I don't recall anywhere it being said it was recovered memory. Just that she first disclosed in during couple's therapy SMR.

Given that we're on the internet, a cite is usually a link to a source. You saying that it was reported is not a cite.

ETA: The point of a cite is so that people can go validate the source themselves.

Just to make it stark how incredibly dishonestly the GOP is handling this...

Orrin Hatch on Twitter:

The FBI does not do investigations like this. The responsibility falls to us.

Chairman @ChuckGrassley has moved our committee vote to accommodate Dr. Ford’s lawyer’s offer on TV yesterday to have her client testify before the Judiciary Committee.

We should proceed as planned.


Orrin Hatch during the Anita Hill hearing:

It is absolutely standard procedure to refer this for investigation to the FBI. It always has been. This is what they do. Hatch KNOWS it.

The GOP are now lying and saying the FBI can't do these investigations.


So the situation we have now is the accuser is asking for an FBI investigation, Kavanaugh is most certainly not wanting the FBI to investigate, and the GOP are lying their asses off to block that investigation from occuring.


Tell us again who isn't telling the truth here smr. Because I'm not familiar with a lot of cases where the *only* side demanding law enforcement investigate the issue is the party that is lying, and the side telling the truth does everything in their power to stonewall an investigation. Are you?

The FBI can be directed to investigate anything. They can even be directed to investigate this. Frankly, I don't think they'd be the best body to investigate it. MD State Police or the Sheriff's department would have a lot more experience investigating sexual assault than the FBI. FBI's only real benefit would be making it easier to interview the 6 people who are spread out all over the world.

So make up your mind what BS story it is you want to claim is going on here.


I haven't seen anything credible suggesting that it is a 'recovered memory'. If it was, however, I would instantly place zero value on her story. Why? So called 'recovered memories' are almost always false memories created by the questions asked by the therapist.

Ywing, my understanding is that the FBI were asked to do it as part of their background check function.
But as that had already closed, only the President can order it reopened.

Annachie, I believe that is what is requested. However, democrats are asking for a full investigation into the allegations. That's not the same as what you would do in a background investigation.
