FBI accused of running 'fake tip line' during Brett Kavanaugh background check
2021-07-23
[Washington Examiner] Seven Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats demanded the FBI explain its use of a novel tip line implemented during a supplemental background investigation into then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in 2018.

In a Tuesday letter to Director Chris Wray, Democratic senators accused the FBI of being "politically constrained by the Trump White House," demanding to know what extent the agency vetted tips and whether the administration prevented it from doing so.

The letter was written by Sens. Dick Durbin, Patrick Leahy, Chris Coons, Cory Booker, Mazie Hirono, Sheldon Whitehouse, and Richard Blumenthal.
probably written by one of their semi-literate aides. This group of imbeciles couldn't keep a straight sentence
The accusation comes in response to a June 30 letter from Jill Tyson, assistant director for the FBI's Office of Congressional Affairs, addressed to Whitehouse and Coons detailing the agency’s supplemental background investigation into sexual assault allegations levied against Kavanaugh after he was nominated by former President Donald Trump to serve on the Supreme Court.

#11   I'll bet that somewhere in the bowels of the FBI is their involvement in the planning of the WTC bombings and fed building bombings.

Don't forget the Global Warming carbon credits scam and now the imagined world vax crisis.

"Early in 2000, a unique research partnership took place between the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island and the Wall Street bond firm Cantor Fitzgerald. The venture is called the New Rule Sets Project and was directed by Thomas Barnett, Senior Strategic Researcher at the Decision Strategies Department of the Center for Naval Warfare Studies, U.S. Naval War College."

#10  Ref #8: Yes, outsourcing is a popular work around. UK security expert Christopher Steele may be a valid example. Also interesting to note the Wuhan scientists who turned up dead immediately after the incident broke. A few others received asylum here in the states. Were these people sources who feared discovery? Did their checks stop coming? Just a thought.

#9  Ref #6: After watching their cock-ups for over 25 year I have come to the conclusion their source recruitment operations are a miserable POS. It's a numbers and convictions game for them. Crime prevention appears to be a secondary goal.

If you are ever unlucky enough to be interrogated by them, say nothing until your (personally hired) attorney arrives.
If your attorney isn't armed with a para with recorder and note pad in hand, continue to say nothing and get another attorney.

#8  Lying to the FBI is a crime. They get around that by making the tip line personnel non-FBI.

#6  The FBI has had a hand in or was at the front of just about every major constitution infringement event, Waco, Ruby Ridge, Antifa, Trump investigation, fake hate crimes, and now this. I'll bet that somewhere in the bowels of the FBI is their involvement in the planning of the WTC bombings and fed building bombings.

#4  ...demanding to know what extent the agency vetted tips and whether the administration prevented it from doing so.

Now that's some funny shit right there - the FBI targeted Trump and many of his aides before he took office, but now we're to believe he had some level of control over them?

This kind of game playing makes me sick.

#3  REVEALED - FBI received 4,500 tips about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh before his nomination: Democrats criticize ‘sham’ process and accuse Trump lawyers of stone-walling the investigation

#2  Seems even the corrupt FBI knew the allegations against Kavanaugh couldn't pass the least scrutiny.
