FBI Director Admits the Investigation Into Brett Kavanaugh Total Sham

Meridian ID

Description

Back when then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was undergoing his Senate confirmation hearing in 2018, the FBI set up a tip line to field information regarding the mounting sexual assault and misconduct claims piling up against him. We already knew that the FBI didn’t investigate a number of these tips, even those made first-hand by the accusers themselves. We’ve known from the start that the “investigation” that laid a clear path to Kavanaugh’s confirmation was a total sham. This week, Whitehouse finally got Wray—who somehow still has his job—to admit that the FBI did not investigate the tips that came in. Rather, they “reviewed” them, but only to separate out the relevant ones about Kavanaugh. They then sent those tips to the Trump White House, to do with whatever they pleased, which definitely didn’t include any sort of investigation. Wray also admitted that, as Whitehouse put it, “the FBI took direction from the White House as to whom the FBI would question.” Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation, like so much of Trump’s presidency, was just a total scam from top to bottom.
