White House Finds No Corroboration of Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against Kavanaugh in FBI Report

It is unclear whether White House had finalized its review of FBI interview reports

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 later Wednesday.

Still, the White House’s conclusions from the report means little 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.

The result could leave senators in much the same position as last week—faced with two witnesses providing mutually exclusive accounts and forced to decide between them. The investigation, which concluded two days before its Friday deadline, has faced mounting criticism in recent days from Democrats who have said the probe was not appropriately comprehensive. Investigators spoke to one of the three women who made accusations of sexual misconduct against Judge Kavanaugh.

The state of twitter when Kavanaugh gets voted in is going give me an erection for days

A White House spokesman declined to comment.

President Trump late Wednesday tweeted praise for his Supreme Court nominee. “Wow, such enthusiasm and energy for Judge Brett Kavanaugh,” he wrote, calling the judge “a fine man and great intellect.”

Republicans have said the extended FBI background check was a concession to Democrats and wavering Republicans, who demanded it and said its completion without a major revelation should allow Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to proceed to a Senate vote. Democratic senators on the Judiciary Committee, where Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination hearings were heard, have claimed that the White House imposed too many restrictions on who the FBI could interview—they didn’t talk to Christine Blasey Ford, Judge Kavanaugh’s accuser, for instance—to make their inquiry’s findings credible.

Not even the biggest waste of the night.

In an emotional hearing last Thursday, senators heard from Judge Kavanaugh and from Dr. Ford, the California psychology professor who accuses him of assaulting her when they were teenagers. Judge Kavanaugh denies the allegation.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) took a step Wednesday night to set up a Friday procedural vote on Judge Kavanaugh. He said the Senate would later Wednesday receive the FBI supplemental background investigation into Judge Kavanaugh, giving senators enough time to review the bureau’s findings before voting later this week.

Senators were expected to study the report at a secure location on Thursday. Three uncommitted Republicans—Jeff Flake of Arizona, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska—have said the FBI report would factor significantly into their decision.

Republicans have a narrow 51-49 edge in the Senate, so two defections would doom the nomination. In the event of a 50-50 tie, Vice President Mike Pence would cast a deciding vote on Judge Kavanaugh’s behalf.

The FBI probe was launched last Friday as the Judiciary Committee prepared to vote on sending Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Senate floor. Mr. Flake voted yes, but asked for the FBI to be given up to a week for a supplemental background check into allegations by Dr. Ford and another accuser, Deborah Ramirez, who says Judge Kavanaugh exposed himself to her in college.

>Call for investigation
>Cry foul when investigation is completed

Pretty sure that MSNBC interview sealed both hers and his fate.

She absolutely committed sudoku by agreeing to be interviewed.

Judge Kavanaugh also denies Ms. Ramirez’s allegations, saying he has never sexually assaulted anyone and characterizing the assertions as a political smear.

FBI agents have interviewed three people Dr. Ford said were at the social gathering where the alleged assault took place. The bureau also questioned two friends Judge Kavanaugh named in his 1982 calendar, Tim Gaudette and Chris Garrett, known as “Squi,” according to their lawyers.

Democrats have already signaled they consider the FBI investigation insufficient. The decision not to interview Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford, among others, “raises serious concerns that this is not a credible investigation,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

An attorney for Dr. Ford late Thursday criticized the probe. “An FBI supplemental background investigation that did not include an interview of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford—nor the witnesses who corroborate her testimony—cannot be called an investigation,” the attorney said. “We are profoundly disappointed that after the tremendous sacrifice she made in coming forward, those directing the FBI investigation were not interested in seeking the truth.”

Democrats also said they were concerned about Judge Kavanaugh for reasons beyond the sexual-assault allegation, including his fiery partisan attacks at Thursday’s hearing.

GOP leaders say the renewed investigation wasn’t necessary, given that Judge Kavanaugh had already been subjected to several FBI background checks.

Whether Judge Kavanaugh is confirmed or rejected, the fight over his nomination has added fuel to the country’s sharp political divide. It has damaged relationships in the Senate, prompted predictions of nasty confirmation fights in the future, and spurred warnings about the potential politicization of the Supreme Court.

“This cannot be the new normal, because it will destroy the ability of people to come forward and be judges,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) said Wednesday at an event sponsored by the Atlantic magazine. “What goes around comes around.”

You're right. Please demand that they release the FBI report.

What the fuck is with kek in this thread. Rather eat my own shit.

I'm hijacking this thread for a second because we already have another one.
Can we steal the word boofing to refer to the trolling that Jow Forums participates in. The left is trying to take it as a meme, and I don't think they deserve it.

orange man bad

>Republicans don't know what they're doing!
>REEEE THEY'RE SABOTAGING A INVESTIGATION

post screenshots for lulz plz

Genuine Q: How is it that a woman who:

>can't remember whose house the attack occurred in
>can't remember how she got there
>can't remember how she got back

End up being so credible? Don't they realize that giving her legitimacy leads to the death of due process?

Dream bigger.

>haha Mueller is really gonna show Trump amirite
>no way dude the FBI is compromisedpf course they said BK was innocent

>it's over
>when Kavanaugh has to somehow pass a vote with Flake, Murkowski, Collins, and Sasse
>all of which signs point to voting no

so when is the vote?

>Don't they realize that giving her legitimacy leads to the death of due process?
You're acting like this isn't their endgame,

Her psychology expertise played a lot in that. She knew exactly how to appeal to emotion. She wanted to seem to be so small and fragile that the wind could've broken her in half.. and to many people she succeeded in that task. I didn't buy it though. She never shed a tear, never cleared her throat coughed or wiped her nose, etc.

Imagine my surprise.

Literally will wake up and put on their Allah Akbar suits tomorrow morning after reading the news. MAGA.

>No idea who was there
>No idea where it was
>No idea when it was
But I know that I must blame

think i saw that the committee meets Friday vote Saturday but it was just a post here so it could have been bullshit

Dems need to commit more suicide. Like everything else they suck at that too apparently.

>Couldn't do the vote as the investigation was going on
Its amazing how much more efficient DC would be if they learn to multi task.

You grew up with Alyssa Milano? You poor soul.

You're a big dream.

>a anonymous source before the report is even finalized is 100% trustworthy this time around
oh the irony

assuming this turns out to be true(in an unspinnable way) then the dems will seize on how supposedly limited it was as their last ditch attempt. only some ironclad definitive shit would lock down the repub rinos

Of course, it didn't go his way.
