White House limits scope FBIs investigation allegations against Brett Kavanaugh

Aside from guzzling a narrative, why does the FBI need to redo the Committee's work? Are we assuming Ford omitted facts or lied during her testimony? Ford had no useful information to offer during the Committee hearing. Is she suddenly going to remember everything?

You aren't normally this accepting of narratives.

Yup.....you’re as dumb as you put on here lol
 
They are investigating her claims. In order to perform an investigation, they need to discuss the events (or lack thereof) with both parties, not rely on a transcript from Thursday.

Let's say they talk to Leland, PJ, Mark Judge and Squee, and something pertinent comes up. Shouldn't they then approach Ford and Kav and see if they have anything to add along those lines?
That's addressed in the scope. If something comes up, they'll talk to the pertinent people. You're apparently reading a tweet and concluding that that's all the information available.

Again, this is part of a background. The Committee interviewed Ford. The FBI is interviewing the people the Committee did not interview. Not rocket science.
 
The FBI needs to do its own investigation which is what the FBI does. Everyone involved needs to tell their stories to the FBI under threat of Felony.
Ford testified to the Committee under threat of "Felony." Does she need more threat of "Felony?" Why does the FBI need to redo what the Committee has already done? It was all on TV for anyone to watch.

Ask other questions (gasp)

I know you aren't very bright, but if you would keep in mind that this additional investigation is simply an addition to the original FBI background check, you wouldn't look like a complete retard. It is not a standalone investigation. It's not starting from scratch. And none of that is the least bit difficult to grasp, even for you.

WASHINGTON — The White House is limiting the scope of the FBI’s investigation into the sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, multiple people briefed on the matter told NBC News.

While the FBI will examine the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, the bureau has not been permitted to investigate the claims of Julie Swetnick, who has accused Kavanaugh of engaging in sexual misconduct at parties while he was a student at Georgetown Preparatory School in the 1980s, those people familiar with the investigation told NBC News. A White House official confirmed that Swetnick's claims will not be pursued as part of the reopened background investigation into Kavanaugh.



An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment, referring questions to the White House.


A White House official did not specifically dispute limitations on the scope of the FBI's investigation but denied the White House was “micromanaging” the inquiry.

White House spokesman Raj Shah said that "the scope and duration has been set by the Senate. The White House is letting the FBI agents do what they are trained to do.”

The Senate has only said that supplemental FBI background investigation “be limited to current credible allegations against the nominee and must be completed no later than one week from today.”

ANALYSISAnalysis: Kavanaugh fight shows Washington is sick. Very sick.

White House counsel Don McGahn, who has shepherded Kavanaugh's nomination since president Trump chose him for the high court on July 9, is taking the lead for the White House in dealing with the FBI on the investigation, those involved in the process told NBC News.


A U.S. official briefed on the matter said its not unusual for the White House to set the parameters of an FBI background check for a presidential nominee. The FBI had no choice but to agree to these terms, the sources told NBC News, because it is conducting the background investigation on behalf of the White House.

If the FBI learns of others who can corroborate what the existing witnesses are saying, it is not clear whether agents will be able to contact them under the terms laid out by the White House, the two sources briefed on the matter said.

Some areas are off limits, the sources said.
TRUMP WEIGHS INUnder pressure, Trump orders FBI to investigate Kavanaugh amid sex misconduct allegations
Investigators plan to meet with Mark Judge, a high school classmate and friend of Kavanaugh's whom Ford named as a witness and participant to her alleged assault.


But as of now, the FBI cannot ask the supermarket that employed Judge for records verifying when he was employed there, one of the sources was told. Ford said in congressional testimony Thursday that those records would help her narrow the time frame of the alleged incident which she recalls happening some time in the summer of 1982 in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Two sources familiar with the investigation said the FBI will also not be able to examine why Kavanaugh’s account of his drinking at Yale University differs from those of some former classmates, who have said he was known as a heavy drinker. Those details may be pertinent to investigating claims from Ramirez who described an alleged incident of sexual misconduct she said occurred while Kavanaugh was inebriated. Ramirez's lawyer said Saturday that she had been contacted by the FBI and would cooperate.

The conditions under which the FBI's reopened background check are occurring appears to differ from the one envisioned by Flake, who used his leverage as a swing vote to pressure the Trump administration to order the FBI investigation.

Flake said Friday he thought the FBI should decide the scope of the investigation.


“They’ll have to decide — the FBI you know, how far that goes,” he told reporters. “This is limited in time and scope and I think that it's appropriate when it's a lifetime appointment and allegations this serious and we ought to let people know that we're serious about it.”

Can't wait to see you guys spin this after you get what you want and Big Dick Don still shoves it in and breaks it off.

Will especially enjoy seeing Ford (aka Garth) perp walked for lying to congress AND the FBI. Maybe then she can actually cry instead of fake it.
 
Yup mostly.....sooooo...do you think the Republicans did right in that situation???

Really? You sure come off like a massive jerk, but I'm new here so I'll give you exactly twice the benefit of the doubt that you've given Kavenaugh - which still ain't much.


aaaaannnnnd republicans usually suck, but they are finally beginning to reflect the boss's art of war strategies and whooo boy did your "team" fall into the trap on this FBI thing. Let me summarize...

Kavenaugh Confirmation

Lying to the FBI = charges filed for Dem operatives

Leaking Ford's letter = investigation. Did you see Trump's grin when he called for that? Almost like he knew that treating Ford with more respect than she deserves and then letting the dems hang themselves while America watched was the winning strategy.

Red Wave <- why?

Because the middle is sick of seeing this bullshit, and this last little act gave it several more days to soak in while the little D's should be out campaigning instead of faking their crocadile tears for that poor dumb fool they convinced to lie to congress last week.

scoff, lol, etc. This was a hail mary pass that just got pick sixed by this guy.

"The only official description of parameters has come from Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), who said Friday that the FBI investigation would be no more than a week long and would be limited solely to “current credible allegations” against Kavanaugh."

"White House spokesman Raj Shah said Sunday that Democrats are “merely attempting to further delay and politicize” the investigation. And Trump, in a shift in tone from the night before, tweeted Sunday afternoon that Democrats are “are starting to put out the word that the ‘time’ and ‘scope’ of FBI looking into Judge Kavanaugh and witnesses is not enough. Hello! For them, it will never be enough — stay tuned and watch!”"


^^^He's correct about that^^^
 
Is she up for a job on the SCOTUS?


I believe her. I don't think she was lying or embellishing.

It is possible that it wasn't him but she is certain that it was.

It is possible that it didn't happen exactly the way she described, but that is the way she remembers it happening.

Memory is fallible. There is a girl that I grew up with named Amy. We did not go to the same school, but were in the same class together at Synogogue. Our Hebrew school class was only about 20 people, and we were both in that group for over 12 years. For some reason, I have no memory of her face or interacting with her (I look at her pics on FB, and she does not even look familiar). I do remember her name, and that she was in my class, but that is it. We have mutual friends, who insist that she and I were friends and clearly remember regular interaction between the two of us. Yet, for some reason, I have no memories of her at all. I don't know why that is.

It is possible that it never happened but that she is working for the Dems to try to derail Kav, but I think this is extremely, extremely unlikely.


She obviously roofied you and made you diddle he skittle.
