Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced Thursday morning that after receiving a briefing from his committee staff on the contents of the new background investigation into Judge Brett Kavanaugh, he plans to vote in favor of confirming Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Grassley said that the investigation into sexual assault allegation against Kavanaugh, which the FBI sent to the Senate early Thursday, did not uncover anything “we didn’t already know.”

  1. Wow! Sham chair who conducted a sham hearing touts a sham FBI report. I’m shocked.

  2. We asked them to not find anything new and they did their job. Now lets vote this lying rapist into office so he can protect our other lying rapist.

  3. Senator Coons was pwned by Senator Flake.

  4. I said that last week. We’ll see if they have the votes. The sham investigation only serves to light a slow burn under Democrats.

  5. So they found nothing new? Nothing to repudiate her statement? Nothing to prove he wasn’t a privileged, entitled, hard-drinking douche-bro who bragged about his female conquests (real or imagined – consensual or non) in his yearbook?

    Great! SCOTUS material ALL the way.
