The inescapable conclusion is that the Republican led judiciary committee did not invite or compell Judge to testify because they 1) believe his testimony will corroborate Ford’s account; or 2) they do not know whether his testimony will help or hurt Kavanaugh. Even I know that an attorney does not call a witness unless they are reasonably sure of the testimony said witness will give. Further it does not take a law degree to know that if two people give conflicting accounts under oath of an incident involving three people, the only recourse if you are seeking the truth is to ask the third person under oath what happened. That Republicans have not done so means they believe Kavanaugh is lying and they want to hide the truth or they are uncertain as to whether Kavanaugh is lying and they want to hide the truth. Whichever the case, they want to hide the truth. In other words they do not care if Kavanaugh is a sexual predator (drunk or otherwise) as long as he is confirmed. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the Republican Party.
