House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in an attempt to obtain all of the records related to the FBI investigation into Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
"The GOP’s decision to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court has wounded the very soul of justice in our country," Pelosi wrote in a statement to her Democratic colleagues. "To preserve the full record of this dark chapter, I am filing a FOIA request so the public can see the FBI report, transcripts of interviews, instructions from the White House, and any communications to the FBI from Senate Republicans regarding the scope of the investigation.
"This is important to set the record straight."
Pelosi's announcement came a day after the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in a 50-48 vote and he was sworn in.
The vote concluded a contentious confirmation process in which Kavanaugh faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. Kavanaugh has fiercely denied the accusations.
He and Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last month regarding Ford's claim that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party in the 1980's.
GOP senators, including Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), said last week that an FBI investigation into Kavanaugh found no corroboration for Ford's claims.
But many Democrats criticized the investigation, calling it inadequate. Ford's attorneys have also called the investigation a "stain" on the bureau.
“We were given one week to investigate. The Republicans said you’ll get one week, they threw out one week,” Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who sits on the Judiciary Committee, told the Senate last Friday. “And in less than one week, we are presented with paltry documents.”
Pelosi concluded her letter to colleagues by saying that the "health and financial security of families across America" is at stake in November's midterm elections.
"The new conservative majority on the Supreme Court threatens a rollback of protections for people with pre-existing conditions, more leverage for corporate special interests over working families, and little hope to reform Citizens United," Pelosi said. "That is why we must fight even harder to win so that we can advance our For The People agenda."
Alan Dershowitz has said that Kavanaugh can only be impeached for acts conducted while on the Supreme Court, not prior acts to that position (same for Trump - only for acts as President, not prior). Then again, the Dems don’t care about the law and impeachment is ‘political’ so I imagine they’ll try to go after him on whatever grounds they want. It ‘should’ be a major waste of time/energy and as you said, I don’t think either will be removed from office. If the Dems go after impeachment charges, they will continue to demonstrate that they are the equivalent of turd-throwing baboons.
Sen. Kamala Harris is not fit to sit on the Judicial Committee...she is hostile, rude, and downright poisonous. Her demeanor as a senator is atrocious as are all radical Democrats.
Harris ans Booker imploded during the hearings. Both exposed themselves as marginal figures. Neither is the “next Obama.”
Yet another big win from all that. The Dems have no bench.
Many of the wotnessss were reluctant to come forward due to the death threats and leftist crazies.
A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named Pelosium. The chemical symbol of Pelosium is Pu. Pelosium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons and 224 deputy assistant neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 311. These particles are held together by dark particles called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Pelosium’s mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons within the Pelosium molecule, leading to the formation of isodopes. This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to believe that Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.
When catalyzed with money, Pelosium activates MSNBCobnoxium and CNNadnausium, both elements that radiate orders of magnitude more energy, albeit as incoherent noise, since they have half as many peons but twice as many morons as Pelosium.
Since it has no electrons, Pelosium is inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Pelosium takes one reaction over four days to complete when it would have normally occurred in less than a second. In the presence of anti-morons, Pelosium can be extremely corrosive. Botox seems to distort and smooth it’s surface, without impeding its ongoing decay. Pelosium has a normal half-life of approximately two years, at which time it does not decay, but instead undergoes a transmutation, appearing in a new location but displaying the same properties. In this process, assistant neutrons, vice neutrons and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Some studies have shown that the atomic mass actually increases after each transmutation.
Research at other laboratories indicates that Pelosium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points such as government agencies, large corporations, universities, and anywhere news coverage is occurring. It can usually be found in the newest, best appointed, and best maintained buildings.
Scientists point out that Pelosium is known to be toxic at any level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive reaction where it is allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being made to determine how Pelosium can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage, but results to date are not promising.
BullSheit!
Maybe a FOI request to see....
1. all documents and records relating to her faking of the form “certifying” Obammy as somehow “eligible” for POTUS when it was obvious he was never so qualified
and
2. all documents and records relating to how she rammed the damned stinking Obamacare thru Congress without even letting our representatives read the damned bill!
for starters
FOI requests can be so very very fun, ha!
IOW, to borrow a talking point used by the Dims over the past week, do you mean she doesn't have the right "temperament"? ;-)
Pelosi is a loser
I have no doubt that the Founding Fathers and various court rulings have confirmed Professor Dershowitiz's position.I also think that you're entirely correct regarding the Rat Party's utter contempt for the rule of law.
I believe that it's that contempt that will cause them to manufacture grounds for impeachment...with Kavanaugh *and* Trump.
They are burning with a stupid-fire to keep this issue alive. Let them burn.
I’m confused, I thought Feinstein wanted everything sealed and now Pelosi wants it all public..
I thought that was a bipartisan agreement between Flake and Coons.
-PJ
Pelosi’s request translates into “I need this info so Jerry “No Nads” Nadler can impeach Kavanaugh.
BOTOX is a poison and she’s had a lot of it injected round her brain case...
The Intel committee was told to wait 3 years for their Constitutionally mandated oversight role.
So, take a number!
If those idiots can’t understand this,they need to be shown the door. Period.
That’s the Gettysburg Address
The Pelosis are criminals. Trump should have them investigated
“...The new element has been named Pelosium...”
Very clever.
No worries, if I remember correctly Bill Clinton, “Rhodes Scholar” , made the same mistake :D
