I didn't watch the clown shown in Washington this week. I saw some of the choice clips, but frankly I knew it was all for show.
The Dems were never going to vote for Kavanaugh. The hearing were just about coming up with thin reasons to gull the stupid.
Thus when the issue of having the FBI investigate an unverifiable event came up, my immediate thought was: Trump will say yes.
And so he did.
A lot of conservatives are taking this as a defeat. This is because they are locked into what Dilbert creator Scott Adams calls two-dimensional thinking. Donald Trump operates in three dimensions. This is why he keeps winning.
To a two-dimensional thinker, this is a cave to the Dems, a needless delay and an opportunity for a rogue agency to wreak more havoc.
But if one ventures into the third dimension, a few crucial details emerge.
First in foremost, there is nothing left for them to look at with Judge Kavanaugh. His life is an open book. Everyone he knows or has known has already been vetted.
This means the investigation must necessarily center on the charges before him and therefore the story of the accuser. Each inconsistency must be teased out and instead of weeping for the camera, Ford will have to give straight answers on penalty of lying to federal investigators.
Now I'm sure there are some folks who think that the Deep State FBI will go easy on her. What they don't realize is that the ultimate Deep State is the federal judiciary, with whom the FBI must work each and every day.
Kavanaugh is a sitting judge. He has lots and lots of friends in the judiciary. Moreover, all judges - liberal and conservative - want to see this business of careers getting wrecked through unverifiable accusations stopped in its tracks.
The FBI is loyal to one thing and one thing only - itself. If its agents participate in this smear, judges will take notice and their decisions regarding other matters regarding the FBI will not be so benevolent.
Naturally, Donald Trump knows this. He also knows that the FBI will want to find out where the money for the polygraph came from and what Senator Feinstein knew and when she knew it. In short, there are a lot of things that a thorough investigation will bring out that the Dems don't want revealed.
Indeed, I expect that rather than face an unflinching interrogation, Ford will find an excuse to drop the matter - say for her mental health - that leaves the charges unresolved.
Faced with an uncooperative witness, the GOP squishes will get their fig leaf to vote yes (along with the hefty bribes they wanted) and the Dems will do their usual lockstep "no."
And Kavanaugh will be confirmed.
