Kavanaugh Accuser’s Lawyer Calls For Investigation Before Senate Hearing
The Daily Caller ^ | 09/18/2018 8:46 PM | Mike Brest

Posted on 09/18/2018 6:33:18 PM PDT by Texas Fossil

The woman who accused Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault back when they were in high school wants a law enforcement investigation of the incident before testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to her lawyer who appeared on CNN Tuesday night.

Kavanaugh is expected to testify Monday.

“Any talk of a hearing on Monday frankly is premature because she just came forward with these allegations 48 hours ago. And since that time, she has been dealing with hate mail, harassment, death threats. So she’s been spending her time trying to figure out how to put her life back together, how to protect herself and her family. And there hasn’t been an investigation and these are serious allegations,” Lisa Banks, Christine Blasey Ford’s lawyer, said.

“She’s not prepared to talk with them at a hearing on Monday,” she continued. “No investigation — any legitimate investigation is not going to happen between now and Monday."

What exactly is there to investigate?

She said some alleged illegal activity happened.

He said it never happened.

The other guy who was supposedly there said it never happened.

We are long past the statute of limitations on this, so there will be no legal case no matter what.

So say the FBI talks to all three people, and they repeat the stories told. Then what? Where do you go from there?

Then wouldn’t you be back to square one anyway, this he said/she said situation?

Yeah, and once the FBI is done, they’ll want an investigation by the local police, and then by Maryland state troopers, and then by Interpol.....

DIFI should be indicted for conspiring to spy for China.

How can you investigate an imaginary event that was witnessed by no one and happened 36 years ago?

DiFi sat on this for months.
There is nothing for the FBI to investigate.
There is no evidence of any kind.

It would be an interesting exercise to determine if any Federal crimes have been committed in this episode - by Feinstein or her staff.

Feinstein may be protected by the speech and debate clause, but her staff are not.

Agree. She knows there are serious consequences for perjury before Congressional Committee.

There are worse consequences for lying to the FBI. They should investigate, which would have to start with her.

FBI already said they will not investigate, charges are NOT a Federal Crime.

My guess, they will have more or at least say they have more accusations. Man the dems have sunken low. They look really bad to friends of mine that are independents.

Trump will not order FBI to investigate these "credible allegations" which obviously means that Kavanaugh is indeed a sexual predator and must not be seated on the SCOTUS.

It also means that Trump must be impeached for wanting such a deviant on the court as well as attempting to cover-up BK's predatory behavior.

“””””””“Any talk of a hearing on Monday frankly is premature because she just came forward with these allegations 48 hours ago.””””””””””””””””

Actually she came forward in July when she gave the fake but accurate letter to DiFi.

Public accusations are one thing, Lying before a congressional commitee under oath is a very serious crime.

There is an allegation of rape.

But there’s no objective evidence. Its not the evidence, but the seriousness of the charge that’s the standard.

No pubic hair on a Coke can, no semen-stained dress and no corroborating witnesses.

And she waited forty years to disclose it? Yeah, sure.

She calls for an investigation while her client won’t testify.
