If truth were the only goal, there would be no clock, and the investigation wouldn’t have been sought after the Senate Judiciary Committee already endorsed the nominee. Instead, it seems that the Republican goal is to be able to say there was an investigation and it didn’t change their view, while the Democrats hope for incriminating evidence to derail the nominee.
Although the process is deeply flawed, and apparently designed to thwart the fact-gathering process, the F.B.I. is up for this. It’s not as hard as Republicans hope it will be.
F.B.I. agents are experts at interviewing people and quickly dispatching leads to their colleagues around the world to follow with additional interviews. Unless limited in some way by the Trump administration, they can speak to scores of people in a few days, if necessary.
They will confront people with testimony and other accounts, testing them and pushing them in a professional way. Agents have much better nonsense detectors than partisans, because they aren’t starting with a conclusion.
Yes, the alleged incident occurred 36 years ago. But F.B.I. agents know time has very little to do with memory. They know every married person remembers the weather on their wedding day, no matter how long ago. Significance drives memory. They also know that little lies point to bigger lies. They know that obvious lies by the nominee about the meaning of words in a yearbook are a flashing signal to dig deeper.
Once they start interviewing, every witness knows the consequences. It is one thing to have your lawyer submit a statement on your behalf. It is a very different thing to sit across from two F.B.I. special agents and answer their relentless questions. Of course, the bureau won’t have subpoena power

Eisenstein has ONE chance to show why his butt should not be kicked to the curb
I’m sure James Comey thinks his FBI guys can do this.
It is still his guys running the FBI.
Hey Comey.....eat s***.
That statement shows the depth of Comey's bias. Really unbelievable open bias.
Rosenstein. Good going, autocorrect.
Comey who called for everyone to vote 100% Democrat could not be more of a biased liberal.
Written by James “I cleared Shrillary before I interviewed her” Comey.
What a sleaze.
Remember when Comey reviewd the thousands of e-mails on Weiner’s computer in a week and announced Hillary was clear?
The latest Avenatti accomplice aka #BoofGate-er is Jim Comey. His obvious lies about terms from his yearbook? That is 100% Avenatti, Mr. Comey.
I hear 4Chan has some opening for PizzaGate investigators, maybe Mr.Comey should apply.
Well Jimmy boy, she isn’t clear on the time, date and place.
Write away Jimmy, your time is a comin’.

Like Comey did with Hillary.
Agents aren’t partisan? Everyone can remember every detail of key events? Then why can’t Ford remember key details?!
Oh, one more quick idea. Kavanaugh ought to hire Mike Judge and every person mentioned on his calendar as his “attorney”...then the FBI couldn’t interview them because of attorney-client privilege.
The same tactic, IIRC, Comey and Hillary used.
If truth were the only goal, the memo exonerating Hilly would not have been written months before interviews/investigation and there would have been a GENUINE investigation.
Comey is a hypocrite on steroids.
Comey is in favor of this? I don’t like the sound of that. Now I’m worried.
Hah! So true! They should!
Its Unbelievable what the Left gets away with! They will go Ballistic!
Comey stained the FIB. Put of an APB for his DNA...
The Left are Pathological Liars.. Hope that is apparent to the people who have been sitting on the fence.
Whatever happens to the “declassified” FISA docs Congress was suppose to see? I guess we can’t chew gum and walk at the same time?
