The FBI Is Already Talking To Brett Kavanaugh’s Other Accusers


Republicans hoped that the scope of the FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh would be “limited,” but new reporting late Friday indicates that the bureau is already reaching out to the judge’s other accusers.

According to the LA Times, “The FBI moved immediately given the short time frame. By Friday night, agents had sought to schedule an interview with one of two other women who, after Blasey Ford went public, made accusations of their own about alleged assaults dating to Kavanaugh’s days in high school and at Yale University, according to two sources with knowledge of the investigation who asked to remain unidentified given the sensitivity of the matter.”

The report added, “FBI investigators contacted the attorneys for the woman and asked to interview her ‘as early as tonight,’ according to one of the sources. Her attorneys countered with a later time, but the interview could occur this weekend, the sources said.”

Brian Williams shared the news late Friday on MSNBC:

The investigation is moving at lightning speed

What all of this suggests is that, as PoliticusUSA‘s Jason Easley noted earlier on Friday, “Donald Trump and the Senate Republicans won’t be able to rig the reopening of Brett Kavanaugh’s background check.”

Instead, the FBI appears to be moving as quickly as it can to cover as many bases as possible. It’s no wonder the president, his GOP colleagues in Congress and Kavanaugh himself didn’t want this to happen.

It hasn’t even been 12 hours since Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake changed the course of this confirmation process, and the FBI is already digging in.

1. The FBI is doing its job...the ultimate revenge...and Trump and the boys know it.n/t

[Roy Rolling]

13. Another Reminder

After trashing the FBI for two years, they will do a thorough and credible job.

Another reminder why Trump hates the FBI, and why criminals hate the police.

Ha ha. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

[Blue_true]

47. It's reputation is at stake. The agents need to find out the truth.

My guess is some really bad shit Kavanaugh was involved in will be uncovered. He likely has lied incessantly his entire life, that will catch up to him.

[at140]

49. tRump has done a hit job on FBI already

I expect FBI report to come out bad for Kavanaugh, and then I expect more swinging of the axe. tRump is a vengeful creature.

2. This does not surprise me.

I knew fbi immediately would be working. No way would they wait til Monday. Remember they completed Thomas’ in 3 days. They will finish this in 7 and it will be thorough. This is their life. They eat, breath and love the job and no stone will be unturned.

[still_one]

3. No surprise if they are doing due dilligence since they don't have much time

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Investigate as much as you can about sex with these women in a week

Forget the $200,000 credit card debt
Unreleased documents

[blaze]

6. Oh, I'd still like to see those unreleased documents!! nt

[vlyons]

30. FBI mandate is limited to "credible allegations"

allegations is plural. That means allegations from several women. And I hope, allegations of his drunk drinking. He is toast. Once the FBI reports back, either Trump will tear up his ticket, or he will drop out. Plus, I fully expect that when the Dems take over the House (and maybe Senate) judiciary committee, there will be more investigation and an impeachment if he hasn't already resigned the DC court. Plus every DC District court case that he ruled on might be reopened for review. This debacle will be far reaching.

Just another incompetent butt show from the Trump gang that couldn't shoot straight.

[maddiemom]

41. AND previous history of perjury.

[Hekate]

44. The FBI has the manpower to assign multiple tasks. I do hope they get into the money. nt

[Auggie]

5. Thank you FBI

[pangaia]

7. I wish the FBI would/could check into other issues as well..

his financial dealings, lying at hearings, etc,
His obsession with the sexual details of Bill Clinton's affair with whomever.. , Vince foster, etc etc..
Plus, the guy has been groomed for this position for years....along with so many other pasty white pseudo-men.

Even without all his 'alleged' (LOL) abusive activity and drinking, just his infantile, behavior at that hearing should be enough to sink him..

[babylonsister]

11. I have heard

that if the fbi finds Kavanaugh has lied to them, all bets are off and they're free to investigate everything.

[7962]

21. Lying to the FBI would itself be enough to disqualify him. Its a federal crime.

Tough shit, Trump, move on to the next name.

[Pepsidog]

36. Just ask Martha Stewart about lying to FBI

[7962]

37. Exactly.

[Samspadesnark]

15. Did you know

He played a role in the, cough, Florida 'recount'? Meaning, he was in Florida with the rest of the repug gang ensuring that all Florida votes would not be counted, and that the 'election' would be thrown to George W. Bush. This is why he has been rewarded all along the way, and why Bush made phone calls in his behalf to the republican senators.

[irresistable]

31. Kavanaugh's wife is the reason.

[pangaia]

42. Oh, right. I read that also.

Pretty hard to remember all the back ally dumpsters this guy has crawled in.

[Fred Sanders]

8. Brave Ramirez was already gift wrapped for the FBI by Avenatti, Republicans forgot about that.

[olegramps]

9. I still have faith that the FBI will conduct an impartial investigation.

Their credibility has been attack by Trump and along with the entirety of the Republican Party. The Republicans have become the scum bags of civilization and they have to be totally destroyed. I for one don't give a damn what a Republican controlled Supreme court has to say about any case before it.

