NY Times: FBI investigation could be finished Monday, Democrats upset(Today Monday)

The F.B.I. moved on Sunday to quickly complete an abbreviated investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, even as Democrats demanded more information about the inquiry’s scope, warning that its apparent constraints could make it a “farce.”…

Officials said the F.B.I.’s “limited” supplemental background check of Judge Kavanaugh could be finished by Monday morning. Set in motion late last week by three Senate Republicans, the inquiry was supposed to shed further light on accusations that Judge Kavanaugh engaged in sexual misconduct during his high school and college years and help resolve the fierce national debate over whether he should win confirmation to the Supreme Court.

But the investigation’s apparent narrow reach has infuriated the judge’s critics, who said he should be subjected to a wide-ranging examination of his drinking and possible sexual misconduct.

Tee Hee! DiFi and Company will poop in their pants if the latest investigation is concluded today and Judge K. is sworn in by Wednesday or Thursday.

If that happens, expect to see a lot of schools stage a lot of ‘walk-outs’ again. As though the GOP is going to suffer because these kids refuse to be educated.

[ What, exactly, is there to “investigate?” ]

1) He be bad because President Trump nominated him.
2) He be bad because Democrats say so
3) He be bad because of his history as a judge
4) He be bad because Dianne Feinstein be good.
5) He be bad because Democrats hate him ‘n’ stuff.
6) He be bad because he not shining example of good like Bill Clinton.

See? It all makes sense. To a Democrat.

“They must not be finding a damn thing.”

After six previous investigations of this poor man I imagine not. Also, finding anything now after six previous would put the fbi in a bad light would it not?....and their light is bad enough right now.

The man has lived an exemplary life for the past 30 years. But this doesn’t count for anything, apparently to the haters on the left.

If you were the FBI team to run this.....somebody is the point person, what do you do? You know the people Dr Ford named. You call talk with them. Most of them were more than happy to cooperate. Honestly, those conference calls could easily be completed by EOBD today. Confirm the stories, ask tough questions about the individual’s memory of that time.

IF there were more serious accusations, they would be in the public domain by now.

It would be a tall order to come up with anything else. This actually works to Kav’s favor. If they FBI comes up with nothing, then the narrative that there will be some asterisk by his name needs to be refuted. Like it nor not a snappy slogan like if the gloves don’t fit, you must acquit is what they need. This is to placate the low information voters.

Remember they were charged with investigating these allegations,not proving Ford is a liar. Her testimony is already on the records, now the FBI is going out trying to find corroboration. All they need to do is compile what they’ve learned, which will most likely just verify what the people involved have already said, i.e nothing new to prove what she’s saying is true. The Dems will scream for more and the R’s will call their bluff and vote to confirm because now even the weakest sisters won’t have any “feelings” to prevent them from voting yes, since they trust the FBI.

That right there is a VERY good question!
Just what is there to be ‘investigated’ even once, let alone seven times at taxpayer expense?

for the fbi to find dirt this time, they would have to admit that they missed dirt all of the other times. it would look bad for the organization.

a clean report is required for the sake of their “good name”.

I second that motion.

This was a major talking point, that since the Anita Hill supplemental investigation took only three days, that there is no reason not to take a few days here to review.

Now they are changing things on us, saying they would need more time.

No, no.

You can’t do that. A maximum of a week is what the Democrats said they wanted. This is what was agreed to.

drinking is now their focus, they must be working their way up to 2 year old bed wetting.

There is no evidence for the FBI to work with.

Only politically motivated and unverifiable statements.

How many times do you have to live through Charlie Brown and the football where the Democrats are concerned?
