Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said Wednesday that last week’s hearing was “no substitute” for FBI interviews with Christine Blasey Ford and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

“The White House confirmation that it will not allow the FBI to interview Dr. Blasey Ford, Judge Kavanaugh or witnesses identified by Deborah Ramirez raises serious concerns that this is not a credible investigation and begs the question: What other restrictions has the White House placed on the FBI?
“Last week’s hearing is no substitute for FBI interviews, especially when you consider the tenor of Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony. When he wasn’t yelling and demeaning senators, he was making misleading statements that cast doubt on his overall trustworthiness. I don’t think that would happen with FBI agents seated across the table.
“We have asked repeatedly for the White House to provide us with the scope of the investigation and what restrictions they placed on the FBI. The White House continues to refuse to answer. It’s completely unacceptable to hide this information from the Senate and the public.”
Where is Graham to tell the little lady not to trouble herself with men-talk?

I’m glad she’s making this point. Wish it had been made earlier; there’s less time for it to impact the news and get in front of people.
Pretty damn obvious, but might as well get it on the record…
More obstruction of justice, so what else is new?
If the FBI report exonerates, or even mostly upholds, the "Kavanaugh gallup’, the pubbies would leak it immediately. This tells me that the results are at the very least ambivalent and perhaps condemning.

Will Flake do the right thing and oppose the nomination until the FBI does a credible investigation including the list of twenty names given to them by Rameriz?
