Well well well … What do we have here?

JoyAnnReid Kavanaugh perjured himself.he is a closet drunk.A functional alcoholic.his wife says it all.she knew her husband was lieing.a pic is worth a thousand words.kavanaugh made a big saw his face an his friend mark face.MARK will not lie to the fbi fr kavanaugh

As they should.

Brett is done. Over finished through caput out bye. Later dude.

Another Lie Typical

Did anyone notice she said Leland introduced her to Kavanaugh but Leland says she never met him? There were many holes in her testimony. The flying, no witnesses, beach people? Wtf are beach people

You're LYING. FakeNews You've yet to correct this story but wonder why a MAJORITY of Americans call you FAKE NEWS? The ABA did NOT call for an FBI investigation. Only the PRESIDENT of the ABA called for an investigation. You knowingly LIE to your viewers and REFUSE to correct.

Even lawyers r scared of him

Maybe he will be disbarred.

The only person the FBI that needs to be reached out is Mark Judge. That is what the democrats cry about . He is the only key to finish this circus. Can be done in 3 days.

I always assumed a judge would listen to all the evidence first then make a decision. Why is it that Kavanaugh accused the Clintons of this “circus”, without any evidence? That does not sound like a Supreme Court judge!!

Ur fooked 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🍻🍻

That must be the legal organization. . . because I suspect any other association of American bars would be all for Justice "I like beer."

❤️❤️

Without one witness..........not one.

Bribritwou Chuck Grassley is too old to be making political decisions that will effect peoples lives for the next 30-40 years. It’s time to pass the baton & move on! KanavaughHearings BelieveChristine ChristineBlaseyFord NoOnKavanaugh CNN KavanaughFord Bribritwou

Good he should be disbarred.

How are they gonna do? Republicans don’t give a shit.

At the last moment? How convenient. INJURY. Lynching in XXI Century. Hypocrites Democrats. 🇺🇸

It no longer matters whether the American Bar Association is calling on the Senate Judiciarhy Committee to halt consideration of Judge Kavanaugh until an FBI investigation is completed. They along with Mitch McConnell intend to ramrod this nomination through. Shameful, disgusting

That would be the reasonable and logical thing to do , but that's not the REPUBLICAN way ! CHANGE IN NOVEMBER !!!

His tears occurred while he testified his 10 year old daughter prayed for his alleged victim, her tears occurred while her heroism was praised. Wow

Delay delay delay. Good job dems

Because the BAR is politically owned by the left which protects it's members from tort reform

Just because he's a supreme court judge does not preclude an FBI investigation. Carry on. Keep calm!

Screw the American Bar Association...

He’s been through 6 FBI investigations. Funny how NOT ONE PERSON said he was a drunken, drug pushing, rapist! Wake up America! I’ve personally gone through these investigations as well and the FBI is so thorough they’re interviewing your dog WalkAway WalkAwayDemocrats2018

JoyAnnReid See. We the People, non of these individuals on either side are individuals fighting for equality.

Wow!

Hold on. We are not telling the rules. This is special counsel issues.

There is a ridiculous belief that because of this mans political record he should not be held to the same law as we all are. I am sure that Dr. Ford only wants justice.

The American Bar Association should just go ahead and disbar Kavanaugh. Lets see what happens then.

Injustice! There should be a full FBI investigation before confirming Kavanaugh. If he is innocent as he claims, they there is not need to rush his confirmation. truthalwaysprevail

He fucking did it!

gabbysalinas Look

A very reasonable request ... but is not likely to occur before November ... if ever ... thus, without a clean record, Kavanaugh will always have an addition to his hsitory that he will likely never lose ...

This could have happened in July but didnt.

OMG! “Halt” how about dismiss completely from consideration. How about disqualify him now from further consideration. Regardless of his guilt, the scandal alone should remove him from consideration, and his blatant lies and evasions and omissions.

Why? To stall some more ? No proof vote him now

Coached by the WhiteHouse to display emotion in order to confuse people into thinking it is a display of honesty. Exactly what your teenager would do as they denied what they obviously did. Think!

no the ABA is not calling for it, only the president of the ABA said that, but not officially the ABA, stop lying

ABA America Magazine Yale Law School All coming out in some way against Kavanaugh

Kavanaugh just looks like a complete prick in real life. Like there’s nothing nice or friendly about him.

seen from abroad this case is frankly ridiculous! a simple accusation that destroys a man just before his appointment, facts that are supposed to be over 30 years old, witnesses who have not seen anything ... all the means are good to hinder Trump!

Anyone That Goes Before The Supreme Court Supporting Progressive Agendas, Or Perceived As Doing Such, Will Now Have A Judge On The Supreme Court Who's Judgement Has Already Been Written Without Being Heard First,

Waiting for Trump supporters to launch Boycott towards the American Bar Association 🤔 LOL

And now the Dean Yale University. This is powerful ! InvestigateKavanaugh

Old news already. The Republicans don’t care; they will ramrod Kavanaugh right through. They will be through as well...November 6th is around the corner.🌊

Hoping they have a lot of power!

