Christine Blasey Ford “welcomes” the FBI investigation into her allegations that she was sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, one of her attorneys confirmed Friday.
“A thorough FBI investigation is critical to developing all the relevant facts,” Debra Katz said in a statement. “Dr. Christine Blasey Ford welcomes this step in the process, and appreciates the efforts of Senators Flake, Murkowski, Manchin and Collins — and all other senators who have supported an FBI investigation — to ensure it is completed before the Senate votes on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination. No artificial limits as to time or scope should be imposed on this investigation.”
Republican senators have stressed that the probe should delay the vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation by no more than a week.
I presume Mr. Avenatti is of the same mindset?
Please proceed…
This team has been nothing short of kick-ass throughout all proceedings/negotiations/testimony/etc.
I much more respect their approach than carney-barker Avenatti’s.
Will Mark Judge lie? The fact that he refused to leap to Kavanaugh’s defense–his supposed friend–by testifying in public adds weight to Ford’s allegations.
So…, is there any reason to be skeptical that there will indeed be an FBI investigation and that it will be both thorough and timely? And that the full report will be made public? What could possibly go wrong? After all, every Republican has been operating in good faith all along. Right?
True, but one thing I’ve learned from the republicans is that sometimes making a splash, even a messy splash, can be very effective at moving an agenda forward. So I think there is a place for both - steady persistence and noisy china smashing.
