Wray Admits The FBI Never Investigated Brett Kavanaugh Sexual Assault Tips


FBI Director Chris Wray admitted during Senate testimony that tips about Brett Kavanaugh and sexual assault were never investigated but instead given to Donald Trump.

Director Wray said, “I apologize that in advance that it’s been frustrating for you, we’ve tried to be clear about our process, so when it comes to the tip line, we wanted to make sure that the White House had all the information we have so when the hundreds of calls started coming in we gathered those up reviewed them and provided them to the White House without investigation.”

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) asked, “You reviewed them for purposes of separating from tip-line traffic but did not further investigate the ones that related to Kavanaugh, correct?

Wray answered, “Correct.”

Sen. Whitehouse has been trying to get answers from the FBI for years about the sham investigation into the Brett Kavanaugh sexual assault claims. Thanks to Sen. Whitehouse (D-RI), the nation now knows that the FBI allowed the Trump administration to decide who could be questioned and what could be asked.

The investigation was a fraud. The FBI collected the tips and then handed them to Trump as he ran the “investigation” into his Supreme Court nominee. If it chose to do so, the Senate could open an investigation into the sham investigation and the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh.

When Trump and the GOP conned Brett Kavanaugh onto the Supreme Court, an injustice was done. A wrong was committed that deserves to be righted.

[kentuck]

1. He was scared to death that Trump would fire him...

In my opinion. He just hid in the corner until Trump was gone.

[Beachnutt]

2. Well how about investigating now ?

If beer boy raped somebody he needs to be prosecuted.

[2naSalit]

3. +1

Wray needs to be replaced asap.

[Rebl2]

14. Agreed

Scared of being fired? Really? Give me a break. Fire him NOW.

[dchill]

49. Yes. So does Brett. (And Amy.)

[2naSalit]

52. Yes and yes!

[dchill]

53. Some sort of legitimacy needs to be installed.

IMO, 3 seats were stolen!

[Mickju]

105. I agree with your opinion.

[triron]

109. Indeed! The Presidency was also (stolen).

Of course we will never hear about this. Except from Jimmy Carter.

[GB_RN]

68. Statute Of Limitations Has Likely Run Out...

On any sexual assaults he may have committed. I think the best we could hope for in this case, would be perjury charges.

[wnylib]

92. The witnesses who were never interviewed

can still be interviewed now. Too late to bring sexual assault charges against frat boy, but their testimony will help with perjury charges.

Even if it is too late for perjury charges, the fact that a sitting justice lied to Congress and has a history of sexual assault should be grounds for impeachment. We can't have someone like that on the SC, especially since he might be involved in rulings related to perjury and sexual assault.

[GB_RN]

96. That Was What I Was Getting At...

Assault charges won’t happen, but perjury charges could still work.

Of course, the Repukes in the Senate would never vote to convict on impeachment, even if the asshole was tried and convicted on perjury charges in court. They’d never give up the seat. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[wnylib]

110. By the time we get around to impeachment,

the composition of the Senate might be improved.

[RockRaven]

4. Wasn't this known at the time? Weren't there witnesses who told reporters that they called the

FBI tip line but were never interviewed? And didn't those reporters publish that info before the confirmation vote?

What does it matter that Wray admits it if nobody is going to do anything about it?

[Marthe48]

33. Yes

I remember hearing complaints that people who took the time to call the fbi didn't get a follow-up.

[stopdiggin]

82. It was.

The key question is whether the FBI had a responsibility - or whether it lay with the WH (in vetting their own nominee). But the FBI has been telling essentially the same story from the beginning.

[certainot]

91. it doesn't help that americans let 1200 RW and russian think tank-coordinated radio stations steer a

big part of the daily buzz

like the buzz that enabled/intimidated comey into trashing clinton

dems let, without complaint, limbaugh spend 3 weeks attacking the kavenaugh accuser who did testify, christine blasey (balsy) ford, calling her a liar and paid dem operative and even exposing her parents to attacks by mentioning where they lived

[orleans]

112. yes, it was known at the time. i thought it was insane.

and it all went down the rabbit hole

wray admits it now in the hearing so it is in congressional record--how america got fucked over with kavanaugh

hopefully whitehouse will take this horse and run with it.
hopefully wray is fired when he turns in those written answers in a month
hopefully kavanaugh gets brought up on perjury charges and investigated for real this time; and the law permits for a sc justice to be kicked out for being a criminal

[DURHAM D]

5. All one needs to know about Wray is that he is a member of The Federalist Society.

iows - He is dirty.

