about this like Harris, Leahy and Booker grilled him?

Why sit on it and then after the hearing is over then divulge it?

Just shaking my head.

God! We have to use what we have to stop these crooked, cheating repugs from ramming their crappy nominees unto the court. Stop with the being cautious nice person who doesn't want to ruffle feathers.

I thought she just received the info. jalan48 Sep 2018 #8

On top of that, others convinced her to forward it to the FBI, even though its author wanted privacy TheBlackAdder Sep 2018 #13

Per CNN she has had it since July mythology Sep 2018 #16

Honestly, under most times the FBI couldn't investigate Lee-Lee Sep 2018 #14

Not true. It's their job to do background check. The crime would be state level, but FBI does check. TheBlackAdder Sep 2018 #21

Then perhaps DiFi should have provided it during the investigation FBaggins Sep 2018 #25
