Consider just one possible scenario. FBI talks to Mark Judge and when asked about the alleged attack on Dr. Ford about his knowledge concerning her allegations, time after time he pleads the 5th regarding self incrimination or opens himself to. To the question he was at that house that night with Kavanaugh, he again pleads the 5th. Or any of a 100 different questions pertaining to the facts of that night in 1982, Judge does seeks Constitutional protection against self incrimination OR in some manner places Kavanaugh in that house on that night.
But, OH NO! Judge has said he will now speak to the FBI. Could he sink Kavanaugh's Battleship all by himself? And this says nothing about Deborah Ramirez's allegations or Julie Swetnick's claims when other FBI agents talk to them and others with material evidence!
What a mess this nomination has devolved into because of piss poor vetting by Trump & Company! Some sane person needs tell Brett Kavanaugh to withdraw and save his wife and daughters yet more grief and sorrow!
Dianne Feinstein could have had the FBI investigating this as early as August, but she and her staff waited to the last minute to bring this all up in order to try and thwart the Kavanaugh's nomination.
Mark Judge has already said he has NEVER seen Kavanaugh behave in such a way in his entire life. He would go to jail now if he retracts that.
None of the people, its either four or six people, who were alleged to have been at the house in the summer of 1982 remember this party, event, or alleged crime.
Kavanaugh has a record of what he was doing every day in the Summer of 1982. A personal diary recorded on a calander Mrs. Ford thinks this incident might of occurred in the summer of 1982 but is not positive, cannot name who's house she was at, how she got there, or how she got home. Mrs. Ford has an allegation with no evidence from anyone or anything in the year that this is alleged to have happened.
The Democrats will get a ONE WEEK of fishing for stuff on Kavanaugh. If all they have are unsubstantiated allegations at the end of that week still, then there is a good probability Kavanaugh will confirmed by the Senate in a 50 to 50 vote with the tie broken by Mike Pence. If he loses, it will be a 49 to 51 vote with Susan Collins being the deciding vote against Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh has already been accused of attempted rape and gang rape. Unless the Democrats dig up that he is also an alleged serial killer, who won't be sparing his family anything by withdrawing. His name is already forever tarnished by this unsubstantiated allegation do to the mass media coverage and his wife and daughters will be suffering anyways. As a lesson to his daughters about the importance of standing up for yourself as well as the how we value the "PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE", I don' think he will withdraw. He is going to fight. So far based on the evidence in this case, he is winning, and has a good probability of being confirmed although it is not definite.
