WASHINGTON — House Democrats will open an investigation into accusations of sexual misconduct and perjury against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh if they win control of the House in November, Representative Jerrold Nadler, the New York Democrat in line to be the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said on Friday.
Speaking on the eve of Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote this weekend, Mr. Nadler said that there was evidence that Senate Republicans and the F.B.I. had overseen a “whitewash” investigation of the allegations and that the legitimacy of the Supreme Court was at stake. He sidestepped the issue of impeachment.
“It is not something we are eager to do,” Mr. Nadler said in an interview. “But the Senate having failed to do its proper constitutionally mandated job of advise and consent, we are going to have to do something to provide a check and balance, to protect the rule of law and to protect the legitimacy of one of our most important institutions.”
Mr. Nadler’s comments resembled those of Senate Democrats who pushed aggressively for an F.B.I. investigation into allegations by three women — Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick — that Judge Kavanaugh had engaged in sexual assault or misconduct. Democrats said the resulting investigation fell far short of legitimacy. And they have questioned whether Judge Kavanaugh was truthful in his testimony about a number of issues, including his drinking habits, before the Judiciary Committee.

Nadler, Waters, Speaker Pelosi
I’m sure at the same time the Demoncrats will open an investigation into the treasonous Uranium One Deal.
These idiots may as well be holding a giant “Vote Republican” sign.
Doubling down on stupid for the umpteenth time.
Let’s investigate YOU, Noodles.
I’m sure you have some skeletons in your closet.
Senate promises Hillary and DNC investigation if House starts investigation into Kavanaugh!!!
Nuclear stalemate.
This should be turned into a commercial.
The Rat Party has learned well from their two most famous "sponsors"...Saul Alinsky and Bill Ayers.
FU, FatAss
So the Lower House is going to sit in judgment of the Upper House and it how to conduct its business. Furthermore, Nadler says the Lower House has to be the "checks and balances" against the Upper House.
What an ignoramus. Send him back to fifth grade.
Yes, they do.
Jerry needs to tell us about that “stump broke” donkey.
The investigation, when it really finishes with the Ford story, is not going to be something the Democrats will like.
Of course Jabba the Nutt Nadler has skeletons in his closet. It’s all the people he ate before he had his stomach stapled.
The GOP should hire a horror movie creator to make that commercial showing those three monsters.
Oh screw these idiots. I am so tired of them.
Will this investigation be approved by the head of the DNC, Keith ellison?????
So there will be no more Kavanugh investigation then?
This seals their fate.
All the ‘Rats have to do is read the last seven FBI BIs on him. Save taxpayer money and keeps them from looking foolish.
Is that possible?
