You might be missing my point, or
Oct 7, 2018 11:02AM PDT

or I didn't make it clearly.
Lying is common, red to blue, vice to versa, spouse to spouse and so on.
Perjury was mentioned here and I suppose other places. AFAIK no proof is needed to begin an FBI investigation of such, the proof comes from the investigation. That's why it's not FBP.
That there was no investigation tells me there was no perjury. Not a trivial matter, so it would have been. Doesn't require Congressional or Presidential permission. Molesting females ALMOST is trivial, any more. [Full disclosure: My government will end that, too.]
And, the topic of the lie is not relevant. Was/wasn't drunk; did/didn't get the paper off the porch - lying under oath is the key.
Also a crime to lie to a Federal officer BTW. To your beat cop, OK; not to the Federal Wildlife guy. Go figure.

Perjury

Perhaps the FBI did not see enough of a case to chase it.

Perhaps the FBI did not want to get involved in this political dust up.

Perhaps they did not want to be seen as influencing K's nomination.

If they started an investigation and the vote was delayed the Don would go crazy.

With the Mueller thing going on they are already into the political world.

What I noticed was lots of talk about perjury,
Oct 7, 2018 2:07PM PDT

a felony, but no one calling 911.
300,000,000 'glued to their sets' but no one dropped the dime.

I think the pointed question from the Dem Senators
Oct 8, 2018 3:52AM PDT

wasn't 'did you get drunk', but rather "did you get drunk to the point of passing out", to which he replied 'no'. Then another question by them "is it possible you got so drunk that you don't remember what you did", to which he answered 'no'.

However, nobody ever questioned the fact that documented proof about her claim that she needed TWO doors on her home so she would have an 'escape' portal, show that those renovations were done TWO YEARS prior to going to her shrink (which she said the doors were the REASON for going) because they were actually closing off one room of their house to rent out and/or use as office space, and NEEDED that second entrance, but the INTERIOR was then blocked off from her main house. How was she supposed to 'escape' if a solid wall was now in place separated the spaces? GOVERNMENT PERMITS for the construction DON'T LIE...…...look it up.

Should the FBI now look at HER testimony for perjury under oath?

Roberts does not want any judges in his court to have a perceived stain.

He needs K cleared by a non-biased group.

Oct 12, 2018 3:26AM PDT

the Dems see Roberts has their savior after he rewrote the language of the Obamacare bill in order to have it pass, and actually stated "elections have consequences and you get what you vote for", they are hoping he can be K's downfall where they failed miserably. I think they are spitting in the wind with that hope, and K will again be fine, much to their chagrin.

It's nice to see
Oct 12, 2018 10:32AM PDT

That you are part of the Dem inner circle and know what they want.

I have not not read anything about K that would disqualify him.

Whatever this other court finds is fine by me.

I hope as much effort that has been put into Kavanaugh's total destruction will be used to put false accusers in prison or a healthy fine ..
