The GOP-led Senate Judiciary Committee earned mega praise from conservatives and mega condemnation from liberals Thursday after it savagely smacked down one of ranking member Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s newfound complaints about the FBI’s concluded investigation.
This time the far-left Democrat complained about the legitimacy of the FBI’s findings that there was no evidence to substantiate accuser Christine Blasey Ford’s spurious accusation that Supreme Court nominee Brette Kavanaugh had once sexually assaulted her in high school decades ago.
“[W]hat I can say is that the most notable part of this report is what’s not in it. As we noted by the White House, the FBI did not interview Brett Kavanaugh, nor did the FBI interview Dr. Blasey Ford,” Feinstein kvetched during a presser early Thursday afternoon.
She continued by accusing the FBI of ignoring certain witnesses and running “an incomplete investigation that was limited, perhaps by the White House.” Yet during this same presser Feinstein admitted that she hadn’t even read the bureau’s report in full yet.
Listen:
The GOP-led committee responded through its official Twitter account shortly thereafter by posting a tweet essentially mocking Feinstein for her disingenuous rhetoric.
While it’s unclear which specific committee member runs the Twitter account, the member is most certainly NOT a Democrat.

Look:
By “what’s not in it,” Ranking Member @SenFeinstein must be referring to the total lack of corroborating evidence. https://t.co/MyB6ZAtkjb

Fair point. The White House, committee chairman Chuck Grassley and Sens. Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee, among others, have all confirmed that the FBI’s investigation had found nothing to corroborate Ford’s claims against Kavanaugh.
She also complained that senators questioning Ford was not the same as FBI agents. The SJC had the perfect comeback for that:
Perhaps Senate Democrats could've hired a professional? For example, a career prosecutor with decades of experience dealing with sex crimes? https://t.co/qVsrVfpIIG https://t.co/ImvbKoohc9

And, for the record, Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats DEMANDED five minutes each.

Feinstein’s rhetoric was wrong in other ways as well. Take her instance that the investigation had somehow been limited by the White House. President Donald Trump confirmed over the weekend that the bureau had been granted “free rein” to “whatever they have to do, whatever it is they do.”
He echoed this sentiment again later in the week after the NBC News incorrectly reported that he was limiting the investigation:
NBC News incorrectly reported (as usual) that I was limiting the FBI investigation of Judge Kavanaugh, and witnesses, only to certain people. Actually, I want them to interview whoever they deem appropriate, at their discretion. Please correct your reporting!

It’s also unclear why Feinstein appears think she knows better than the FBI how to perform an investigation.
The committee’s savage tweet, earned mega praise from conservatives thrilled at seeing Republicans finally stand up to Democrat bullying and intransigence:

But it also inspired many, many, many tears from the perpetually outraged far-left:

Hard to find evidence when you aren’t even looking. The partisan abuse of this account is disgraceful.

If the GOP cared about the legitimacy of the SCOTUS, it wouldn’t ignore the nominee’s partisanship & the demonstrable lies Sen. Leahy described.
You quashed 90% of his WH documents.
You made a mockery of the committee’s process & women, too.#StopKanavaughIgnore bots & trolls
