The left has not been calling for one thing only. They want to delay the confirmation, on the gamble that senate and congress ratios change. That's all it's about.

The people I have known in the FBI are pretty outstanding.

There's a corollary to Occim's razor. Make the hypothesis as simple as possible, but no simpler than the facts actually demand.

You can't ignore the hyper politicized environment. It is what it is.

Well, that's what the FBI is supposed to do - facts.

If Democrats were gambling - Republicans could (and should) have called their bluff long ago and saved themselves some time. There was no point delaying the FBI investigation. But even in the worst case they still have 3 months. It would take a series of monumental fuckups for Republicans to lose that SCOTUS seat.

There is no such thing as "monumental fuckups." There is nothing here except attempts to create delay both by public smear campaign and by legal maneuvers.

There is no "if" to "Democrats gambling." Of course they are. They hope to win majority in the House and have certain strategies predicated upon that outcome.

There is no merit to what the FBI is "supposed to do."
