This long-delayed answer confirms how badly we were spun by Director Wray and the FBI in the Kavanaugh background investigation and hearing.
It confirms my suspicions that the tip line was not real and that FBI tip line procedures were not followed. There are FBI tip line procedures. They were not followed.
So when Wray said they followed procedures, he meant the procedure of doing whatever Trump White House Counsel told them to do. Thats misleading as hell.
I charged that the tip line was really a tip dump, with all the tips going straight into the dumpster without investigation. In fact it was a tip dump where all the tips went straight to White House Counsel without investigation. Same difference.
No wonder so many witnesses were so frustrated when they tried to bring evidence forward. Ive heard tales that even FBI agents not in on the scam sent info to the tip line. That must feel like a burn.
Victims dont always get redress, but their serious allegations deserve serious investigation, not a tip line garbage chute to a White House Counsel desperate to cover up the facts.