That’s because Maxine waters and jimmy kimmel haven’t weighed in yet.

And that is as it should be.

JoyAnnReid This the only democratic talking point

Stop CNN.

Afraid of the FBI, why?

theclevermoon I would demand an investigation if I were Kavanaugh; if he's innocent, then his name would be cleared. Save his reputation. Obviously, HE KNOWS HE'S GUILTY, hence he isn't demanding an investigation!

JoyAnnReid This is a huge story. 1 is an appointee the other determines if 1 is qualified 2 even try or legit a case in court, which is how 1 becomes a judge. what R Repubs. afraid of?

JoyAnnReid More HillaryClinton cheap tactics... ConfirmKavanaugh

ABA is a Left wing tool

JoyAnnReid They need to broach the subject of disbarment to get their attention. Else it’s only useless bluster.

Can the BAR not suspend his license then?

And ChuckGrassley says this is from only 1 man-the President of the ABA. That presents a challenge to attorneys: A new letter needs to go out signed by thousands, then sent on to Chuck.

You know they are scared of the Truth! Disgraceful!

JoyAnnReid Then get the FBI to do his job! You are taking the word of someone that have perjured himself more than once! You have decide to ignore Mrs. Ford!! She has nothing to hide & have called for the FBI to probe! Your boy wont! wonder why? Why trump refuse to give Dems all his papers!

JoyAnnReid Can the ABA open its OWN investigation of Kavanaugh? Serious question...

JoyAnnReid Just remember your words bart. What goes around comes around.

JoyAnnReid ABA has no authority? FBI can’t investigate? They are only focusing on the leak. Nunez would have kept it confidential? Highly unlikely.

JoyAnnReid Why. The Republicans really don't give a 💩!

JoyAnnReid They’re partisan.

The Looney Democrats want the FBI investigation just to drag it out for years, obstructionism is all they are good at

JoyAnnReid yeah... am... no that's not going to happen. Win an election - LindseyGraham

Can an Ethics Committee where he is licensed undertake proceedings to take his law license?

JoyAnnReid Too late ... And we all know that every single accusation brought against Kavanaugh will fade away and disappear promptly following his appointment to the Supreme Court. Ask yourself why?

About time someone did something about creepy Kavanaugh.

JoyAnnReid Grassley just gave tge excuse for this. It was just the President of the ABA. So to the republicans it’s a whole lotta nothing.

JoyAnnReid NoKavanaughConfirmation

JoyAnnReid Grassley just shared that the letter only came from the president not sure from the ABA as a whole

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! FBI has investigated & thoroughly VETTED Judge Kavanaugh SIX TIMES in his career, & found NOTHING of this nature that even alludes to sexual assault! Witnesses have denied the event ever occurred! Your barks & growls aren't going to matter! He's innocent!

The AMA. the voice of reason!!!

Only in America can the American Bar Association request that there be more of an investigation and they're not be one only in America can a rich white man rape a woman and become a judge the next day. I am Sorry women of AMERICA this is a slap in the face.

Agree 100%.If he is not guilty why is he running from anFBI investigation.And if he lies he will go to jail.Same reason Trump won't meet with Mueller.If he gets the seat DR Ford should express she will,privately sue and take him to court.

CNN stop putting out fake news. Work on your credibility!

Seriously, why doesn’t Kavanaugh want his name cleared? Even if approved, why hold up an investigation?

kguerrerocnn Is there anything to investigate?

GOP : SCORN EVERY Woman in America at your PERIL...

This is all just so wrong

Thank God for some sense of decency in our country. We won't find it in the GOP. GOPCorruption GOPComplicit GOPTaxScam WhatAreTheyHiding ?

Strange delay tactics.

I'm just going to leave this here SCOTUS

Seriously is it not Friday in America already? My Friday is over back home glued on CNN waiting for the verdict...

Democrats lose again! maga

The ABA gave him a gold star and still requests a full FBI investigation. Now that’s credibility and integrity on behalf of the ABA. ABA is the new Mueller, the ABAesq is the new American Hero standing u for our institutions and democracy as a whole. This cannot be partisan.

They do so because they like the rest of the world heard live Dr. Ford and believe her! Kavanaugh was belligerent and lied multiple times! FullInvestigation nokavanaugh

ABA is brainwashed by anti-Trumpers too

What happened on Thursday was nothing but a sham & a sideshow for anything remotely describing an investigation/hearing.

Whoever advised him to go in there and act like he did, did him a great disservice. Maybe he might not have gotten the SC seat, but now he has to worry about keeping the one he has.

They must suspend Kavanaugh’s license pending investigation outcome. Goodby legal career. He should withdraw while he still can.

