Trump White House curtailed FBI's Kavanaugh probe, report finds

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse's (D-R.I.) report details the extreme grip former President Trump's administration kept over the probe into Kavanaugh's alleged sexual misconduct, including having FBI tips forwarded to the White House and preventing agents from pursuing corroborating evidence.

"The FBI's supplemental background investigation into the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh was unreliable, not because of FBI ineptitude, but because the Trump White House tightly controlled the scope of the investigation," the report reads. Whitehouse's years-long investigation found that messages to the FBI tip line regarding Kavanaugh's background check were forwarded directly to the White House and never probed.

Putin's bitch polluted the Supreme Court.

... Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse ...

And, fwiw, I have sat through listening to numerous interviews with Sen Whitehouse on the various shows.

imo, he came across as someone who cares about the Judicial branch of government, first and foremost.

We have illegitimate supreme court justices that should be removed and their rulings reversed. Too bad there's no way to do the latter and the former requires moral decent republicans in Congress. What a clusterfcck.
