Only those I don't like says Trump.

always the obstructionist-in-chief

More bulls-it. A Criminal run ing the country.

Feinstein withheld this letter for Months in order to delay the confirmation of Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. DrFord could have come public with this at Anytime if she had wanted to and She knew she was never going to be able to remain anonymous once she sent the letter.

...and the FBI said..."Is it oppeset day?"

How many times per week does he Obstruct Justice. You keeping a scorecard?

Trump should not meddle with the FBI, with regards to him being investigates as a unnamed co conspirator in a felony conviction. If any politician did this he or she would of been impeached immediately. So why has the Republican Party decided to conspired to help or be complicit?

Dear Reuters, he did not “attempt to sexually assault” her. Look up what the word ‘attempt’ means Reuters ChristinaBlaseyFord Kavanagh

It's all a scam. Kennedy's retirement should be probed

Who paid off Kavanaugh's gambling debts WhoOwnsKavanaugh

don’t know why he is in such a big hurry to get him in, once trump is impeached his entire reign should be annulled.

Smart call, because it does not fall under FBI duties.

Because investigations is not what fbi does 🤪

President Pinocchio is finished. He might have pulled off this con had he just been able to shut his mouth occasionally. Even those who voted for him are beginning to realize that when he opens that mouth there’s a 75% chance that a lie or an insult is going to roll out.

Mdwortman630 It won’t work out the way he thinks it will.

Or maybe this is out of context? "I don't think the FBI really need to be involved because they don't want to be involved. If they wanted to be, I would certainly do that, but as you know, they say this is not really their thing."

We count his lies but is someone counting his outright criminal abuses of the office? He disgusts me and perpetually makes me want to vomit.

Maybe he’ll come up with a reason that Hillary should be investigated for rape?

realDonaldTrump WHAT THE FBI PROBES IS NOT YOUR DECISION TO MAKE! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION & DOING THE PPL'S BUSINESS, BUT YOU DON'T! You side with Rapists, Pedophiles, Criminals, Fake Democrats & GOP over the American ppl? Here we go again, Wa Wa Wa.

lol of course he does, otherwise we’d have to investigate all the allegations made against Trump

Who's gonna stop me? If I wanna lay it down, I lay it down. It's a wreck anyway. In case you couldn't tell, I need the rest anyway. Ive carried this damn thing 50 years? You know What? Figure it out...here. let somebody who don't matter run it. Then you'll see worth ...

It's just another witch hunt!

Trump has a lot to hide and this could be another of them. Due dilligance is required!

Can’t you tell it like he said, is it necessary to lie? Then at end add “FBI doesn’t do that type of investigation”

....,because we expected a different response from realDonaldTrump?

FAKENEWS His quote.... “I don’t think the FBI really need to be involved because they don’t want to be involved. If they wanted to be, I would certainly do that, but as you know, they say this is not really their thing.”

No big surprise

FAKENEWS He relayed that the FBI is not interested in pursuing this type of case! It's not what they do!

So many uneducated comments.

Sure sign something must be amiss with this buffoon...

Of course he does after finding out the truth or having facts has never been a concern of his or his cult followers.

Is anyone surprised that realDonaldTrump doesn't care for the idea of investigations into alleged sexual assault?

but.... lets investigate hillary

Way to Go!

Why? What is that name again? Federal Bureau of WHAT? Oh, INVESTIGATION! Aha. So, actually that’s EXACTLY what they do.

Um no jurisdiction. Why let laws and facts get in the way of a good witch hunt.

Obvious. She should file a criminal complaint with a local police.

Of course he says that 🖕🖕🖕

The FBI said the same thing

He knows Kavanaugh is guilty.

WHY? DOESN'T ANYONE, INCLUDING KAVANAUGH, WANT ALL THE FACTS AND TRUTH OUT IN THE OPEN?

he says a lot of things, all of them stupid

The FBI already looked. The FBI said "Nothing there."

Why not?

FBI said do too

The refused to look into false claims

That means they should.

It is very pathetic to deny someone a lifetime opportunity because of someone's unproven allegations that has no witnesses

Really, wonder why?

