White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah tweeted Wednesday night, upon receipt of the FBI’s report on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, that senators have “ample time” to review the materials.
Sources also told the Wall Street Journal Thursday morning that the White House had found no “corroboration” of the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh in the report.
Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) confirmed in the early hours of Thursday morning that he had received the report and that senators would take turns reviewing its contents.
As of now, it appears that only senators and some of their staffers will get to read the report.

OF course they have ample time… this sham of a report can probably be read in under 5 minutes… I am guessing that part of this is that the FBI’s hands were tied… but I am also in no way thinking the FBI can be absolved of allowing this sham to go on. Wray better not serve a full 10 years… he must go.
Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell will be remembered in US History for debasing the transparency and dignity of US Senate process to the level of some corrupt local county fixed vote in Kentucky. Or New York.
No problem bro. This is the official Dotard version with pictures, not more than three bullet points, and a Waffle House help Mr. Turtle get home maze puzzle.
Make sure you give Kavanaugh one of these when you rubber stamp his appointment .
He should be required to use it every time he sits down at the bench
The WH took out all the nasty bits .
