Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) is calling on the FBI to investigate allegations of attempted sexual assault facing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, charges that have delayed his confirmation vote.
Schumer on Monday evening accused the White House of “intentionally” choosing “to bury its head in the sand and make weak excuses” for its pick.
“We need the FBI to step forward to ensure that the Senate and American public have complete information about this troubling alleged incident before a hearing is held,” he said in a statement.
Schumer issued his remarks shortly after the Justice Department announced that the allegation against Kavanaugh “does not involve any potential federal crime,” according to the Associated Press.
Department officials asserted Monday evening that the FBI’s role in conducting background checks is to assess whether potential nominees may pose risks to national security. They may have concluded a 36-year-old charge of attempted assault stemming from Kavanaugh’s high school years does not threaten national security.
Schumer explained that he is not asking for a criminal investigation but for a deeper probe since the earlier FBI review did not delve into claims by Christine Blasey Ford that Kavanaugh attempted to strip off her clothes while she was attending a party as a 15-year-old high school sophomore.
“The White House understands very well that we aren’t asking to open a criminal investigation, but to have the FBI re-open and complete the standard background investigation for someone who has been nominated for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court,” he said in his statement.
A Democratic aide said the White House can urge the FBI to reopen its background check since Kavanaugh is one of its nominees.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold an additional day of hearings Monday to review Ford’s accusation and to give Kavanaugh a chance to refute her claims.
Hundreds of graduates from Ford’s high school, the Holton-Arms School, have signed a letter declaring they believe her story. The signatories include women who graduated in the early 1980s and could, according to Democrats and their allies, provide some corroborating evidence pertaining to Kavanaugh’s conduct three decades ago.
A group of 65 women who knew Kavanaugh when he attended high school from 1979 to 1983 wrote in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee that “for the entire time” they knew Kavanaugh, he “has behaved honorably and treated women with respect.”
exactly!
Sorry candy a$$ Schumer, you have no authority.
The people have spoken.
Schumer is the Enemy of the People.

Schumer, again asinine, insists that you use a canoe paddle to stir your tea. Creator of teapot tempests. Delay, delay, delay.
If that's not worthy for the FBI then we do have another case of them straining out gnats while swallowing camels.

On another thread someone included a statement of a classmate of hers. . .including her noted nicknames, behavior, etc. If true, oh my!
Who gives this walking dick with ears Viagra every morning to stiffen his spine so he can walk on two legs?
I thought the FBI already said they were not going to investigate the “nothing” that didn’t happen 36 years ago.
And none of them are witnesses, or even knew Ford. Purposely misleading "reporting", which is what Bolton does.
Do the Democrats believe this story. I don’t think so. They are just crooked collusionists.
Whenever I hear Schumer’s name or see his face I get a sudden urge to go take a shower. The sleaze just drips off the guy.
What federal crime is alleged?
Kavenaugh passed numerous thorough FBI background checks.
The FIB alleged that the fake dossier’s tales of a pee pee video could be used for blackmail and then leaked said news of the alleged pee pee video to the press so it could be used as fodder on late night television to harm the administration with no evidence.
The FIB is a bad actor.
she told her analyst about it in 2012 when she was thinking that Kavanaugh might become a Supreme Court nominee if Mitt Romney was elected.
The trap was laid years ago.
“Yeah, right. We’ll do that right after we take down the Easter Bunny for egg expropriation.”
This whole thing reminds me of scenes from American Pie....
So: this investigation has already been done, six times over. Chuck Schumer knows this. What more does he think the FBI should do now? Dust the doorknobs of every bedroom in every house in Bethesda (since the accuser can't remember an address) looking for prints of Brett Kavanaugh? From 36 years ago?
Guess he wants to pull McCabe and Strzok out of “retirement” to head the investigation.
Gee, which federal crime did he commit?
You are being too kind in your assessment...
If only they had to same ending...
Call in the FBI, this is now the Dem talking point. What next, a two year Mueller investigation, UGH. This is a political HIT, GOP senators should know this and act accordingly or muddy their legacy for life.