No law enforcement agency of any kind in the entire world would investigate her claim. The burden of proof,specific& credible proof, is on HER. Never on the accused. And certainly not on the FBI. Absurd. She basically asks FBI to prove her case.

Why not?

Hey Reuters that is NOT what Trump said! He said they probably wouldn’t. That’s what he said, why? Not a federal crime

Why not?

Sure they should!

Boo

In case you missed it.....KAVANAUGH had Extensive FBI CHECKS......6 to be exact! No more I should needed so STOP with the rant

And this kind of fake news is why no one trusts what you say. This is grossly inaccurate!

Because they are 30 years old and of a “he said/she said” nature. Nothing would come of a FBI investigation

Why should they? any one with a brain can see it's a setup.

Why bc they might find out more stuff. Like where he got the money

statute of limitations

That’s because the FBI told him they are not probing the matter. Is everyone comfortable having Trump directing or ending FBI investigations? Lib’s heads exploded for Trump simply saying Flynn is a good guy to Comey.

Witch hunt, eh?

Unfortunately, That was an expected response from Trump

Because an investigation would certainly be unhelpful to Kavanaugh.

Investigation would be devastating if you are guilty. theTruthWontAlwaysSetYouFree

Of course Trump says FBI should not probe into the allegation against Kavanaugh. The FBI and DOJ should only be investigating Democrats, Trump’s enemies, and well, anybody who even criticizes Trump. How is that hard for anyone to understand? 🙄

LIAR REUTERS FBI said they have no intention to probe. FAKE HEADLINE

Because there is nothing to investigate and it’s just a political delaying tactic by the Dems. They have already said they are not investigating. They included whatever Ford said in the file.

Trump is committed to jamming Kavanaugh through for Supreme Court Justice covering up the details of Kavanaugh’s past.

That is not what he said.

Trump also supports child molesters, rapists, spousal abusers, sexual harassers, NAZIs, white supremacists, mobsters, traitors and criminals of all stripes. He is an amoral scumbag surrounded by amoral scumbags.

Trump also thinks FBI shouldn’t investigate him and his treasonous ways. I don’t think he should tell FBI what to investigate. The FBI isn’t his private security outfit.

Actually it is their job if the executive branch directs them to investigate claims upon a SCOTUS nominee. Trump doesn’t want to do it and they cannot without his direction. Next story please.

Oh, well in that case, fbi if you’re listening, please investigate these new allegations from Ms Ford!

Anyone who takes this sham seriously is naive. Or just politically blind.

Trump is the one to order the FBI to investigate, but he hasn't. So again the winkle old BASTARD is an asshole.

Why not ? Unbelievable.

Here’s the actual “since you obviously don’t give a damn “I don’t think the FBI really need to be involved because they don’t want to be involved. If they wanted to be, I would certainly do that, but as you know, they say this is not really their thing.”

It is not their job.

Clickbait tweet.. That's not what he said at all. 👇 "I don't think the FBI really need to be involved because they don't want to be involved. If they wanted to be, I would certainly do that, but as you know, they say this is not really their thing."

... oh but drag Obama to hell re: birth certificate, SMH🤦🏼‍♂️

Why? Because they are true?

Of course he does, it would be a "witch hunt". ISN'T EVERYTHING HE DOESN'T LIKE A WITCH HUNT?

Trump lies alot.

He'd been against the FBI probing any wrongdoing by him, his staff, his family, his cronies, and so-called-allies. Even though there'd been plenty wrongdoing (as evidenced by indicements and guilty pleas), No wonder he wouldn't want any truth to come out about Kavanaugh, either.

Lie of course

but background investigations is their job

Why would they! Kavanaugh will be confirmed! Next story?

“I don’t think the FBI really need to be involved because they don’t want to be involved. If they wanted to be, I would certainly do that, but as you know, they say this is not really their thing.”

Now post the complete quote from trump

He is correct. There’s nothing to investigate.

Of course not, because you wouldn't want the truth to come out. What a put up job! Does no man or woman in the GOP have a spine? Professor Ford has more patriotism in her little finger.

All the more reason!

Soooooo. They probably should?

what federal law was violated?

