The truth is Kavanaugh cannot be seared without an investigation. Whether you like it or not his accuser is credible and we cannot let another Thomas on the bench.
There is no free lunch for either side with this week-investigation thing. There is a risk/reward calculation for both sides.
The risks to kavanaugh are well known and dont need to be discussed.
But the risks to the dems are considerable too. This is about the midterms and 2020 elections in case you have not gathered. Ford is just a pawn in their game. It is about as clears as can be that the rallying cry that the dems want to use for the midterms is that the republicans would not even give ford a hearing. That did not work out for them. Then they wanted to be able to have good footage of old white men beating the shit out of her. That did not work out. And now they are off on to wanting to be able to argue that they would not even give her an fbi investigation. You dont for a minute think they want it do you? You think they are going to be happy or unhappy if the investigation happens? Dont bullshit yourself. They are looking for campaign material. Kavanaugh is at risk but the dems are at risk that the pubs and trump get to say, once again, they conceded to her demands and also looked at all the avenetti loon stuff and the fbi found nothing.
Let me give you a little preview of coming events. If there is an investigation, then suddenly the dems will be back to arguing that the fbi just does investigations and provides evidence but that they do not reach conclusions. And round and round we go.
