Ford lawyers blast 'numerous false claims' about FBI investigation ahead of Kavanaugh confirmation vote
By John Bowden - 10/05/18 08:43 PM EDT

Lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford, the first woman to publicly accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, blasted senators on Friday for "false" claims about the days-long FBI investigation into the allegations ahead of Friday's cloture vote.

In a statement late Friday, attorneys Debra Katz, Lisa Banks and Michael Bromwich said the FBI's supplemental background investigation, which included interviews with nine individuals in connection with the allegations, was not "meaningful," as Kavanaugh and Ford were not interviewed or allowed to provide further evidence outside of what was presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee during last week's hearing.

"An FBI investigation that did not include interviews of Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh is not a meaningful investigation in any sense of the word," the attorneys wrote.

"Had the FBI interviewed Dr. Ford, she would have answered questions about Judge Kavanaugh’s assault, including questions that Ms. Mitchell and the Judiciary Committee members failed to ask during the hearing," they added. "She would have provided corroborating evidence, including her medical records and access to the phone from which she sent messages to a reporter about the assault prior to his nomination to the Supreme Court."

Ford rambled on and on in her opening statement where she could have addressed these issues...she was also asked by Grassley at the end of her hearing if she wanted to add anything to her testimony..she said no and left.

Just another delay tactic that obviously is past due.  This will just give Dems more cause to whine about not getting enough time. She had her moment. The more that has come out about her makes her statements more implausible.
I hate to don the tin foil hat,     but it really does sound like a conspiracy by the Dems.

So basically this was the 'vote for it so you can see what's in it' angle.

Not how it works - you give the evidence, law enforcement investigates. Not the other way around.

Investigation time is over. Sorry you were late to the party.

Who do these pompous asshats representing Ford think they are?

Why are they continue to be called 'Ford's lawyers'?

They are nothing but an arm of the Democrat party.

Case in point:  They are fund raising for Democrats.

Ford accomplished what she wanted.  Now she can exploit this like Anita Hill for the rest of her life.

Just address her by her new title: "Saint Christine of Santa Cruz".
