andylassner Yes but the GOP doesn't want to know. They should see this just hurts them more. Trump was awful but this man seems to be also.

andylassner I should say women defending any of This is just pure nasty and wide open to get raped. You are making it ok for Trump and now his justice pick to rape women and never have to own it.

andylassner This man is as n nasty as Trump. Anyone defending Trump is nasty.

Wow..let’s waste man power and tax dollars on an alleged allegation from 36 years ago versus the crimes now that the FBI is needed but yet it nice to see what the priorities are...

Thank you

The accuser could testify....and be completed quickly.

Do it

Stupidity..... So does that mean I can demand that the FBI look into my assault from night school Didn’t think so.... the Republicans need to put a stop to this!! Outrageous!! The Democratic/Liberal Party are leading us straight to HELL!!

Is this the print version of CNN. Are you truly that dumb is the power void collapsed your heads.

somebody is lying

But most Americans can see right through this sexist inflammatory attempt to soil Kavanaugh's reputation and stop his confirmation! That blue wave TheDemocrats think is coming will be as red as the stripes in Old Glory!

Kavanaugh has gone through six thorough background checks. Maybe it’s time to investigate Ford

That’s the problem ‘ credibility ‘. Why is he not demanding that this be done.

Except sadly the FBI is not to be trusted as they are all for the majority all ex Obama past administration officials. I mean a few of them already have been fired for abusing their power. smh

andylassner Sounds good to me!

The decision is made as far as the Republicans are concerned. You could have a videotape. The GOP has invested a lot to groom Kavanaugh for this position. Remember, all his lifestyle’s heavy debt disappeared right before his nomination.

andylassner With the evidence readily available, anyone with half a brain knows this clown is dirty, guilty and complicit. We also know that the whole administration is corrupt and seemingly untouchable. Report THAT. Not this FBI claptrap feigning a working justice system. Don't be complicit

Cwedding1 SenatorCollins lisamurkowski The FBI is ready, willing and able to do an investigation on both parties for a fair representation of the claim against Kavanaugh. Lip service from Republicans speaks loudly to voters. Vote no on kavanaugh.

Creepo doesn’t want an FBI.

andylassner Unfortunately, only one party wants a FBI investigation and that speaks volumes 🤔🤔🤔 only one party has taken a polygraph and only one party has corroboration thru her therapist and husband from 2012. Makes you think eh😳

KevinGeoghegan4

Yeah right. Fuck that. Like the Mueller fiasco, this would go on for months. Vote already.

He has this thing where he brags in public speeches about how drunk he used to get. He's a federal judge. What's up with that?

andylassner Wouldn't this be enough to see the rest of the files they aren't releasing?

It's disgusting that the senate and wh refuse to have FBI investigate into both fords and kavanaughs credibility.....this is a farce, everything trump t ouches turns into CRAP...now he is turning the Supreme Court into crap!

He don't want to talk to the FBI because if he gets caught in a lie he can go to Jail.

Maybe Trump should consider the fact that if he doesn't order a FBI investigation, the only people who will be investigating will be the press! We all know how much Trump trusts the press and we all know the press is going to release what they find.

Let her go public as she wanted. Game is over.

This is a delay tactic and everyone in the Metoo movement should be pissed off at Democrats. The Democrats sat on this allegation for weeks and now want FBI to waste another couple of weeks to do a background check that won't accomplish anything. Ms. Ford's story is unraveling

Why is a potential Supreme Court Justice scared of testifying before the FBI? Is he lying?

I haven't seen the FBI do anything quickly and I am sure they would take their time just to hold everything up who are they going to get to run it Comey

👌 👌 👌

The point that both Ford & Kavanaugh should have creditability is important. Right now we have a n person who may become a Supreme Court Justice for life that is lacking credibility. And he is refusing to be questioned by the FBI. His accuser is willing to be questioned. WTF!

Hopefully it’s in motion.

