Lawyers for Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, wrote to the FBI Tuesday complaining that the bureau has not responded to their attempts to schedule an interview, nor their efforts to share witnesses and evidence related to her claims.

Citing a report that the FBI has “no plans” to interview Blasey Ford, her lawyers wrote: “It is inconceivable that the FBI could conduct a thorough investigation of Dr. Ford’s allegations without interviewing her, Judge Kavanaugh, or the witnesses we have identified in our letters to you.”

    Once again a chance for the leaners to step up and demand some accountability on the part do the FBI and the administration as well as McConnel who after all agreed to the delay while the FBI did an investigation. If Dr. Ford is not interviewed the leaners have a solid opening to vote no.

  2. Well, Mr. Grassley, we talked to your gardener about the accusations, also to Alex Jones. I think that’s a wrap! Confirm that crazy bastard!

    We can only hope that Donnie has managed to piss off the FBI enough that someone immediately leaks about the inadequacy of the background check.

    This is exactly what Flake said he was concerned about and would make sure didn’t happen. Is he going to pull a “surprised and concerned” Collins act after voting in favor of the nomination?
