Christine Blasey Ford's lawyers blast FBI's Kavanaugh investigation as 'sham'

Attorneys for Christine Blasey Ford, whose sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh became the center of his Senate confirmation hearings, on Friday accused the FBI of carrying out a "sham" investigation into the accusations.

The strong criticism from attorneys Debra Katz and Lisa Banks came after Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.) released a letter the FBI sent to him and Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) revealing that the agency had gathered more than 4,500 tips related to its probe into Kavanaugh over the claims.

The FBI added in the letter that it referred all "relevant tips" to the office of the White House counsel, though it was unclear if the FBI followed up on any of the tips.

Katz and Banks on Friday said that the FBI letter, which was a response to a 2019 inquiry from the senators over concerns that the White House had limited the probe, revealed that the agency allowed "those who supported Kavanaugh to falsely claim that the FBI found no wrongdoing."

"The letter from the Department of Justice, released by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's office today, confirms what we knew: The FBI's investigation into Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's serious allegations about Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh's sexual misconduct was a sham and a major institutional failure," the lawyers wrote.

She can't be an originalist....

In 1776 she had no rights to do anything


She couldn't be an attorney
She couldn't teach law
She couldn't be a judge
She couldn't vote
She couldn't even own property unless hubby died

The words she writes about law will be about the most disingenuous of any justice in History !

The court is a complete farce after the shenanigans from the senate in the last 4 years !

Of course they found no wrongdoing, they never looked!

This is exactly like their COVID strategy, if you don't test, you won't get an infections.

If you don't investigate, you won't find any wrongdoing!
