Be savvy! They all cooked this idea up, for sure
1. Why would trump not be apoleptic? He was calm when told (like he didn't care) after rushing like crazy
2. Why would Graham not be apoleptic? He almost popped a vein yesterday.
3. Why would mark judge already say yes to talking and cooperating with FBI?

4. Why would kavenaugh send his high school buddy out on CNN this am to talk about Timmy's house? To get it out there before Dr Ford gets a sketch done!!! (Hope she really did one).
5. One week way too short to find people and interview. You should have said no. Imho ON EDIT...should have asked for at least 2-4 weeks

(108,925 posts)either one or two corroborating witnesses willing to testify.
In another week I doubt the GOP will look much better.

(31,261 posts)From what I understand, they have home field advantage as long as they stay in the playoffs. That is huge at playoff time. The Red Sox appear to have the pitching to shutdown the Yankees when they deploy it, which they will in the playoffs, rested arms.

(15,805 posts)Serial sexual abusers do not stop. They don't go cold turkey and turn into choir boys. There's a very long list of victims out there, women who are just like the ones who've stepped out of the darkness to spotlight Kavanaugh's criminal behavior.

(42,770 posts)(didn't believe charges) and just change. He really DID act like that and he probably hasn't changed and the wife knows it.
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)That respecting other human beings is not in the menu for him. Indeed, his whole career points to a lack of respect for human life. This is just the technicality we are busting him on.

(42,770 posts)Lol. I could see you explaining away one from a jot on a calendar...but what were there 5-6?. Mathematical improbability.. Heard him say FFFFourthofjuly was a joke based on his stutterer friend? Puleeze.
Charlotte Little
(658 posts)And I wish you were right so badly, that if does withdraw, I will give $25 to your favorite charity and post a receipt.
But I don't believe he will. This was all a set up for sure. And I agree with the OP. Trump & Graham were way too calm when agreeing to the "investigation." If they couldn't control it and try more tricks, they'd have been bursting blood vessels on camera.
The fix is in.

Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)Not enough time! This gives them cover now..takes away a major campaign issue against them...."they gave in and had addl FBI investigation!". Gotta weigh those two. Kavenaugh probably agreed...no worries...got everyone they can find in one week covered! If Dems could have found immediate corroboration they would have had it yesterday!

(658 posts)This is the aspect about Avenatti that I can't stand. He's a showman foremost and it comes out at times it would be better that he was the real deal. Putting Swetnick on Showtime, which many people don't have, is beyond useless. He should have approached 60 minutes and The View. Both shows have enormous audiences. But instead, it will be treated like a mockumentary.
To be quite honest, I'm over Avenatti.

(1,474 posts)It may be nothing, but the gop was planning on confirming him Saturday or early next week anyway. How could this be any worse? As for no apoplectic shitstorms from Graham or trump, when a coward bully makes his bluff and nobody cares, he usually shuts up.

Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)And the Republicans having zero reason not to. But, one week is not enough time. It's not like they are looking for a bomber and all hands on deck and they can bust every door down. They have to find and arrange interviews and then reinterview. Haven't heard but scope limited. Bet they just make it Dr Ford.
Phillip Mudd and Toobin saying same thing on CNN.

helpisontheway
(5,004 posts)My son is in law enforcement so I know most of his coworkers are Republicans. Even if the Republicans in the FBI do not like Trump, they probably like all of the things he does with tax cuts, judges, etc. Oh and plus Trump is this big, strong man (ROLLING EYES BIG TIME!!!). Yeah, they might be pissed at Trump for saying that they are corrupt but they will likely look past anything negative they find about Kavanaugh.

(7,947 posts)More trouble than it's worth.
So all the easy-talk could be because Trump and Graham are already planning the withdrawal.
Kavanaugh is going to be fighting still, but I think he's a dead man walking.
