So, FBI, my very first Call-Out goes to you. Here is a clue for you: When you are conducting an investigation, you are supposed to interview witnesses. When you have a high-profile case where the stakes are a seat on the highest court in the third largest country in the world, and you are arbitrarily given a week to satisfy the cause of justice, you'd best commence to interviewin' the key witnesses, doncha know? "The key witnesses" being defined as those who would be in the best position to know the facts about your case and the principal individuals involved.
Yet, as early as September 30, we began hearing from individuals related to this case with crucial information, who had contacted you, FBI, wanting to make sure the record is set straight, people who had attended parties with the principals in this investigation, and knew something about their habits and character, who were very concerned to weigh in. And you haven't contacted them yet. With this investigation set to wind up any time now, my question is what the hell are you waiting for?
Over the weekend, the question was raised that perhaps some, including the White House, wanted to limit or hamstring the FBI from doing anything but paying lip service to a true investigation. (It's rather hard to take seriously an investigation with a time limit attached. It smacks of "move along, nothing to see here". But the right hand side of the aisle could sit tight. If your boy is all you thought he is, the truth will out. It always does. What's the harm in being sure?). Mr. Trump insisted, "The FBI probe is not being limited. They should interview anyone they want, within reason." Whose reason, one wonders?
Mr. Trump and Congress, take note: your citizens are watching; mid-term elections loom. If you continue down your present path, what you are saying to every American, especially those who have been on the receiving end of the kind of behavior Brett Kavanaugh is accused of, is justice doesn't matter. Character doesn't matter. (And gee, I thought when it was President Clinton with Monica Lewinsky, Republicans said character did matter). And it will tell us who have suffered sexual abuse and assault that, once again, our pain doesn't matter. In the interest of politics, once again, our credibility is questioned, our experiences are marginalized, there is no justice. In other words, if you are sexually abused or assaulted, STFU. And tell us again, why didn't you come forward when it first happened?
