GOP senator: Secret FBI report shows no Kavanaugh misconduct

Oh, and since we’ve forgotten about this era, Carville is a Democratic strategist.

Claiming that “the harsh and unfair treatment” of Kavanaugh is “having an incredible upward impact on voters”, Trump tweeted today that the “PEOPLE get it far better than the politicians”.

“This great life can not be ruined by mean and despicable Democrats and totally uncorroborated allegations!”

Ford’s attorneys, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, said Wednesday they haven’t heard back from the Federal Bureau of Investigation about scheduling an interview about Ford’s claim that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her decades ago. Senators are not supposed to divulge the contents of the agency’s background reports.

Prof Ford’s lawyer said eight people were not interviewed who could corroborate her claims, while Ms Ramirez’s lawyer said more than 20 witnesses were not contacted.

Most Democrats opposed Trump’s nomination of Kavanaugh from the outset.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has already started a process that will produce a crucial test vote in his polarized chamber Friday on Kavanaugh’s fate. Given Democrats’ complaints about Kavanaugh’s partisan rhetoric last week, they asked, why hadn’t Coons also expressed concern when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg attacked Donald Trump in 2016. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), said he would tell him to “knock it off”, though he was quick to defend Kavanaugh.

Ben Sasse used a Senate speech to lambast the president for publicly mocking Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Mr Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were in high school. “Well, do you think it was – nope, it was one beer”, Trump said at a campaign rally in MS, questioning what Ford told the Senate Judiciary Committee during testimony last week.

According to the Washington Post, FBI agents only spoke to six people as a part of the investigation.

Blasey Ford “wasn’t raped, I just think they’re blindly following a woman who has no evidence”, she added.

The Kavanaugh fight has riveted Americans weeks before November 6 elections in which Democrats are trying to take control of Congress from the Republicans.

Several senators said 10 witnesses were interviewed for the report. “I don’t know”, the California senator said. Julie Swetnick, who implicated Kavanaugh in a pattern of sexual assaults, was also not interviewed. She would not say if they would affect her vote. Schumer also called for the White House to make its directive for the FBI investigation to be made public as well.

As for whether Blasey Ford’s allegations are uncorroborated, Sen.

Republican Senator from Alaska Lisa Murkowski is surrounded by the media before viewing documents in the Senate Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., October 04, 2018.

MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt interviewed Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said that ridiculing “something this sensitive at a political rally is just not right”. I wish he hadn’t done it.

“It is appalling that the Supreme Court selection process has become so politicized that senators are willing to overlook the candidate’s untruthfulness during sworn testimony”, alumna Elizabeth Swisher said. She made time to appear at Trump’s rally Tuesday night in Southaven, Mississippi.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Wednesday echoed the president’s newly aggressive approach.

In an interview, No. 2 Senate Democratic leader Richard Durbin of IL said McConnell was “hell bent on getting this done” this week.

Dr Ford testified that she could not remember the precise date or location of the alleged assault or how she got home afterward.

“I had one beer”. He said he disagreed with how Trump disparaged Ford, but, he added, “It can be worse”.

“I don’t remember”, he said repeatedly, apparently mocking her testimony. I don’t remember. Where’s the place? I don’t know. Upstairs, downstairs, where was it?

“I don’t know. I don’t know”, the President continued. I don’t even know him. That strategy would give waverers one last day to decide how they’ll vote.
