Hillary Clinton stopped by CBS’ ‘The Late Show’ on Sept. 21. She’s slamming the GOP and FBI for refusing to investigate sexual assault allegations against SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Hillary Clinton is going hard on the FBI and GOP Senators for refusing to investigate sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, 53. She stopped byThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Sept. 21 to promote the paperback copy of her 2016 presidential election memoir What Happened. The former Secretary of State said it would be “very easy” for the Feds to investigate sexual assault allegations made by Professor Christine Blasey Ford. She claims Kavanaugh pinned her down, covered her mouth and tried to take off her clothes during an alleged attack when they were high schoolers in the ’80s.
Clinton accused GOP members of the Senate Judiciary committee of “trying to rush this through to the detriment of the American public who deserves to have answers to whatever charges might be presented.” She added, “So I’m hoping that at some point there will be an agreement to have an investigation. It would be very easy for the FBI to go back and finish the background investigation, to investigate these charges. And, you know, maybe find out there’s nothing to them, maybe find out there’s something to them, but at least have that investigation completed. And I think that’s what is a fair request, for due process to be asked for.”
The FBI has refused to investigate Ford’s allegations saying it isn’t within their jurisdiction, but they opened an investigation into then-SCOTUS nominee Clarence Thomas in 1991 when Anita Hill accused him of sexual harassment. The committee’s chairman Sen. Charles Grassley, (R-IA) has also refused to have Ford’s claims investigated and has been demanding she come forward to testify in front of them or they will move ahead in Kavanaugh’s confirmation process.
Clinton even brought up how hypocritical the Republicans are, as they refused to even consider then President Barack Obama‘s Supreme Court Nominee Merrick Garland in 2016 to replace late SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia for months until after Donald Trump won the election. Now they want to ram through Kavanaugh’s confirmation at record speed before the midterm 2018 elections where the Senate could flip Democratic and thus possibly prevent him ascending to a lifetime appointment on the nation’s highest court.

Earlier in the day the New York Times reported that US Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein discussed wearing a wire around President Trump in the wake of his decision to fire former FBI director James Comey. Rosenstein has since called their report completely untrue. If Trump decides to can Rosenstein, it could lead to the possible end of Robert Mueller‘s investigation into alleged Russian meddling in Trump’s presidential bid.
Clinton said that Trump can “absolutely” be the subject of a criminal investigation, and anything he did during the campaign is fair game. But now that he’s a sitting president after beating her in the 2016 election, he really couldn’t be indicted for anything he does now. “The Constitution has a specific remedy, which is impeachment,” the former lawyer said.
Kavanaugh was a fantasy....a 15 year old with the most prestigious high school boy in Town.
The Dems are a joke.
it would also be illegal: The FBI has no jurisdiction in rape cases, if it doesn’t occur on Federal land.
Oh, the irony.
Yes, they could write an exoneration first and then “investigate.”
Pravda.
Media needs to be ignored and made obsolete and unseen.
Too much power, corruption and lies.
It would have been much easier to investigate Slick Willie’s rape accusations. There was actually, gasp, evidence.
If Kavanaugh makes to the Supreme Court next week the Dems will EXPLODE ,LOL
OK how about we start with YOUR husband first..than Keith Ellison, sounds good to me!
It’s just natural for Felonia - using Federal agencies to go after her political enemies, just like back in the day with Billy Ray Dale [White House Travel Office] and using the IRS on ALL Rapin Bill’s conquests and sexual assault victims...
Juanita Broadwick should file suit against Bubba. Why shouldn’t #metoo apply to her?
If the Republicans accept the premise that an investigation is needed, it’s over. Fini. Goodbye. They fooled us once. Second time there’s no excuse.
Even easier to investigate the many RAPE charges against Slick Willie. Let’s start there, shall we??
Any investigation would be to interview the two people. Transcribe it. Present it to the committee. If you print on both sides it would take one sheet.
Lest everyone forget, here is a list of Bill Clinton’s KNOWN victims. Don’t forget, he was accused of sexually assaulting a young woman at Oxford and allegedly not charged so as not to tarnish the Rhodes Scholar program:
All that’s missing is a blue dress.
Yup.
