The ABA is an organization that performs objective functions such as rating jurist qualifications, and I do believe it largely keeps political hackery out of that function, but it also engages in political advocacy -- and when it does, it is undeniably left-leaning. Calling for "a full FBI investigation" now is a transparently, 100% political act. There already has been an investigation, in full view of the nation for weeks, with no expense spared and with no rocks left unturned. There are no facts left to uncover. The only purpose of further (pointless) investigation is to stall for time. It is not a search for truth. Just be honest about that, please.

With respect to the Ford accusations, has Judge, the other person accused of being present during the assault, been interviewed?

I agree that the Senate hearing was not a search for the truth, by either side. But do you actually believe there has been a legitimate investigation into the allegations?

Judge has sent two letters, under penalty of felony, saying that he has no memory of the party in question and that those actions do not sound like Kananaugh. Of course, they are just letters, much like the one that brought this all all about.

The letter that brought all of this resulted in the person testifying to Congress.

I wonder how many attorneys here would be satisfied with the only response of a key witness being a letter, one that did not even answer specific questions asked.

The letter that resulted in the testifying was meant by the writer to be kept confidential, and only resulted in testimony because somebody on the left leaked it., probably to force her into testifying.Judge's letters have been made public

Judge's letters are under penalty of felony; Ford's was not.

I wonder how many attorneys would be satisfied with sworn, written testimony? Mueller apparently is.

Still, the larger point is, a letter was enough to bring this matter up, why is a letter not now enough?
