Questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee

Today she spoke. Doctor Christine Blasey Ford said under oath that she recognized 100%   that Trump’s choice for the Supreme Court sexually assaulted her. She a college professor came with the endorsement from her classmates from her school at the time of the attack, 195 of her colleagues and mentors, those  who  attended D.C. schools 1,400 of them and 15 members of the Yale Law School Faculty who are calling for an FBI Investigation. As difficult as it has been for her to come forward with her testimony, her courage has given countless Americans the strength to face their own life shattering pasts and the strength to heal their wounds.
By example she has brought many families into an honest and painful dialogue from a long time ago. For what this has done to her and her family, no one should face harassment disparagingly comments from cheap shot Politicians for simply telling the truth. For every charge and pathetic tweet there have been thousands of Americans women and men who believe her and thank her for her courage. By listening to her experience there is no wonder that many sexual assault survivors spend their lives suffering in pained silence. Doctor Ford had absolutely nothing to gain by bringing the facts to the surface. The fact that she testified today however terrified again, and the fact that she wants an FBI Investigation to find the details that she can’t remember, and the fact that she is naming Brett and his friends in the attack is in sharp contrast to the obstruction from Trump and Brett who will not order an FBI Investigation, who won’t take a lie detector test and who refuses to testify.
The FBI should have already investigated the charges as they did in 1991 in the Anita Hill hearings. Mark Judge should be subpoenaed to testify instead of being allowed to hide in his beach hideaway since she testified under oath that  he was there during the assault. If Judge Kavanagh truly believes that there is no evidence, no witnesses that could prove her case then he should be joining her and be demanding a FBI Investigation to discover the truth, but he has not. After spending decades trying to forget her terrible night at age 15, her recollection should be less than perfect. A polished liar can create a scene but a trauma survivor can not remember every painful detail.  There are only 2% of convicted rapists in prison now. Why?
Why didn't a single Republican Senate member ask her any questions? Are they afraid that if they tried to discredit her it would hurt their careers?
