The FBI declined to investigate this, and sent it to the whitehouse correct?

So why is this lady saying she won't testify until the FBI investigates this?

I mean, i hate to point out the obvious here but..... Do you think Democrats are trying to use this as a stall tactic? I mean Fiensteiner receiver this letter roughly 8 weeks ago and thought it of little importance until the days prior to confirmation vote.

Bad politics are bad. Desperation is thick in the air.

having to move and death threats and getting mocked online by thousands and thousands of people from rands to people in power and with a far reaching voice although it's entirely possible she is telling the truth isn't enough?




Maybe she should have thought of that before she let her democratic blood get all riled up. ^^

And no it's not enough. She didn't have to wait till the last minute, she didn't have to do it at all. Hell, way back in July the Dems probably contacted her. She probably popped up on their comps as a donor, multiple times, AND some one from an all girls school only 7 miles away from Kavanaugh's all boy school. Quick little cross reference and poof we have someone who COULD credibly accuse Kavanaugh.

Quote
President Donald Trump’s administration reportedly has not asked the FBI to vet accusations that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted a girl while in high school.

Two sources told Bloomberg News on Monday that the White House has not given a green light for the FBI to investigate Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations that Kavanaugh groped and assaulted her. The sources said that the FBI can not move forward with an investigation without the permission of the White House.

You never like hypotheticals and "ifs" until it's to smear potential sexual assault victims and unarmed black men killed by white people

Don't think so. I don't think anyone really wants Kavanaugh charged outside of the statute of limitations.

I will say this though, According to both PBS and VICE, it is NOT out of the ordinary for the FBI to investigate (kind of like an extreme form of vetting) things like this possible Kavanaugh sexual assault case, even when outside of the statue of limitations; a former FBI agent was on VICE news last night and said they would go back to peoples' high school days in vetting important candidates, a way of establishing a patterns of behavior. So the FBI absolutely could do an investigation here if Trump ordered it.


yes they can, and yes they have. but they also generally investigate whether there is a pattern of behavior in regards to the job's duties. Like if someone is going to head up the DEA and has a past history with drugs. If they found a "pattern of history" that Kav was a bro in high school and was callous towards a few young women it wouldnt really effect his job readiness for USSC cases. Run of the mill sexual assault isn't really a supreme court matter. We could make the argument that Kav is besmirching the office, but we have potus trump. so that doesnt hold much water.

overall though, it's tosh. no one should have ever expected the trump FBI to investigate this, and even if they could there isn't yet nearly enough info to justify the investigation that no one should expect, even if there was more info. the media is just creating headlines with this one, its fake news.

yes they can, just stop saying legal things. you're always wrong and you muddy up the waters with your incorrect bullshit.

stick with the "FBI shouldn't investigate ambiguous hearsay" narrative, that one's correct, legally.
