I added an edit in my last post.  What can he do to prove these allegations wrong?  What could an investigation turn up that would satisfy you of his innocence?  

Again, there are plenty of reasons for it taking longer than you or the GOP wanted for these women (plural) to come forward.  If that's all it takes to convince you there is no there there then so be it.

If, as I think those in Kavanaugh's camp suspect (if not also elsewhere), there's nothing more than her word versus his, an FBI investigation is not going to do ANYTHING. It's not going exonerate Kavanaugh and get Ford in legal trouble nor is it going to verify Ford's accusation and get Kavanaugh in trouble. So if an investigation is going to turn up nothing, then why would you push for one other than for appearance sake and is made clear by statements, people from both side already have their minds made up.

I'm definitely using that if I am ever arrested:  I'll just tell the police that I assume there is no tangible evidence so there is no reason to do an investigation to look for any.  Many people think they won't find it so why bother.