Look no farther then which party receives donates most from to see why ABA would like a delay.

DC Bar should launch investigation as to his lack of judicial temperament as well

Nope! Don't do it.

All of this aside, kavanaugh’s behavior yesterday was indication enough for me that he is not suitable for the Supreme Court. He’s unstable.

If anybody cannot see this guy is lying, they surely voted for tRUSmp

CNN is the prostitute of the Democrats. How about a little honesty for once?

Uh..isn't that his licensing body.

LindseyGrahamSC you called the ABA the gold standard, are you going to listen to them?

ABAesq thank you for being the voice of reason in this issue 👍🏻

Kavanaugh says drinking age was 18 back then and seniors were legal. Problem is he wasn’t 18 until February 12, 1983 and he is testifying about accusations in 1982 and admitting drinking at 17. Wonder what he tells his daughters when they say they like beer and they’re only 17?

No way

Time to vote! Let's get this shindig rolling. No more hanky panky.

It’s not about left or right. This dude avoided answering questions and I personally doubt his credibility. I think he was a jock d-bag frat boy throughout high school and college. I’m surprised that Trump didn’t bail on him and choose someone else. It would’ve been much easier

The Senate was not interested in finding the truth . They used 2 people ( Ford:Kavanaugh) as hosts to invoke the ethos of politics .

Someone please reach out to Dr. Ford PhD to explain how GoFundme works and how to access the $400,000 plus (and growing). She was confused and concerned on Nat TV. As an educator from a prestigious a University we can understand how complex this is✔️

Damn Obama he’s a good man they can’t find nothing negative about him we love you Obama 😍😍

ALL msm outlets are inept in their own ability to investigate some of these allegations. How about investigating DKE frat. A long history of sexual assaults and misconduct. Shows a pattern of behavior that Kavanaugh was exposed to and attracted to.

CillizzaCNN The American Bar Association is dominated by Democrats!!

Just another way to stall proceedings until the midterms. Dems, we see right through you.

They should!!! He’s an innocent man.

How ludicrous! Another arm of the Democratic Party, American Bar Association, what a joke.

Strange, given that they know what we know, which is that the FBI will do nothing more than ask questions like what we saw yesterday. In fact, they'll ask fewer questions.

CillizzaCNN This is the most clear signal this nominee is off the rails. A clear vote of no confidence.

Another liberal entity trying its best to delay before midterm ! Vote today and confirm !

CillizzaCNN And the Jesuits withdrew their support.

DCdebbie HALLELUJAH!!! That’s exactly what responsively should be done.

Just have the FBI investigation, don't rush into something this important.Shouldn't be about politics, it's about hiring the right person for the job.A person who stands for American values, integrity,...screwed up with Trump who lacks all these things.Don't make the same mistake

The accuser wants to be investigated, and the accused tip toes around the idea and refuses to answer. I mean, come on people.

Christine M Blasey Ford was okay with Brett Kavanaugh becoming an attorney and a federal judge, but when her vested interest in abortion for the sexually abused in her clinics becomes a concern - Kavanaugh must be stopped.

That’s too sensible for the Republicans! They’ll do anything to get their guy in office! Rigged hearing with no witnesses a female lawyer asking questions for old white men!

Can you have Julie Swetnik and Deborah Ramirez in the studio to tell their stories?

Just two weeks ago?

Unless criminal charges are filed against him, there is no need for FBI.

KAVANAUGH AFRAID OF AN FBI INVESTIGATION AND DOES NOT WANT MARK JUDGE TO TESTIFY

I cant help but wonder, she says their were 2 to 3 other boys in the room when this happened, where are they now. Were they interviewed as to what happened?

Ok, how dumb R U people really? That’s not what the FBI is for. That would be up to local authorities in the area it happened IF complaint was made! It has NOT been made! U people R making a mockery of REAL victims to which this woman is NOT! It’s so unethical! DNC is a disgrace

CNN’s unbiased coverage yesterday summary...About a dozen plus positive descriptions every time Ford spoke. A single tweet on how Kavanaugh was about to begin speaking. Not biased at all 🤥

19 times, a guy that wants to be on the Supreme Court passes on an offer to have the FBI investigate these allegations and clear his name.

Just here for the comments. It’s funny to read both sides and to determine its time for me to get the girls ready for school and get to work cuz liars and opinions exist on both sides.

Both parties dropped the ball on this. There should have been an FBI investigation upon his appointment.

They will vote to confirm anyway. GOP doesn’t care about transparency or about the reputation of the highest court. They only care about their boy who has been bought and paid for.

Since when does the bar association defend uncorroborated allegations!!!! IS OUR COUNTRY FALLING APART?!!!

Varidienne If it were the Federalists Society asking they might delay, but I don’t think the ABA is going to slowdown the confirmation process. Pubs are scared and know this may be their only chance to get a partisan of their liking on the SCt.

