Kavanaugh referred to FBI by DiFi

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/lissandravilla/senate-democrats-have-sent-a-secret-letter-about-brett?__twitter_impression=true

“I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court," Feinstein said. "That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision. I have, however, referred the matter to federal investigative authorities.”

3. Now that the referral is done, the committee vote has to be indefinitely delayed

until the FBI completes their criminal investigation of one Brett Kavanaugh.

- this opens the liability of one Anthony Kennedy for abandoning his seat and selling it.

He'll be indicted within a week, via Mueller's investigation.

There is a law about a SCOTUS abandoning their seat?

Or is this about getting money for abandoning his seat?

A. Kennedy->J. Kennedy->Deutsche Bank->Trump

There. Since no American bank will loan $$ to trump, he had to go outside of the country to get a loan, and he frequently gets loans from Deutsche Bank via Russia.

Anthony Kennedy basically sold the seat to Trump to get Kavanaugh in.

this poster is spewing garbage, the Senate doesn't even have to delay the vote because the FBI is looking into this letter.

8. Why would the Rs care if he's under investigation?

They don't even care that the President is under criminal investigation, has clearly committed a felony with the Stormy Daniels payment, and has been accused of sexual assault. The base approves. It shows off their traditional (caveman) values.

9. She did exactly the right thing

If it's serious enough for someone to go to a Senator with information, it's absolutely right to refer it to the FBI.

It’s time to hit the “DO NOT CONFIRM” button on this SCOTUS Nominee.

15. She's giving him a chance to back away.

If she gave it to the FBI, it would seem to be a no statute of limitations charge.
