Like I said, you truly sound like a closeted GOP fan.

Hey Chula, whats 1993 minus 18?

I'm not opposed to another investigation. My question to you would be: what are you going to do when they come back with the same answer they've gotten six times before?

The GOP at least say they prefer smaller government. Where's my liberal candidate that would actually advocate for such a thing? Andrew Yang is the only one I like so far.

Sexual assault is notoriously hard to prove unless the victim immediately goes to the police and gets a rape kit, so after nearly four decades it wouldn't be surprising if an unreported near rape didn't come up on the FBI's radar. TBH I'd be kinda surprised if they did uncover anything.

Yeah exactly, why would it have ever come up if no one had talked about it?

Is it typical to discuss drinking habits and high school parties when being "thoroughly vetted?" Genuine question, bc I think not.

"Agent Smith. Your next assignment is to travel to this mans college and go through the footage that didn't exist back then to find out who exactly attended these undocumented parties where copious amounts of alcohol was being consumed. Find those people and ask if they ever saw our man rape somebody. They'll obviously tell you the exact truth as they remember it because that's reality Agent Smith."

Reading comprehension is a bitch.

Again, reading comprehension is a bitch. Junior, you're beginning to come across as a desperate dullard with your recent attempts at sticking up for your buddy Kavanaugh.

Nah, I think you are the one lacking comprehension here. Bigly.

You don't seem to get it: the FBI have more than likely gone through a massive amount of people connected to Kavanaugh every time he has gone up the ranks. That means hundreds of people (cumulatively). Friends, family, former college classmates, people who knew him prior to college, neighbors, anyone who ever worked under him, etc. etc. etc. Are you seriously going to bull**** me and say that not a single person would have thought his alcoholic tendencies and/or any rape party rumors were worth mentioning? People talk.

Translation: I'm unwilling to side against Trump so in this specific instance and only this specific instance I am attributing omniscience to the FBI for the sake of preserving my stance as a Trump supporter.

Ad hominem. I don't like the FBI, but I never disagreed with their findings about Russia (for example).

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if an investigation against Trump unearths legitimate (and not assumed) evidence of collusion, he should be impeached. It doesn't matter to me if he's President or not.

Junior, you've already determined that the FBI will find nothing new.

Junior, you missed the fact that they don't investigate anyone's years prior to the age of 18.

Junior, what's your address? I want to send you a gift.
