Again, I would be take anyone saying “I have very important information to tell the FBI” with a grain of salt. 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.

I wonder how that works. 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?

The optics of keeping it secret are terrible. I hope Booker or someone else just yolo release it in its entirety. 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.

The EX boyfriend seems to not understand a basic thing about EX boyfriends. Why do they tend to be exes and not husbands? 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.

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.
