The Next Accuser

President Trump has agreed to the request by the Judiciary Committee chair (senator Grassley) and asked the FBI to do a further investigation that must be completed within one week and be limited to "current credible allegations."  What does that mean?

1.  Most important, by ordering the investigation, the President has taken away from the Democrats their biggest talking point.  They have pushed for an FBI investigation for the last two weeks.  The Dems don't really want the investigation, since it will come up with nothing that we don't already know.  What they want is to portray the GOP as unfair to Dr. Ford.  Well now the investigation has been ordered even though there's nothing to investigate.

2.  The limitation to current credible allegations, means that when the Democrats trot out their next phony victim, the FBI will not be investigating that claim.  It seems reasonable that more claims are coming.  After all, with Ford, the Dems told the Senate that her testimony had to be delayed from Monday because she was scared to fly to DC.  That was a total lie.  We learned yesterday that Ford was in Delaware for the last three weeks.  That hardly requires a flight to get to Washington.  It's about an hour's drive.  Further, we also learned yesterday that Ford flies across the world many times each year.  So why would the Dems have lied about Ford's fear of flying when they knew that the truth would get out?  The answer is that the Dems were hoping that the second and third accusers would surface and that it would force Kavanaugh to withdraw his nomination.  That plan didn't work, and the Democrats are exposed as liars.  Nevertheless, you can be sure that the Democrats are actively looking for the next accuser as we speak.

3.  Hopefully, senator McConnell will start the debate on the nomination ahead of time.  That would allow for a cloture vote to set the final vote on Kavanaugh for Saturday, October 6th.  The time line would go as follows:  end of FBI investigation -- October 5; Vote on nomination -- October 6; Kavanaugh joins SCOTUS -- October 8.
