Deborah Ramirez, a college classmate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh who has accused him of shoving his genitals in her face during a party, spoke to FBI investigators about the incident for “over two hours” on Saturday, her lawyer John Clune said Tuesday.
Ramirez and her lawyers provided the FBI agents “more than 20” witnesses who “may have corroborating information,” Clune wrote. But, he added, “we have great concern that the FBI is not conducting—or not being permitted to conduct—a serious investigation.”

Debbie Ramirez spoke to the FBI for over two hours this past Sunday. It was a detailed and productive interview, and the agents were clearly motivated to investigate the matter in any way they were permitted. Ms. Ramirez identified a number of witnesses, and, 1/

we are not aware of the FBI affirmatively reaching out to any of those witnesses. Though we appreciated the agents who responded on Sunday, we have great concern that the FBI is not conducting—or not being permitted to conduct—a serious investigation. 3/

There “they” go again, moving the goalposts. Talking to one witness should be enough. We can’t keep torturing privileged white men like this.
This was apparent as soon as Jeff Flake stumbled through his initial speech on Friday asking for an investigation. Everybody knew the WH is the puppet master of this sham and Jeff appeared scared of his own shadow (or more likely the shadows of the women in the halls) making it highly unlikely that he would really put his foot down and ask for the investigation this process deserves.
“Well, I don’t know Sen. Klobuchar, but what about YOU – how many times have YOU shoved YOUR genitals in somebody’s face at a party?!”
You are soooo funny!
Is there any reason Ramirez can not release the names herself? Perhaps to the offices of key senators such as Flake and the rest of the leaners fand then hold a news conference and tell the press that these names have been given to the Senators. If the names are not in the FBI report call the investigation a sham and vote no.
