Please tell me the sender wasn't such an idiot as to put his own address in a simili-terror attack... Then again, terrorists in France and the US tend to leave passports lying around, so you never know xD So these were castor seeds, not directly ricin. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/ricin-scare-prompted-castor-seeds-us-official/story?id=58254992 | ||

The FBI might already have said “very important” information. There can be 50 eye witnesses to a crime. You don’t need all 50 of them to make the case. How about "I have very important information specifically related to the charges in question" like at least 20 did? Ill return to this post if/when the report reveals jack shit was done. On that note, anyone want to guess how many people were actually interviewed? Over-Under 7.5 people. Who is over and who is under? I'm going under (I hope I am made to look foolish here but my hopes have dropped each day). One final thing, per Fox there will be only one copy of the report under lock and key to try and make sure the public never sees the report. No doubt plenty of Senators will tell us what's in it tho so that may not matter. Source: | ||

If the page is, for example, 20 pages long. And each senator needs half an hour to thoroughly read it. Do they postpone everything for at least two days until everyone has read it? What happens if it is longer? And who decides who gets to read it first, because they will have the advantage of having longer to prepare on how to react? Or do they just assume that no one actually cares, and two people read it and tell the others kinda whats in it? | ||

I think they will just make copies and ask the senators to return them to the committee chairman when they are done reading them. The report isn’t classified, so the only concern is it being leaked. | ||

Nothing in it should be secret unless it is protecting someone other than Kavanaugh. I do not believe in government officials as high up as the supreme Court have the same privacy rights as citizens. There's too much on the line. Something everyone is gonna be on agreement on. Sadly there is just no privacy to protect at this point lol. | ||

EDIT: so there is no way Mitchell knew to ask "have you ever helped someone with a polygraph" unless she knew this letter from the ex boyfriend existed. That is such a random thing. Time and time again it seems like team KAVANAUGH knows of stuff before it leaks out. | ||

Because something was missing in their relationship that prevented the thing closing in a marriage deal. Ex boyfriends should not be surprised to learn that they never got to a sufficient connection level to be privvy to everything. Husbands have grounds to be surprised.

And the whole thing about the preparing someone for a polygraph does cause me to raise my eyebrows. I think some senators might have been sitting on this likely not real letter and let Mitchell know about its content. | ||