What happens if a Supreme Court justice is dis barred?

I follow CNN on YOUTUBE specifically to avoid commercial interruptions. Over the past 6 months they've increased significantly. I will no longer watch CNN until this stops.

Hearing whiteside and a few of the other dems...just showed the exact reason why trump won and will win again. Complete and utter isiots on the left. DrainTheSwamp

realDonaldTrump but the fbi is corrupt. Right? Only when they disagree with the little would be King.

They should at least delay the vote until Kavanaugh stops whining about being the "real victim". What a big baby, glad he was not in my unit in the military, we would have fragged him.

Good thing it’s not their authority to decide.

The next steps will be very interesting.

He's passed through SIX (6) previous background checks, just WHAT do you think they will uncover now? You OBVIOUSLY don't understand background checks by FBI.

🙄 The dems are grasping ....

She good at acting

Because 6 investigations wasn’t enough?

The U.S. needs an Arab Spring.

The Doctor apparently lied yesterday ... No 2nd front door for claustrophobia it was so the apartment in their home could have a front door ..permit pulled in 2008 not 2012.

One would THINK the ABAesq would know that an allegation alone without a date, time, place, corroborating witnesses etc wouldn’t even make it to court 🤦🏼‍♀️. Yet let’s have the fbi investigate this🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️. What a JOKE. confirmkavanaugh

SenateDems senjudiciary Kavanaugh IS TAINTED(alcoholic-sex assault-perjury-gambling debts-mystery pay-off)👎🏾 NOVote NoKavanaugh🤥

👏👏👏👏👏

fake news

Well, one would have to start first. The ABA is just another shill for the trial lawyers and dems.

The FBI must investigate.

Oh please cnn. Just let it go already. You know full well the FBI would only be doing what has already been done by investigators. Stop misleading the public.

he has to be scared of something, because he did not want to say yes to a investigation to even clear is name.. he was asked that many times,

I can understand why the bar is concerned given the amount of booze he allegedly drank!

Amen! Republicans need to take notice that this nominee is not acceptable.

This Lady was Violated! Senate does not care they just want to put a judge in to protect charges that’s coming down to Trump due to Russian charges!MeToo WomenRiseUp

POTUS realDonaldTrump RoyBlunt LindseyGrahamSC

such a joke. Trying to ruin this man’s life over a Democratic political agenda

Haha the liberal meltdown is the best kind of entertainment

Yes the reason why he appeared to be credible in his testimony is because as a judge he knows how to manipulate his evidence...and if senate vote for him, is because those old men has no clue about the effects of sexual assault!

Off course. That's what these evil Democrats wanted all along. Definitely voting Red next election

How about actually investigating and prosecuting Hillary Clinton?!?!

Amen!! This is justice & I hope they do it to fruition bc anyone who's worked for government & had background checks KNOWS that they only check & verify what info is provided. If you omit anything at all, it doesn't exist as far as the FBI check is concerned. He has omitted much!

Check out Jarlath’s Tweet:

macrosie If that's what the FBI did (beyond the 6 background already done) which they dont, there has to first complaint filed with the local authorities; which hasn't been done. Then there's of course statue of limitations.

Confirm him. Ty.

Oh how charming How’s NO 😡 We are voting to confirm TODAY You can tell your vile boss Hillary that she loses another round ✅

Why are you guys questioning why he didn't say yes to an FBI investigation. Because he is a republican Trump puppet. You know Trump is pulling his strings. LG was acting like they are victims... They robbed Obama of his pick... but that was righteous, correct?

If senate republicans force this confirmation through without further investigation, it will have everything to do with politics and nothing to do with what’s best for our country.

Can we all say “beat a dead horse”?

Bereft of JUDICIAL TEMPERAMENT and inherent AFFINITY for TRUTH ... THIS is what TRUMP WH deems a respectable addition to our Supreme Court! Could TRUMP stoop any LOWER? Only if he presented HIMSELF as an appropriate candidate for The Court! How the world must be LAUGHING!!!

Keep beating that drum. The FBI will give you the same information the hearing did. No scene, no corroborating witness, no proof of any kind. Tell the accusers to go to their local authorities.....however they won't find anything either.

All these people involved in this I said u said allegation have they all done a polygraph test?

Deep State panic

YES! StopKavanaugh NoMoreWomanHaters

The FBI isn't investigating anything.

I think this is Democratic ABA President Bob Carlson’s opinion, the author of the letter. Has anyone bothered to poll the members of the ABA? Just more FAKENEWS

A bunch of nothing, union for attorneys. Their paychecks come from attorneys!

Not gonna happen. Confirm and end this miserable farce of a hearing.

