for an interview tonight, but her lawyer said it can't be done that quickly and maybe it can be arranged in a day or so, I believe.

They definitely jumped right on it the very same day.

They are also trying to contact another one of the women.

Very interesting.

I can't imagine the office party they'll hold if they can knock this asshole down a peg or two.

Special Agents of the FBI are pretty straight laced, as is evidenced by them actively recruiting Mormons for their positions. Can you imagine some squeaky clean Mormon having to investigate Kavahaugh's drunken, sex crazed past? Even worse, being thrown into the cesspool of Donald Trump's disgusting sexual peccadilloes. I think the Special Agents will conduct themselves in a professional manner, and are probably under direct orders from above to keep their opinions to themselves. That's all the FBI would need, the pumpkin colored crazy one going nuclear-tweet over something he heard about Special Agents dissing his Supreme Court baby.

Finding a smoking gun concerning Kavanaugh or Trump, especially if it's a woman Special Agent, would definitely put a little lift in their step.
