Democrat calls for an investigation into the FBI for ‘fake’ Kavanaugh investigation

Well, here we go. During the 2020 election Democrats promised that if they won the majority they would open up investigation after investigation into the Trump administration and according to this story it look like they are going to begin with an issue that really sticks in their craw, Brett Kavanaugh. You might be asking yourself what this issue is other than hurt feelings because Brett Kavanaugh was nominated and confirmed according to the process. The Democrats are going to go after the FBI, accusing the agency of conducting a “fake” investigation into the nominee.

Here is more:

The FBI is facing new scrutiny for its 2018 background check of Brett Kavanaugh, the supreme court justice, after a lawmaker suggested that the investigation may have been “fake”.

Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democratic senator and former prosecutor who serves on the judiciary committee, is calling on the newly-confirmed attorney general, Merrick Garland, to help facilitate “proper oversight” by the Senate into questions about how thoroughly the FBI investigated Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing.

The FBI was called to investigate the allegations during the Senate confirmation process but was later accused by some Democratic senators of conducting an incomplete background check.

“This was unique behavior in my experience, as the Bureau is usually amenable to information and evidence; but in this matter the shutters were closed, the drawbridge drawn up, and there was no point of entry by which members of the public or Congress could provide information to the FBI,” Whitehouse said.

That sounds a lot like the way the FBI investigated Hillary Clinton over her emails, or Bill Clinton and Lorretta Lynch over the tarmac meeting so it sounds like business as usual to me…

But regardless, I remember a time not all that long ago when the Democrats were attacking Donald Trump for questioning the integrity of the FBI. They were screaming about how it was un-American and how it was undermining Democracy and sowing the seeds of doubt in Americans’ minds about the integrity of an American institution. But now apparently this is okay and we are not supposed to notice the hypocrisy.

The plan here is obvious, the Democrats are going to try to impeach Brett Kavanaugh in what they believe will be the delicious irony of using Merrick Garland to begin the process, or they are going to use this as an excuse to pack the Supreme Court.
