Speaking of complete embarrassments.
Via Free Beacon:
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.) blasted the FBI investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as a “horrific cover-up” on Thursday, calling it an embarrassment for the bureau’s reputation.
Senate Democrats clamored for weeks for an expanded background check into Kavanaugh following public allegations of sexual misconduct against him, which the judge has denied. The White House acquiesced after pressure from key Senate Republicans last week, and the investigation appeared to have revealed no corroborating evidence for any of the claims made against Kavanaugh.
“It’s a complete cover-up,” Merkley said on CNN. “Just as it was explained that Deborah Ramirez’s team, they provided 20 people who should be interviewed because they had corroborating information, and none of them apparently were talked to. We have Dr. Ford, who provided eight names and none of them were talked to. This was a cherry-picking of a few individuals to pretend to do an investigation. This is a complete embarrassment on the reputation of the FBI. If they did this at the direction of the president, then it’s a massive abuse of fairness and justice towards these women who came forward to share their experiences.”
