Democrats suggest past FBI background checks on Kavanaugh include evidence of inappropriate behavior
Washington Post ^ | 3 October 2018 | Seung Min Kim and John WagneR

Senate Democrats suggested in a new letter Wednesday to the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee that past FBI background checks on Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh include evidence of inappropriate behavior — claims quickly refuted by Republicans as “baseless innuendo.”

The letter — signed by eight of the 10 Democrats on the committee — provides no specifics to back up the Democrats’ assertion that Kavanaugh’s past background checks included such evidence. But the letter challenged the accuracy of a tweet from the committee’s Republican staff on Tuesday that read: “Nowhere in any of these six FBI reports, which the committee has reviewed on a bipartisan basis, was there ever a whiff of ANY issue — at all — related in any way to inappropriate sexual behavior or alcohol abuse.”

The Democrats said the information in the tweet is “not accurate,” urging the GOP to correct them.

This is why Fineswine wants to keep the report secret, so she can LIE about what is in it.

Yeah, the inappropriate behavior must’ve been the reason why he was given access to the nuclear codes...

New one must have nothing new if they’re already pointing to previous background checks which they’ve had forever.

They did the very same thing with the classified reports on Russian Collusion.

Lie their asses off, knowing they wouldn't be released.

But then PDJT released them.

History could be repeated.

Let’s look at their background checks. I’m pretty sure we’d find a lot worse than inappropriate behaviour. In some cases, a whole lot worse (China spy).

Isn’t from the 6 FBI investigations he’s already been through and all the judiciary have been knowledgeable about? If they are those already done six checks, there were no red flags raised at all.

If the FBI finds there is nothing more to the allegations, the Dems will of course turn on the FBI and say the previous 6 investigations were eye-wash jobs that didn’t look at his drinking problem and it should now be further investigated, A 24 year veteran of the FBI was asked this morning what they follow up on and he said witnesses who had been identified, They don’t care if someone drinks beer, They are looking for reasons he might be blackmailed if he’s accepted for a Federal job.

Keep digging. They 35% of the country who wake up everyday hating Trump first thing in the morning will hate him even more. The rest of the country grows more and more disgusted with you.