The bs just keeps getting deeper ! Not like he was a lawyer when this incident presumably happened !! He was an underage teen ! 🙄

The President doesn’t want an investigation, the committee don’t want an investigation, kavanaugh was asked repeatedly if he would ask for an investigation he refused to answer and referred to the president and the committee, what’s up with that?

The new agreed media-consensus talking point for Friday morning. So left-wing ABA gets to dictate SCJ hearings? Yes. Because they are saying the correct-right things. And we’ll repeat them. We’ll all repeat them. Over. And over. And over again. Just watch us. FailedPress

MarkJudge

The didn't listen when the ABA deemed Trumps pick for federal court an unqualified halfwit which was proven in Sen Kennedys questioning! Think they will now?

Two lives destroyed...is it worth it.. I think not

No thanks!

ABA doesn't get to tell the United States Senate how to run its advice and consent role. This rank partisan nonsense is why so many US attorneys will never join the ABA.

She lies... deep state Democrat corruption

The FBI should investigate the Democrats.

Having a Supreme Court Judge be so partisan is not something anyone should want.

An FBI investigation has been done , his whole adult life.

You all at CNN . Continue to be brain dead. The past 6 weeks there was time for the Democrats to start up a FBI Investigation. You all at CNN are a broken record. Democrats could go to the FBI and get it going in August. Blame all the Democrats CNN. Have a lovely day.

How did CNN get a copy of the Letter if Dr. Fords testimony is to believed that she provided it only to Feinstein? More lies from Sen. Feinstein or Dr Ford that backs up the Political Hit Job.

Ethics are the foundation of the legal profession. The ABA wants to know for certain. If he’s innocent, the FBI will clear his name. If not...

So if the FBI investigates and finds nothing, that means 100% of the Democrat votes yes?

was this taken into consideration? If not Kavanaugh could loose his license to practice?

Oh no not the ABA! Bahahaha

Literally means nothing. The Constitution does not set any qualifications for service as a Justice, the President may nominate any individual to serve on the Court. However, that person must receive the confirmation of the Senate.

Why is CNN not reporting that Kavanaugh flat out refused to say he would welcome an FBI investigation?

Finally some logic.

Just vote!!!

Tough, ABA. Six FBI investigations have already been conducted, along with a JC investigation using the FBI among others. The FBI doesn't investigate 36 year-old sex crime allegations. But they know that.

Uhmmm? Im still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this is a hearing not a trial. We are trying to select a judge for the Supreme Court but yet we are hanging a person on public opinion. Was it so that we said that the Salem Witch Trials were wrong.

They recognize that Brett Kavanaugh is behaving like a textbook rapist. He’s angry and defiant and he will not serve us well on the Supreme Court.

The same ABA that Kavanaugh boasts about supporting him. He did not do well in the hearing demonstrating evasion and poor temperament.

Must vote now. Innocent man. Nothing honest about the way the left handles themselves. Shameful.

Uhmmm? Im still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this is a hearing not a trail. We are trying to select a judge for the Supreme Court but yet we are hanging a person on public opinion. Was it so that we said that the Salem Witch Trials were wrong.

Not until anything is complete. He should just be disqualified.

ah, sorry ABA, you think you have power, but you don't....the oligarchs want the court "fixed" and so it will be -- corporations will rule, women will be forced to knuckle under and democracy will be "controlled"....

Fake news !!

This man has previously said that he would side with POTUS. That said he could be a convicted ax murderer and the sheep will still vote him in. The R's are once again proving how low they will go for tRump. God help us all.

The same AMA with members such as CharlieRose LisaPage etc, not to mention an army of characters many of whom r willing to destroy anything/anyone incl USA, to wit the hearing herein question, for self gratification & promotion? And 4 an inquiry by Strzok's McCabe's FBI?

Too little, too late?

kolestar

The world was watching. no fake news, no Kool aid, no politics,no excuses, just real empathy for the victim. 60% of assaults go unreported. GOP plan plain as day, all in, women out.

Only if it can be done in one week

Interesting. May be better for Trump to retire his nomination at all.

This is fake news again.

Really? Then why did they write a letter in favor of him. FAKE NEWS.

Awwww shucks... FBI already completed their background checks Darn the luck. ConfirmKavanaughNow

Why are they afraid to investigate? Why won't they bring Judge in to testify? What are they hiding? Only the guilty would not want an investigation. What about a lie detector test? Is he afraid of that too?

Nobody is innocent NOBODY!

Who?

There’s no reason to have fbi investigate. Mark judge sent another statement denying he saw anything of the sort.

That doesnt mean shit!

Good!

Shawn806ny It stands to reason, senrobportman, that this would have some bearing into your decision. Do not rush to force this appointment. 45243

No.

Senator Graham read the ABA's recommendation letter yesterday. Wonder if this will carry any weight. I doubt it.

I’ve had the pleasure to work with this fine organization and this is the right thing to do.

Thank you. He isn’t qualified. He is a drunk.

