\nU. S. Senator Orrin Hatch, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee investigating Kavanaugh, posted a video from the 1991 Thomas Clarence confirmation hearing.
\u201cDemocrats want you to believe that the role of the FBI investigation is to determine guilt\/innocence, analyze 30-year-old yearbook jargon, and determine how much beer Judge Kavanaugh drank in college,\u201d Hatch said in the Twitter post, \u201cThat\u2019s not how any of this works.\u201d
\u201cAsk Chairman Biden,\u201d he added with a video of Joe Biden in the 1991 Thomas Clarence confirmation hearing.
In a Sept. 27 Senate hearing, Palo Alto University professor Christine Ford accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault in the summer of 1982. Kavanaugh denied the accusation vehemently. Shortly after the hearing, Republican senators agreed to launch an FBI supplemental investigation before the Senate floor votes for Kavanaugh\u2019s confirmation.
The memory of Anita Hill\u2019s accusation of the then Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas in 1991, was refreshed for many when Ford\u2019s accusation emerged. Hill\u2014who was also a professor\u2014accused Thomas of sexual harassment and it became the focus of his Senate hearing.
The video shows exactly what the Democrats did at the Senate hearing on Oct. 11,1991, when an FBI report was available.
\u201cSo when people wave an FBI report before you, understand they do not, they do not reach conclusions. They do not make, as my friend points out more accurately, they do not make recommendations,\u201d Biden\u2014the former chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee\u2014can be seen saying in the video while waving a document, likely the FBI report.
\u201cThe reason why we cannot rely on the FBI report, you would not like it if we did because it is inconclusive,\u201d Biden explained, \u201cThey say he said, she said, and they said, period.\u201d
In a Sept. 29 letter, Hatch urged FBI director Christopher Wray to ensure the Kavanaugh investigation meets a designated timeline. He requested the FBI notifies the White House Counsel\u2019s Office \u201cimmediately\u201d if any witness or their attorneys attempt to delay the investigation or decline to cooperate.
Hatch said he had this concern because of the events which led up to Ford\u2019s public hearing.
\u201cAccording to Dr. Ford, she would have preferred to have been interviewed in California, away from the spectacle of a public hearing,\u201d he said, \u201cBut her lawyers apparently refused to convey to their client numerous offers by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley to conduct a public or private interview in a location of her choosing. The lawyers\u2019 refusal led directly to a public hearing, against Dr. Ford\u2019s express wishes.\u201d
Also in the letter, Hatch told Wray that Senators and members of the public who feel that additional investigation is required \u201ccan trust that this matter will be handled fairly.\u201d
Rachel Mitchell, the Arizona prosecutor chosen by Republican senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee to question Ford and Kavanaugh, sent a memo to the Republican senators on Sept. 30, noting the many inconsistencies with Ford\u2019s account that were revealed through questioning during the public hearing on Sept. 27.
Mitchell noted that the memo \u201ccontains my own independent assessment of Dr. Ford\u2019s allegations, based upon my independent review of the evidence and my nearly 25 years experience as a career prosecutor of sex-related and other crimes in Arizona.\u201d
Mitchell wrote that a \u201che said, she said,\u201d case is difficult to prove, but that Ford\u2019s accusation \u201cis even weaker than that.\u201d
\u201cDr. Ford identified other witnesses to the event, and those witnesses either refuted her allegations of failed to corroborate them,\u201d she wrote. \u201cFor the reasons discussed below [in the memo], I do not think that a reasonable prosecutor would bring this case based on the evidence.\u201d
