        . . . which is why a thorough FBI investigation should be conducted.

        1) The FBI have done all the checks needed. 2) A sexual assault like this is NOTHING to do with the FBI. It's not their jurisdiction. 3) Ford refuses to report it to the police. 4) There is no evidence. 5) People she claimed would know about it have all denied it.

        Would YOU admit to being assaulted I'm a foreigner 'Canadian' and the FBI investigated both Clintons Bill for having sex in the oval office and Hillary and Her Email's lastly, I was sexually assaulted as a teen and have never told anyone not even my wife of 40-years

        It is the FBI's job to conduct background checks. They reopened the background check when Anita Hill came forward. The fact that they refuse too is odd. Plus Mike Judge didn't say it didn't happen; he said he has no memory. Why won't he testify under oath? The victims are.

        They did the background check. Multiple times over his career I'm sure. He passed them all. Why doesn't Ford report it to the police? Then they can actually investigate it, since that's their job (not the FBIs).

        Maybe Jack doesn't realize the I stands for Investigations. And maybe he hasn't noticed either that the reason women don't come forward is because they are afraid of being treated exactly how Dr Ford is being treated right now.

        I shouldn't have said women. Look how long the sex abuse in the catholic church took to come out. Survivors don't want to relive their trauma and especially if they have to fight to get people to believe them.

        Accounts given to husband and therapist years earlier - with notes - and a lie detector tests are corroborating facts.

        No they’re not. They’re not permissible in the court of law and never have been.

        This isn’t a trial in a court of law. There’s a reason they’re still in use albeit not 100% conclusive. That’s why prominent attorneys recommend them.

        Shame on him? Why? Cos he spoke the truth? Because it’s apparent she is lying? Because he stood up for what’s right? Yeah, what a bad guy.

        GOP ambushed Merrick Garland and Obama so he has no room to talk about politics involved now. Dr. Ford didn’t lie. Other reports support his behavior in those days. Brett has tons of reasons to lie.

        If he's lying why are they only trying to stop his confirmation? Why aren't they trying to get him removed form the circuit? You know, why not go after the man for the real criminality that's supposed to have happened.. That's right! It's a political hit job..