[delisen]

10. Federalist Society seems to be Proud Boys in Suits. nt

[uponit7771]

15. +1,

[Lonestarblue]

19. Exactly. They just have sneakier ways of undermining democracy and our government.

[dchill]

50. More quietly efficient.

[mountain grammy]

34. best description I've seen.

[DURHAM D]

35. I like that. Think I will use it.

Thanks

[DURHAM D]

36. oops

Dup post

[calimary]

48. That sounds about right.

[chia]

98. +1,000,000

[OMGWTF]

104. THIS! THIS! THIS!

[dalton99a]

51. +1

[Baitball Blogger]

6. MFer.

This is why I despise the FBI. They were never an objective criminal agency. They just supported Republicans and their causes because it made life easier for them.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. There is malfeasance and why isn't that a crime?

Is the purpose of the FBI to protect the powerful?

Is that the lesson of Prohibition?

[DoBotherMe]

93. Not just the powerful

But the criminal as well.

[Solly Mack]

8. K&R

[delisen]

9. Wray is disgusting and the Court as a body is delegitimized

The government asked citizens to provide information of a personal nature for an investigation by professional investigators but no investigation was done. Instead the government official in charge just turned the raw information over to Trump.

The betrayal of citizens. How have we gotten to many disgraceful heads of the FBI in our modern world. From Louis Freeh to Comey to Wray. All disastrous.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

38. Hoover was a fucking piece of shit, also.

Look at all the years he turned a blind eye to organized crime, even denying its existence.

[delisen]

46. Yes Hoover was an organized crime enabler

and used the the power of the agency for his own political aims. He may have been the worst of them all and may have set the tone for those who followed.

[DENVERPOPS]

69. Could not agree more!!!!!!!!!!!

All disastrous and all thoroughly corrupted to help the Republican Party.........

[Hotler]

11. .....

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. Senate confirmed Just-us Beer Bong Weenie Waver without sufficient information.

[renate]

13. HOLY CRAP

It was purely window dressing.

No, it was much much worse! We were supposed to think he'd been vetted and cleared when EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE HAPPENED.

His appointment was 100% illegitimate.

This was an out-and-out lie to the American people.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

39. Par for the course for the Trump administration.

[ancianita]

16. Yes, Wray did. And because he did, oversight should recommend to DOJ that he be FIRED.

I've been saying for years that the FBI is overrun with Republican foot-draggers in service of ONLY their own party.

[Stinky The Clown]

17. Meant as praise and said with admiration: Whitehouse is a dog with a bone!

[slumcamper]

22. Whitehouse consistently shines as one of our party's most luminous stars. The guy rocks. n/t

[crickets]

47. Agreed, and it's refreshing as hell. nt

[patphil]

18. Never saw that coming.

I mean, after all, the FBI wouldn't just blow off an investigation of sexual assault against a person being confirmed to the Supreme Court...would they?

Wray's just another asshole who needs to be removed from his office for dereliction of duty...welcome to Trump world.

How many of these people are still in positions of authority?

[Aristus]

20. They wanted Kavanaugh in for their assault on RvW.

They got what they wanted. And now Roe is trashed. And now the people (even a festering turd of a state like Kansas!) are pushing back.

It’s time for that scene in action or dystopian movies where people are sitting around on smoldering wreckage and wondering if it was worth it.

[WA-03 Democrat]

43. Good thing Washington has no turds

Sure seems like there are a few when I look around (Hey Joe Kent, Proud Boys, 3%ers)

Proud Jayhawk, KU grad and card carrying Washingtonian.

[appalachiablue]

84. +1 Good for you.

[Sky Jewels]

21. All the key agencies of our government have been thoroughly corrupted.

There needs to be a MAJOR purge at every level.

[Duppers]

62. 4yrs of tRump did it.

Wish we never had another Republican in office.

[Sky Jewels]

64. So many people were/are willing to

destroy the rule of law and embrace authoritarianism and fascism. It’s so scary and disheartening.

[DET]

23. Whitehouse is a pitbull...

Direct and to the point and won’t put up with any crap. I bet he’d be a great speaker once Nancy is gone. Meanwhile, Wray needs to go and Kavanaugh needs to have a real investigation by serious people.

[CottonBear]

24. Oh! He'd be an amazing Speaker of the House!

[56miSSie]

28. Whitehouse is a Senator.

[DET]

32. Whoops!

You’re right. Should have said Schumer - if he ever leaves, maybe even if he doesn’t.

