What...? How? How do you investigate a sexual allegation that happens 36 years ago? What do they have to work on?
>WASHINGTON - A woman who has accused President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, of sexual assault decades ago wants her allegations to be investigated by the FBI before she appears at a U.S. Senate hearing, her lawyers said on Tuesday.
>Christine Blasey Ford, a university professor in California, has accused Kavanaugh of attacking her and trying to remove her clothing while he was drunk at a suburban Maryland party in 1982 when they were both high school students, allegations Kavanaugh has called “completely false.”
>Democrats, already fiercely opposed to the nominee, have also been seeking an FBI investigation, a request that Republicans have rebuffed. Trump and other Republicans said they did not think the FBI needed to be involved
>Trump earlier on Tuesday stepped up his defense of Kavanaugh and expressed sympathy toward his nominee, who met with officials at the White House for a second straight day, although not with the president.
>“I feel so badly for him that he’s going through this, to be honest with you,” Trump told a news conference. “This is not a man that deserves this.”
>“Hopefully the woman will come forward, state her case. He will state his case before representatives of the United States Senate. And then they will vote,” Trump added.
>how do you investigate things that never happened? You don't Brett will be a supreme court justice by the end of next week.

If you have to ask, you'll never get a vote. That's your problem sweetie.

It's the most assinine request in the world and FBI already told her to piss off days ago and did so against last night. ,This in addition to Dems DEMANDING the documents Trump LAWFULLY requested not come out or maintain redactions is one step over the line.
Trump now has the authority, no, the MANDATE to have them all executed for seditious conspiracy
Connor Price
Is it even in the FBI's jurisdiction?
Hunter Rogers
Literally a stall tactic hoping to delay the vote until after the midterms. The “assault” is likely largely exaggerated or a complete fabrication.
Gabriel Richardson
the FBI is now the Democrats' partisan police force they can use to obstruct via investigation heads NEED to roll over this shit immediately
James Gomez
trump won't do shit

No, it's a state local crime with expired statutes. What they are REALLY asking for is for the White House to say "go ahead FBI, re do another background check" which just is not happening
