Despite lacking evidence to corroborate sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Democrats now claim the ongoing FBI investigation is inadequate.
Peter Hasson, at The Daily Caller, reports:
Still lacking corroborating evidence of disputed sexual misconduct accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, some Democrats now want Kavanaugh investigated for perjury in the latest iteration of their months-long campaign to derail his confirmation.
The perjury push comes as Democrats still lack corroborating evidence to support professor Christine Blasey Ford‘s claim that Kavanaugh tried to drunkenly force himself on her while the two were in high school.
Other than Ford, none of the alleged party attendees — including Ford’s longtime friend, Leland Keyser — have any recollection of the event happening.
Two other Kavanaugh accusers similarly lack corroborating evidence for their claims.
But, predictably, congressional Democrats moved the goalposts.
In an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) said the House of Representative “would have to” investigate Kavanaugh for perjury if the Senate confirms him without launching a new investigation for that purpose.
“We would have to investigate any credible allegations, certainly of perjury and other things that haven’t been properly looked into,” Nadler pontificated on Sunday.
.@GStephanopoulos: “Would Justice Kavanaugh have to recuse himself from cases involving congressional Democrats?”
Rep. Jerrold Nadler: “I think the proper thing would be, yes … I was astonished at his rant … he’s supposed to be non-partisan” https://t.co/Lt6UK9KuUw #ThisWeek pic.twitter.com/ls7NVLlpTu
