If I were Kavanaugh and I had nothing to hide, I'd be pushing for FBI engagement. I'd want the FBI to talk to everyone named as a witness by Ford and Ramirez under penalty of law and get those sworn statements on the record. But, Kavanaugh isn't requesting FBI involvement either, and he wouldn't even answer the FOX interviewer last night when she asked why not, since it could help vindicate him.
Instead, it's Dr. Ford and Debbie Ramirez who requested that the FBI investigate their claims and report the findings to the Senate so the senators could have full background on the alleged incidents before confirming Kavanaugh.
The request was made at the instigation of Democrat lawyers to extend the nomination into and after the mid-term elections, the second accuser did not remember anything about any assault or names that is until she sat with Democrat lawyers for 6 days it was then that she had a miraculous revelation complete with facts and faces. Amazing!! A miracle!
