Siobhan Crummey - FBI Kavanaugh investigation

This week, we have all seen the name Kavanaugh all over the news. The investigation, the testimonies, and the conflicting stories. Even Donald Trump tweeted about it (though we shouldn't be that surprised about that). The hearings of Kavanuagh and and Christine Ford took place on Thursday the 27th, and since then everyone is talking about it. SNL did a bit on it, and every news station has their own take. Kavanaugh has said things like "One of my closest friends to this day is a woman who has been sexually assaulted", and "in my younger years I kept very detailed calendars," stating that he would've written in down if he went to a party. He also frequently mentioned that he liked beer, he drank a lot of beer, and that he often drank so many beers he blacked out. But nobody seemed to touch on the fact that he possibly had a drinking problem. Meanwhile Christine Ford gave a detailed description of her assault, saying that she could feel his weight and that him and his friend were laughing at her own expense. Frankly, it is disgusting that anyone would even think that she could lie about sexual assault especially when she has nothing to gain from it.

Historically, this has been happening for hundreds of years and that fact that its just now becoming a big deal is long overdue. This piece was intended to the masses, to inform people, and so people can know who many or may not be becoming a senator. This was written from the point of view of a journalist, who knows much more on the subject. This is important because a possible rapist could be deciding laws of this country.
