Remember Roy Moore? I'm sure everyone does. First there was one, then there were two, etc., although I'm not sure he ever did get his day in court now that I think about it.
Moore's accusers have dropped their allegations

Moore's accusers have dropped their allegations and quietly disappeared into the night... just as predicted.
No, no day in court.

was it ever explained why they had a list of 65 women ready? why was it created in the first place? what did the gop already know?
When word of a high-school-era sexual misconduct allegation against Kavanaugh emerged last Thursday afternoon, Meghan McCaleb and her husband, Scott, thought they and other high school friends of the nominee needed to speak out. Meghan McCaleb said she launched the letter-writing effort after discussing it with some of Kavanaugh’s former law clerks. She said she contacted friends, who contacted more friends, and they had 65 signatures by the next morning. The rapid-fire response sparked a flare of tweets, including from actresses and liberal activists Debra Messing and Patricia Arquette, questioning how anyone could line up so many high school pals so quickly to speak up for someone they didn’t actually go to school with. McCaleb says the answer is simply “how strongly all of us believe in Judge Kavanaugh and his integrity.” Some of the signers are conservative, such as podcaster and former Republican National Committee spokeswoman Virginia Hume. Others are Democrats. “This has nothing to do with politics,” said one of the signers, Megan Williams. “It’s just about character.”
Several said they interacted with him extensively through sporting events, dances, parties and other socializing or the phone calls that occupied teenage weeknights in the pre-texting era. One worked with him at a summer camp. A second sought his help with homework. Two dated him. Some still see him at social functions. At least one, though, hadn’t spent time or talked one-on-one with him but still felt comfortable attaching her name based on the social situations they shared. Others who signed declined to comment or didn’t respond to inquiries. The AP left messages for all 65. Some have been taken aback by the attention. Many have stayed mum to avoid “the media frenzy,” signer Maura Kane told Fox News, the outlet of choice for several who have given interviews.
A former classmate of Christine Blasey Ford tells NPR that she does not know if an alleged sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh took place as she first suggested on social media. "That it happened or not, I have no idea," Cristina King Miranda told NPR's Nina Totenberg. "I can't say that it did or didn't."
That's different from what Miranda wrote Wednesday in a now-deleted Facebook post that stated definitively, "The incident DID happen, many of us heard about it in school."
Miranda's new comments are a significant development in what remains a largely "she said, he said" account of events between Ford and Kavanaugh. "In my [Facebook] post, I was empowered and I was sure it probably did [happen]," Miranda told NPR. "I had no idea that I would now have to go to the specifics and defend it before 50 cable channels and have my face spread all over MSNBC news and Twitter."

The woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault says the FBI should investigate the incident before senators hold a hearing on the allegations.
In a letter addressed to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and obtained by CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360," Christine Blasey Ford's attorneys argue that "a full investigation by law enforcement officials will ensure that the crucial facts and witnesses in this matter are assessed in a non-partisan manner, and that the Committee is fully informed before conducting any hearing or making any decisions."

This reeks of a political move.
This is exactly what schumer was saying earlier.
Anything to push the conformation off.
293 days. That is how long Merrick Garland waited after President Obama Nominated him for the Supreme Court. He never even got a meeting with the GOP on judiciary committee. His Nomination finally expired when Trump took office.
What were you saying about "reeks of a political move?"
Everyone should be outraged by this crap, no matter your feelings on trump or kavanaugh.
Direct me to the OP you wrote expressing "outrage" when the GOP refused to even meet President Obama's nominee for a year and I will get back to you about joining in your "outrage" that the Dems are looking to delay a vote a few days for the FBI to follow-up with a further background check just like they did with Clarence Thomas when he was accused.
hey as long as you are honest about the attempted delay.....
perhaps you guys should just win more elections
3 days is how long it took the FBI to check out Anita Hill's accusations.
A year is how long they delayed Merrick Garland before it expired.
Hard to take this as a serious delay tactic.

Saying that she heard about it at school at the time
And
Not knowing if it actually happened or not
Are not mutually exclusive truths.
I think the FBI should talk to her and sort it out.