But they won’t

And? The old men don’t care.

Kavanaugh do not want this to happen! He protested it 19 times yesterday!

Kavanaugh’s kryptonite!

Finally

It would be a disgrace to put this man on the bench.

barbarastarrcnn Thank God! There is still sense and reason in this world. If SenateGOP proceed with this every one of them should be voted out! I’m a Republican and plan to vote straight Democrat to check the unhinged criminal power of the executive! DanaBashCNN WSJ

It’s the right thing to do NO DOUBT

Hold up the vote Graham and Grassley the American Bar said a full investigation!!

Hmmm

The liberal ABA...shocking.

The minute he said it was revenge from the Clinton's and the democrats out to destroy him the bells should have started ringing you can not put someone like that on the highest court in the land his bias will destroy the laws of the land

Seriously, GOPenis?

Am i the only one who gets bde from this guy?

Democrats used to be the good credible party. Since Hillary lost they’re now mean, evil, obstructionists bullies. I used to vote straight a Democrat ticket. I can’t vote for them anymore.

Another Leftist lead organization

U guys are done

All of these shows we see on TV, like America's got talent with groups, how many of those little girls now are in the future going to come out with all sorts of stories and who will believe the rapes then? Mothers get ur sons out of the system and tell them of the dangers.

This guy should be a Supreme judge has some problem with the temper, disrespect and not truthful. Seem cannot remember anything just like the President. U REAP WHAT U SOW.

Guess they didn't pay attention when they discussed how FBI investigation works. All involved gave statement under felony & both parties were there to be asked about it. No FBI investigation need be made

Why dont he volunteer a polygraph dr Ford did

And this is only the beginning. If or when more truth is uncovered then other entities will follow thru.

The man has had several FBI background investigations

They have to do this after hearing Ford's testimony. Terms have changed people.

FakeNewsMedia

Oh, man!! I'm a Canadian but this ridiculous, evil leftist, orchestrated garbage just has got to be stopped. Hillary Clinton and Obummber are EVIL and so effing corrupt that POTUS is probably the only one on the planet to stop them! Hope to God.

Very impartial proposal from the US Bar Association.

🤷‍♀️

CNN that's not going to happen.

The left should prepare for another major defeat in 2020 if they think these obstructions to the President will help them they're jockers!!

Kavanaugh can be disbarred for lying under oath. Hard to be a SCOTUS when you can't practice law.

There is no way these allegations can be proven or disproven. What exactly would the purpose be of an investigation? It would only delay a vote until after the midterms—-oh, wait, now I know why the ABA supports this. Either confirm him or not.

A potential disbarment of Kavanaugh would pretty much make him useless to the GOP - it’s curious Kavanaugh claims he’s innocent but will not commit to the FBI investigating the allegations against him. What is he afraid they’ll find? 😏 Kavanaugh KavanaghHearing Scus

He lied repeatedly end of story. I believe Dr. Ford

If the senate and POTUS negate the ABA what will the brilliant reason be? That they aren’t credible? That they don’t have reason? That the entire ABA is corrupt and needs to be overhauled? God knows if an organization suggests something other than what he wants they gotta go.

🙏🏼

NO, NO, NO! He has already been investigated & vetted!

Lieing B...h

Bull shit. The committees staff performs the investigation and interviewed the appropriate witnesses. NOT in the FBI charter. No one supported Dr Ford allegations. All said Kavanaugh not did it

The American Bar association should pull Kavanaugh’s license for perjury. He definitely lied under oath and he attacked a US Senate.

Since the FBI is so trustworthy. There is no mafia. Oswald acted alone.

Got em!

Wrong..that is not the process

Is it possible that Kavanaugh and Ford are related? They look like brother and sister in these pictures.

Didn’t the FBI refuse to investigate?

This Princess MeToo Super Woman is nothing more than a Baby Jane Actress. Oh she was good but nevertheless an actress.

This allegation happened 36 years ago, so assuming for the sake of argument that it did happen, the crime of sexual assault is already beyond the prescribed period of the statute limitation.

If he was innocent he should have simply said. “Bring on the FBI. I can wait”. He’ll get no respect on he bench

F the ABA.

There have been five or six FBI investigations already and NOTHING was revealed about any sexual misconduct. Nothing. This is a farce and an embarrassment for this country. The dems STILL can't handle losing in 2016 and want to bitch and moan about everything Trump wants to do.

Last ditch effort by the deep state.

Nope

ABA is left wing, it is expected.

Well, investigation with politics is not an investigation ..

The democratic arm of the Clinton Establishrment in the American Bar Association are demanding it. Correct your headline or daft opinion

damn, Feinstein and the dems have infiltrated the ABA

Why? She can’t come up with a shred of evidence.

Its a sham. And big money is being paid.

