Brett Kavanaugh Faces Another Round of Smears and Intimidation

The Times’ Kate Kelly reported that, in a letter to Democratic senators dated June 30, 2021, the FBI said that it had received 4,500 tips on a tip-line set up during a supplemental background investigation of Kavanaugh, and that the most “relevant” of the tips were referred to the Office of White House Counsel, the entity that had requested the supplemental background investigation.

“The letter left uncertain whether the FBI itself followed up on the most compelling leads,” Kelly noted.

But the Times’ report leaves out three key details that would have helped both to clear the air and to clear Kavanaugh’s name: (1) The FBI’s supplemental investigation was always supposed to be limited in time and scope; (2) a summary of all the tips the FBI received was available to all 100 U.S. senators; and (3) we have good reason to believe that none of the supposedly “compelling leads” were actually compelling at all.
...
Second, the New York Times fails to report that the FBI tip-line information was in fact included in the FBI’s report to Congress. A CNN report from 2018, “FBI report includes tip line information,” states:

Quote
The FBI report, according to congressional sources and as well as [sic] sources briefed on the documents, includes not only the interview summaries but also information that came in to the FBI’s tip line.

CNN has reported on a number of individuals from Yale who said they had reached out to the FBI to report information but had not been subsequently contacted by the FBI.

One source says the FBI report is more than 1,000 pages.

Mike Davis, who served as chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Kavanaugh hearings, tells National Review that there was a summary of all 4,500 tips in the FBI’s report, which was available to all 100 U.S. senators.
...
Davis makes a crucial point about Senate Democrats now expressing outrage: “If there was anything that caught their attention, they could have flagged it for further investigation.”

“Every whack-job in the world called into that thing. That’s why there were 4,500 [tips],” says Davis. “Grassley’s team went through the entire tip-line. It was nonsense.” Davis worked under then-chairman Chuck Grassley on the committee and now runs the Article 3 Project, a conservative group that focuses on the judiciary.

IOW, there was an organized effort to flood the tip line in the hopes the the sheer volume of "tips" would cause an indefinite delay in the confirmation process. Every Senator could have seen every "tip". Their silence proves they knew the tips were BS.

The current kerfuffle is fauxny double jeopardy.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Eventually, they'll try to impeach him.
