'THE FBI CONFIRMS ITS BRETT KAVANAUGH INVESTIGATION WAS A TOTAL SHAM
Oh, well, it’s not like he received a lifetime appointment to the
Supreme Court or anything.'

'In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse had the following exchange with FBI director Christopher Wray (emphasis ours):
'Whitehouse: As you know, we are now entering the fourth year of a frustrating saga that began with an August 2019 letter from me and
Senator Chris Coons, regarding the Kavanaugh supplemental background investigation. And I’d like to try to get that matter wrapped up. First, is it true that after Kavanaugh-related tips were separated from regular tip-line traffic, they were forwarded to White House counsel without investigation?
Wray: I apologize in advance that it has been frustrating for you. We
have tried to be clear about our process. So when it comes to the tip
line, we wanted to make sure that the White House had all the
information we have, so when the hundreds of calls started coming in, we gathered those up, reviewed them, and provided them to the White House—
Whitehouse: Without investigation?
Wray [long pause]: We reviewed them and then provided them to—
Whitehouse: You reviewed them for purposes of separating them from
tip-line traffic, but did not further investigate the ones that related
to Kavanaugh, correct?
Wray: Correct.
Whitehouse: Is it also true that, in that supplemental B.I. [background investigation], the FBI took direction from the White House as to whom
the FBI would question, and even what questions the FBI could ask?
Wray: So, it is true that, consistent with the longstanding process that
we have had going all the way back to at least the Bush administration,
the Obama administration, the Trump administration, and continue to
follow currently under the Biden administration, that in a limited supplemental B.I., we take direction from the requesting entity, which
in this case was the White House, as to what follow-up they want. That’s the direction we’ve followed. That’s the direction we’ve consistently followed throughout the decades, frankly. You asked specifically about
who and what?
Whitehouse: Yeah. I said, Is it true?
Wray: It is true as to the who. I’m not sure, as I sit here, whether it’s also true as to the “what questions,” but it is true as to the who
we interviewed.'

The same guy you just mentioned favorably in another thread on the raid on Trump's home?I didn't mention him "favorably", Liarboy.
I pointed out that any bias in the FBI director's actions would be in Trump's favour...Yeah, as if a Gestapo raid of his home would be in his FAVOR.
...just like they were in the Kavanaugh investigation.As if Vanity Fair is a reliable news source.