I say since we"re going after kavanaugh over 30 yr aligations? We need a full FBI investigation on that rapeist and pedophile bill clinton? makes sense... billclintionisarapeist rogerstone infowarsarmy

FBI needs to stay out of the political arena

That’s not their job

Sure agents like Stroke, McCabe and Comey, B/S

Ok hmm FORMER FBI OFFICALS HA WHAT A JOKE.

Don't forget to investigate when he was chewing gum in the second grade. That has to be a Federal crime.

Excellent observation but won’t happen if the female involved is a no show It doesn’t just revolve around her 2 sides are involved NO FBI investigation

Kavanaugh is in Traitor Trump’s pocket 😡

Were there names, Strzok, McCabe, and Page ?

Former agents are former for a reason!

LT LORANCE IN THE LINE OF DUTY ON PATROL BECAME CHALLENGED BY SUICIDAL BOMB THREAT. MOTORCYCLE 3 RIDERS APPROACHED. DID NOT RESPOND TO WARNING SHOTS, CONTINUED AT HIM. LT LORANCE ORDERED DEFENCIVE FIRE AT THE ASSAILANT. LORANCE SERVES 20 YEARS. BLAME AMERICANS 1ST

The word here is “former”. The FBI said NO. ConfirmJudgeKavanaughNow

Haha. I doubt that would happen. Give it a rest already.

The three that just got fired

Or they could pursue criminals and fight the opioid epidemic?

delay is the Dem game

The two witnesses the so called victims named both said it didn’t happen we don’t need the fbi case closed.

I claim bullshit! With that kind of time lapse it would take a long tome.

Former, probably dem FBI agents. Sure glad former. That means they don’t matter.

You don't get it! Hearings are over. Background Investigation is over. Written questions being submitted is over. Vote!

former is an important factor

Yep all we have to do is look at the Mueller investigation. No collusion after a year and still going. The FBI is to the Dems as the Gestapo was Hitler

It's not the FBIs job. They need to be on Keith Ellison. Democrats have to stop applauding rape and assault on women by their own.

Yeah right!

not happening , so stop making stuff up. Its not a federal issue

there is no deadlock....no proof no witnesses

So the FBI could do a rush job on the invest & have something by Monday? Isn't that what Ford's lawyers are accusing the GOP of? The only 2 witnesses with any relevant info (the 3rd had denied knowledge) are Ford & Kavanaugh-Ford had been offered a closed session. No more delays.

look at all the gop fbi haters

She’s speaking to congress on Monday, right?

Spend, spend, spend. Money has no limit if taken from pockets of taxpayers. No more investigation. Vote!

Former FBI officials? Hmm, Comey, McCabe, Strzok Credible group.

I think my taxpayer money has already been used for enough garbage investigations

Is this the nonsense our FBI needs to be involved in? Once again this is pathetic abuse of our government agency.

Too little, too late.

Not true, it’s not a federal issue it’s a local law enforcement issue

With the information at hand there is nothing to investigate and these three Fomer Anonymous agents are idiots to think there is ,who are these three agents,this story smells strongly of more Fake News

Why does it matter He has had like 6 background checks. If it’s true she should have no reason to testify in her home under oath

FORMER

The accuser’s refusal to testify tells everyone all they need to know about her credibility

Tell them to read the constitution. It’s the Senate’s role, not theirs.

The FBI is afraid of Trump.

Donald Trump says no FBI investigation of Brett Kavanaugh is necessaryPresident Donald Trump said Tuesday he would continue to back Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and does not think an FBI investigation of allegations against him is necessary. Of course you are. Why investigate anything? Why have an FBI? Why have a justice department? yup, in public testimony and under oath. How much does anyone want to bet that dem stall and then withdrawal the claim while still pushing the narrative. Rape claims are serious, even if faked, damage is done and dems know it. Disgusting Even if true; there was no crime. He should be judged by his adulthood.

American Bar Association deals blow to Brett Kavanaugh, calls for FBI investigation and a confirmation delayIn a letter, the nonpartisan association made up of lawyers and law students said that a vote should occur only “after an appropriate background check into the allegations” that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford is conducted by the FBI. He looks sick according to my standards. And yet Chuckgrassley drove a semi over the letter!
