I have tried to reserve judgement, but I can't any longer. The FBI "investigation" is

a puppet show. This is NOT what. Democrats asked for and is NOT what Republicans promised. While Trump fills the airwaves with his lie that the FBI is in total control and can interview anyone as they see fit, Mr. McGahn has given them a list of who they can question, but only about certain topics. There are no plans to interview either Kavanaugh or Blasey-Ford or "Squi". They will not be investigating his drinking habits and will totally ignore Ms. Swetnick. At the end of this farce, the FBI delivers it's report to Trump and he will "do as he sees fit" with it.

I have a suggestion as to what he should do with it

I haven't yet made an "IMPEACH KAVANAUGH" sign for my car---but I have prepared the stencil.

Too many internet sleuths out there to embarrass them. How can they not follow up with all the leads in the calendar? Timmy tobin’s House, etc. it’s their professional reputations at stake. Half-ass is not their thing. Plus the Tweet is something they can hang their hats on. “Sorry boss but when I saw tweet from president, I knew I had to do a thorough job.”

That said they might hate trump and like Kavanaugh.

Nothing will surprise me. I just dislike FBI less than other institutions these day.

background investigations, they are similar to "contractors" and do ONLY what they are authorized to do by Trump or his designees. They are NOT free to "follow the evidence wherever it leads" as they normally would.

We need 67 votes to convict someone under articles of impeachment. They don't exist. The gop would rather see him in jail then give the seat to a dem president.
