to Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Chris Coons, D-Del., made public Thursday, Jill Tyson of the FBI's congressional affairs office acknowledged that the department conducted only 10 additional interviews in its supplemental investigation, even though it had received over 4,500 tips.
Tyson said"relevant tips" from phone calls and messages were forwarded to the White House counsel's office. It's unclear what became of the tips after that.Whitehouse, who had written FBI Director Christopher Wray asking for details about the inquiry in July 2019, said,"This long-delayed answer confirms how badly we were spun by Director Wray and the FBI in the Kavanaugh background investigation and hearing.
While Wray has said the FBI followed tip line procedures,"he meant the 'procedure' of doing whatever Trump White House counsel told them to do,"A spokesperson for the FBI declined to comment. Former White House counsel Don McGahn did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
"As the Senate has requested, this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week," Trump said at the time.
Why hasn’t Chris Wray been fired?
Thats not how FBI investigations work, heads need to roll
🤣😂 Yeah, that made sense omg 🙄
Of course anybody with a brain can see that kavanaugh should not be supreme Court
Here we go again.
Has anyone asked Collins or Flake whether this is the kind of investigation they voted for?
And not a damn thing is going to be done about it.
Smart play by the feds. Have friends in the media write a story to make it look like FBI is defending republicans.
I’m sure they were all as factual as the alleged rape train. Seriously, how often does the FBI open up tip lines for Supreme Court nominees?
His appointment to the SC put me back on anti-depression meds. No lie.
Yes. To me, it was unclear indeed
The Kavanaugh hearings were characterized by an ongoing insurrection by treasonous Democrat Senators, trying to prevent the seating of a Supreme Court Justice by using hoax conspiracy theories and coordinating civil disorder inside the hallowed halls of Congress.
Circle 13 filing then the deepest place in the Loser's swamp.
The FBI needs to be cleaned out from top to bottom starting with FBI Director Chris Wray.
The FBI creates controversy over the selection of members of the judiciary
Kavanaugh is a drunk and his drinking impairs his judgement. Kavanaugh needs a 12 step program
Ask Wray the questions directly. Why speculate? Let him lie. Then arrest him for Perjury. He works for the people. Not Trump. Dems get harder, smarter. Do unto others before they do unto you. Be swift stop procrastinating.
POTUS you must fire Christopher Wray and bring him to justice.
