The FBI has not been permitted to investigate the claims of Julie Swetnick, a White House official confirmed to NBC News.

WASHINGTON — The White House is limiting the scope of the FBI’s investigation into the sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, multiple people briefed on the matter told NBC News.

While the FBI will examine the allegations of Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, the bureau has not been permitted to investigate the claims of Julie Swetnick,

The limited scope seems to be at odds with what some members of the Senate judiciary seemed to expect when they agreed to give the FBI as much as a week to investigate allegations against Kavanaugh, a federal judge who grew up in the Washington DC area and attended an elite all-boys high school before going on to Yale.

Sen. Jeff Flake, Republican of Arizona, who led an 11th hour move in the Senate committee for an FBI inquiry, said he thought the bureau would decide how to carry it out.

Looks like fake news. Investigation of Avenetti is a good thing.

Flake shouldn't have been in such a hurry to betray his claimed party. He should have made sure of the details.
If he didn't, the investigation can be limited any way except for the duration.

They said they would investigate current, credible accusations. The Ford and Ramirez accusations are already stretching credibility. Swetnick’s accusation that BK was a member of a “rape gang” is ridiculous, and anyone represented by Avenatti should be ignored.

Listen to Trump’s words. Trump has ordered an FBI Background Investigation of Kavenaugh. Nothing more and nothing less.

Maybe why that is why Katz is pushing back on “The Scope” and saying there should be no limit on the Time or the Scope.

Katz and Aveantti (Creepy Porn Lawyer) work together.

That makes sense. Sweatnik never accused him of anything other than being at a party where Sweatnik served alcohol to minors and engaged in sexual activity with them ... uh, I mean -- something happened.

So the next delay asked for will have to include Swetnick I guess.

Let Flake try to keep a straight face when he asks for that.

Would not surprise me if this report was accurate because the senate wanted a limited investigation of CREDIBLE allegations. The swetnick Avenatti is pure BS.

Katz is just as creepy as the porn star lawyer and despite her lezzie looking crew cut she craves what he has got. To at least check it out once.

Agree. Her allegations are absurd and the easiest to disprove. Unlike Ford, she has two to three years of parties to provide evidence for. Not investigating her allows her to say whatever she wants.

Trump is wise. This is the kind of limit that should have been placed on the Russia probe to stop it from its ever-expanding scope. We have had enough of “investigative creep”.

Well we sure wouldn’t want them investigating any democrat treachery, right? See, we give democrats an inch and we end up letting them take a mile every time.

It seems like Avenetti has some very powerful puppetmasters behing him though. This might be the real reason the FBI is not going there.

I wonder if this will be brought up in his interview tomorrow with 60 minutes which he did along with Coons?
