NEW: FBI has not responded to requests from Christine Blasey Ford to do an interview. “We have not heard from the FBI, despite repeated efforts to speak with them,” her lawyer, Debra S. Katz, told me, when asked.

1. That Would Be A Huge Mistake

2. This is infuriating. Now, we can't trust the FBI, that's just super great.

Just like I said - this one week sham of an investigation is probably a bullshit facade.

I do not blame the Dems for being so exhilarated when the FBI probe was announced - they rushed to YES - but they should have at least said "Let's talk about parameters first"

9. It's not the FBI's faut, it's drumpf and his attorneys.

They gave the FBI explicit instructions to interview just 5 people, no more, no follow-ups, just Ramirez and 4 of Kavanaughs friends who were not on the list of people at the party. NO CONTACT WITH MARK JUDGE! As usual with drumpf, it's all sham and lies and Kavapuke will be installed by Russian Repug Rapists as his get out of jail card.

12. We got played again. But Dems would have had

To have a plan...that's why they needed to ask for a pause to regroup. They might have said we couldn't have any input... but that would have made them look bad.

Btw..did hear the term "initial" witness list. Through rose-colored glasses maybe you find some truth where you have BK nailed...then go to him?

13. We maybe have to hope the FBI hates trump

So much they will move heaven and Earth to find something

14. From what I'm hearing, that is absolutely not happening.

No interviews of Mark Judge, the only one actually present at the assault, no interviews of any of the guys at the party that night, just Ramirez and 4 other friends of Kav who have publicly supported him. It's no investigation, it's a rw white wash and total sham. I'm glad Dems are pushing back, but the fix is in and I doubt it will change. Hoping that happens, but drumpf is already lying about it and seems totally dug in. Where else can he find a no morals, no conscience, rw russian repug rapist who lies has much as him and hates workers/poor, women & minorities as much as him. No, he's the only traitor drumpf uncovered, so he's the one. PUtin told him so.

3. CNN is reporting that she and Kav are not on a wittness list they are going to interview.

Apparently the FBI doesn't really have free reign.

6. Good time for a good leak. Who EXACTLY is reining them in? Trump lies - Not me ! nt

Surely Rosenstein isn't a bad guy on this. Please tell me he hasn't caved.

[mobeau69]

8. I think Wray is the guy, not Rosenstein.

Just an extra chapter in the cover-up.

[JI7]

10. but Wray hasn't been a bad guy either.

4. Phillip Mudd, on CNN, was VERY leery about this deal - right after it was announced -

and he was the head of the FBI Branch.

He later that day, sounded more accepting - like "We Can Do It" attitude - the FBI can do anything. But, that was in a perfect world of truth - not the liar's hell we are in now.

I even heard someone say - oh, the FBI will be driving Dr Ford around various neighborhoods - trying to spur recollections. HA

5. Why?

[samnsara]

7. they have a week..

...maybe they save those interviews for last..

[Staph]

11. That is my thought.

The FBI has Dr. Ford's testimony from the hearing. They can spend the better part of the week interviewing others to check out her words, before asking her to clarify or expand on what she has said.

I'd love for them to figure out possible houses for the assault, and then ask her for a sketch of the house layout!
