    So you won't mind if I tell the Oregonian, your Facebook friends, your employer... that you confessed to child porn back in the day? You won't mind if the FBI shreds your life before your eyes?

    Nothing to worry if you are innocent. :cheers:

    It's a Federal job. The FBI does background checks for federal jobs.

    The statute of limitations does not apply to background checks. This isn't a criminal investigation.

    That makes very little sense, as you surely know. The FBI does not post its background check results on Facebook.

    and that is a lie. FBI investigated the situation between Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas. FBI vets a lot of politicians that need to be cleared. Why do you unreal Americans always want to avoid investigations. Don't you think that a lifetime appointment is worth investigating?

    Yes, so why not allow the investigation? What's the hurry?

    It's ILLEGAL under The Constitution.

    The DNC is quite able to hire it's own investigators (I hear James Comey and Andrew McCabe are looking for work) to look into vague and changing allegations produced by political activists when no evidence of any crime is present.

    The Federal Justice System is prohibited from doing so, with good reason.

    They post them to their .gov website, which has a share with Facebook function.

    Keep fawning ignorance.

    ...lol...that doesn't sound logical to me.

    ...you're known for copying and pasting, so I'm naturally curious as to why you didn't do that here...do you have links to support your claims?.

    Inconsistencies emerge in Kavanaugh accusations, with hearing in doubt
    [​IMG]
    By Alex Pappas | Fox News
    Rep. David Cicilline urges delay on Kavanaugh vote
    The FBI should conduct 'thorough investigation' of the sexual assault claim against Brett Kavanaugh before the Senate votes on whether to confirm him to the Supreme Court, says Rep. David Cicilline.

    Christine Blasey Ford's allegation that Brett Kavanaugh tried to force himself on her when they were teens has thrown his Supreme Court nomination into doubt. But as senators spar over the terms for a new hearing which may or may not happen, inconsistencies in the story have emerged that could embolden Kavanaugh's defenders.

    Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has given Ford until Friday morning to say whether she will testify next week. Ford first aired her accusations in a Washington Post story over the weekend but has not spoken publicly about them since. Absent another statement or appearance, questions about the account have swirled on Capitol Hill.

    "There are an awful lot of questions, inconsistencies, gaps, and that's why to be fair to both, we need to know what happened," Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a key Republican vote, told reporters this week.

    Among those are therapist notes from 2012 that Ford gave to the Washington Post to corroborate her claim. Those notes, though, reportedly say four boys – not two, as Ford claims -- were in the room during the alleged incident. Ford told the newspaper this was an error by the therapist.

    Ford, who has acknowledged she can’t remember some details from the incident decades ago, has said she was reluctant to come forward and only did so because her hand was forced by the media.

    “As you know, earlier this summer, Dr. Ford sought to tell her story, in confidence, so that lawmakers would have a fuller understanding of Brett Kavanaugh’s character and history,” Ford’s attorneys wrote in a letter to the Judiciary Committee this week. “Only after the details of her experience were leaked did Dr. Ford make the reluctant decision to come forward publicly.”

    But that claim of reluctance has raised questions about why Ford hired a well-known sexual harassment attorney and took a polygraph test ahead of time if she wasn’t prepared to make the public allegation.


    “If Ms. Ford really did not want to come forward, never intended to come forward, never planned to come forward, why did she pay for a polygraph in August and why did she hire a lawyer in August if she never intended to do what she is doing?” South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Fox News this week.

    Meanwhile, those named by Ford as being present at the party in question in the 1980s have denied the allegations. That includes Kavanaugh, who has emphatically denied the claim, and Mark Judge, a friend of Kavanaugh’s named by Ford who disputes the claims and says he wasn’t at the party in the question.

    Another former classmate of Kavanaugh denied having any knowledge of the party or allegations.

    "I understand that I have been identified by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as the person she remembers as 'PJ' who supposedly was present at the party she described in her statements to the Washington Post," Patrick Smyth said in a letter to the Judiciary Committee. "I am issuing this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh."

    Fueling more curiosity was a supposed former classmate of Ford who posted a statement on Facebook this week saying the “incident did happen” and it was “spoken about for days” afterwards “in school.”

    But the post came under scrutiny because of Ford’s previous statements that the alleged incident occurred during the summer – and not during the school year – and that she didn’t discuss it with anyone until counseling with a therapist in 2012.

    The classmate who posted the statement, Cristina King Miranda, eventually deleted the post on Wednesday, and clarified that, “I do not have firsthand knowledge of the incident that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford mentions, and I stand by my support for Christine.”

    She later told NPR: "That it happened or not, I have no idea. I can't say that it did or didn't."

    Ford’s legal team, meanwhile, has given differing statements about whether Ford is willing to testify.

    During television appearances on Monday, Ford’s attorney Debra Katz indicated her client was willing to testify before the committee under oath.

    But later in the week, after the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee invited Ford to testify on Monday in public or private, Ford’s attorneys said she wants the FBI to investigate the claims first – something Republicans reject and the bureau is not at this point expected to do.

    That doesn't sound very likely, but if you wish to provide a link, I'd be happy to verify.

    Since they've already done a background check on Kavanaugh for this nomination, feel free to just provide a link to his.

    It's illegal?????? ROTFLMAO! Your credibility is shredded the more you post. What makes it illegal? Did they not investigate in the Anita Hill case? Why are the republicans always in a hurry to pass things without going through the full process? They tried it on the affordable care act repeal and failed. What are you afraid of? The truth?

    FAKE NEWS

    She has agreed to testify next week. My question is, why are you leaving her messages threatening her?

    Annnnnnnnnd... no:

    "I learned this week that there is no statute of limitations for felony sexual assault in Montgomery County, MD."

    And in MD:



    Arguably, Kavanaugh could be brought up on charges, if Ford's story can be shown to be factual. I'm quite sure that won't happen, because rich white guy, but..
