By Caroline Orr - September 27, 2018
Brett Kavanaugh says he's innocent and 'welcomes anything' that could prove it. So why is he refusing to support an FBI investigation?
Despite insisting on his innocence, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh refused at least 19 times on Thursday to call for an FBI investigation into the credible allegations of sexual assault that have been brought against him by multiple women.
During his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Kavanaugh repeatedly denied the accusations that he sexually assaulted several different women during high school and college, saying he would welcome anything to prove his innocence.
But when asked if he would welcome an FBI investigation into the matter, Kavanaugh changed his tune.
On at least 19 occasions, Kavanaugh was asked to commit to calling for the FBI to reopen its background investigation and look into the claims of sexual assault that have emerged in recent days and weeks.
And at least 19 times, he refused.

What is really disgusting about this entire situation, if these accusations of a drunk serial accused assaulter of woman had been investigated and if he thought one iota that his name should be cleared he would have said yes 19 times, he didn't say one word.
But he was in the Gore vs Bush item, and he has over 4658 dead Americans on his hands, plus thousands of Iraq people dead, when he helped coordinate the stacking of that vote in Florida, and now this right wing libertarian..................... farce...............Grassley has the power to re-open the FBI background check......and he didn't...................enough is enough......................I am pissed off along with millions of others...................

(26,106 posts)the FBI can interview an ever widening group of people with an ever widening set of questions.
They take the investigation where it leads them, in other words. So stuff like Squis stutter would be asked about, corroborated (yeah, right). A wider circle of people would be interviewed, places looked at, etc. or have I just watched too much of The Blacklist?
