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.

Surprised they didnt ask why he was grounded 3x summer of 1982.

His parents were smart and cautious
He did not have a car.

They don't have to interview her. They have her testimony and Mitchell's report.

Who should they interview??

Feinstein and Eshoo (whatever). They must have additional correspondence including notes, conversations and phone calls and who they talked to.

What became very apparent to me through the whole time of Dr. Ford’s testimony, was that her lawyer’s are running the show, and shared little or nothing with her about any of it. She was the presenter only. She was definitely out-of-the-loop. Her lawyers, and the Dems, (Feinstein’s office who recommended Katz), are the puppet masters. In my whole life, I have never seen a person who was so out of touch with what she was involved in. I take that back...I’ve seen it in psychiatric centers. Frankly, I wonder who has to help that woman get dressed every day.

The FBI is going to interview the people named by Ford as present at the party (and probably Ford and Kavanaugh). That's all they can do.

I don't think they will expand their investigation to the other 2 accusers because they were not asked to do so by the Committee.

I wonder if their (the FBI's) investigation will include a review of the report issued by Rachel Mitchell (the outside sex-crimes prosecutor hired by the GOP senators on the Committee).

That was easy. They just ran a search for Hillary is guilty and could not find anything. Case closed.

You should check Pookie’s Toons today. He’s got the same picture but with the Dems in the hearing room in the back, and Atticus and Tom Robinson in the front. Tom Robinson’s head has been replaced by Brett Kavanaugh’s. Funnier than hell, but sadly, quite the truth.

I read that the Dems are already looking to charge Kavanaugh with perjury over his description of his drinking habits. Next it will be his toilet habits. Does he put the seat down, or doesn't he?

It will never end until the GOP votes to seat him.

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.


I think there may still be an asterisk by his name.

* Really p##sed off at (D) senators and slimey (D) lawyers.

"I'm sure they went back to his youth to look for arrests, disciplinarian actions in High School & College."

I'm surprised the Dems didn't question him about what he'd done to be grounded on those days on his calendar.

AND THIS BAD, BAD NEWS FOR DEMS.......Polls show WRT Kav-Ford hearing believability, it’s a wash.

And, for Democrats, that is an absolute nightmare.

They connived like thieves.....had it all planned.

They’d destroy Kav and Repubs with him.

They’d soar in the polls......collect the votes at midterm.....and return to power.

Too frickin’ bad.....that aint happening.

He needs to say that this ordeal has given him empathy to anyone who might have been falsely accused...

Well, you may have missed it but, I saw on his calendar a couple notations referencing being “grounded”. So, there is that.

Does he weigh more than a duck?

Or does he float like really small rocks?

Back then, she probably had a water bed, so items are hard to crawl under, IIRC.

I saw the grounded on the calendar. I got grounded for not being home by curfew.
