Sorry. I can't hear you over the sweet sound of a confirmation vote on Kavanaugh for Saturday.

A new posting at 4:10AM EDT from the Official Twitter account of Senator Chuck Grassley:
FBI supplement requested Friday sept 28 by bipartisan group of senators w specific scope of current/credible allegations. Dr Ford & Judge Kavanaugh had opportunity to testify under oath b4 public/cmte to tell senators what they know
This FBI material will b handled per 2009 memorandum of understanding/MOU signed btwn Obama WHCounsel & then-SJC Chairman Leahy. Thats latest memorialization of this “loan agreement” of ExecBranch material. Feinstein, Durbin, Schumer, & others were on SJC in 09 & didnt object
Thanks for posting.
Grassley’s using their own rules against them to keep this report tamped down.
He’s a cagey old coot.
You need a full page link.
Sorry, I don't know how to do that for a "tweet thread" like this. And if I gave a link to Grassley's twitter account, then these three tweets will show right now, but won't in the future when future tweets drive them off the bottom of the page.
I will gladly fix it if there's a way. Do you know how?
The edited full text of the report will be in the NY Slimes today.

Scram -if you click on the individual tweet at his page, it will take you to a popup page, the direct link to which is above.
The link is there, right at the top of the post.
Yossarian ya done good! Thank Q
Game over.
The White House on Thursday announced that it has received the FBI's supplemental background investigation into President Trump's pick for the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, and is "fully confident" that he will eventually be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
The FBI was tasked by Trump last week to look into allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against Kavanaugh by three women. The investigation commenced after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford -- the first woman to come forward -- testified before the Senate Judiciary last week about her claims against the federal judge.
Raj Shah, the principal deputy press secretary for the White House, said the FBI report is currently "being transmitted to the Senate."
"With [Senate Majority] Leader [Mitch] McConnell’s cloture filing, Senators have been given ample time to review this seventh background investigation," Shah said in a statement posted to Twitter. “This is the last addition to the most comprehensive review of a Supreme Court nominee in history, which includes extensive hearings, multiple committee interviews, over 1,200 questions for the record and over a half million pages of documents.”
I tried your link, and it just resolves to: https://twitter.com/ChuckGrassley
In the near future your link won't show these tweets, because the page is dynamic, with new content driving old content down.
In the future for such cases, I'll post links the component tweets:

How do I know? My moon bat cousin and his wife have been posting about it on Facebook already. Their Leftist friends join in in agreement. I guess this is "astro-turfing?" Trying to persuade others on Facebook to agree with them.
It's like clockwork. Every time there is a new talking point, my cousin posts a political opinion that matches the outrage of the day. It nearly matches up to other postings of other Liberals I know. My only question is whether my cousin get paid to post thins nonsense?
“The edited full text of the report will be in the NY Slimes today.”
Will all Senators and staff be searched for hidden cameras or other electronic devices prior to being allowed in?
“Grassley’s using their own rules against them to keep this report tamped down.

It’s disgusting how a week ago today, Dr. Ford was the Second Coming of Christ and treated like Queen Elizabeth II... My, how things have changed in a week.
The FBI did her a disservice, more than anything...
“It nearly matches up to other postings of other Liberals I know...”
I play in a rock cover band and have a wide circle of liberal friends - aged hippies. They are very nice people when the subject is music, but politics turns them into complete a$$holes. I experience the same group think, with identical talking points coming up like clockwork.
My guess as to where they get their marching orders is that they all love the Bill Mahr show and other late night shows that I never watch. Bill Mahr or a celebrity guest will say something and they will all repeat it robotically the next day, word for word. They all nod to each other in agreement and if you argue with them, they have a snarky response at the ready, which has also been provided by Bill Mahr & co.
I no longer visit FB for this reason. I have learned to wriggle out of conversations whenever possible - debating with brainwashed people is pointless.
Every once in a while a liberal claims to be open-minded and if they seem sincere I may give it a shot, but I always regret it - their attempt at open mindedness may be genuine, but at the very first opportunity, they fail miserably.
As Alan Dershowitz puts it, they always fail the “putting the shoe on the other foot” test. They are simply unable to hold Democrat politicians or Leftist celebrities to the same standards as Republicans or conservatives - and they seem totally unaware of their own inconsistencies.
