Simplifying response because the coding of this forum is atrocious and keeps crashing.
1. Regardless of whether the Senate is good at interrogating or not, if Ford had anything to add to her testimony, she didn't need the FBI to do it.
2. Kavanaugh was not adamant about avoiding an FBI investigation.
3. As far as I know, everyone who had the Devil's Triangle, boof, and Renate references in the yearbook back Kavanaugh.
4. The roommate didn't go to Georgetown Prep. Unless Kavanaugh taught him the game, he wouldn't know about it.
5. I'm hardly convinced that Devil's Triangle was all that common as a sexual reference, much less boof which seems rather obscure by any measure.
6. Your premise is still based on a bunch of teenage boys in the early-80s shouting to the world that they get off on being naked with other men. To say the least, the early-80s were hardly a time where even mildly homosexual behavior was often crowed about.
7. You cleared Kavanaugh yourself on the Pickering thing. Even though I'm not familiar with that specific quote, his statement of "among others" is vague and could well encompass Pickering. So what the heck is the complaint? The whole perjury complaint is a rather blatant smear that is easily deflected as a matter of the facts, but the charge is vicious enough that
8. I'm not aware of the court investigating anything. I'm also not aware of the federal investigation you had originally alluded to.

1. There's no "regardless". Interrogations involves questions. Questions designed to prompt responses they otherwise may not give, or think of. The Senate are not trained to interrogate. Both Ford and Kavanaugh should have been questioned by the FBI after the hearing. And like I told you, she needed some help from investigators in at least one instance. Possibly more.
2. Let's not resort to arguing semantics now. You know exactly what I meant, but ignore the entire point and purely focusing on the semantics.
He constantly/consistently opposed an FBI investigation by deferring to "whatever the committee wants". Which everyone knew was 'no'. He also didn't want to take a lie detector test. What innocent person, who previously explained the importance of polygraphs for both screening of law enforcement and accuracy of witnesses, would suddenly not want to take one when their accuser did?
3. Except Renate herself you mean? Who found it hurtful and shocking, and prays their daughters "won't be treated this way". As anyone would. Tell me if you believe "Renate allumni" was meant as a nice comment, and that he didn't obviously assume that people who would read it would think it referred to a sexual conquest?
4. He didn't have to go to Georgetown Prep to know that Devil's Triangle was a widely known sexual reference, and hearing Kavanaugh and his friends use it as a sexual reference regularly. And he's far from the only one making that claim.
Someone saying that it was a drinking game, even if true is not an indication of it not being a sexual reference. At best it only means they weren't aware of it's original meaning.
I had people in my class who had never heard the term 'thong' before. Doesn't mean it wasn't a very commonly used term. And it was.
5. If extensive interviews conducted by New York Times with Kavanaugh's former Georgetown Prep classmates does not convince you, then I'mure nothing will.
6. No, I already told you that prep school boys partied with girls on the weekend. And Renate, which was right there in his yearbook as well, is not a boys name last time I checked.
7. When in that same hearing he was asked to name cases he was involved in, he omitted Pickering. The accusation is that he tried to conceal the fact that he knew he had received information stolen from Senate Democrats. And that he tried to mislead the Senate into thinking he wasn't particularly involved with handling Pickering. While evidence suggests that he was heavily involved, and in some cases appeared to be the authority on the matter.
8. Due to how you structure your replies, I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to. But I assume you're asking for this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6229253/Brett-Kavanaugh-faces-official-ethics-complaints-Merrick-Garland-decide-them.html

the fact that you appear to be treating high school boys bragging about having sex as something relevant is bizarre to me
as i've asked you before i don't know what type of peer group you were in at school but do you mean t tell me that you find this behavior unusual? i mean are you being serious? lol
"prays their daughters "won't be treated this way"."
treated what way? what does renate allumni mean? how did kavanuagh treat this woman? did he hit her? did she experience an attempted rape?
"e didn't have to go to Georgetown Prep to know that Devil's Triangle was a widely known sexual reference"
and lets say that it was a reference to having a gangbang as i assume is the implication... so what?
what is wrong with people consenting to having gangbangs?
is the sole basis of your argument that if kavanuagh had sex in high school then he's a bad person and must have raped ford?
