* This FBI's work is not public. It will likely never be public. There will be no summary. There will be no release.
* There are 109 people who have clearance to access what was delivered to Capitol Hill at 2:30 Thursday morning -- 100 senators, four majority committee staffers and four minority committee staffers, one committee clerk. That's it.
* There is a single copy of the FBI's findings. It is currently in a vault, in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility -- or SCIF, if you'd like to use the Washington short hand. It cannot leave the room.
* Senators can't bring their phones into the SCIF when they go to review the documents. If they take notes, the notes must be left in the room when the senator leaves.
* Senators are not allowed to discuss or characterize in detail what they've read (though they most certainly will try.)

This all but confirms what a sham process the FBI "investigation" was. If Kavanaugh really had nothing to hide, then even this limited investigation would have a copy of its report released to every Senator with names redacted as need be. But no no no, this sham is deliberately designed to make it more difficult for Senators to access.

Why? Why the cover-up? Yet again, if Kavanaugh really were innocent, then let's get the truth out there and stop covering it up for the umpteenth time.

Do you suddenly not trust the FBI? Or did you only trust it when Comey, McCabe, Strzok and crew were trying to sink Trump?

Wtf are you talking about? Nobody is questioning the FBI, they're questioning why their report is being held under Ft. Knox level security and Area 51 level secrecy under order of Trump. This is a job interview for the Supreme Court and is a position of incredible importance and honor. The American people deserve to know what's in that report before they're stuck with him for life. Stop trying to distract from the facts with your tangents and non-responses.

I trust the institution. The shenanigans of Comey and crew are an aberration that, hopefully, has been corrected.

Please stow the indignant baloney. The report is available to every senator and they will be the ones voting. I don't care if it's public or not. Everyone knows there was nothing to find. It was a waste of time carried out to placate the whining left.

I dont believe that any such FBI interviews are ever made public. Every senator will have the chance to read them but I am willing to bet that the number of democrats that actually bother to do so is under 10.

Yeah, the investigation was a sham. They didn't even bother interviewing Kavanaugh's roommate or numerous others. It's a game and they know how to play it.

It's obvious that the White House limited the scope while publically claiming otherwise.

It's probably better that we moved passed the Kavanaugh issue and return to talking about how incompetent Trump is.
 
The report should be made public AFTER the senate votes along with a list of senators who took the time to read it before they voted and what senators choose to ignore it and vote.

I have no issues with it being kept restricted until then especially considering how leak prone this nomination process has been.

You don't know what is in it but you declare it is a sham....

Nice unpartisan appraisal.

Do you have a "need to know"?

Oh, and it is going to 100 Senators... It will likely be public information soon afterwards.

you people and your lack of not only reading but of understanding the process.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gr...h-file-says-it-doesnt-corroborate-ford-claims

But sources told Fox News on Wednesday that a 2009 memorandum of understanding governed the process that resulted in one report being sent to Congress and kept in a safe. The sources added that all 100 senators were authorized to view the document, upon request from the committee and the designated nine committee staffers.

there was a 2009 memorandum that governs the use of background checks.
mostly because they are secure and private.
They are not to be leaked and they are kept in a vault.

that is why. All members of congress are free to see it and read it.
all of the committee members can read and see it.

You should do a bit more research before spouting off on nonsense that you don't know what you are talking about.
nothing is being covered up.

his room mate was never witness to the accussations of rape which is what was requested.
they wanted a background check into the rape accusations.

that was the scope that is what they looked into.
his room mate was neither present or at any of the said incidents. if he was then they would have interviewed him about
what they saw.

they got exactly what they asked for.
 
Actually, it was Dianne Feinstein that demanded on the limited release of the FBI report. Y'all might want to ask yourself why the head dem doesnt want the FBI report to get out.

No it isn't. their is only 1 copy of the report.
It goes to the white house for review then it goes to the committee for review it is then locked in a vault
per a 2009 memo that was sent out.

it is open for any congressman to read once they request it but they have to go there and read it.
it is not sent out.
 
The FBI report is sham.

I mean come on, how saw THAt coming?

I hope the report will be made public soon, but considering the previous leakage, limiting the knowledge of what's in it to only those voting is fine with me.

if anyone can say thing they are inconsistent.
 
I understand some people think that a condition of public service is you publish the name, address, phone number and photos of everyone you ever had sex with, everything you ever told a lawyer, what color underwear you wear, and every other detail of the person's life. But in fact, if such private information would be made public, not only would every rational person take the 5th, the number of innocent people whose lives could be residually shattered is potentially massive.

Besides, ALL OF US KNOW that if there is ANY actually damaging to Kavanaugh, it will be leaked to the NYT within 3 minutes.

There does seem to be a bit of picking and choosing. Granted, we're all a bit prone to that kind of thing but this is off the deep end

Funny how you ignored the following...or simply didn't read the article all the way through. Just saw what you wanted to see.

Important point
This is, quite literally, how the process is designed to work, as guided by a bipartisan Judiciary Committee memorandum of understanding signed in 2009. Background investigations are not supposed to be made public -- in fact, it's against the law to do so. The limited number of people with access, the restrictions on public disclosure, even the number of copies provided, are all dictated by rules the committee agreed to nine years ago.

It's worth noting -- Republican senators discussed for days whether there was a way to make some form of the information public, either in summary form or some other mechanism. It was decided that given the rules in place, and the potential legal issues, it isn't doable at this point.

Looks to me like Republicans WANTED this information out in the public but the rules made in 2009 by a bi-partisan Judiciary Committee made it impossible to do.

Yet here you are, claiming fraud, sham and everything else that you can. Who cares about the truth right? EMOTIONS are where its all at.

I found another article that said the same thing. he should have read his own article. I am sure he read it but ignore it.
that tends to happen a lot.

however there is nothing dishonest and or underhanded going on here.
