FBI refuses to investigate secret letter allegations about Kavanaugh forwarded by Democratic Senator

nuff said.

We'll decide Kavanaugh's judicial fate, if the FBI is too cowardly to step up.

She can't just let this go and this guy, this perjurer, gets on the court.

.

The reddit and 4chan trolls will be out in force today.

.

Scumborough had a right go at Democrats this morning, over this, (which was laughable).

.

Like with Anita Hill's information, people can't make claims that will be honored, unless there is due process.

It's like people who call CPS, thinking they are anonymous. They aren't, and when a case goes to trial, their names are revealed. CPS just says it's anonymous to get people to call their offices. But, like any charge or complaint, the names are taken for future use.

Woodward's book is full of astonishing examples that he truly has no idea what it is to know something.

He has his favorite ideas and literally can't learn they're wrong from others because he can't understand that anyone would know something he doesn't. Facts that contradict what he wants to believe prove themselves wrong thereby. A closed system.

For instance, he knows that if we have a deficit we can just print more money and make it go away.
Proof positive those those pols who haven't managed to figure that out are really stupid. And of course of his very superior brain.

about this like Harris, Leahy and Booker grilled him?

Why sit on it and then after the hearing is over then divulge it?

Just shaking my head.

God! We have to use what we have to stop these crooked, cheating repugs from ramming their crappy nominees unto the court. Stop with the being cautious nice person who doesn't want to ruffle feathers.

gave it to DiFi as below (I saw one article say she gave it in July).

The information came from a letter forwarded to her from the office of Representative Anna Eshoo (D-CA); the letter’s author was allegedly the subject of Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual misconduct, according to one of NYT‘s anonymous sources. Feinstein received the letter from Eshoo’s office sometime this summer, but did not inform the Judiciary Committee about its contents until September 12. She did not share the letter itself. Several Democrats apparently urged her to take it to the FBI, while others wanted her to take it public, according to NYT.

Two teenage boys locked a girl in a room at a party but she was able to get out?

And 35 years later a senator decides that the FBI needs to know about it?

the rest of the Sen. Judiciary Committee hasn't?

That doesn't make any sense.

To me, it just doesn't make any sense that he would see it, but the rest of the Sen. Judiciary hasn't.

Hopefully he wasn't punked.

The Guardian is saying something different which doesn't involve any sexual assault.

Hopefully we'll learn more in the coming days.

Because none of what I’ve seen presented is or was a Federal crime.

For the FBI to investigate they would have to have jurisdiction, that requires a violation of Federal law within the statute of limitations.

So the only time they could investigate is a very narrow window during the background check process for a nominee, which isn’t like a security clearance type check that is ongoing. Instead it’s a one-time check where they look and make a report to the White House and that’s it. Once it’s done it’s done, it’s like a one-time research project.

Allegations of sexual misconduct between high school students are the jurisdiction of state and local law enforcement. The FBI can’t conduct a criminal investigation into them even if they wanted. At the most had they found this earlier they would have interviewed the victim, put it in the report, and maybe made a referral to local LE if they felt there was a crime.

.

They do comprehensive background checks on SCOTUS nominees.

.

Or maybe... just maybe... she should have asked relevant questions at the hearing.

The only time they could is during the course of that investigation, and that is a one time report and not an ongoing process. They do the report and it’s done, they don’t revisit it.

This was evindly known by some people for some time, but not handed to the FBI until after the report was finalized.

From the information in this article and on CNN, the senator had this letter available since July and did not send it until now. I am sure she was very well aware of the timeline for the background check.

Also, according to CNN, the letter was forwarded with all names redacted except for Mr. Kavanaugh. There is not a whole lot they can investigate without any names of people to question.

She's still in an open primary running against the current president pro tem of the state senate

He'll probably get my vote.

because they weren't related to Hillary's e mails!

there's a lot more to this than an embarrassing wild goose chase.

An incident in high school that the FBI has deemed not serious enough to even investigate.

I would think the potential for blackmail would justify an investigation as part of a security investigation.
