So Ford says she wants an FBI investigation before she testifies.
Grassley and Hatch say hey, we’re giving her a chance to come tell her story on Monday, if she doesn’t want to then let’s just vote.
Morning Joe says what would an FBI investigation add?

Here’s what it would add.

The other guy who was in the room, his lawyer’s letter says he doesn’t remember any such event. But if he were subpoenaed and had to testify under oath, or if the FBI sat down to talk to him, maybe “he doesn’t remember such an event” turns into “I was a blackout drunk, I don’t remember anything after 9pm on any day that whole year”… which doesn’t confirm her story, but it’s sure not exculpatory for Kavanaugh either.

And one or two of the girls who were downstairs at the time, whose names she told WaPo… nobody’s talked to them. But maybe they’ve since gotten married and changed their names, and when the story broke they decided to go sailing or camping or something for a couple of weeks and nobody can get them on the phone, because they or their husbands have professional reasons not to want to get on the bad side of an appellate court judge who might soon be a supreme, so WaPo can’t reach them to ask. But if there were an FBI investigation, they can’t stay incommunicado forever. They’d have to answer a few questions. Like if there was such a party, and she ran downstairs and out of the house looking frazzled, and the guys told them something and they stopped being friendly with her and never spoke to her again.

This is what would be the point of an FBI investigation.