This is a lie.

Is he new to this planet on not realizing that the FBI job is to INVESTIGATE ?

Fake news. The FBI said that and Potus is repeating what fbi stated.

Why?

Does anyone have any integrity anymore. The Reuter’s headline is misleading. Read the story and trumps words. Doesn’t match the headline.

why because they may find something?

The FBI said NOPE! Why did she scrub her Facebook and Twitter accounts? What is she hiding? Hate!!!!

FBI should look into any damn thing you touch.

More interference? Wow... Or rather, not surprised at all.

Funny, telling them to not investigate to see if he really is an abuser. I wonder why he would not want that known? It really doesn't make any sense unless. Wait, could it be trump is afraid they might find evidence that ANOTHER of his picks is a crook?

nazi

They need to investigate that & more. The cause of $200+k in credit card debt (gambling?) & its magical disappearance. A trick we'd all like to enjoy. In the congressional inquiries, he avoided/evaded answering most questions. Does SLICK sound descriptive?

And why not? Afraid of what else they might uncover? Interesting that this came out after meetings with him the past two days!

Trump looks like a guilty man flailing for an alibi . It’s sad ... kind of embarrassing to watch. GOP Midterms2018

Of course not. Nobody else is quite as perfect as Kavanaugh is for DT. He's going to keep DT from going to jail, right? Investigate him, no matter what.

Wonder WHY ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Truth and facts he hates.

His moral compass is broken, we've known that all along.

a bit late, eh? statute of limitations?

I could have sworn they already looked at it and deemed it unworthy.

You LIAR! Its right there in your own article! They (FBI) don't want it..and he said if they did, he'd be for it! Geez, FakeNews ClickBait

We all know that realDonaldTrump doesn't have a problem with assaulting women. This is nothing to him.

If the 🍊💩 had a few more brain cells he’d be intelligent enough to plant in a pot and get watered regularly.

Yeah, he said the FBI shouldn't investigate because "that's not really their thing." ....what? The Federal Bureau of Investigations shouldn't Investigate a Federal nominee because it's not their thing Whose thing IS it?

Where. Are we as a nation with this man on the loose thankfully we are not a nation dedicated to trump ideology

What the actual fuck. "I don't think the FBI really need to be involved because they don't want to be involved. If they wanted to be, I would certainly do that, but as you know, they say this is not really their thing."

That’s not what he said. Lordy lolz. You people don’t even pretend to try anymore

FakeNews EnemyOfThePeople

Huh? Since when do you not want to use the FBI inappropriately?

Why shouldn't they?

Since when is investigating “not their thing” It’s right there in their name, Federal Bureau of INVESTIGATIONS 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

In other news, water is wet!

Bet Bill Cosby wishes you were president when he was getting found guilty for sexual abuses over 30 year ago. MoronInChief DoubleStandard

World War will suddenly fall due to a mistake, New York Times

If he is not transparent he should not be there he is just like Nixon and not a crook

Fake News again. He said they (FBI) said it was not "their thing" but all should be heard. "If they wanted to be, I would certainly do that, but as you know, they say this is not really their thing.”

That’s not what he said you effing m liars!

Surprise..

If Trump says the FBI should not investigate these allegations, then that means there is probably something there, and the FBI absolutely should investigate.

What he said...

we all have access to his quotes. A simple search would reveal that's NOT what he said. Why do you risk damaging your credibility for a few clicks? You want to end up a joke like CNN ? What's wrong with y'all? Is there like something in the air corrupting your brains?

Fake news

He is a criminal so of course he would say this.

Your story is full of crap, he actually stated the total opposite just today.

Hmm, funny, I thought the FBI was tasked with doing background checks, which this is.

If there’s nothing there , why not investigate to be sure

I’m confused. You mean the “law & order president” doesn’t want law & order?

Trump is a lying, cheating, scheming conman who managed to fool enough people into electing him President.

Yeah because he’s afraid they might find something.

tRump and probe in the same sentence. well played

And yet he's been whining about investigating Hillary for damn near four years now. Conservatives are a god damned joke and some of the most awful humans alive.

This is absolutely NOT true!
