This morning, a copy of the FBI report on the allegations of sexual abuse leveled at drunken sexual assaulter and rageaholic Brett "KavaNut" Kavanaugh was delivered. The White (Supremacist) House received the first copy, and is already spinning the results as "nothing to see here, let's vote." Here are some numbers to reflect on:
One -- The number of copies available to the Senate to review, in a compartmentalized space in the Senate. Dessicated corn stalk and Judiciary Committee Chair Sen. Chuck Grassley got the copy at 8 a.m., Ranking Member Sen. Dianne Feinstein gets the copy at 9. Committee Rethugs see it at 10 a.m., and Committee Dems see it at 11.We'll find out whether this rushed and limited product will be considered to be valid by Rethuglican Sens. Jeff Flake, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins (and let's not forget red state Dems like Sens. Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp). There's reason to believe that the three Rethugs in question will use the report as a fig leaf to allow them to vote for KavaNut, despite his manifest hyperpartisanship and temperament disqualifiers. About which, a final number:
Five: The number of days the FBI took to complete its investigation, one that was supposedly scoped to interview contemporary witnesses to the alleged assaults of Dr. Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez.
Nine -- The number of people interviewed by the FBI. Neither Dr. Ford nor KavaNut were interviewed. Remember that Ford took a polygraph test and passed.
Forty -- The number of people coming forward to offer to be interviewed under oath, but who were ignored by the FBI, presumably at the instruction of the White (Supremacist) House. A number of witnesses included contemporaries of Ramirez, KavaNut's classmate at Yale, who stated that he waved his junk in her face in a drunken state.
1,200 + - The number of law professors and legal scholars signing a letter opposing KavaNut's confirmation over his "unprecedented and unfathomable demeanor" at last Thursday's hearing where he showed a "lack of judicial restraint." That's putting his entitled, arrogant, and combative hissy fit mildly.
