I know this isn't your intent, but the old and slow and having it since july comments sound funny to me together. Like she moves soooooo sloooooow that it took her two months just to be able to read some emails and move forward with this.
There’s one question you’re missing: “Did you tell anyone at the time or shortly after it occurred?” If the answer is no, then I would agree that would end the investigation. But of the incident really did occur then the answer is almost certainly yes, at which point you have to interview whoever she told as well. And so forth.
I am not saying this is some end all be all, but I think when dealing with an abstract issue from long ago getting statements from women that were in the same high school class to say he treated women with respect isn't some ugly tactic. It is basically a nothingburger(pretty sure that is the first time I have used that term). It isnt some Trump card (i kid, i kid) that he is innocent, but it certainly isn't an ugly tactic.
I know this has become "proof" in the #metoo era, but it shouldnt be.
Lol. I meant it as a comment on taking all this long to just decide what to do with it. My mom got like that until we (I) finally had to move her into assisted living --- she just kept everything and never decided anything any more.
I agree with this.
This. Especially when the perjury occurred in his Senate confirmation for his first judicial appointment.
I can only assume this is directed at me. Can you provide a link to where I said anything resembling that quote? All I asked is that tim get his facts straight.
For purposes of this conversation, why does it matter if she alleges he raped her versus attempted to rape her?
If you're referring to the perjury allegations about stolen documents, that's what bothers me most as well.
For the purposes of this conversation, why does it matter if Kavanaugh is accused of rape or whether he's accused of murder?
Yes.
Except in this instance we don't actually know that it's factually wrong, and if it happened in D.C. your distinction about legal differences being what matters means no one can be called a rapist. Because there's no conviction for "rape" in D.C.
Because the word "rape" means different things to different people, she may have actually been raped despite having not had his genitals inside hers, and creating that distinction before the actual allegations are known is, in fact, making a factual determination prior to knowing the facts on something that doesn't matter to the discussion and is absolutely going to be a talking point for the GOP as this moves forward.
Also to put it differently, as to your question earlier, "No, if you're in Washington, D.C., there is no legal distinction between rape and attempted rape. Neither one is a crime."
Breaking news: Brett Kavanaugh knew 65 different women well enough when he was a teenager for them to testify about his character, despite going to an all-boys school.
Not sure what "it" is, but we're not using legal terminology that applies to this case in here. If we were, the word "rape" wouldn't be used.
The allegations lack specificity such that one could parse between the terms "rape" and "sexual assault".
Then why did you say earlier that Feinstein accused Kavanaugh of raping somebody when in fact Feinstein hadn’t made any public statements about the content of the letter? Wouldn’t someone trying to be accurate when they say things try harder than that?
Because it's accurate to say that innuendo is a deliberate and cowardly attempt to make people believe the worst.
Feinstein , a crooked hack pol has been on the take from the Chinese. But she’s one of the good guys
And in fact, D.C. doesn't have a law against "rape." It's all sexual assault, varying by degree.
Whoah, whoah. Roethlisberger never raped anyone. "Especially not" that woman.
I prefer harridan. (I like Feinstein, BTW).
Dolt is just such a good word . How about I don’t call her stupid and just an old bag , a shrew or better yet an old crone
He said something critical of Feinstein that's unsupported by anything he's found that she said, probably out of dislike for Feinstein I guess. He hasn't conceded that, probably because it seems like ceding ground in a political debate, I guess again.
That was quick. Seems like they already knew about it and had defense already lined up.
Well, it's no longer innuendo so the point is moot anyway. I have nothing in particular against Feinstein otherwise.
I expect the Dems to take the House easily, and to either take the Senate or remain very close, setting themselves up to take it in 2020. (The Senate is a long game.)
Well, I guess that could be the difference, though I doubt it's admissible in a court of law.
I went to an all boys HS and I sure as heck didn't know 65 girls.
