convince citizens they cannot trust them. Only IQ45 is the savior.

Also, from what I gathered, even the limited check revealed corroboration - which is why McConnell put such a tight set of controls on the release to the Senate. It is rather obvious the stink comes from McConnell.

So, while my feelings towards the FBI is totally mixed, I do feel that they were hamstrung from the very start and kept from conducting a real investigation into Dr. Ford/Kavanaugh thanks to toilet-paper-in-chief. And even though many in the FBI lean right (Especially the SDNY, Anti-Hillary Ghouliani faction), I'm sure many of them cannot stand the way toilet-paper-in-chief runs them down and talks about them like dogs, in deep state ways saying that they were in with Hillary trying to get her elected. Let me get this straight, Hillary worked with the ruskies and the FBI to get herself elected, but instead she helped to get toilet-paper-in-chief elected 🙄
Hopefully if Dems win back the House this Fall, they can schedule full investigations and first up call FBI head Wray and get to the bottom of what kind of investigation they really launched into Dr. Ford & Kavanaugh, and go from there.

(3,256 posts)I still remember Hoover and his overt racism There has been a long history of the FBI oppressing labor and being willing to serve the right wing faction of America. Wray and Rosenstein are Kavanughs Ivy league buddies. Of course they probably have a mostly honest agents in the field their higher ups are mere political hacks. I cannot believe an honest FBI can't find anything illegal about T-rumps many activities. At least they got Al Capone for tax evasion, but it took the New York Times to find it on Trump.
