Kennedy to retire - USSC will swing even further right

I am assuming that they don't want the FBI to ask her questions about it. Same reason she didn't give it to the SJC.

 

why this is a problem

I imagine you'd prefer a conspiratorial answer, or better yet, just an ominously asked question left hanging with no answer, but the answer to me is obvious. Not sure if you've been paying attention, but for the past several days she's been pissed that the FBI isn't planning to interview her and has been very publicly trying to get them to do so. The public "shame the FBI" campaign didn't work, so that is the only other lever she has at her disposal. You want this evidence so you can say you did a thorough investigation with a semi-straight face? Come talk to me, as I've been asking and I'll give it to you.

She thinks they are blowing her off, despite being the very reason the investigation is happening at all, and it's the only thing she has that she knows that the FBI wants and that she can use to get them to interview her.

I didn't have to think about why at all.

 

This is so dumb. So why didnt she hand it over at the start of the FBI investigation she wanted? So why didnt she hand it over to the SJC?

Typical sexual assault victim behavior is to withhold evidence that attempts to validate parts of your story until investigators investigate how you want......

 

We don’t usually turn it over unless there is a court order to do so. The basis is usually so that the deposition or interview goes first. I am surprised they are turning it over at all. They must somewhat believe they can still influence the vote by the senate... no reason to turn it over otherwise.

 

Right I know...

I remember the “she will never testify” BS for days and then the “she is just stalling” BS.

She testified, she has cooperated with the FBI. She obviously takes it serious.

She doesn’t even have to turn the documents over at all.

Was it a game when the Republicans dumped thousands of pages of documents in the Democrats laps the night before his hearing? Was it playing games when Trump withheld thousands of pages of emails?

I’m this case it isn’t even political, it is her attorney being smart and representing her client. You get the documents after the FBI interview.

 

I don't think she'd ever turn over a complete copy of her therapists' notes without redaction because they would likely show that she perjured herself when talking about why she was in therapy to begin with. Also, they show her telling several different versions of her story so it's not like they help her in any way.

 

It isn’t a problem. There is nothing that says they cannot interview her a second time if they so wish. Her attorney would be doing a disservice to her to turn over the documents before her interview. It also insures that he is in fact interviewed.

 

Could easily have been consensual, and the activities that followed.

 

Hear, hear.

 

Rather uncharitable, I would say. Yes that's mostly me, disparaging characterizations aside. And any man that has not yet been "red pilled"....I don't know how a person can see this Kavanaugh thing and not see that perspective. That, and a lot of other things. And I'm hardly tragic.

 

Nevermind.

 

Now, this a decent response. I don't deny that any and all of that happens, with actual assault/rape cases.

I would still assert that if one wants justice, one needs to pursue it in the proper legal/judicial realm. If that is beyond the emotional capability of any person, then they are not ready for adulthood, and they should not be engaging in activities that adults do.

Too many of these alleged or real incidents start with "well, I was at a party and I started drinking, then I went up to the room with someone...." There is a real lack of responsibility going on with one or both parties to the "crime." And so, a lot of these situations are very grey.

 

Unfortunately, it's because they cannot defeat him on those grounds. So they turned to the smear campaign.

I wish the Kavanaugh opponents would just admit that this is about abortion rights (you hear this a little, but not very much). At least that would be honest. But again, they fear that this is not a winning argument, politically.

 

And Trump is spot on when he says this issue "is bigger than even the Supreme Court." I definitely applaud how he has been handling this.

My question is why does he feel the need to LIE UNDER OATH TODAY about what he did in high school and college.

 

Stopped reading after the article called the second accuser a “transparent fraud”. There hasn’t been even the slightest indication she is a transparent fraud,

This in Townhall/Huffington Post level stuff.

 

Logic of a few CFers. Namely a few that strangely like to beat off to sub machine guns.

 

what did he lie about?
