Dems renew questions about FBI background check of Kavanaugh
Associated Press ^ | July 24, 2021 | Eric Tucker

Senate Democrats are raising new concerns about the thoroughness of the FBI’s background investigation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after the FBI revealed that it had received thousands of tips and had provided “all relevant” ones to the White House counsel’s office.

The FBI, responding to longstanding questions from Democrats, disclosed in a letter late last month that it had received more than 4,500 tips as it investigated the nominee’s past following his 2018 nomination by President Donald Trump. The process was the first time that the FBI had set up a tip line for a nominee undergoing Senate confirmation, said an assistant FBI director, Jill Tyson, writing on behalf of Director Christopher Wray.

A group of Democratic senators said in a letter to Wray dated Wednesday that his response “raises significant additional questions.” They called on him to explain, among other things, how many tips the FBI decided were relevant and what criteria agents used to make that determination and what policies and procedures were used to vet the tips. The senators also asked for more information about the tip line, including how it was staffed and how the tips were recorded or preserved. …

Kavanaugh should have fought for the rightful winner of the election. Now he’s at the mercy of the corrupt FBI. They can produce whatever “evidence” they want to . Fabricated to destroy him.

Did any of the tips warn that Kavanaugh would veer left?

Kavanaugh has never cast a vote that was in
Opposition to Roberts.

Do you think they want to oust Roberts?

Roberts and Kavanaugh are the biggest gifts ever given to the Dems.

Roberts is compromised, have to wonder about Kavanaugh.

“ Every deranged cat lady in the country was claiming Kavanaugh raped her in eighth grade.”

I heard he raped his first grade teacher during class

It’s too bad Kavanaugh decided to stab us all in the back and reveal himself as a left leaning disappointment. I no longer care how bad the left tortures him over nothing.

He's a weakling who thinks the press will change their minds about him if he votes with the left. The fact that there is now more negative press coverage on him means that it's working. Expect even more lefty judgement from him.

The guy is at best a John Roberts clone. He votes with Roberts 95% of the time. He’s no Scalia.

It never ceases to amaze me how some FReepers are so quick to turn yesterday’s heroes into today’s villains.

This is the horse head on Kavanaugh’s pillow from the Democrat mafia.

Every single one of these tips were provided to each Senator at the time of the hearings.

It's almost as if they want to pressure the honorable justice about an upcoming case. Oh, look...

This whole thing makes me think it was just a psyop move to make the conservatives sympathetic to Kavanaugh and that the deep state knew what he really was.

I must admit I have not followed the voting of every Supreme Court case since Kavanaugh was appointed. But there has been a lot of talk on this site, about how Kavanaugh has turned out to be too liberal.

The libs decided to gum up the works with 4500 “tips” to delay any action. There is no way that the system could handle that level in a reasonable amount of time so they defeated themselves if there were any real actionable information.

“Let them go for it. I don’t care.”

Yep. That’s how I feel too.

He tried to placate the left and he stabbed Trump in the back. He’s a typical establishment hack. I have no sympathy for the man.

"The FBI...had received more than 4,500 tips as it investigated the nominee’s past following his 2018 nomination by President Donald Trump. "

Marxist libs collecting dirt that they could use for blackmail as desired at some later more advantageous time.
