Ford’s allegations don’t merit investigation

What are we coming to when an alleged groping incident, which happened decades ago, can halt a Supreme Court confirmation hearing?

An incident that the accused aggresor says never happened and the victim never reported — not even to her parents or friends — yet she calls for an FBI investigation.

With no recollection of how she got to the party, how she got home, no torn clothing, no DNA or anything that would substantiate her claim, exactly what would the FBI be investigating?

The FBI has a hard enough job investigating crimes that can be prosecuted. Tom Reeves Auburndale, Fla.

Why should Americans be hoodwinked into believing that the Republican-led confirmation hearings are really impartial and neutral when listening to evidence — especially when it’s likely to be adverse to their holy annointed Su- preme Court nominee?

Before professor Christine Blasey Ford has even testified under oath, Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have made clear that they are skeptical.

GOP senators refused even to ask the impartial FBI to look into Ford’s allegations, and they instead have been quietly conducting their own investigation. If President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has nothing to hide, he should have asked for an FBI investigation himself.

Kavanaugh should have let witnesses proceed, instead of quickly going with his knee-jerk, lawyer reaction.

Professor Ford is already under death threats, and so is her family. They’ve had to move from their home.

Why would anyone invite such terrible risks to their lives if there weren’t anything to the accusation of sexual trauma?
