The Trump regime is trying to thwart the FBI investigation into the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh by restricting who the FBI is allowed to interview.
Just hours before President Trump authorized the new inquiry, the FBI had reached out to Deborah Ramirez, the second woman to come forward with recollections of alleged sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh.
But on Saturday afternoon, NBC News reported that the White House was limiting the scope of the probe to cover only Ford and Ramirez — not Julie Swetnick, the third woman to come forward with allegations of misconduct against Kavanaugh. “Instead of investigating Swetnick’s claims,” according to NBC, “the White House counsel’s office has given the FBI a list of witnesses they are permitted to interview, according to several people who discussed the parameters on the condition of anonymity.” NBC also reported that certain other areas of investigation would also be off limits. For instance, the agency cannot request employment records from a supermarket where key witness Mark Judge worked, which might help corroborate Ford’s account of running into him after her alleged assault. And it cannot look into discrepancies between Kavanaugh’s account of only drinking moderately in college and that of at least one classmate, who has said he was lying.
Trump may have issued what looks like an FBI investigation but this investigation, like the one conducted by Grassley's staff is a sham that is designed as a cover up.
With this it is clear that at least some of the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh are true, that the Republicans in the Senate know that they are true and that the Trump regime knows it they are true and they are covering them up. They know Brett Kavanaugh has a history of alcohol fueled assault on women and most likely those assaults sometimes succeeded in becoming rape.
I don't know if Julie Swetnick, Michael Avenatti's client, and her corroborating witnesses will now take it to the press. I'd notify the FBI they have exactly six hours to include them in the interviews or I'd go full public with what they can bring to this. If I were someone intentionally left off of the witness list I'd immediately get into contact with the Senate Democrats and Christine Blasey Ford's lawyers.
The Republicans posing on the fence, Collins Murkowski, Flake, and the two Democrats, too, shouldn't be allowed to get away with hiding a yes vote for Kavanaugh behind a sham investigation remote controlled by the Trump regime. If they will is something we will know in a week. But Kavanaugh doesn't get to just have it end there. He apparently is having this one rigged for him in the kind of privilege he's accustomed to getting. It was his rage at not having it totally rigged for him that was on display last Thursday. Time should be up on that, too.
