In reply to the discussion: Whatever the FBI finds, Kavanaugh will NOT be confirmed for SCOTUS [View all]FBaggins
(26,696 posts)33. You seem to get very creative with claiming what people meant by what they said
Flake was clearly talking about if the FBI investigation showed that he was lying about not assaulting Ford.
You need to pay attention to the difference between saying something under oath that turns out not to be 100% true and "lying under oath".
For instance. Ford testified that she ran into Judge a few weeks after the assault at a local Safeway. We now know that Safeway wasn't in that shopping center until a few years later (it was an Albertsons). This was clearly a statement under oath that was not true... but it isn't "lying under oath". It's just a mistake.

Under normal circumstances, it would be one of the lies that should disqualify him

I agree, that might not be deemed a "significant" lie. Now, other ones . . . . . .

The FBI does not have to investigate wether Kavanaugh has connection to Yale.

If he had a relative who had attended the Law School, that would have helped.

Thank you for the civil exchange as well! Not surprised the Law School is not thrilled to

Perjury is OK if you're a Republican. And as lies go, this one's just a fib.
