How Joe Biden’s comments about the FBI and Anita Hill are now being used against Democrats

He uttered the words with visible agitation, overly enunciating at times to show emphasis.

“The next person who refers to an FBI report as being worth anything obviously doesn’t understand anything. FBI explicitly does not, in this case or any other case, reach a conclusion, period. Period.”

On Oct. 12, 1991, Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.), then chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said FBI investigations into sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominees were inconclusive. A report from such an investigation would rehash people’s versions of events without reaching a meaningful conclusion about what had actually happened, Biden said.

At that time, Clarence Thomas, nominated to the Supreme Court by President George H.W. Bush, was facing sexual harassment allegations from Anita Hill, a former University of Oklahoma law professor. The FBI investigated, and the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony from Thomas, Hill and other witnesses.

During one of several hearings, Biden said the committee could not rely on the FBI’s report.

“You would not like it if we did, because it’s inconclusive,” Biden said to Thomas, who sat stoically at a table in front of the Senate panel. “They say, he said, she said and they said, period.”

I still remember the condescending way in which Biden spoke to Thomas at that moment, as if he had to put Thomas “in his place”.

Algore never would have invented the internet if he had known it would later be misused to accurately record what democrats say and do. He just wanted easier access to porn.

In order to clarify his earlier statements about the FBI and the current case against Judge Kavanaugh, Joe Biden has issued this declaration of the list of complaints.

---------------------

I was wearing a swimming suit under my clothes

He tried to kiss me

He grabbed my breast

He tried to make me touch his penis

He put his hand over my mouth

He had a hold of my shoulders and was trying to dry hump me

He has done this to many women

He and other men get women drunk and get them to pull a train
