I'm not deflecting from anything.  The FBI performed the investigation they believed was appropriate. Indeed, they have thoroughly vetted Kavanaugh on several occasions. 

You responded to claims that the FBI failed to contact any of the names provided to them by asking why the House Judiciary Committee hasn't had an investigation. That absolutely absolutely is deflecting.

Quote:There were several google items about this rather pertinent omission from the NYT article.  They were all absolutely from right leaning sites.  I can't force more moderate or left leaning sources to actually report the news, hence I provided what was available.  The pertinent facts from the cited article aren't in dispute though so I'm not sure what the source has to do with anything.

Every single news source has reported that the NYT updated their report to include that information. If you were looking for someone who was going to use that omission as a launching point for how bad the media is, then yea all of your sources will be conservative. When you post an oped that uses a false narrative and glosses over what the article they're ranting about was actually about, the source becomes incredibly relevant as it is about opinion not facts. 

Quote:We are focusing on the real narrative. 

You aren't. The first thing you posted on this was a extremely partisan oped that only focused on the new 4 sentence allegation and completely ignored the rest of the report. Your follow ups focused on that false narrative again until someone mentioned the FBI investigation to you. 

 

Quote:The FBI conducted the investigation they felt was appropriate.  If the House Judiciary Committee felt this was inadequate they could absolutely follow up.  The fact that they did not is rather telling.  I get it, you believe the FBI investigation was inadequate.  

The whole point of the report is to question if the investigation was adequate and whether or not the practices of the FBI need to be scrutinized. Dismissing this by saying the FBI thought it was appropriate is nonsensical. Should nothing be scrutinized if the party that is facing scrutiny says they think they acted appropriately? I think ignoring 25 sources, even when they reach out to you, is troublesome. 

Quote:Apparently the House Dems disagree with you as they haven't verifiably followed up on this at all.  Your assertion that they have bigger fish to fry doesn't exactly hold water as getting Kavanaugh has been a primary goal of the Dems since his confirmation.  If they had anything of substance on him they would pursue it.  If you choose not to believe this that is, of course, your prerogative. 

That came from Nadler not me. Also, Trump has absolutely been their primary focus.

Quote:Or maybe we just don't agree with the conclusion you came to?  They either deliberately or incompetently left out a key piece of information from their article.  Neither option is a good one.  You complained about condescension previously, please practice what you preach.

If you read the article you wouldn't characterize it as a key piece, nor would you have posted that oped that did. This isn't meant to be condescension. Did you actually read it prior to posting the oped?
