Sick of party politics attached to Supreme Court.

If Kavanaugh is appropriate for the SCOTUS he should be the one demanding an FBI investigation. congress media

Delay delay delay that's the main purpose of all this

Only fair what are the republicans afraid of ?

He’s been through six FBI background checks. This is not their jurisdiction. File a report with the local police, though statute of limitations may apply. The hearing is Monday, period.

Fake accusation.

If they could how when not know where it happened or date no time so on after nearly 40 yrs get real , anyway they have already checked him. I read some where it’s pay back his dad was a judge in her monthers house case not good out come so people I USA say ?

This old woman should be 🤐 and hide under the hole for her unshameful act. This incident has nothing to do with his appointment now because the status of limitation questionable

she is right!

Maybe Kieth Ellisons girlfriend could take her place.....Is she able to speak yet?...Heard she was beaten pretty badly

All stall tactics , FBI have already checked him out stop wasting FBI time

Because delay is all she can hope for. Get lie detector test and see exactly what it says. “Late teens” not “15”, does not name “Kavenaugh” was “Big shot in DC” and “late 1980’s” now “1982”? FoxNews investigate?

Greatest move in illegal history!!!!

She just beat those old men at their own game!!!

I would too if it drags things out, probably have to queue behind the yet to be started fbi investigation of the Steele dossiers? Maybe.

Delay tactics

More delay tactics. Have the hearing and move forward

The strategy is so obvious it is painful.

If kavanaugh has nothing to hide he should encourage this initiative

As it should be.

The FBI doesn’t investigate cases that can’t be prosecuted. They can do background checks though.

$$$$$$$$

Time for Ford to put up or shut up! Delay tactic! LindseyGrahamSC realDonaldTrump FoxNews foxandfriends

SpectacularTime Good for her. She must have seen Anita Hill tapes. Just what we all need is another Clarence Thomas.

The FBI has already investigated this man. Dr Ford is being used as a pawn by the Democrats to obstruct and delay. They should be ashamed and owe all women an apology.

This is serious bullshit.

Of course she does, that would be the best way to slow down his confirmation

Cant remember key details, no evidence, known anti Trump activist not looking likely.

ConfirmKavanaughNow

Stall tactic

The republican will retain control in the congress, the indictments and an investigation into power abuse by the DOJ FBI is coming shortly. So all this won’t help the democrats.

FBI is not going to entertain this nonsense. This doctor must live la La Land. Sympathy is between two beautiful words in Webster’s dictionary.

Does someone have to be lying? It’s likely both are telling their truth...memories alter/conflate/abate over 36 years...teenagers have immature brains...alcohol was involved. We will never have the luxury of a video of the encounter.

Behold, the true end game of this crazy story. Delay the vote past November.

The FBI already looked at it and had nothing to go on, so they referred it to the White House. This hearing is her opportunity to address the matter.

Her lawyer on Monday said Ford was "willing to do whatever it takes to get her story forth." Her story changes a day later. Surprise, surprise.

Why is he being so stubborn? Why not just withdraw yourself from consideration? Is this really a fight worth having?

Of course there should be an FBI investigation when the accused could end up on the highest court in the land. Why wouldn't Kavanaugh and the GOP want this investigated? If he did nothing wrong, he'll be exonerated. What's the problem?

Sounds like a stalling tactic. This whole thing just smells of being fake.

Joke. Time to confirm Kavanaugh.

Rightfully so.

Well tell her "WANT IN ONE HAND AND SHIT IN THE OTHER " and lets see what she gets First. MAGA DrainTheSwamp BuildThatWall

The FBI doesn’t do this, her local police are responsible for an investigation and she knows this. It’s just a big game, and the more liberal lunatics play these dirty games, more moderate democrats switch sides. They can’t win anything without sex crimes and illegal votes.

That's not how it works. Besides, how is the FBI going to investigate something based entirely on hearsay?

Here name is Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

What?

I wonder why Stall!

That’s bullshit if she wants to pursue it come in and Testify like they want

Too bad... she ain’t running things! We have due process here and her LESS THAN CREDIBLE accusation at th midnight hour is crap! She is being given a chance Monday to tell her story... if she chooses not to... we press fwd with vote

More Liberal stall tactics! Look who’s not sure of Ford’s truthfulness! Let’s see who feels the Karma come November!

The accuser can't even remember what year it "took place." Maybe she should ask Tawana Brawley or Rolling Stone.

That’s not how the law works. If you want to destroy someone’s life and reputation you present evidence and we have the right to face your accuser in this country. This is telling of this being just another stall tactic and a desperate Hail Mary ambush.

