Gowdy: Kavanaugh Does Not Have the Burden of Proving His Innocence; Gov’t Has the Burden of Proof

‘It’s an incredibly serious allegation’

EXCERPT: 

GOWDY: "Wow. I’m a little surprised to what the Senator from New York said. I know that she talked to The Washington Post before the FBI investigated it. The FBI does not have jurisdiction over state sex assault claims. If they want to locate witnesses, if there are witnesses that know whether or not this happened, I am all for it and I am compelled to testify. The Judge Kavanaugh does not have the burden of proving his innocence. The Government has the burden of proof in a criminal case. If someone argues, this isn’t criminal, you know, he was vetted for the second highest court in the land 15 years ago. These are incredibly serious allegations. If they make you unfit for the highest court in the land, would they also not make you unfit for the second highest court in the land?"
