Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick to be excluded from FBI investigation

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/30/fbi-investigation-brett-kavanaugh-julie-swetnick-kellyanne-conway

The FBI will not interview Julie Swetnick, the third woman to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, according to multiple reports and the Republican senator Lindsey Graham, highlighting the narrow scope of the agency’s supplemental investigation into Donald Trump’s supreme court nominee.

After NBC News and the other outlets said Swetnick would not be questioned, the White House, which has stood by Kavanaugh through the fallout from an explosive Senate hearing on Thursday, denied it was limiting the investigation.

On Saturday Donald Trump said on Twitter he wanted the FBI “to interview whoever they deem appropriate, at their discretion”

Swetnick has claimed, in a sworn statement, that Kavanaugh and Judge engaged in lewd behavior with young women at high school parties, and alleged the two placed drugs or alcohol in punch in order to inebriate women so they could be “gang raped” by other partygoers.

BTW the right is conducting a b.s. smear campaign against Ms. Swetnick right now. Now why do my
spider senses tell that these are b.s. charges? Because if they were true Ms. Swetnick would not have held
and still have all the top level security clearances* she was granted.

Right now, they are just laughing it off as a joke. They are somehow getting away with it.

If she were interviewed, along with corroborating witnesses, her story would grow and grow and grow.

But they have it contained, even in the media.

Dissing avanati is only a sweetener, not the brew itself.
