Former FBI agents say there are clues to follow from dramatic Kavanaugh hearing

[ffr]

Former FBI officials expressed confidence Friday that agents could quickly interview key witnesses and track down potential leads into Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were both high school students in the early 1980s.

Doing so might offer greater clarity than the dueling but inconclusive testimony that emerged in a wrenching Senate hearing on Thursday from the 51-year-old California professor and the 53-year-old federal judge.

If the FBI gets involved, agents would probably focus their first interviews on Ford, Kavanaugh, Judge, Smythe and Keyser, former agents said. They would then expand the circle as they developed leads.

Former agents noted that Kavanaugh’s calendar entries from 1982 could help provide timelines and additional witnesses. They noted, for example, a calendar entry on July 1 of a party with several friends, including Judge and Smythe. - LA Times

1. It should be very interesting!

I wish they weren't restricted to one week, but they should be OK with it.

I know they're hitting the ground running, and that bodes well for their work.

12. Wouldn't be surprised to learn that

contingency plans for a re-opened investigation were already done given all the requests for that to be done. Once the order from Trump came down, the FBI was ready to go.

6. I hope the FBI

finds something to bury him, but frankly I don't trust the Republican party not to force him through anyway.
