Bizarre. Are these verbal orders, or can we get a copy of the orders?

So the FBI is restricted from talking to anyone not on the original witness list, and yet they didn’t even interview Ford or Kavenaugh - the two primary participants. This “investigation” is proving to be a joke, without merit, and without accountabilty.

They are reported to have interviewed timmy and squi. They were not on the original list.

Now they may not have a completely free hand, but to say they have no hand doesn't ring true.

Is it, "well, this is unacceptable"
or
"I guess they investigated, I can now vote for him."

Until a complete investigation looking into everything is done and completed, and they'll vote no until its done. They'll be hurt if they don't now. It'll blow up even worse if they vote for him with out a complete investigation , and not one corrupted by trump. No one will believe or buy into this one.

How can a President order the FBI to limit an investigation? Especially this important and that it involves HIS judicial pick?

How can they be ordered NOT to interview witnesses if they come forward? He has this kind of power?

If he can do that, why doesn't he just order them to 'limit' their investigation into Russian meddling to how it helped, or tried to help, Democrats and Hillary only?

in his weasel life. To think he whined about "rigged" votes while all the time he was the one who rigged them to begin with just like he's rigged this *investigation* by the FBI by binding their arms by their sides and sticking a gag in the mouths.

But they have to do this because their plan is to ram him onto the court and they don't want any more damaging information coming out to worsen the shit stink.
