| Hillary Clinton: FBI investigation into Kavanaugh could be done quickly |
| 2018-09-19 |
| [The Hill] Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that an FBI investigation into the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh wouldn't take long. "I don't think it wouldn't be a lengthy investigation," Clinton told MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show." "I think it could be done in an expeditious manner if they're still trying to have a vote on this nominee, they could postpone for two weeks," she said. The lawyer for the woman accusing Kavanaugh of attempted sexual assault, Christine Blasey Ford, said Tuesday that Ford would not testify before the Senate Judiciary committee until the FBI has investigated her claims. Clinton backed Ford's decision, saying Tuesday, "I think that's a reasonable request." "The White House could answer it very quickly, by asking the FBI to reopen its background check and to take into account the accusation that has been made and to gather the evidence about what can be known," she explained. The FBI has previously declined to investigate Ford's allegations against Kavanaugh, in which she says he attempted to sexually assault her at a party in the early 1980s. |

| #13 Early one Sunday morning back around the time "this" "happened," I was hanging around the lobby of a building in which the FBI was a tenant when a guy showed up at the door demanding to talk to them. Strange, unlikeable character, instantly fileable under "Crank," but he looked to have been well and truly bashed (as he claimed) and recently treated for it. I called upstairs, was pleasantly surprised that they agreed to see him, and sent him up, to unknown effect. Point being, this oddball who looked as if he'd just crawled over from Big Hospital was able to get a sitdown with the FBI practically before he'd sobered up. And... well, for once I won't belabor a point. |

| #10 The FBI investigation can be done quickly. Something like this: Professor, when did this alleged crime occur? Umm, 36 or 37 years ago. Not sure exactly. Where did it happen? Not zure. What federal law was broken? Well, I guess it was actually a local law. OK, we're done here. |

| #9 Hildabeest has gotten a new found sense of self-righteousness and morality. Wonder where she found that? Oh yes, I recall she lies about everything. Forget-about-it. Are we ever going to see her in an orange muumuu? |

| #8 Yes, they can be done very quickly when the end result is already decided. See non-secured Clinton email server. |

| #7 Yes. People miss understanding that the entire point of the statute of limitations is lots of evidence and testimony can be lost over a long time frame. The fact there is no stature of limitation for murder speaks to the heinousness of the crime, not the practicalities of solving it. |
