President Trump ordered a limited, week-long FBI probe of the allegations against his Supreme Court pick, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, at the request of the Senate Judiciary Committee. It was a 180-degree turn from his previous statements about such a move.

No it's not Stop trying to clog our courts with bullshit

No big deal. Brett passed the first of three confirmation votes.

Even Trump, as obstinate and petulant as he is, can be made to do the right thing if he's completely boxed in. An extension of the FBI investigation, seemingly pie-in-the sky for Dems one minute, dropped Kav's confirmation prospects to zero without it in the next.

Why is it limited

Like President, Like Supreme Court Justice.

McConnell told him that he's already got the votes. The FBI investigation turns up nothing, obviously. Democrats wail. Kav gets confirmed. Trump says "See, I gave them what they wanted and they're still not happy."

They need to fully investigate Dr. Ford. We know nothing about her other than her testimony. Everyone certainly knows about Kavanaugh‘s history for the past 35 years by too many people who have known him personally & professionally - we don’t have any of that information on her

So they assign an agent from Alaska and they tell him he must drive back and forth? That should be speedy.

Can I state the obvi? Divorce yrslf from all emotions & consider facts that kept emerging during testimony: Dr. F: well versed in the science of traumatic memory, has no reason to put hrself thru this Judge K: smart, athletc, religious, hoping to get promotd, evasive & defensive

It’s a joke.

What an outrage!!! He shouldn’t be forcing an FBI investigation!!! Impeach now!!!

180? you mean a 360 because he said that he would leave it up to the committee to decide and he's done just that, they asked for an investigation and he's giving it. Is honest journalism dead?

In return, he's auditioning a new Attorney General in LindseyGrahamSC .

just like the Putin thing - "it wasn't him " then "i mean it must have been him" - simple no? u all just misunderstood because who';s the stable genius around here? thought so -

realDonaldTrump has correctly reassessed the situation. Tossing Kavenaugh aside and appointing a strong “unimpeachable” conservative female judge, while there’s time to confirm, is his best move. The Kavenaugh fiasco will be over on Monday.

The crying did him in. Trump repudiates weakness.

Limited? Every person on the committee said a week was sufficient. That’s what he gave them. Your spin DOESNT HELP!!

That's because the Democrats are playing dirty and pushed the Republicans into a corner. They don't know how to do anything except by bullying, threats or violence!

Ordered, my ass. Smh

One week isn't long enough to to accomplish anything.

WTF. How many times can you vet a guy especially in a Democratic owned FBI.

Whatever his motivation, Trump finally has done something other than fan the flames of resentment.

Limited?

Why? Because he’s sure they can cover it

Ask the FBI to release realDonaldTrump's Tax Records while they're at it ;-)lol

Scheduling people for interviews takes more than a week.

This only means realDonaldTrump has some trick up his sleeve

realDonaldTrump this is not the FBI jurisdiction the Mystery Drama she said after 36 Year's Vs Judge Brett Kavanaugh...It's a very hard puzzle to solved...

he raped my newborn tooo cnn

Define "limited" (?). Is this gonna be another realDonaldTrump-ian/GOP con/scam/fraud/farce/fiasco ? Stay Tuned !

Dont Let This Devil Fool You... He Got Another Good Ole Boy If This One Dont Make It .

Still don't trust realDonaldTrump or Kavanaugh.

The vote was NO.

Kavanaugh vote: Senate Republican leaders agree to new FBI background investigation of KavanaughThe announcement came after two key Republicans suggested they would not vote to confirm Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court without additional information on sexual misconduct allegations against him. Analysis: Does the Senate have the votes to confirm Kavanaugh? Because the 7th one will do the trick. Ridiculous. What a wicked, ingenious way from the Republicans to get rid of Kavanaugh while keeping their *talons off the carrion. Kavanaugh will withdraw!
