FBI report expected imminently, one copy to be placed in Senate Judiciary Committee safe

The FBI is expected to send a single copy of its supplemental report on sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to Capitol Hill, where it will be kept in a Senate Judiciary Committee safe, two senior Senate sources confirmed to Fox News Wednesday.

The sources added that the report will be sent to the White House before it goes to the committee and it may be carried to the offices of individual senators by request. All 100 senators and nine staffers will be authorized to read the document.

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, told Fox News' "The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino" Wednesday that he expected to see the report "sometime today."

"Obviously, that will enable the process to move forward and we hope that we’re going to have the votes to get [Kavanaugh] confirmed when it’s all said and done," Thune said.

Multiple women have stepped forward to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct. The first, professor Christine Blasey Ford, has not yet heard from the FBI about scheduling an interview with her, according to her legal team in a Wednesday letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. Grassley has asked for details on Ford's claims for his committee, saying: "It’s disappointing that Dr. Ford’s attorneys were willing to share evidence with The Washington Post many weeks ago but to this day refuse to share the same evidence, which Dr. Ford relied on in her testimony, with the Senate.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., must move to end debate on Kavanaugh's nomination to the high court by the end of Wednesday to preserve any hope of holding a confirmation vote this week, as McConnell previously vowed. However, any move to press forward before the FBI report is complete could risk alienating Republican Sens. Jeff Flake, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski -- all of whom have supported the bureau's investigation.

"[McConnell] said we would vote this week," Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, told reporters. "I’d take him at his word, but we want to do first things first and read the report."

Republicans hold a 51-49 advantage in the Senate and can only afford to lose one vote before Kavanaugh's nomination would be scuppered.

"It's an audience of three that we have to win over, at least at the moment," said Thune, referring to Flake, Collins and Murkowski.

It is not clear whether any part of the FBI report will be made public, but Thune acknowledged "some of it will probably make its way out into the public and into the mainstream."

"But most importantly, at least right now, is that all senators who are going to have the responsibility to vote on this nomination have an opportunity to review it, assess it and come to their own conclusions about what’s in there."

Of course they are, not surprising, all part of the plan, White House down, the last thing Trump wants is anything made public that jeopardizes Mitch's "ramming it thru," although what will always be remembered after Bret is the "rammed thru," is the lasting visual from the whole thing
 
why the secrecy?
Transparency is always the best move- and it would give public confidence if we knew the FBI results

We've bowed to their every desire. Want the FBI to go to all the witnesses and confirm? No problem. Want the FBI to do another background check? No problem. Do it within a week? No problem.
Time to vote.

No more delays or any more offering the Dems even the tiniest openings for further junk they'll come up with.
It'll come out after the vote.
Time to vote NOW. :cool:
 
No more ramming through Dem's wants and needs just because they blew it by not investigating this whole matter confidentially back when it came up.

This. Right here. They only held on to that testimony in case in looked like Kavanaugh might get selected. If not, it would have never seen light. That action alone proves they do not, nor ever did, give a rats ass about Ford as a person.

Nobody has bowed, Trump blew it, as I said previously, they framed the testimonies on national TV as a "he said/she said" dichotomy anticipating she would come off looking like a dimwit, Bret the altar boy, and the whole thing would be forgotten. Shocking to them, she didn't, quite the opposite, leaving the question of why don't they investigate in the public view.

From there, Mitch didn't have the votes, so they had to grant an investigation, but they were damn sure it would be limited, brief, kept secret, and fall right on schedule to allow a vote by the weekend

Forget the "bowed" and accommodating to everything, Trump blundered from the offset

Bret was always going to be approved, it was always a gimme, what the Democrats did was prolong his anointment so that it would be remembered in the November elections, Trump and the GOP blundered it giving them more than they ever imagined

By your own admission though, it appears he is going to win. When are you folks going to get it right?

That is the biggest bunch of horseshit I have heard on this board in a while. I did not expect it from you Archives. Democrats deliberately tried to sink this and drag it out until after the midterms, hoping they will gain seats. They certainly did not help that hope with this stunt.
