How is it possible that

Flake sees "no corroboration" in the FBI report?

They talked to Judge, didn't they? What the hell did Judge tell them? "Golly gee, I don't remember anything like that"?

Did they not warn him it is a felony to lie to the FBI?

3. But Who Will Follow Up To Determine If Judge Lied To The FBI....

Once Kavanaugh is confirmed all this furor over his nomination will be mostly forgotten. We'll all move onto the next calamity that Trump and the Repugs unleash on us. Judge will just become a footnote in history.

Although there is a possibility that when the Dems take back the House and possibility of the Senate in November - that hearings may be held on this incident and it could be determined that Judge was lying - now that I think of it. Hmmmm.....

5. Sure. Why not? The easiest way to lie is to say you don't recall.

Did anyone think Judge would spill the beans on his friend?

one of the others speaks up. It's just too long ago to determine otherwise from evidence.

Now, all of us would say, ""Darn we know Kavanaugh was a cad, drunk, and likely worse, so it's likely it happened, too many accusations." But GOPers aren't going to accept that in this case because they want their boy on the SC and to back their white wing comrade.

If just one of those witnesses had said, "Yes, I was at a party like Ms. Ford and I remember how it was odd she left without saying anything." But Judge isn't going to incriminate himself, and the others probably wouldn't want to get involved.

It's disgusting.
