1. Maybe, we'll have to fight about what's a significant lie and a little "white" lie.

[mnmoderatedem]

7. I don't think there's any such thing as a little white lie when under oath

and you lie to the committee.

Clinton and a blow job from an intern. it matter to them then.

2. The Clinton's Revenge!

Oh yeah!

[Turbineguy]

3. Republican senators

would have made fools of themselves for nothing then.

4. What is Flake's definition of "shown to"?

[madville]

5. He's just hedging and he will vote Yes

He is banking that no new evidence is uncovered during these four witness interviews they are doing. As long as nothing concrete comes up he'll say there was no corroborating evidence.

6. Unfortunately I don't see how we'll ever get something "concrete."

And I’m surprised at how many people are expecting something concrete out of some witness interviews regarding incidents from decades ago. Even if someone said they saw it happen (which would be shocking if true, considering they then apparently didn’t care enough to defend the assaulted at the time), that’s not proof. From a legal standpoint it’s just a slightly less balanced “he said, she said.”

8. Better f'ing mean it! ...nt

9. He has ALREADY been shown to have lied--about several things. nt

10. In THAT case, then it's over

Holding a Republican to his word is like trying hold an eel after greasing your hands with oil. of course, but this one needs to be preserved and thrown in Flake's face on an hourly basis, because from here on in, Flake will be showered with Kavanawful's lies before the committee. He does NOT get to pass them off as "minor inconsistencies."

11. Well, he's done then

https://www.currentaffairs.org/2018/09/how-we-know-kavanaugh-is-lying

this lays it all out

[JHB]

13. And that one is just about his handling of Ford's testimony...

There is also Kavanaugh's lying under oath about seeing Demo0cratic emails stolen from the congressional system when he was a Bush staffer.

That dropped off he radar because the Republicans are just fine with it, but it bears on his veracity right now.

14. thanks for that link, btw

I've already shared it on my FB feed

Is there anything that K. _didn't_ lie about?

[Autumn]

12. Flakes looking for lies? Someone should have him watch a video of the hearing.

This guy is so full of shit I can smell him a thousand miles away.
