The June 2021 letter from the FBI Office of Congressional Affairs revealed new information on the Kavanaugh investigation, including that the tip line received “over 4,500 tips, including phone calls and electronic submissions.” By the FBI's own account, it merely “provided all relevant tips” to Trump's Office of White ...Aug 4, 2022


Washington, DC – In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) today received confirmation from FBI Director Christopher Wray that the FBI sent tips that the agency had collected about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Trump White House without investigation. The tips were collected through the FBI’s existing tip line as part of a supplemental background investigation after allegations of sexual misconduct emerged during Justice Kavanaugh’s 2018 confirmation process. Wray also confirmed that the Trump White House directed which witnesses the FBI was permitted to interview.

“You reviewed them for purposes of separating from tip line traffic but did not further investigate the ones that related to Kavanaugh, correct?” Whitehouse asked in reference to the more than 4,500 tips collected by the FBI.

Director Wray responded, “Correct.”

Is Lindsay graham an academy award winning actor or is he being blackmailed to the point of weighing heavily on his head and heart that he’ll damn near say and act anyway he is told or is he just a run of the mill 21st century elected Republican?

We know trump is a serial lying moral degenerate who nominated

Brett (I like beer) Kavanaugh who lied during his confirmation hearings, who had debt magically disappear, who has no integrity and like graham will do anything that he is told.

Hey, I like beer too but I have no debt and my soul is not for sale. And I have this quaint notion that the Supreme Court should be formally and officially judged on ethics and whether it has as a collective body a shred of integrity. Why is that such a difficult request.
