White House Deputy Press Secretary Basically Confirms That The FBI Found Nothing Juicy On Kavanaugh

The FBI has completed its investigation into Brett Kavanaugh and sent its findings to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The report contains notes from the interviews it conducted from witnesses, but there are NO CONCLUSIONS, because the FBI doesn’t make those.

We’re not allowed to know the details of the report, thanks to Dianne Feintstein. However, White House Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah indicated that there’s nothing damning. He said, based on the report, that senators should feel very “comfortable” in voting to confirm Judge Kavanaugh.

In other words, the FBI found NOTHING juicy or damning.

He also emailed a full statement, which read:

“The White House has received the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s supplemental background investigation into Judge Kavanaugh, and it is being transmitted to the Senate. With Leader McConnell’s cloture filing, Senators have been given ample time to review this seventh background investigation.”

“This is the last addition to the most comprehensive review of a Supreme Court nominee in history, which includes extensive hearings, multiple committee interviews, over 1,200 questions for the record and over a half million pages of documents.”

“With this additional information, the White House is fully confident the Senate will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.”

The big vote could happen this weekend.
