White House Finds No Support in FBI Report for Claims Against Kavanaugh

WASHINGTON—The White House has found no corroboration of the allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh after examining interview reports from the FBI’s latest probe into the judge’s background, according to people familiar with the matter.

It was unclear whether the White House, which for weeks has raised doubts about the allegations, had completed its review of the FBI interview reports. Officials were expected to be sending the FBI report to the Senate Judiciary Committee late Wednesday.

Still, the White House’s conclusions from the report are not definitive at this point in the confirmation process. Senators who will decide Mr. Kavanaugh’s fate are set to review the findings on Thursday, and some of them may draw different conclusions.

My hands are shaking. I’m feeling physically sick.

1. Let's see: a collection of liars who dance to the tune of the chief liar don't see what they don't

want to see in a process designed to not see what they don't want to see.


Seems legit.

21. Remember we have a solution: The ballot box. Vote on Nov. 6, 2018

The people controlling the Republican Party are intent on transforming the government into a authoritarian presidency in conjunction with an cabinet of the wealthy. They have under their control a large segment of the population made up of extreme factions consisting of the wealthy, evangelicals, racists, second amendment radicals and low information voters who they have convinced that they are their champions. With the exception of the wealthy class, these groups are little more than useful idiots to be exploited.

The only weapon that the citizens have is the ballot box. The Republicans as well aware of this fact. They have even attempted to extended their campaign to restrict and control the most fundamental privilege and essential tool of a democracy by restricting the vote of minorities and younger voters and gerrymandering. The fact is that we are in a war for control of our society. A war that the liberals upon whose principles the nation was founded are losing by default.

38. IF the votes are counted accurately, and IF the Dems decide to OPPOSE the GOP this time around.

Off the table...

Reach across the aisle...

They go low, we roll over and play dead...

etc.

[dchill]

2. Cover-up, whitewash, fake news.

The FBI has not even announced that they have finished their investigation, let alone a report. Something VERY bogus is going on.

[DeminPennswoods]

25. Figuluzzi said his experience was

that the WH was briefed contemporaneously on FBI findings as they finished each interview. That explains why the WH would have seemed to know "ahead of time" what was in the report.

[donkeypoofed]

3. Of course they didn't! They weren't looking for it

Such a see-thru whitewash! And you'd think even a Repukelican would.mind getting used like this by their billionaire donors - but they don't. Emasculated bunch of cretins.

[OnDoutside]

4. Set scene, part one. I'm shocked I tell ya.....

[msongs]

5. well all those who wanted an FBI investigation are getting the results of it nt

[LandOfHopeAndDreams]

7. What Was The Option?

They could have just voted him in last week? How would that have been better?

[HeiressofBickworth]

6. What came to mind is a quote attributed to Stalin

It doesn't matter who votes, it matters who counts the votes.

In this case, it doesn't matter what the FBI report has or will say, it matters what TPTB say about the report.

As I've said from the beginning, this is all kabuki theater. A circus to placate the masses before they do what they were planning to do all along. I don't place any hope at all on the three Republican senators who have said they haven't decided. What they really mean is they are waiting to see what Dear Leader says before casting their vote. It is, after all, the Party of Trump.

Now excuse me while I go vomit......

[BlueTsunami2018]

8. Hard to find corroboration when you don't interview anyone who can.

This is a joke. A sick, tragic joke.

[Judi Lynn]

10. Each week Republicans find a new way to rape the country.

They have amassed a monstrous karmic debt.

[lastlib]

24. Spot On!

It's rape, plain, pure and simple!

And it's adding insult to sexual assault for every victim!

9. Join the Ralph Club...

[John Fante]

11. With this announcement

the WH instantly destroys what little credibility this investigation had.

[pazzyanne]

14. With this announcement, the White House has destroyed the underpinnings

of our nation. Any doubt that we are no longer living in a constitutional democracy?

[C Moon]

12. Putin nods and a small grin forms with approval.

[pansypoo53219]

13. well, they made sure of that. jhope it bites them in the ass HARD.

[ejbr]

15. And they won't make the report public

How convenient

[MichMan]

27. I don't recall any previous FBI reports being released to the public, do you ?

No one would have expected that to be the case this time either

[ejbr]

37. I understand, but Theyindicated

That due to the significant public interest that releasing them would squash any concerns about what is happening with them claiming all is good without proving it.

[DFW]

16. The White House has also found that Donald Trump and Sarah Sanders have never lied

There will be some divergence of opinion on that as well.

[Silver Gaia]

17. Did anyone really expect the WH to say anything else?

Of course they are saying they find "no corroboration."

[crazytown]

18. I expected them to say "no collusion" nt

[Silver Gaia]

20. Ha!

Well, they do seem to be stuck on that phrase.

[SWBTATTReg]

19. Of course not. Didn't expect anything else from this WH. A big joke, the whole thing. NT

[rockfordfile]

22. There was no real investigation. Seen that coming

[watoos]

23. I need to apologize

to the poster here who I was rude to. He was absolutely right, this is now Trump's FBI. I gave way too much credit to Christopher Wray. I did not realize that Wray and Rosenstein and Kavanaugh are tight.

What is this nation becoming, putting a monster on the Supreme Court?

We Democrats damn well better vote the bastards out. I don't believe the polls that claim that young voters are disillusioned, it's a ploy to make us depressed and stay home. I repeat, vote the bastards out, our democracy, what's left of it depends on a Democratic Congress.

[Hoyt]

28. Yep, voting is our best recourse right now. Don't wait until the last minute. And donate if you can.

[DeminPennswoods]

26. Don't know if they have a pact, per se,

but I kind of think these close classmates and friends of Kavanaugh collectively decided they just don't remember anything.

[Le Gaucher]

29. Why are you surprised? I was fully expecting this

[hatrack]

30. Hard to find what you're deliberately not looking for . . .

.

[The Liberal Lion]

31. As if we actually thought their conclusion would be different

[Nitram]

32. That's what THEY say.

As a voting citizen I'd like to have the opportunity to decide for myself.

[laserhaas]

33. No Chit! - Really? - Trump finds no fault with who he picked?

Who would've thunk?

Pshaw!

[Oneironaut]

34. Effort level: Retiring DMV Worker

Seriously - They had the enthusiasm level of someone responding to “did ya look?” by lifting a stack of folders up mockingly, dropping them back down, and saying, “Yep!”

[bucolic_frolic]

35. Pro-growth polluters are rejoicing

They own everything now. Future generations included. Such a complete heist hasn't happened since post-Civil War era.

[uppityperson]

36. The white house wouldn't see it if it were right in front of them, of course

Bunch of asses

[Snellius]

39. So Judge didn't confirm it? That's a hard one to get around.

He was the key witness. And if FBI were given the chance, they could substantiate whether he was lying. Kav's poor-depressed-drunk defense of him suggested he knew he knew. His story may be far from over.
