This hateful man needs to go away.

then WhiteHouse spell it out to the American people your directives..FBI should then confirm..let us see that you guys are not lying or alternative facting us as you have in the past

This is very clear: Trump wants his government to be full of people like him, rapists, racists, sexists etc

Administration is lying, limits are in place. What are they afraid of?

Staff and president have no idea how a proper investigation is conducted.

So realDonaldTrump and his deceitful majority are lying again 5,000+ and counting

Watch what they do not what they say.

Source: Anonyous Sr. U.S. official RE: "internal conversations”-“…McGahn is...guiding investigation & has been in frequent touch w/Republican senators about scope”-WHY ONLY REPUBLICANS? L. Graham described witness list on TV shows Sunday-do Dems on panel have list? PUBLISH LIST!

Foment confusion. That’s the m.o. of the WH. Make room for more lies.

Giving only a week to investivate.....then yes they are. Not talking to the accusers......then yes they are limiting the investigation.

Agree confirmKavanaugh ConfirmKavanaughNow

Try to explain pls ? Factfinding is a fishing expedition and we want to find facts, dont we. So what is up. KavanaughHearings FBIKavanaughinvestigation FBIMustInvestigate

Yeah fishing to anyone that knows the truth liars

While they are at it, investigate Ford with her gofundme, free attorneys, collusion with democrats? Did she even go to police first? Isn’t that where you go when you believe a crime has been committed? Surely, not politicians 🤷‍♀️

You have a journalistic responsibility to have honest reporting about Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as well! The WashingtonPost is being watched for TruthfulBalancedReporting. Recently you've been BADLY Failing!

Then the Trump White House should let the FBI speak out on what they are allowed to investigate and NOW !

you can call ANYTHING - a 'fishing expedition' - unless you muzzle it

DUE PROCESS D U E P R O C E S S D U E P R O C E S S JeffFlake promised DUE PROCESS! Is cherry picking evidence due process? Is excluding a witness who was IDENTIFIED and SLANDERED by Kavanaugh IN THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE HEARING due process? Partisan AbuseOP.

If the Administration announced a one year investigation, opponents would complain that it’s not long enough and arbitrary.

A justice system of time & scope that picks and chooses what evidence to follow reeks of Trump's touch. Since Kavanaugh has not already withdrawn his nomination, he's obviously being coached and the outcome of the FBI investigation rigged in advance

THE FBI DOESN'T GO ON FISHING EXPEDITIONS. THEY GO LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH.

What the fuck is "fishing expedition" in an investigation? FBI only allow to talk to Witness 1 Putin 2. Trump, 3.Graham, 4. McConnel, 5. Grassley, 6. Ryan.....ect and so on. These are credible witnesses and prove Kavavaugh is clean. Hahaha LOLLOLLOLLOL my 2 cents

In other words the fix is in. Kava will forever be taontd however.

Can’t believe anything from the WH!

Off the record from FBI officials confirm that WH authorities are restricting the investigation. It’s steps are being watched by advisers from the WH and from GOP staffers on the Judiciary Committee! Don’t believe Trump’s denial !

Isn’t that the very definition of an investigation?

The people who brought us the Whitewater probe & Benghazi! are suddenly opposed to fishing expeditions now, are they? 🧐

Uncovering evidence against your nominee is now considered a “ fishing expedition “ GOP moving goalposts on a daily basis

Against "fishing expedition" = We're afraid of (or know) what you may find.

that means it is limiting the scope.

AT THE LEAST a person who made prior allegations, who has been identified IN THE HEARING & whose name was slandered BY KAVANAUGH himself in that JUDICIAL Committee hearing, should be interviewed by the FBI in this limited scope investigation. As Should RonanFarrow & NewYorker .

False premise: the Trump administration is honest. Time could be wasted trying to force the Trump-truth oxymoron into the mind’s perceptive lexicon. Don’t. This circumstance can create perception that Trump could dictate investigative terms, but is too ‘good’ to do it. Don’t.

They’re lying.

Hola como están esto y de acuerdo muchas gracias

Define a fishing expedition. Is it discovering unfavourable information. ? So , selective outcomes. Ok.

so they are limiting it

But Trumpverse and the GOP are all perfectly fine with the idea that the executive can single handedly stop investigations into potentially criminal acts.

Crimes are crimes asshats

These people want an Nother open ended collusion conspiracy investigation

I fishing expedition‼️

I'm old enough to remember a 3 year fishing trip a certain party went on to Benghazi

Why should I believe any of them at this point?

He's almost got that trump pucker down pat.

So in other words, the White House is in fact limiting the scope of the FBI investigation into allegations against Kavanaugh.

Always with stipulation

Sounds more like double speak to me! First denying it's "limiting" the investigation of Kavanaugh, then admitting to doing exactly that! A FOIA records search should immediately be done to determine what these "limitations" entail! PDQ!,

Oh ok...I totally believe this shitshow that calls itself an administration. IBelieveChristineBlaseyFord

What the dems did for this confirmation hearing Japan did at pearl harbor, now hell is coming to the dems in Nov.

White House: “We’re not going to restrict the FBI, as long as they follow our restrictions.”...

Because he has been vetted 6 TIMES by the FBI already

The administration lies a lot.

You guys should know about fishing expeditions ... The Russian Collusion Investigation. Ring any bells. All Americans are well aware of your media tactics.

Kavanaugh vote: Senate Republican leaders agree to new FBI background investigation of KavanaughThe announcement came after two key Republicans suggested they would not vote to confirm Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court without additional information on sexual misconduct allegations against him. Analysis: Does the Senate have the votes to confirm Kavanaugh? Because the 7th one will do the trick. Ridiculous. What a wicked, ingenious way from the Republicans to get rid of Kavanaugh while keeping their *talons off the carrion. Kavanaugh will withdraw!

Christine Blasey Ford not contacted by FBI investigatorsChristine Blasey Ford and her lawyers have not been contacted by the FBI since President Trump ordered the supplemental FBI background investigation to be reopened. Ford testified at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday, into allegations that she was sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Well, apparently, they may not be deemed necessary. Trump has control (unfortunately). He will squash the investigation to benefit the Reps, and himself. Not truth or country. Trump ignores due process. 👎 Sounds like another REPUBLICAN FARCE TO MAKE THEM LOOK LIKE THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING!!!!!! THE F.B.I. INVESTIGATION ON KAVENAUGH IS NOT EVEN TALKING TO FORD'S LAWYER OR HER!!!!!!!! VOTERS WILL REMEMBER WHAT REPUBLICANS DID ON ELECTIONDAY WITH THEIR FARCE F.B.I. INVESTIGATION!!!

Ex-FBI official says his book has been delayed by FBI reviewWASHINGTON (AP) — Former FBI acting Director Andrew McCabe says his book has been delayed because of an FBI review and he's concerned he's been singled out for what he calls 'irregular unfair treatment.' McCabe's book was scheduled for release Dec. 4. He now says in a statement that it'll come out in February. McCabe says the 'FBI's review has taken far longer than they led me to believe it would.' He needs to sue the Administration. Irony. So Trump is delaying publishing of a book. Soon the Brown Shirts will be showing up to book stores to burn books.
