I’m just going to lay it out there. I think the latest FBI investigation into Kavanaugh is a stupid waste of time. The man has already been under intense scrutiny by the committee, the FBI (he’s had 6 previous checks) and AMERICA. There’s nothing there. Even Rachel Mitchell concluded that this case doesn’t even reach probable cause. I don’t even know what they’re going to go OFF of, honestly.
Ford doesn’t remember how she got there, when she got there or how she left. She doesn’t even have anyone to corroborate her story. This is pointless.
I’ve seen a lot of conservatives say that this is a blessing in disguise. If the FBI conducts a short investigation, it’ll ease some iffy Republicans (like freakin’ Flake) and shut the Democrats up.
But oh– how wrong they are about that last part. Democrats aren’t going to shut up. At the end of the week, they’re going to be all, “This investigation was rushed! We still don’t have all of the facts! #DelayKavanaugh!”
You watch. Ford’s lawyer, Debra Katz, is already getting warmed up.

As I see it, this simply gives Democrats another week to drag Kavanaugh’s name through the mud. If this is about satisfying Democrats, it’s a waste. They will NEVER be satisfied.
Anyway, Trump tweeted about the new investigation last night, and he seemed pretty darn hopeful.
Just started, tonight, our 7th FBI investigation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. He will someday be recognized as a truly great Justice of The United States Supreme Court!

I’m glad he pointed out that this will be the SEVENTH FBI investigation into Kavanaugh, and I’m glad that he said, definitively, that Kavanaugh will be recognized as a great Supreme Court Justice one day. That’s GOTTA trigger Cory Booker, Kamala Harris and all of their unappeasable friends.
Trump’s words must mean the world to Kavanaugh. God bless him.
