The FBI investigation into whether Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh lied to the Senate during his testimony before the Judiciary Committee is heading to the Senate for its review.<\/p>\n

It’s supposed to be for senators’ eyes only.<\/p>\n

Hah! Don’t bet on it staying that way.<\/p>\n

Republicans will leak the parts of the report that buttress Kavanaugh’s bid to join the nation’s highest court; Democrats will leak those parts that do damage to Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n

My strong preference, quite obviously, is for the entire FBI finding to be made public. Send them to the rest of us, the bosses, the folks for whom the president<\/em> works, for whom Congress<\/em> works, for whom the Supreme Court<\/em> works.<\/p>\n

The FBI investigation was supposed to be “comprehensive,” according to Donald John Trump’s own words. It wasn’t. The FBI didn’t talk to Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers in 1982. It didn’t talk, yet again, with Kavanaugh. It didn’t talk to two other women who have leveled accusations against Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n

The report isn’t comprehensive. It is a perfunctory effort.<\/p>\n

And now only the Senate will see it in detail, such as it is.<\/p>\n

Do you believe senators will keep its contents secret? Neither do I.<\/p>\n

We’re likely to hear what both sides want<\/em> us to hear. It’s only going to inflame passions even more \u2026 as if we need more division in this country.<\/p>\n\n
