FBI Zips Through Probe Of Brett Kavanaugh!

The Republicans despite the outcry continue to push forth the nomination of Brett Kavanauagh.

The Senate Judiciary Committee will be reading the FBI probe. Today both sides got to read one page of the FBI's information on the allegations of Brett Kavanaugh. The Democrats slam this as a sham.

Christine Blasey Ford and her lawyers were not interviewed by the FBI. Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnik weren't interviewed by the FBI as well. The probe only focused on nine people.

Ford's former boyfriend wrote to Fox News about allegations that she misled the senators. Iowa senator and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley demanded Ford's lawyers turn over her medical records and information. The lawyers denied his request saying that all information will be turned over to the FBI.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) signaled a procedural vote and confirmation vote this weekend. The inept Majority Leader is confident they have the votes to confirm the nominee Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Republicans may not have votes to confirm this nominee.

Democratic senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey said that the FBI conclusion of the investigation is bullshit.

Democratic senator Heidi Heitkamp from North Dakota faces a tough reelection. She made the right decision to stand with the Democrats on the "NO" vote.

Democratic senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia is the only member of the 49 who hasn't spoken much on the confirmation. Sen. Angus King (I-ME), Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL), Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) have said "NO" to Kavanaugh.
Old fart Orrin Hatch disses female activists.
Alaskan senator Lisa Murkowski, retiring Arizona senator Jeff Flake and Maine senator Susan Collins are the key Republicans who could vote in favor of Kavanaugh. The three are facing pressure from both Republicans and Democrats on their vote. Retiring Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) has confirmed he'll support Kavanaugh, despite the concern.

Montana senator Steve Daines said that he'll be skipping the vote. He got family plans. He said he rather see his daughter get married. So that puts Republicans at 50. So they'll need the three Republicans to make the decision.

Entertainers Amy Schumer and Emily Ratajkowski were arrested by U.S. Capitol Police after they protested around Colins and Flake's office. Democratic New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand embraced the entertainers.

Kavanaugh managed to write an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. He apologized for his actions and say that the allegations were false.

Orrin Hatch, the Utah Republican senator who is retiring disrespected protesters. He was entering an elevator when a group of sexual assault victims confronted him. He waved them off and told them to "grow up."

John Paul Stevens, a former Supreme Court Justice said that Kavanaugh doesn't have the temperament.

Republicans seem to be enthusiastic about the Midterms. They are siding with Trump on the nomination. The gap between Republicans and Democrats is 5 points.