[Warpy]

25. He admitted they never investigated ANYTHING

and just passed it along to someone who would certainly investigate him----TFG!

[onecaliberal]

26. Because dump said no. Guess what. Someone did investigate and they're not going to let it go.

Thank you, Senator. God speed.

[erronis]

27. I remember this (non-investigation) being talked about during the hearings.

And then the media had something else to yak about.

Come on, NYT, WAPO. Show us you are actually capable of hanging on to a story and taking it all the way to ground. Not splash it on a front page for a day and then find another trumpian misdeed to distract us with.

[llmart]

41. Let's see if this even hits the TV news stations.

I saw three different stories in the past two days about the baby hippo born at a zoo. Wow! What investigative journalism we have in this country.

[Tetrachloride]

29. Wray will be gone by Thanksgiving--my prediction

[bucolic_frolic]

30. You may not be far off. This is a major revelation that screams crooked and rigged.

[llmart]

42. Even if he is gone...

we're still going to be stuck with boofer beer boy and that'll be OK with the repugs. Wray's job will be done and I'll bet he was paid well.

[TheBeam19]

31. "Last call at the Factual Correction Saloon." Haha

Sen. Whitehouse is awesome. He would make an excellent AG.

Edit: making sure the quote was correct

[uponit7771]

40. +1,

[Tetrachloride]

37. Net worth $ 23 million. Federalist society

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_A._Wray

[rubbersole]

44. Federalist Society membership should be disqualifying for any government position.

They are demonstrating their ultimate evil intentions with new revelations almost daily. Owning the SC was their just first goal. Buckle up.

[Peregrine Took]

57. Quoting Sen. Ted Kennedy....WHEN IS THE GREED GOING TO STOP????? n/t

[elias7]

45. Now can we get back to Christine Blasey Ford's testimony?

It was like both justice and reality got put on hold

[lostnfound]

102. A total slap in the face to her and her brave sacrifice

Chris Wray should be subjected to public castigation from her and others, as well.disgusting.

[Peregrine Took]

54. No follow up question as to WHY he didn't pursue the many tips? n/t

[triron]

111. This is crucially important. So why the hell not??

[Hekate]

55. I remember the unbelievable courage of Kavanaugh's accuser, Dr Christine Blasey Ford...

I remember she was 100% believable to me, and kept going while being grilled about the worst, most harrowing experiences of her youth.

I remember how Kavanaugh wept and whined and bellowed — chewed the scenery like a ham actor.

I remember how the damn NY Times editorial page called HER “emotionally fragile.”

So — Wray is also in the Federalist Society? Just begs the question of how many ultra-privileged and/or secret societies are there running the country unbeknownst to the rest of us poor mortal fools? The Federalists and Opus Dei and the ol’ Skull and Bones…

[Peregrine Took]

58. Probably spends more on hair gel than most spend on groceries. n/t

[robodruid1]

81. It is odd that NPR

or NYT did not do any more interviews/investigations after it all "died down" to confirm Dr. Fords testimony. A major failure for victims.

[NCjack]

56. Touched by Trump and turned to shit. Director Wray, you are unworthy

and should resign immediately.

[Tetrachloride]

59. Regardless of any resignation or hints as there might be,

let the chips by an unleashed special prosecutor fall where they may.

[NCjack]

61. He is Trump's boy. At this moment, he could be misdirecting or killing investigations.

He should at least be reassigned to F-Troop until DOJ can properly deal with him.

[3catwoman3]

60. I admire and respect Senator Whitehouse.

I'd be quite happy to see a President Whitehouse in the White House - in his tan suit!

[duckworth969]

63. Fire Wray, remove Kavanaugh

[Duppers]

65. Indeed! YES❗👍

[Blue Owl]

66. It's time to make Brett and Lindsey cry again

Only this time, it’s REALLY gonna hurt…..

[Karma13612]

67. Utterly despicable. Eom

[napi21]

70. I'd like to see good ole Brett investigated too, but I have to ask, what happens of he is

found to have raped girls when he was in College? Has the statute of limitations run? Even if he's shown to be the scum of the earth, can he be impeached for it now? I'm afraid we're dealing with a Trumpkin like idiot here. He's confident he's gotten away with his "errors" in his past & I'm afraid he may be right.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

71. Fire that F-ing POS NOW !!!!

[True Blue American]

72. Sent the information to the WH!

The Administraion needs to fire the whole corrupt bunch! Wray included Amd Kavanaugh needs to be impeached or forced to resign

[Demsrule86]

73. Wray needs to be fired.

[Rhiagel]

74. Mark Judge needs to testify before the Senate.

The sham "investigation" supposedly interviewed him. I want to see Boofster's friend subpoenaed and sworn to tell the truth this time.

