Donald Trump: ‘Scary time for young men’ in US

What will the FBI investigation do?

Mr Trump said today he believed Mr Kavanaugh will be confirmed by the Senate this week, but it depends on what comes back in the FBI investigation.

■Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday the Senate will vote this week on whether to elevate Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. But exactly what day that would be is still unclear. In fact, he testified he’d heard “that she was calling around to classmates trying to see if they remembered” the events she described.

Trump said a vote for Espy is a vote for the Democrat agenda for ‘open borders and radical socialism’. “We’ll have the opportunity to vote “yes” on this fine nominee”.

The sexual misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh all involve heavy drinking at high school and college parties.

Clearly, Sen. Grassley has no time for the politicized requests by some on the left as he continues to trudge through this nomination process with Judge Kavanaugh. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and other lawmakers, the Senate last Friday agreed the FBI could investigate for up to a week, meaning its deadline is this Friday.

Details were scant about precisely who the Federal Bureau of Investigation was interviewing and the scope of the probe, but agents are known to have interviewed at least four people. However, the source could not confirm the reason Kavanaugh would not be teaching at the school in 2019 beyond the statement sent out by school officials that he could “no longer commit to teaching his course”. Meanwhile, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called for the findings to be released publicly. Jeff Flake. The Arizona Republican has said he will vote against the nomination if the FBI investigation shows that Judge Kavanaugh lied under oath.

The chairman of the committee, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), said Tuesday that he expected the Federal Bureau of Investigation report to be released before Friday, but that he wasn’t sure exactly when. It was not immediately clear if Kavanaugh dropped out due to anticipation that he would be serving on the Supreme Court.

McConnell is expected to lead the efforts to whip support for Kavanaugh, along with senators who are close to the key swing votes. The votes of Republicans Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) are not yet certain.

Those senators, in consultations with the White House, have urged that the Federal Bureau of Investigation be allowed to follow leads, but sources say they did not stipulate that Ford or Kavanaugh be interviewed.

“We regret that we feel compelled to write to you to provide our views that at the Senate hearings on Thursday, September 27, 2018, the Honorable Brett Kavanaugh displayed a lack of judicial temperament that would be disqualifying for any court, and certainly for elevation to the highest court of this land”, the letter says.

Due to a special election to fill the seat that Hyde-Smith was appointed to earlier this year, both Senate seats in MS are up for re-election in the November 6 midterm election. “And none of it, despite the hopes of his enemies, substitutes for the weakness of Christine Blasey Ford’s original charge”, said Tuesday’s editorial, “The Perjury Farce”.

Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of NY said that when Kavanaugh testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, he abandoned any pretense of being an impartial jurist and revealed that he bears “bitter partisan resentments”.
