If you thought the drama surrounding Brett Kavanaugh’s 2018 confirmation hearing was over, think again. The FBI is now being accused “faking” its background check of the gay-hating, beer-loving Supreme Court Justice.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is calling on newly-confirmed Attorney General Merrick Garland to help facilitate “proper oversight” by the Senate Judiciary Committee as it examines whether the FBI actually investigated the sexual assault claims made against Kavanaugh during his dramatic confirmation hearings.
Whitehouse just released the letter he sent to Garland implying that the FBI’s supposed investigation may have been “fake.”
“This was unique behavior in my experience,” the letter reads, “as the Bureau is usually amenable to information and evidence; but in this matter the shutters were closed, the drawbridge drawn up, and there was no point of entry by which members of the public or Congress could provide information to the FBI.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Among the concerns outlined in Whitehouse’s letter are allegations that witnesses who wanted to share information with the FBI couldn’t reach anyone to accept their testimony, perhaps because no one was actually assigned to collect and gather evidence.
On top of that, he claims the FBI created a bogus “tip line” and that senators weren’t given any information on how or whether new allegations were ever processed and evaluated.
“This ‘tip line’ appears to have operated more like a garbage chute, with everything that came down the chute consigned without review to the figurative dumpster.”
Now, Whitehouse wants answers about “how, why and at whose behest” the FBI conducted its “fake” investigation and whether any of the information collected in the “tip line” was even reviewed.
The FBI hasn’t issued any comment on the allegations, and it seems unlikely it will reopen an investigation into Kavanaugh, who ruled against LGBTQ equality last year. But the letter definitely puts pressure on Garland and the DOJ issue some sort of response.
This morning, Brett Kavanaugh was trending on Twitter. Here’s what people are saying…
Brett Kavanaugh just shit the bed.

Sen Whitehouse asked AG Garland to review whether the FBI background investigation into Brett Kavanaugh was “fake.” Good. They didn’t even interview all witnesses. So, of course it was fake.

If Brett Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted a woman in Benghazi maybe Republicans would have spent more than a week investigating it.

Based on today's news, I can only imagine the cry-face Brett Kavanaugh has right about now.

of course it's fake. it was done literally overnight, and deliberately avoided investigating new information from people who had information damaging to Kavanaugh. https://t.co/zQzDAqyzru

Good, let all of them know that even if there is something shady in their nomination, eventually the investigation will be done.
Mr. Stadnick
Sheldon Whitehouse Rocks!

Kavanaugh should be investigated, impeached, and removed. And then Biden should replace him with the most left-wing judge he can find in America. Or Barack Obama.

More hysterics to come from one of tRump’s many afterbirths. Kavanaugh is having express beer deliveries as we speak.

I thought I saw a Budweiser tanker truck at his house this week.

What a sorry excuse for a judge

Sen. Whitehouse just seems to be doing his job. I have no doubt the new Attorney General will do his. Let the chips fall where they may, but I can’t help but hope that they fall on Kavenaugh. Our current Supreme Court could be the worst ever.

He and his friend terrorized a nerdy girl in a way that’s affected her the rest of her life.
The way she described the circumstances made me doubt that they were going to rape her – they were laughing and teasing the others were right downstairs – but they obviously created that impression in her mind which is violence and reprehensible.
At his hearing he acted just like the spoiled elite prep school boy again.
You should not have been confirmed because of his temperament and he should be removed because of his temperament and because he lied

Don’t like Kavanaugh, I believe he did everything he is accuse of. Hate how McConnell pulled his crap to steal the seat. I just don’t see how this will result in anything except to distract us from battles we can win.
