An FBI investigation: It’s all they wanted, don’t you know.
Repeatedly. Ad nauseum. From Sens Cory Booker to Amy Klobuchar, it was
the relentless talking point Democratic Senate Judiciary Committee
members harped on over and over again in their questioning of Judge
Kavanaugh on Thursday.
And it worked, to some extent, to score pretty much the only mildly
significant PR points they were able to score against an otherwise
brilliant performance by Judge Kavanaugh on Thursday.
Their
reasoning went something like (read in your best snake voice ...):
‘Why, Judge Kavanaugh, if you are innocent, why wouldn’t you want, nay
DEMAND, the FBI to conduct a full investigation into the 36-year-old
claims against you when you were a high school student? It’s not like
you’ve got anything to lose since, well, you’re innocent - or you say
you are anyway. You DO want to clear your name, don’t you?’
It
sounds logical, on the surface at least, which is why Democrats kept
rolling with it (Give them a break, will you? Normally even the
appearance of logic is lacking from anything liberals say, so can you
blame them for latching onto this like a Schnauzer to a new chew toy).
Judge
Kav kept responding by asserting his innocence and stating that he
would do anything the committee wanted him to do. Yet he couldn’t, or
wouldn’t, state the obvious, likely because of how it would have been
perceived and pounced upon by partisans looking for a bone to chew. The
obvious being that who in their right mind, knowing they are innocent,
would willingly invite the FBI or any other law enforcement agency into
their life to investigate something they KNOW they didn’t do? Especially
when the only basis behind the allegations is someone lying or
misremembering something and, because of the extreme cold-case nature of
the accusation and the lack of any specific time or place, the near
impossibility of proving one’s innocence (Yes, despite the absurd,
Owellian insistence of Senators Blumenthal and Coons, who have zero
qualms about turning thousands of years of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence on
its head by claiming the accused should prove the accuser wrong).
