Not sure what Avenatti is asking for, but FBI will only disclose whether something or someone is being investigated. They'll never tell us what they find. That's just the way it works.

He's like a roadmap vs. wandering out in the desert. You may be sure they will get everything he has. Of course they will need to corroborate, but that's a lot easier than looking for a needle in a haystack.

but the FBI has to present a report to the Committee and, unless I'm mistaken, that makes it public. By leak, if nothing else. Truthfully, I don't want to know the details...just the conclusions.

We can't treat this like the 2016 election and take ANYTHING for granted... there's fuckin' WAY too much at stake. Imagine that scumbag rapist sits on the SCOTUS for 30-40 years... does anyone seriously want to take that chance?!?! Sure as HELL not me... fuck no!!

If he takes down gang-rapist KKKavanaugh, he's prolly a shoe-in for President.

I don't think the FBI is looking into it. If they are I think it will only be Christine Blasey Ford and the people she said was there.

According to MSNBC. The White House is claiming it is not a credible allegation and has instructed the FBI not to investigate. WTF? I think it is more credible than the Ramirez case, which they are investigating.