Not sure l'd want a snivelling wreck as a supreme court judge

How could he recall the event when he was drunk at the time? FoxNews

How could he recall the event when he was drunk? FoxNews

Without this the ABA by not calling for an Investigation becomes implicit. And remember, they did not call for this until after weighing testimonies, and the obviousness is they have reservations about a Lawyer's fitness until a full Investigation is completed.

not one question re motive wher her parents' home ws forclosed by this man Kavanaugh's MOTHER? That wud call for degree of vengeance nes pas? Fear for girls who actually DO get raped. Gropers - we all got groped. Probably not those females on CNN roundtable with stiffened faces

But will they ?

They gave an educated opinion of him. This is a request to allow them to gr ain an opinion...again. ConfirmKavanaughNow

He was investigated by the FBI 6 times in his career as he got his security clearance. The FBI found nothing and he held the highest security clearances level in the country.

oh shut up

Kavanaugh has shown he has serious mental problems. And who tells their 10 year old daughter that they’re being investigated for attempted rape? I don’t buy it.

So the ABA is a LEFTIST FEINSTEIN-Loving organization. I recommend suicide for the ABA.

Was not expecting the American Bar Association to make this call out. WOW

BREAKING: Senators Jeff Flake, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins will vote in support of Brett Kavanaugh according to Townhall. SUCK IT Snowflakes

Well the world witness today the heartless Republicans just what they all think about rape victims. Justice must be serve

Im just curious if Grassley wakes up every morning and is like holy shit what happened. That said, the FBI should just investigate this BEFORE THE MIDTERMS give the senate 302s and the country can move on. I really feel bad for Kavanaugh, nobody talks about Keith Ellison.

choptopmoseley I was paid because u can't trust software. If a victim can't remember ever detail, but the accuser claims too more so, . Do I have to say who's telling the truth?

Why are so many ppl saying I believe her & him, "but I think she's confused, mistaken, etc" .... Yet almost no one is saying- "but I think he was too drunk to remember, etc" (I personally think "both telling the truth" is BS).. but more logical that he has the "Memory" problem.

choptopmoseley Horse shit.

Thank you ABA

Holy Shit! The ABA is adopting a liberal position? CNN breaking big stories.

An event of 30 years, which is not murder, suppose to be considered and give time for proper investigation

BeersforBrett 🍻

Ummmm... NO. Start the vote

About f*cking time something or someone stepped up to bring some semblance of truth and integrity to the confirmation process. How about restoring this charade back into a process worthy of our respect.

RealDonaldTrump hope some girls come out of the woodwork for groping in all cases re you sitting there smugly. I can't believe this wasn't an actual rape case. Well, let the girls from yonks come out and tell on, even the lot of u sitting there smugly condemning this guy.

I wonder why his documented perjuries wasn't enough for the ABA? The FBI needs to be looking into the huge influx of cash he got right before being nominated.

Can’t this privileged rich kid throw money on it to make it go away. Trump can teach him

So if Trump nominated a woman Dems would have respected her right? Not dragged her ass through this right? Cause Dems respect all wamen even if nominated by Trump.

He said several times that he is innocent.

Genuine question: Can the ABAesq suspend Kavanaugh until the completion of a thorough investigation into the allegations by all of the women who came forward?

FreeTommyRobinson Watch Tommy's speech

For the benefit non-US audience of this spectacle, is this significant or important ? Does ABA carry any influence ?

The American Bar Assoc is a notoriously liberal organization.

LOL ABA should watch the Joe Biden Video. Soros is the Devil.

When i remember a sexual assukt that happened to me I need a coffee, coke, and a whole lot of chill and crocodile (no tears)

FreeTommyRobinson Watch Tommy's speech

Correct decision

Ford yelled for help then and it fell on young, cruel deaf ears. It is still falling on deaf ears 30 years later. Except today, there were old, cruel and self-serving ears. Let's make sure her voice is heard loud and clear all the way to November.

Confirmation will go on as scheduled. 🙂

So good to know the ABA wants an investigation of an allegation having no evidence or witnesses.

Vote now

Must be done

WOW!

It’s charming how Democrats always want to use the FBI to investigate things. Three old biddies from my church would turn a more reliable unbiased report than the FBI.

The ABA concurs to falsely accuse an innocent man. Today I screamed at the radio, “why are they attacking this good man!” He is like Christ. Feinstein is Pontus Pilate.

The F.B.I. Doesn’t come to conclusions lol. Every report ever given since the beginning there’s never a conclusion. Thought people knew that. Give the dems power and they don’t know what it’s for lol. They use it to take money for themselves and the liberties of others away lol.

CalebHowe So what? Who cares? The American Bar Association is as irrelevant as I am. Their opinion on the matter has no bearing whatsoever.

Good!

Where is you story on this maybe this is part the reason America don't trust cnn fake news

This is great since Kavanaugh would not answer questions in regards to an FBI investigation

Right or wrong, after watching him today I don’t think I would want him on the Supreme Court. Not too cool under pressure.