[ecstatic]

75. They would never do that type of bullshit with Pres Biden

Any tips about his noms would have been investigated. I'm a thousand percent sure of it. The FBI is a self-congratulating, fraudulent and rethug-friendly organization.

[Xoan]

76. Cowardice has it's rewards.

[Scrivener7]

77. OH, MEDIA!!! Woohoo!!! Over here!!! This is your job!

Time to interview some people who knew boof boy. Get on that, will you??

[Vinca]

78. So, as we suspected, the whole Kavanaugh vetting was a sham. Where do we go from here?

It's not right the miserable, little felon is in a position for life on the highest court in the land.

[SunSeeker]

79. Wray needs to be fired. He covered up this fraud.

Wray insisted this sort of limitation is standard practice under both Republican and Democratic presidencies, but an examination last year suggests that the memorandum of understanding on which Wray apparently relied does not give the White House the power to limit such investigations.

https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-4-2022

[BlueJac]

80. So not all FBI agents are brave, or patriots .

Trump proved it.

[lark]

83. Every one of the fascist members of SCOTUS lied and lied bigly and should be removed.

Every one of them said Roe was established law and should not be overturned - then voted that Roe was incorrectly decided and was never valid. One of these 2 things is a lie and needs to be prosecuted and the lying filth removed from SCOTUS - otherwise we are dead when they install unitary legislature as law and so allow the end of one person one vote and our democracy dies.

[robodruid1]

86. Impeachment is a legitamte response to a court case that we disagree with.

Its a check and balance thing.

[Uncle Joe]

85. This reminds me of the National Inquirer, similar MO

National Enquirer owner admits it buried stories for Trump

NEW YORK (AP) — The parent company of magazines including the National Enquirer, Us Weekly and In Touch has admitted to engaging in a journalistically dubious practice known as “catch-and-kill” in order to help Donald Trump become president.

Federal prosecutors revealed Wednesday they had agreed not to prosecute American Media Inc. for secretly assisting Trump’s campaign by paying $150,000 to Playboy model Karen McDougal for the rights to her story about an alleged affair with Trump. The company then intentionally suppressed McDougal’s story until after the election.

Thanks for the thread babylonsister

[turbinetree]

87. Then he should be removed from the bench and some people need to lose there tenure and pension...

its about principles its that simple and Whitehouse has exposed the lack of those principles...and this country now has a federalist society asshole taking away peoples rights.....and he will be making a ruling on a case on state legislatures in North Carolina...

88. ...

[themaguffin]

89. He needs to resign

[Trust_Reality]

90. There needs to be some serious "house cleaning".

[Martin68]

94. I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

[RevBrotherThomas]

95. He still likes beer.

[AllaN01Bear]

97. more @#$%&*($%&*()#$%&

[spanone]

99. That alone should be reason to remove him. He was compromised.

[orthoclad]

100. Time to get cracking on the Court

Beer-bong Brett makes a good target.

We can't just wring our hands and say we can't do anything. Go, Senator Whitehouse!

[The Animator]

101. I seem to recall something about some papers during his time in the W admin

that could use a closer look too.

[kimbutgar]

103. He should be fired immediately and the FBI needs to open up a new tip line

And go after this bogus Kavanaugh..

[paulkienitz]

106. there needs to be consequences for Wray, not just for Kavanaugh

[summer_in_TX]

107. Frank Figliuzzi was just on MSNBC and shocked me

by explaining that EVERY time a nominee is being renominated, the client is the president, not the American public. It would have been different and a more thorough background check would have been done for someone never before nominated.

But Kavanaugh was already a judge who had been nominated previously, which totally changed what happened and put it one hundred percent in the control of then-president Donald Trump.

So Wray's turning that info over to the president was SOP and only the president could have ordered those public complaints about Kavanaugh be examined. Of course Trump never would have done that.

Figliuzzi says Whitehouse is very aware that is SOP. The only way to get that changed is for the public to demand a president change that when renominating an individual to a different post.

Figliuzzi had been explaining that to all sorts of media and was tired of having to explain it yet again, apparently. Mind-blowing that there was never going to be a review and that it's the way it always is. Good grief.

[Evolve Dammit]

108. I suspected as much. Utter spineless bullshit. Fire this SOB immediately.
