Frank Figliuzzi, MSNBC pundit, former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence at the FBI...

"The white house is not speaking the truth when it says that the FBI has been given free reign..."

"We have a game going on, the president is telling the public one thing and handing the FBI an entirely different thing"

No link.....just said on MSNBC

1. We already know Kavanaugh lied

He lied in a job interview. He should be disqualified based on that. Kavanaugh = lied, lies, lying, liar

[TheBlackAdder]

2. Perjured. Not lied.

[Chiquitita]

3. perjure - to tell an untruth under oath

per·jure
ˈpərjər/Submit
verbLAW
willfully tell an untruth when giving evidence to a court; commit perjury.
synonyms:lie under oath, lie, commit perjury, give false evidence/testimony;

[TheBlackAdder]

5. Yep. Using the word "lie," discounts the fact that Kavanaugh performed a crime while under oath.

.

Yes, it is lying. But lying while sworn under oath. It's not just a lie, but a criminal offense.

Words and their contexts do matter. Kavanaugh perjures repeatedly.

.

[Scruffy1]

17. The oath makes no difference.

In the Us code lying to Congress is a crime whether your under oath or not. I know the public will never get this because politicians like to confuse the issue.

4. Here we go (again)

So, either Trump is lying (again) or he doesn’t know what he is talking about (again). It’s so hard to decide (again). NEITHER IS ACCEPTABLE!

[spanone]

6. I'll go with TRUMP IS LYING. It's a pretty safe bet.

[irresistable]

7. it isn't hard to decide.

[MoonRiver]

8. I've been hearing him say this all morning.

MJ tried to trip him up, but instead sounded like an ignoramus. Figliuzzi has contacts inside the FBI and KNOWS what he's talking about.

[JudyM]

9. Rethugs have learned there are no consequences for outright lying. This must somehow change.

They keep pushing the bounds of acceptable play.
Our election infrastructure is going to have to be re-secured and Faux news is going to have to be somehow constrained in order for us to maintain our democracy. Otherwise it will be completely out of our hands.

[jmbar2]

14. THIS!

This is a coup d'etat. The lies, assaults, hypocrisy don't matter - they don't care. We don't know how to respond yet.

[calimary]

20. And it'll keep happening as long as they know there'll be no consequences.

Only once did these bastards ever have to swallow that bitter pill: Nixon. And they’ve been bitter, resentful, aggrieved, and hellbent on settling scores ever since.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. consequences of 'put it behind us'

A.k.a., reaching across the aisle, off the table, working together.

"I will not 'work together' to ..."

25. Yes, DAMMIT!

[Maraya1969]

10. What entity could file charges against K for lying to congress last week? Who enforces

that law?

[ewagner]

13. Best point yet...

Can a Senator on the Judiciary Committee file a complaint with the FBI that Kavanaugh PERJURED HIMSELF before the Committee...the stolen memos is enough by itself!

[Mr.Bill]

21. I would bet that any accusations coming from a Senate

committee would need the approval of the committee as a whole. Which means right now it's not going to happen, and yet one more reason to GOTV.

[dawnie51]

11. Dump thinks we can't see him.....

behind the curtain, pulling the levers. And for the brain dead Dumpers, they take his shit as gospel. But 75 per cent of the country SEES. And the rethugs know that they see. And they are know what's coming for them in November.

12. Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick to be excluded from FBI investigation

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/30/fbi-investigation-brett-kavanaugh-julie-swetnick-kellyanne-conway

The FBI will not interview Julie Swetnick, the third woman to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, according to multiple reports and the Republican senator Lindsey Graham, highlighting the narrow scope of the agency’s supplemental investigation into Donald Trump’s supreme court nominee.

After NBC News and the other outlets said Swetnick would not be questioned, the White House, which has stood by Kavanaugh through the fallout from an explosive Senate hearing on Thursday, denied it was limiting the investigation.

On Saturday Donald Trump said on Twitter he wanted the FBI “to interview whoever they deem appropriate, at their discretion”

[spanone]

15. trump is lying....imagine that?

[pdsimdars]

16. Come, you mean . . . . . at least you're implying that . .. . . TRUMP would LIE???? OMG!

(it's called sarcasm)

[RVN VET71]

18. Lying? Sociopathic-narcissists don't lie.

They tell the truths, and if one of the truths seems to contradict the other, it's because the audiences are different, not be cause they are trying to lie.

It's so easy to do if you have no conscience and truly love yourself more than any living creature, including your daughter.

To the public at-large: "I want the FBI investigation to move freely in whatever direction required to get at the truth. No limits, not from me. No siree bob!"

To the FBI: "You have a week, no more, to interview only people connected to Doctor Ford's rather dubious accusations. I'm not limiting questions you might ask concerning that alleged event, but do not ask questions of alcoholic blackouts and other sexual indiscretions. Don't talk to anyone from Yale, especially. And if you can't locate Mike Judge quickly, well, forget him."

See? Truths!

[Eliot Rosewater]

22. not enough buses in the world to cover the people he would throw under them STARTING with

his own family if necessary.

But some of us knew this THIRTY years ago...lots of us did.

Bottom line, the most qualified human being to ever run for the office of President (surely one of the top 3 of all time if not #1) lost to the single most unqualified piece of human shit ever born.

Why?

Easy.

One was a STRONG WOMAN, the other was something similar in appearance to a "man"

[Zackr]

19. Bureau of Fake Investigatios

On a few occasions since Trump’s election I have imagined protesting at the New York FBI office with a sign saying, “Is it still ‘Trumpland’ in there?”

Now I think the other side of my sign would say “Bureau of Fake Investigations”

[Amaryllis]

23. Which show was it on? WHat do we search for?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

26. "The WH is not speaking the truth..."

The WH LIED, dumbass. Call it what it is.

The dog wasn't "put to sleep," she was killed. Grandma didn't "go to a better place," she died. Santa Claus doesn't exist -- wait, I need to reconsider that last one.
