So you don't talk to the guy? But the FBI talks to me - who knew nothing - about a neighbors kid who wanted to become an agent.

You should surely roll your eyes. It's not up to you or the media to vet his roommate - that's what the FBI does!

So the Democrats are back to hating the FBI? Hard to keep track.

Well they did the expanded background investigation per the agreement with the Democrats. But I'm sure the Democrats will continue to act like they never agreed to this. Par for the course for Democrats.

There's a good chance that the American people will NOT be able to see the FBI report, and also a good chance that we won't even know WHO reviewed the report.

So, you really think all 100 will not see it?


And difi does not want it released either:

"I think the investigation ought to be closely held," she reiterated. When asked how the American people will have confidence in the probe if its results are not made public, Feinstein said, "Well, let's see. ... I can't say, because I don't know what the investigation will say."

I think the point is that the FBI investigation was a sham.

He's already a lifetime Judge appointee to the federal courts and he's been trying cases for 12 years.

In other words, there's some double talk going on (big surprise, politics!). This FBI investigation is likely a sham investigation designed simply to give cover to Republican Senators to vote "yes" and Democratic Senators to vote "no." Really, par for the course.

You know, I get that that hearing last Thursday with Dr. Ford and Kavanaugh wouldn't have even happened if Ford had not shown up. And in turn, Kavanaugh would not have had the opportunity to perjure himself. Yet it looks like he did. But it seems like Senators are being told to put blinders on as if they were a jury in a criminal case. Only take into account what this report says and absolutely nothing else.

That's fine and all... if it was a criminal case.

In any other circumstance, I think we'd see this investigation continue into his statements made at the hearing and their veracity. But we won't. We'll all just have to move on from this I suppose.

I think the Russia Investigation thread is looking lonely. I suppose it'll be time to go back there.
Very little established honesty to had anywhere in this matter. Sure, maybe the last FBI go-around was a sham investigation but then I just clicked on a news item that said Ford is now willing to turn over all her therapy notes to the FBI.

So is that a matter of her not now being heard (sham investigation) or what she should have done in the beginning (fully support to the best of her ability any accusation that she brings forward)?

Plenty to criticize both ways. And so we do ...

I'm sure the FBI would have been happy to do a thorough and complete investigation. But they were ordered not to do that. The Left does not hate the FBI for following White House orders.
