Al Franken: LAT DC Bureau Chief Jackie Calmes did the investigation on Kavanaugh the FBI should have

LAT DC Bureau Chief Jackie Calmes did the investigation on Brett Kavanaugh the FBI should have done



The FBI sent the tips from the Kavanaugh Tip Line to White House Counsel Don McGahn, who tossed them in the waste basket. Calmes tracked them down. Not pretty! 10/10/2021.

blow the whistle on him. There might be something of a code of silence for bartenders where he "watered", but no way everyone he's pissed off stay quiet. I never believed for a second they didn't get a bunch of hits. I knew it was just blown off.
