Democratic Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse and Chris Coons have sent a letter to FBI Director Chris Wray asking the FBI to detail its handling of the investigation into sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, raising concerns that the department failed to follow up on leads.

1. Of COURSE they followed up the leads and then said:

"Holy fucking shit! We best better stop now while we have plausible deniability!!!"

3. Someone was told "Do you want to keep your job and get your retirement?

2. Good. Will it get anywhere?

You don't know how tired I am of living in a

4. Interesting that

they want documentation of the process and the evidence before the trail goes cold. Might be useful sometime.

12. Yes, for possible impeachment of Brett when we get control of the government back.

Let's face it, he lied to Congress. Should a sitting Supreme be guilty of lying to Congress and remain on the bench?

Having a documented history of the failures of the investigations into the fraud that is Brett will help down the road.

Now, they need to do the same thing for fraudster Thomas.

13. Should anyone sitting in an important office be a rapist?

???

14. Seems it's A OK by RepubliCON standards.

But not by normal people's standards.

16. yup, spot on

Rep. Schiff also made reference recently that he had prosecuted a case in Congress that removed a judge ... not sure which he referred to, but it was a noteworthy reminder of Congress' power

5. Whitehouse and Coons...certainly two of the best

15. I thought that Whitehouse should have run for president in 2016.

Even though no one knows him, he has instant name recognition. And he's a good solid dem & he's articulate & comes across well.

17. He works hard. Does RI proud.

6. Media pretty much fell in line with Republican BS and FBI coverup.

I don't have much trust in Wray.

7. The entire DOJ has been compromised. That's how dictators dictate.

8. Sending all my love and appreciation to Democratic Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse and Chris Coons

Thank you, sirs. You are reviving my trust in the process.

The FBI has had so many fuck-ups it can only mean that their perspective, their mission and their process is tainted. Time to revamp it and bring it into the 21st Century.

9. That's an impressive letter. I'm proud of the Democratic leadership for pursuing this.

I vividly remember during those hearings what a farce that additional FBI "background check" seemed to be.

I like the comment above about arranging "plausible deniability" by aborting a full procedure.

So much corruption. This is another taste of ancient Rome under Calligula.

Williamson was correct to use the phrase "dark psychic forces" in describing the Republican corruption culture (RCC?).

10. About time

Glad they're following up on this. They also need to follow up on gambling gambling/money issues too.