At best the Republican have been limited to obstruction. If they gain complete control it will nothing more than a political hammer that has as much respect for objective judgment as lynch mob.

I especially reserve this judgment for the Republicans that disgrace the court. Ever ruling they hand down is totally dictated to by the wishes of the corrupt Republicans and their privileged billionaires and their radical bible beating rabble. They long ago sold out and are the sole property of the most radical elements of our society. It imperative that they obey this pack of radicals or face the extinction of the Republican Party. They made their bed with the worst elements of society and now they have to sleep in it or perish.

It would be hilarious that their latest stooge had the audacity to charge that those opposing his nomination are politically motivated. His selection was from a list of candidates that have been chosen from Federalists Nitwits of America of their approved candidates who are committted to transforming our nation into a virtual theocracy. A sham democracy run by a authoritarian patsy of the billionaires. The totalitarian governments of Russia, China know that their determination to take down our democratic republic is now within grasp.


If the Democrats fail to prevail and are unable to stop this destruction of the nation that was founded on enlightenment principals, the future looks dim at best for the typical Joe and Jane Average citizen who will be reduced to helpless pawns of the state.

[Pinkflamingo]

17. I agree. I feel we've already seen enough to disqualify him. The bad news is, the FBI reports

to Shitler himself. Will we ever see the report? I worry Rump will want him on the court anyway.

[CabalPowered]

22. It was reported last night

That each Senator and some staffers will get a copy.

[Pinkflamingo]

28. Good! We can figure someone at the WH will leak it!

[slumcamper]

26. THIS.

We can expect about 2 hours to review findings.

[Pinkflamingo]

40. That's right, two hours to review.

I think it’s hysterical that Brett didn’t listen to Dr Ford’s testimony as he waited in the wings. If he had, he would have known his tactic needed to be revised. She gave a great explanation for the timeline refuted this was a democratic ploy. I guess Sen Graham wasn’t listening either.

[LiberalFighter]

48. Graham was boofing

[Pinkflamingo]

50. Hmmm, we need a booking emoji !!

[Fred Sanders]

46. How could Trump "bury the report"?? Just because of a technicality he has to order it?

[pawismom]

10. Avanatti

Avanatti was just on AM Joy and seemed to indicate that his client had not yet been contacted.

[Fred Sanders]

12. 6 more days...and they have her Affadavit...it is online!

[slumcamper]

25. And there will be 2 hours to review findings.

[onetexan]

35. i was watching and heard exactly that as well

[Cryptoad]

14. I guess the Trumpster has his scape goat if,,,,

the Judge's nomination jumps rail,,,,,, "Its all a FBI Hit Job"

[KY_EnviroGuy]

29. That's a valid point and I actually fear.....

Donny Rump will use that as an excuse to fire more people he feels are against him, thereby perhaps affecting Mr. Mueller's Russia investigation.

Not putting anything past this pack of miscreants....

[PatSeg]

16. I get the feeling

that there are some in the FBI who have just been waiting for this moment and were poised and ready to launch into the investigation.

[slumcamper]

24. And there will be 2 hours to review findings.

[7962]

18. Good Dont waste any time. nt

[pecosbob]

19. They are aware that Democrats will likely control the House next year

The Buttercup Squad in the NY office are already going to face some actual 'angry Democrats' soon. I really don't think anyone takes their job more seriously than the FBI.

[Ligyron]

20. Once Rossi and the Behavioral Analysis Unit get ahold of him - he's toast!

Those FBI Profilers know exactly what they're doing. Can't wait to see the episode of Criminal Minds that will be based on the take down of this frat boy sexual predator.

[slumcamper]

23. And there will be 2 hours to review findings.

[Fred Sanders]

45. There will be as much time as needed...kind of important.

[pdsimdars]

27. Well, we're all falling in love with the FBI again . . . . . they seem to be our only hope everywher

[Mc Mike]

32. Go, Feds!

Really odd to find myself saying it, I'm usually focused on Hoover and Cointelpro, pro-Peltier, etc.

This Supreme Court nominee background check stuff is what the Feds are for.

I do like when they go after wiseguys, white collar crime, far-right terrorists, and do counterintel vs enemy adversaries' agents, but their batting average on those issues has always been too low, for me.

[honest.abe]

33. This is hugh!!@

[calimary]

34. I'm glad they jumped right on this. They don't have much time.

[john657]

39. The Anita Hill investigation was done in 3 days,

and the FBI has many more tools today at it's disposal than during the Hill investigation, they'll get this done pretty thoroughly and quickly.

[DeeDeeNY]

38. Elizabeth Rasor?

If she is interviewed too, then Mark Judge won't be able to lie or have a memory lapse.

[Scurrilous]

43. K&R

[vi5]

51. I know this is probably not a popular opinion....

....but I think we should have played up the perjury angle just as much if not more than the sexual assault angle. Both are important, but I think the perjury/lying angle would have had a bit more sticking power. Although it seems that most of the public opinion was against Kavanaugh so not sure it would have done anything since Republicans don't listen to the people.
