Mr.Vic20 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 2 minutes ago, Link200 said: I really have no idea why the GOP just hasn't dumped the guy and gotten someone more likely to be confirmed. Kavanaugh has always polled poorly just like other failed nominees and it has only gotten worse. There are definitely better options for the GOP at this point. Guess this makes it easier for the democrats to take over. Because Trump sees the Kav as part of his exit strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protect GOP interests, like voter laws and redistricting, kill roe v wade, and protect any GOP president. He is a nominee who they know exactly the way he will rule.

SaysWho? Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 White House authorizes FBI to expand probe of Kavanaugh The move came after two key Republicans, Sens. Jeff Flake and Susan Collins, consulted with the White House to insure the FBI probe would be thorough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Semi-related, I just got a call from the FBI field office in Houston to be interviewed for the background check on my friend’s mom who is in line for a new position in the Trump administration. Kinda intense to get a voicemail from an FBI agent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I, too, have received messages from the FBI regarding friends' background checks. It was a real dude, in my case. They knew my middle name too and asked me to confirm it. They wanted to meet for the interview in my apartment. I declined and had them meet me at a coffee shop in town. I wore a garish hawaiian shirt. I felt like Joe Don Baker in GoldenEye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I've mentioned it before, but I go through this FBI stuff every 5 years or so. What's funny, is that my friend in question is a heavy drinker. I've also been instructed by my friend to just answer everything 100% honestly and spin nothing so of course I do... and man... as soon as you mention heavy drinking... whooo doggie, that's all you're talking about for the next hour.

CitizenVectron Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Text messages released by former classmate reveals Kavanaugh lied under oath about when he was aware of these accusations against him, and that he was trying to work against them behind the scenes.

Flake said last night on 60 Minutes that if it's determined that Kavanugh lied under oath (about anything pretty much) that that alone would be disqualifying in his book. This may be a case, like Watergate, where the coverup is worse than the crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
