What kind of investigation did the FBI conduct?

Kavanaugh clearly has been having hard time holding his alcohol and, therefore, I believe him when he says he does not remember what he had done while drunk.

But shouldn't this be a red flag?

The FBI apparently skated on the background or was given instructions to. There’s much more to this story.

I am going to ask my senator to look into this so-called investigation. What else have they missed in the past... I don't know how many years? Should have invested at least one tenth of what they did with Hillary emails.

His dumbass friend Mark Judge (a recovering alcoholic according to his own lawyer) wrote a goddamn BOOK about their drinking history, calling him "Bart O'Kavanaugh".

For fuck's sake maybe it's better that the FBI didn't get another crack at this. Five or six failures to miss what is coming out now is unbelievably incompetent.

I had some fake Facebook profile contend that Judge Kreepazoid had been vetted six times by the FBI. My response was that they must not have asked too many tough questions, then.

I think they were just going to pencil-whip this nomination through. But someone else had other plans . . .