Yeah! Let's get an FBI investigation to meticulously go through the details and prove that Kavanaugh is not guilty! He's absolutely innocent and is 100% willing to cooperate with authorities and not undermine the vote.

How about....no! ConfirmKavanaughNow

Omg.. no one cares.

DaviesWriter LOL - seriously ? OK then I'll have a Tanqueray Martini - dirty, shaken and hold the vermouth. ConfirmKavanaugh BuildTheWall LockThemUp DrainTheDeepState NFLWalkAway & KAG

4)A Court is where a Human is either charged or exonerated,the cornerstone where Justice is sought. Had Dr. Ford filed a police report&Nominee Kavanaugh given a fair trial&due process? NO. So where does ABA's sense of 'above reproach' came from-hearsay?

3)Secondly,this recommendation for another round of FBI checks is based upon latest hearsay from a woman&not by evidences which JUSTICE is founded upon. How many more times must SCOTUS be subjected to such baseless accusations each time another woman gossips?

2)Firstly,had SCOTUS candidates NOT been already subjected to personal history&background checks by the various relevant authorities?

Boo! Vote him in tomorrow!

senrobportman soooo the statement you released earlier that included a reference to the ABA?

1)It had been an unwise decision of d part of ABA to delay d confirmation of SCOTUS on grounds that such a position should be 'above reproach'. It speaks volumes on its credibility as self regulatory association that has d power to make recommendations.

Ok, who would the FBI interview?

BrettKavanaugh THANK YOU, AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION

They can call for Batman too, good luck .

Here is the truth about the value of another FBI investigation in this matter: It's meant 2 delay the confirmation while simultaneously giving credibility 2 an uncorroborated charge It's the textbook example of a self-licking icecream cone It Is a facade, it is kabuki theater.

What does Spartacus think?

It's not just about what happened 30 years ago. It's about the schucking and jiving he did today. The man was under oath and he performed like a reality star.

LindseyGrahamSC Lindsey Graham: "What would bartenders know..?"

How quick will this come forth?

Problem with BK ..yes or no....yes or no...he is looking like a trump protege

Looks like someone got paid

I think it's to late for that.

This man has no respect for women and lying can’t set him free!!!

IGLV_05 The American Beer Association also wants nothing to do with Kavanaugh

An FBI investigation? Gee, that’s a good idea. Why didn’t someone think of that sooner?

He will quit if they do

Kudos to the ABAesq !!!

Msdmurph I wish they would suspend his license while investigation is complete

Which Politicians receive campaign contributions from the ABAesq ?

Scape goat ...illusion ..evasion...make your rep stand for YOU

i always knew that these Democrats were upto something bad to tarnish Kavanaugh's image let_justice_prevail

You just know Kavanaugh thought about beer for a second when that came up.

I call leftist BS!!

They can go to hell

So. That letter has as much weight as any of those dem senators asking for a delay. None. A delay means more of this circus and who knows what crazy allegation gets thrown out next.

Political? Stand down liberals!

.

tooldtobehere Maybe the Federal DC Bar will open a disciplinary case against him for the perjury he has committed today and in the last hearing?

Why aren’t you reporting this on TV?

Please please please

No

He should be disbarred. How many women need to have a story to tell about this man while he was drunk? Innocent ppl don't lose it. Ppl who want to clear their name get an investigation. What is he hiding? There must be something more recent that could come up.

Just curious, how will they verify what happened in high school?

MyRedBeetle Raise your hand if you were innocent of any crime specially attempted rape in this case would u ask for a FBI investigation to clear your name ....I go first ✋🏽....

Good the FBI needs to look into it all

FBI: start with the entries that Kavanaugh conveniently crossed out on the calendars and compare the age of the ink at a lab (i.e. 1982 vs 20XX). Why do you think he never got rid of 30+ old calendars? To use them at confirmations as "silent witnesses".

But why? The proof is right there on his calendar. July 1...did NOT rape Christine today. Only had 6 beers or 7, or 8. Church tomorrow.

Republicans do not have 51 pro life votes. Three Republicans only agreed to vote yes for Kavanaugh because he assured them Roe V Wade was settled law. This process creates doubt about Kavanaugh's word. Republicans may vote to proceed with a vote but the votes may not be there.

Kudos to the ABA for seeking the truth. The American ppl deserve a FBI investigation into the new allegations and they must delay confirmation vote.

Yes!

They should if he has nothing to hide whats the problem!

The ABA is just a voluntary professional organization that represents lawyers & works to benefit the profession. Not all lawyers belong to it. It does not have the authority of, say, state bars. It (or its committees) write model rules etc, but not binding.

Are you freaking kidding me? This is ridiculous. No way. This has gone on long enough. They are voting tomorrow and that's it.

Wow, this is good but..
