I always have an open mind. No there is no crime, however it is important that the Senate gets to the bottom of this sexual assault incident.Glad you still have an open mind......
Anyway in the real world the Senate is the investigative body on the fitness of a judge. There is no crime to investigate here. The only thing left is the credibility of the Judge vs this lady. That's all that's left.
And the Senate has given her numerous ways to do this.
Personally I think she is reluctant because the Dems already leaked on her and will do so again. She can't trust them now if she wants a private setting and is already feeling enough heat due to this as well as the delay which caused this frenzy is now making her out to be a political operative.
Unless she comes forward publically this issue is dead.
Nothing to do with the Democrats "leaking" anything!! Obviously, if she comes to testify and this ends up as a..... "he said / she said," back and forth, then it will make her look even more frustrated.
We know that in 1991 President Bush ordered a FBI investigation on Judge Thomas after those sexual and physical assault allegations by Anita Hall. Those investigations lasted a good 3 days. It was passionately backed by the present Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Republican Grassley. Now the hypocrite just wants this to be concluded by Monday and needs Ford's response by Friday whether she wants to appear on that day.

So again, why should the FBI not conduct a full investigation??