CALLED DELAY DELAY DELAY DELAY

I can see why she wants this assessed in a nonpartisan manner. That’s common sense.

This has nothing to do about the truth, but everything to do about delaying a nomination. What a charade.

The FBI that is the police wing of the Democrat party. That is what Obama left us with and anyone who reads this needs to stand up

He should want a delay if he is above board until the investigation is over. Plus he lied to the Senators repeatedly . He is unethical. Period

I call bullshit

Does the FBI investigate kisses amongst minors? No guns, no offshore money, no fraud, no body? Nothing 🍔

The FBI’s standards for deciding which cases to investigate are pretty loose right now, but not loose enough to justify investigating this pile of horse manure.

Exceeds the statute of limitations. Vote on Kavanaugh on Monday. ConfirmKavanaugh

I'm way ok with that! He should want it too, if he is as innocent as his million/billion dollar backers say he is. "What happens at Georgetown prep stays at Georgetown prep" is pretty telling tho...

Yeah... DebraKatz from kmblegal probably passed at the bottom 1% of her class. They simply dont get it that FBI already has had several investigations on Kavanaugh. They are just not going to waste more time doing anothet investigation

I don't think they'll find much when they sweep through her head.

No she doesn't. She wants a stall tactic. Tell her to testify or crawl back under the rock she came from. I would like to see Kavanaugh sue her for liable.

Law enforcement is where it should be. I guess it's hard for some Senators to empathize.

AnythingToDelayConfirmation

What exactly would FBI investigate? No date, place or corroborating witness that Kavanaugh and Ford were even at the same party.ConfirmJudgeKavanaughNow

Agreed! There needs be corroboration for her to testify, OR, we get Anita Hill all over again. I would hope that Senator OrrinHatch and the rest would not want that! KavanaughConfirmationHearings wearewatchingallofyou

Call her by name !!!!

However you pronounce his name is that American don’t sound like it

How to investigate a 36 year old alligation where date is not known and only witness says never happened?

Another A it's 11th hour Liar!

I hope ford reads this

Dems remember Kennedy Spitzer Weiner Ellison Brown Clinton why did they all get a pass

No they The FBI have finished.

She’s clearly afraid to be under oath- that perjury can get pretty problematic...

Gee America, what is the big deal? After a groping POTUS, lets have a groping justices. SupremeCourt ChristinaBlaseyFord BrettKavanaugh realDonaldTrump

I would too!

It is very pathetic to deny someone a lifetime opportunity because of someone's unproven allegations that has no witnesses

How funny. When did she become President. Apparently she doesn’t know who runs the FBI.

Who the hell is she to demand anything? 🤬🤬🤬

Boo-hoo really

She's a liar.

Haha 😂 please stop

He has already gone through such a background check, so I don't see what else might come up.

Stall tactic

Bye Felicia. Hello Justice Kavanaugh.

I want a Porsche.

What a joke

Kavanaugh vote: Senate Republican leaders agree to new FBI background investigation of KavanaughThe announcement came after two key Republicans suggested they would not vote to confirm Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court without additional information on sexual misconduct allegations against him. Analysis: Does the Senate have the votes to confirm Kavanaugh? Because the 7th one will do the trick. Ridiculous. What a wicked, ingenious way from the Republicans to get rid of Kavanaugh while keeping their *talons off the carrion. Kavanaugh will withdraw!

Donald Trump says no FBI investigation of Brett Kavanaugh is necessaryPresident Donald Trump said Tuesday he would continue to back Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and does not think an FBI investigation of allegations against him is necessary. Of course you are. Why investigate anything? Why have an FBI? Why have a justice department? yup, in public testimony and under oath. How much does anyone want to bet that dem stall and then withdrawal the claim while still pushing the narrative. Rape claims are serious, even if faked, damage is done and dems know it. Disgusting Even if true; there was no crime. He should be judged by his adulthood.

Trump questions why Kavanaugh accuser didn't call the FBI after alleged assaultPresident Donald Trump deviated from his previously measured comments about the woman who has accused his Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault when he questioned Thursday why the woman didn't call the police 36 years ago, when she says the incident happened. The difference between Christine Ford and Karen Monohan is Christine Ford is Politically Beneficial Karen Monohan IS NOT WHY? this affects every women in America. When did sexual assault go from being about law & equality to be about politics & color? ASK MEDIA! Because he’s a sexual predator I have a question for realDonaldTrump. How is it, you have the audacity, to make any comment on these allegations, when you have 19 women accusing you of sexual assault, which you have NOT answered to. Your level of hypocrisy is unending.
