    If I was him, assuming I was innocent, I would welcome a proper investigation to clear my name, particularly given the job and the sexual cases that he'll no doubt rule over. Why would he want to have a cloud of suspicion around him for decades?

    The FBI have done something in very similar circumstances before (Anita Hills) and it took just a few days. Interestingly, Orrin Hatch who sits on the Judiciary Committee for the nomination, said "The FBI does not do investigations like this. The responsibility falls to us.", but also said that the FBI investigating the Anita Hills case in 1991 was "the very right and appopriate thing to do".

    Why don't they want Mark Judge, supposed to have been in the room at the time, to testify under oath? Then it would be two voices against one. His memoirs seem interesting though, particularly the bits about his friend Bart O'Kavanaugh.

    Most of the committee have publicly said they want any hearing over and done with quickly. They've said they'll listen to the lady but want to bring it to a close (Graham), they should listen on Monday if it happens but then vote (Corker), said it's a hiccup (Heller). Mike Davis, who'd be doing the questioning, said he was unfazed and determined to get Kavanaugh confirmed. You have to wonder how fair the hearing will be, or if it's a box ticking exercise.

    Either Ford or Kavanaugh is lying. Who stands to gain most by lying?
    So, there were alledegdly 5 people at the house, and 4 of them have issued statements saying they weren't there. They only person who hasn't made a statement is the accuser who told her therapist there were 4 men, and then told the Washington Post reporter it it was 3 men and 1 woman. This was known by at least the 16 Sept when the reporter contacted an alledged witness.

    *Apologies, I meant 3 boys and 1 girl. Incidentally, the girl in question has said that she had never met Kavanaugh and didn't even know who he was.

    BTW at whose house was this supposed to have happened? It must have been one of the 5 surely?

    So, all 5 people who were supposedly at the alledged event have now said it wasn't their house! So whose house was it???

    My prediction is the accuser will probably fail to turn up for her testimony hearing on Thursday
