwhelming 84 percent of Republicans want to see Kavanaugh confirmed.

One other interesting finding from the poll — while just 41 percent of those polled say they "most believed Kavanaugh" (as opposed to 48 percent who most believe Ford), 49 percent say Kavanaugh "is the target of a politically motivated smear campaign."

That means that, though small, it suggests there's a subset of the population that doesn't believe Kavanaugh, but still think he's being smeared for political reasons.
