I guess the bottom line is that although Kavanaugh was caught in several lies in both sessions he testified in (See Patrick Leahy's closing comments Friday pm) lying is not disqualifying, from at least a White Male, Republican point of view, and that's really all that matters. The most misleading lie Kavanaugh told (repeatedly, as it were) was that the others, even Leland Keyser, Ford's friend, say "It didn't Happen,"* Of course that is not at all what the others said. But who cares! The important thing is to get this over with. Let's just ignore what the others really said, which was that they don't recall the party, or the don't recall the events described by Ford, and Keyser also added that she believes her friend. The only one who is saying , "it didn't happen," is Kavanaugh!
Kavanaugh's lies will be ignored by Republicans. The White house will review the FBI report , "to make sure it is fair, thorough, and limited in scope" before passing it on to the committee. It will be smooth sailing from their to the Supreme Court.
*It's impossible to believe that someone with legal training and who will shortly be sitting on the Supreme court doesn't understand the difference between, "it didn't happen'" and, "I don't recall." Therefore it's equally impossible to think Kavanaugh wasn't fully conscious of the misleading nature of the lie he told repeatedly. Clearly his intention was to mislead. He would know, of course, that the Republican's on the committee, and the Bimbo's at Fox News, are not going to call him on this, and the thirty million plus Trump supporters glued to their smart TVs, in between runs for more popcorn, are not going to bother to track down what was actually said. It would seem one can say anything in politics, no matter how untrue, and get away with it, if you say it loudly with indignation, and have at least one more vote on your side.
