with them? fountain fbi wants to talk to them, i don t have a problem with it. i think most republicans say at this point say whatever you want to look into the next week. look into it. at this point if these allegations are out there there should be accountability for those accusing brett kavanaugh, if, in fact, their stories are not accurate and the fbi will have accountability with them. at the same time, i also think it s important for people to step back and maybe take the politics out of this and say, let the fbi do their job and if brett kavanaugh is, in fact, seen as credible after this investigation, which i fully expect he will be, i really hope that many democrats will come to his aid and say, look, i may not agree with him because a conservative member going on the bench but i m going to say this man s name is a name that is well-respected that should not continued to be talked about in the allegations of rape and they should support him moving on to the supreme court wit
