    By limiting investigation, Trump may actually be stepping in it again, facing Ford and Ramirez having their credible claims sort of investigated, while Swetnick works the press about more damning claims (that touch on Devil's Triangle, one of Kav's lies under oath) w/her lawyer.

        More time/xpanded investigation are good. But we all realize the report lands first on Don McGahn's desk, who determines what gets shared?

        Senator Durbin more eloquently described the process ("Justice Kavanaugh, turn around to the front row and ask Don McGahn...")

        McGahn wouldn't be so vigorously and obviously interfering, if there was nothing to find. @WhiteHouse, tell McGahn we see him! It's not working.

        Is this even legal? Can WH dictate who FBI can or can’t speak to? My blood pressure is rising. 🤬

        Trump and his nominee are absolute toast! They were toast from the perjury charges alone that Kavanaugh will face. But now it’s almost guaranteed @MichaelAvenatti will go public with his client and obliterate the WH!! It’s going to pandemonium as early as tonight!

        WH & Don McGahn are telling the world that Kav is guilty of charges made by Swetnick, and validating what's been said by those fellow Yale students/drinking buddies, his roommate. Not acceptable for Supreme Court, or any court. Ex. maybe basketball court.

        Flake needs to follow through and vote no. Otherwise, his was an empty gesture.

        Remember how cocky Cohen & Trump were when they thought Stormy & Avenatti were pushovers. Didn't work out too well for them, did it. Dynamics are similar here - there'll be a slow, less-than-satisfying official investigation, & then the more in-your-face talk show & legal filings

        As with everything else, the more @realDonaldTrump tries to interfere, the more he will fuck it up for himself. ETTD

        @FBI has been pummeled recently. Maybe they'll be motivated to go over and above the call and do a great job.

        Executive Privilege. Remember the 3 million pages of Kavanaugh's documents.

        Can’t witness contact to FBI on their own? Say people that bagged groceries with Judge? Perhaps others that may have been swimming with Ford at Columbia CC that remember her leaving with someone before she went to the party?

        Plus, Swetnick's allegations are backed up at least in one incident by Judge's x-girl friend. Perhaps that is why Trump is trying to limit the damage and limit what they can talk to Judge about.
