I don't know if it's a boom but it's a very weak circumstantial argument to make.

Has to be the high school thing (whatever it is) that was the referral.

He must have killed someone then because the SOL would have run out on just about anything else.

wondering what happens if/when Kavanaugh gets confirmed and the next one comes around. Will the Dems have shot their proverbial load? Can they honestly go thru this much effort again? I am imagining they are burning political capital pretty fast.

I doubt it. The base laps this up and is the driving force behind it. As long as the opponent is Trump the large pool of swing voters will be torn between nutjob options.

Best opportunity for a third party but it won't happen.

This is just pressure to see if they can get him to withdraw, nothing more. That's what the far lunatic left does.

On the laundering/gambling thing his written answers explain the situation easily. Seem's Whitehouse's gambling "investigation" stems from an email where K. made some reference to his reactions to a dice game. That's it. No other evidence of any gambling at all. As for debts being reduced the timing of purchase of a block of season tickets and reimbursement from friends along with a pay raise, his wife going back to work, a back pay settlement and assistance from family are all legit.

IOW - there is no evidence that he's a gambler at all.

I would agree except that they allude to information being brought to them in the last couple of days. We don't know what that information is or who it is coming from, but it was significant enough and had enough credibility for them to turn it over to the FBI.

I get your complaint that its a stunt. Maybe you are right. I just don't know right now.

The Feinstein material that she was until recently refused to share with the other Dems seems to be the focus and it is widely speculated to be dealing with some high school incident.

I just want to know what it would take for some of these people. for me & Trump, really anyone, is they have to prove he is guilty. and if you can't prove it, he is innocent. for the left it seems to be if he isn't found guilty they just haven't found/made up the right crime yet.

So why do you think he was lying about it? Because Rachel Maddow suggested it was possible?

Louder asked me "so what? if he knew about it", when he's denied knowing about it. That would be lying, no? It was his hypothetical that I was referring to.

I was referring to his hypothetical here. Kavanaugh has denied knowing anything about the judge's sexual misconduct.

got it - I was basing my responses on your post from the Maddow tweet and suggesting maybe they caught him lying about the topic.

Another hypothetical. Just throwing it out there. This high school thing just seems far-fetched to me unless we're talking about something really serious.

Read the rest of the post from Maddow. It's not just porn. Kavanaugh claimed he knew nothing about any of it.

the article linked here suggests the story passed through several people before it reached Feinstein - someone told someone who told the person who sent it to Feinstein (I might have missed one in there). The story also suggested other people had heard of an incident and while the details varied there was a common theme. If the story has been floating around that long and was criminal (FBI worthy) some actions would have been taken or at least records would exist.

my bet is it (the letter to Feinstein) will be leaked, it might be something embarrassing but not FBI worthy, K. opponents will scream about it, but as LG suggests unless he drops out (or it really is bad) the end result will be more character assassination and more division but confirmation.

That is not what the news report said. It is something they got just in the last day or so.


and it is widely speculated to be dealing with some high school incident.

"Widely speculated"? By who?

(I'll remind you of this post by you the next time you complain of anonymous sourcing.)

You might be right. It just seems unlikely to me that there would be all of this skullduggery or that they would turn something over to the FBI on this over a "high school incident."

It's from the dang articles in this thread. The article contains the sourcing whether named or anonymous.

The CNN article in this thread says Feinstein made the referral and it is based on the information she received where the person wished to remain confidential.

The article about the information Feinstein received (the Intercept I believe) says it's some high school incident.

Sheesh

The left wouldn't do that now would they?
