NYT: FBI Follow-Up Investigation Could End Today; Democrats Shriek

The media keeps calling this a "limited" investigation in coordination with Democrats in order to delegitimize it.

But of course this is a "limited" supplemental background investigation -- they are not doing another (the seventh) full background investigation on Kavanaugh, which would involve financial dislosures and contacts with foreign nationals and all that.

The investigation is "limited" in the precise sense that they are interviewing people who can provide information about the new allegations.

What else would they be doing?

More #FakeNews from the media wing of the Democrat Party.

Because the list of witnesses is fairly short -- especially because of Ms. Ford's conveniently elusive recollections of who was at this alleged party -- of course this will lot be a long investigation.

But, as John Sexton notes, the Democrats are calling this a sham, because the point of all this isn't to investigate Ford's allegations, it's to stall the nomination until after the mid-terms.

The F.B.I. moved on Sunday to quickly complete an abbreviated investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, even as Democrats demanded more information about the inquiry’s scope, warning that its apparent constraints could make it a "farce."

...

Officials said the F.B.I.' "limited" supplemental background check of Judge Kavanaugh could be finished by Monday morning. Set in motion late last week by three Senate Republicans, the inquiry was supposed to shed further light on accusations that Judge Kavanaugh engaged in sexual misconduct during his high school and college years and help resolve the fierce national debate over whether he should win confirmation to the Supreme Court.

But the investigation's apparent narrow reach has infuriated the judge's critics, who said he should be subjected to a wide-ranging examination of his drinking and possible sexual misconduct.

Ah. His drinking now.

Trump was asked about that repeatedly in his press conference about the US-Mexico-Canada trade deal. Trump pointed out, correctly, that Brett Kavanaugh repeatedly confessed to drinking a lot in high school and college. The only thing he specifically denied was being a "black-out drunk" where he drank so much he forgot all details of what had happened in the past.

Something Ms. Ford accomplishes without drinking, it seems.

Kavanaugh even responded to a question about passing out by admitting that yes, when he drank, sometimes he then got tired and fell asleep, only to then note that this is not the same as being "black-out" drunk.

So the Democrat Media is really just lying here in claiming Kavanaugh claimed he didn't get drunk. He only denied getting black-out, amnesiac drunk.

And what investigation could prove otherwise?

In the seventeenth paragraph, after suggesting for the previous sixteen paragraphs that Trump had "limited" the investigation, the NYT admits:

It is not unusual for the White House to specify the scope of a request for additional background information on a nominee. No evidence has emerged that the White House has forbidden any investigative steps, and President Trump has said he wants agents "to interview whoever they deem appropriate, at their discretion."

As many point out, you are watching goalposts not being merely shifted but being raced around the field to wherever the Democrat Media Complex needs them next.

You can tell how serious all of this is by their Plan C line of attack -- what some are calling Boofer Trutherism, but which I call Booferism.

But the Democrat Media Complex isn't just about discovering the real meaning of the #PizzaGate #Codeword "boof."

On Reliable Sources on Saturday, Brian Stelter, aka "Tater," aka "Fat Joker," demanded to know of Matt Schlapp, "You don't really think 'Devil's Triangle' is a drinking game, do you?"

I know Brian Stelter's definition of a Devil's Triangle -- it's that thing where you have three friends tie you down and cram red-food-dyed Twinkies into your fat face.
